I was there during a solo business trip, so I was dining alone. It was trivia night and I sat at the bar. The trivia made it easy for me to interact with other patrons and the atmosphere was fun. The food was mid - I had sliders and guacamole with corn that was more like corn with guacamole. They have several specialty drinks and mine was delicious. The other people at the bar tried a couple other drinks and everyone was raving about them so they must have been great. The service was quick and being at the bar reasonably attentive.

Great location. The outdoor rooftop deck has fabulous ambiance and prime view of sunsets and nighttime view of downtown and beyond. The menu is reasonable and has an array of offerings but the indoor bar and lounge layout is so confusing. It looks like part storage space and old 90s furniture for an office. It hints at ambiance and delivers something else. Needs an upgrade, even in the lobby on the way up. Strange tile covering the walls that isn't unified with the space. I wasn't there long enough to comment on service but it was adequate. It has potential, though.

This is not a place to go if you have more than 2 people total. I have been to this place a couple of times. I took a group of 10 here to enjoy the rooftop view of the sunset. Our plan was cocktails and snacks. The hostess sat all couples as they entered, but not us. She placed us in a nook off to the side. She kept telling me that she had a spot saved for us that would be available after one hour. We waited 2 hours with no results. The hostess said she allowed a couple to sit in the spot reserved for 10. The bar allegedly follows seating rules for the outside. I can tell you the "rules" are not enforced. Do not buy into their schtick. One rule is seating outside is limited to 1.5 hours. Bull! They do not enforce this. I complained to the manager, who said "So what ..." Clearly, the place is focused on couples only. Management knows they have a valuable view and does not care how guests are treated. We left and moved to the pizza place down the street where they welcomed my party even though the place was packed. Food was great. Service excellent. I will not return to Apothecary.

The views are beautiful, the staff is attentive and they were prompt with providing seating arrangements when our area heater gave out. Didn't try food but the drinks were great.

My best friend and I meet every year before Christmas at the apothecary. Our jobs bring us here often. All I'm going to say is Nora is the most amazing host if you are into the world of bourbon connoisseur. She is the best by far. From Pappy to Basil to Weller she knows her bourbon. Always a great host. Thank you Nora for three years of a great tradition! Can't wait for year 4. You always send us to a Merry Christmas. Ryan and Derek.

Stopped in for a bite and a couple of drinks. Sat outside, where it was quiet. The heaters kept the chill away, but not too much. The food was amazing. Especially the green chile sliders. The drinks were good, but a little too much ice in mine. The waiter was busy but pretty attentive. This is a nice rooftop bar if you're looking for a change of pace.
