Z Cuisine Is History



I went for a walk in Denver's Lower Highlands neighborhood this past Saturday afternoon, and was sad to see that Z Cuisine, and "absinthe bar," has closed it's doors, soon to be replaced by 3 or 4 townhouses.  I have never eaten (or drunk) there, but I liked the place because on the outside wall of the restaurant it featured black and white photographs of topless women and top-hatted men, as seen in the above collage. Hopefully they will keep those quirky photographs when the place is converted to town homes.  After all, it is quirky features such as those that makes the Lower Highlands such a fun place to visit. And as for the restaurant itself, I suspect it was impossible to keep a regular clientele.  Absinthe is supposed to be very harmful, and I imagine the regulars who didn't die after drinking there could not remember how to get back there, or for that matter, if they were ever there in the first place.  Such is life with absinthe.
