The Apotheke Bar, located in NYC's Chinatown, is the very first of its kind. The word "apotheke" means "drugstore" or "pharmacy," which is the theme of this whimsical restobar.
Considered more of an experience than a simple trendy hangout, the Apotheke Bar takes customers on a journey. From their mysterious location to the decor to the menu, the Apotheke Bar is definitely something new. The drink menu reads more like a prescription, with cocktails separated into medical themed sections like "painkillers" or "house remedies," each made of herb-brewed alcohols and exotic spices.
