About

Sarah B. Bar d'Absinthe presents an immersive environment focused on the ritualistic preparation of historical botanical spirits. The menu centers on curated charcuterie boards featuring artisanal cured meats and aged cheeses paired with various olives and pickled vegetables. Small Mediterranean-inspired plates emphasize bold flavors and simple, high-quality ingredients sourced for their authentic profiles. Each dish serves as a deliberate accompaniment to the complex herbal notes characteristic of the core beverage offerings. The interior aesthetic relies on classic turn-of-the-century design elements, utilizing dim lighting and velvet textures to define the physical space. Patrons engage with a focused selection of tapas designed to complement the specific sensory profile of the drink program while maintaining a distinct, historically-rooted atmosphere within the venue.

A hidden gem inside the InterContinental!
Sarah B. is a super cozy, intimate absinthe bar with a fantastic atmosphere. The drinks are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, & their selection of absinthe is truly impressive. If you get hungry, you can conveniently order food right from the hotel's restaurant.
I highly recommend this warm & welcoming spot! Pro tip: if you are with a small group, definitely try to snag one of their two small private alcoves (the'provocative' salons). A perfect night out!

Friendly service from our server. Nice decor, basic jazz background music

The Côte d'Azur, Sarah la Divine, & Phocéen very nice cocktails. I don't recommend the gin Stratton that I felt was unbalanced.

the men's washroom had two bottles of lotion but no soap for some reason, like there were clearly empty holders where the soap should be. Our server passed on the issue quickly once signaled but I've never seen something so obviously wrong at a high end hotel.
