# Apothecary-Inspired Cocktail Bars Sundry and Vice Bar Focuses on Simplicitic Craft Cocktails By Justin Lam | Published 2018-11-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundry-and-vice-bar References: [worldsbestbars](https://www.worldsbestbars.com/bar/cincinnati/center-36/sundry-and-vice/) & [sundryandvice](http://www.sundryandvice.com/) Recognized on the World's Best Bars list, Cincinatti's Sundry and Vice bar takes on the style of an old apothecary. Housed in a stylish red brick townhouse, the Sundry and Vice bar flips the script on what a watering hole should and can look like. The walls are lined with apothecary bottles, while the walls are lined with ancient prescriptions and alchemic recipes. These design elements are paired masterfully with [leather booths and bar stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wing-lei-bar), and the ambient glow of old-fashioned street lamps. The alchemic theme transcends the design of the bar and also comes into play on the [cocktail menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-dreams-cocktail-menu). Focusing on simplicity, the cocktails at Sundry and Vice bar contain only a handful of ingredients and include homemade syrups. The collection of drinks also take inspiration from [old-fashioned tinctures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapshot-of-the-time-menu) and alcoholic remedies of the past. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Apothecary-inspired Design:** Opportunity for businesses to create unique and immersive experiences by incorporating apothecary-inspired design elements. - **Craft Cocktails with Minimal Ingredients:** Opportunity for mixologists to innovate by creating cocktails with a small number of ingredients, focusing on simplicity and quality. - **Revival of Vintage Remedies:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the nostalgia of old-fashioned tinctures and remedies by incorporating them into their products or services. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels, bars, and restaurants to attract customers by creating apothecary-inspired spaces and offering craft cocktails. - **Mixology:** Opportunity for mixologists, bartenders, and beverage companies to create innovative and minimalistic craft cocktails. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for health and wellness brands to leverage the trend of vintage remedies to offer nostalgic and natural remedies for various ailments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Craft Cocktail Mixology Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-bar.md) - [Dual-Floor Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sip-guzzle.md) - [Moody Cocktail Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun.md) - [Poison-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist.md) - [Cocktail Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-collection.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deja-vu-cocktail-menu.md) - [Globally Inspired Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderlust-menu.md) - [Mediterranean-Inspired Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-bisou-bisou.md) - [Transformative Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-menu.md)
