Last time I drove by the former Poison Room I saw work being done inside, asked some friends about it, they said it was eventually gonna re-open, and I haven't heard anything since then.
That space has been at least four different clubs, bars, etc. in the last ten years. It could be anything once it reopens. It's in a good spot - I don't understand why nothing seems to be able to stick?
I know! I have heard various rumors as to why exactly The Poison Room closed, but I have also heard that while the location is amazing, the rent for the building is insane. So with bad management and an insane price tag Im sure those two things were it's greatest demise.

Pretty much. the wormwood is what gives the "opiate" effect. Otherwise its just really bad tasting alcohol.

Is the fake absinthe just alcohol?
I had the real stuff years ago. It was made by the friend of a girlfriend. He was a kind of wizard alchemist. It was kind of opiate like.
