Did not have any food but have heard it’s really good!Parking: Not the locations fault but being in the byward market always presents a parking challenge!

Love this spot. The cocktails are outstanding, one of the coolest bars in Ottawa, the speakeasy vibes are amazing. The bartenders are amazing and create custom drinks which will impress! Don't miss out on this gem of a lounge in the ByWard Market. Their wine list and food are really good too!

It has a nice vibe and good drinks but the “focaccia” bread is not actually focaccia. Focaccia is supposed to be a thin bread and I was served a big fluffy loaf of bread. I was kind of disappointed.

We had an absolutely amazing experience here. The atmosphere was perfect, and there was obviously a lot of effort put into the decor which really elevated the experience. Our server (Juliette) was friendly, professional, and really added to our time there.We as a group all had the "dealers choice" cocktails , and the bartender (Robin) did a phenomenal job customizing the drinks to all our separate tastes. Our group all decided these were the best drinks we have ever had, and an amazing experience. The Ingredients they used for the drinks were unique, and felt artisan and curated. One member of our party was not drinking alcohol, and the bartender was able to create beautiful fun drinks for him too.We also had some light snacks, which did not disappoint. The bang bang shrimp was particularly delicious!We cannot wait to go back here and try different things. The menu included an extensive wine list, as well as some great looking food options.

We had dinner and drinks at Apothecary yesterday evening and it was wonderful. we loved the Octopus salad with bitter greens ... I requested a small amount of sweet dressing to enhance my meal and the chef obliged with a lovely quick made maple dressing. We also loved the beef shin ragu with a lamb shank. Delicious! The drinks and service was fabulous. Our thanks to the entire Friday night Apothecary team for a great night out. Great cocktails in a location with a great vibe!

got the Mortician cocktail and I wasn't really a fan! the smoke seemed a bit gimicky and didn't match the flavour profile of the drink which was a bit brighter and syrupy than I expected. It also just tasted a bit diluted and watery as well. Went with two others whose drinks I also didn't particularly enjoy.

Went for drinks and some fries. Love the atmosphere, very underground lounge / speakeasy. Went for jazz night and thought it was live music until 11pm but was only until 10pm (some weeks it's until 10pm some until 11pm), sadly the rest of the night wasn't jazz music to continue the vibe it was 00s alternative rock type of music, which honestly was dissapoitning after really enjoying the live musician and jazz music. The music wasn't bad it just didn't match the "jazz" night.But the place, drinks, staff, and fries were fantastic. Will definitely go back!

I came here for a birthday dinner for the speakeasy vibe, an awesome atmosphere if you want something different with a nice variety of curated cocktails. The service was fine, though a little slow even for being one of the first tables sat. I started off with the Old Crow cocktail, very good. My boyfriend and I shared the octopus salad and the lions mane steak. The lions mane steak was particularly delicious that we wished we had ordered our own! It was definitely an experience to have and try good food, I just wish they were a bit more attentive to our table.
