The Apothecary at Brent's Drugs Reviews
Loved this hidden back door bar! Came with a group of friends around the holidays for their Christmas pop up and they had the cutest drinks I've ever seen They're all very inventive with lots of different options. Some may have a little TOO much going on but I still enjoyed both drinks that I tried. Bartenders were friendly as well Id recommend getting there earlier if you want to get a table as it was getting crowded by the time we left.
What a cool spot & definitely worth checking out for a cocktail. You walk through an old diner & enter into the speakeasy that's an old drug store theme. The decor was done well & it had a great vibe. Service was just okay but drinks were incredible. It's very pricey & be mindful they add 18% gratuity regardless of how many people are in your party. Be careful so you don't double tip like we did.
For general coolness, this place is worth a try. A great little bar hidden behind a vintage drug store with a creative bartender? Sign me up!
This is like the fallback spot if other bars are full or if you don't necessarily want to be around a lot of ppl. We chose the latter tonight. There was only one bar tender and she was a bit slow but picked up her speed as it became busier. The drinks are pretty good. If it's a strong, bitter, or sweet drink that's exactly what you're going to get. Didn't get to taste the food bc we were 8 mins past happy hour, oh well. Service can be better but then again it's automatic gratuity, so is what it is.
Came here while in town on business and thoroughly enjoyed my time. It's literally set up in the back of a restaurant, so you feel like you're going to a super secret place. The drinks were so good and the fries were just what I needed at that moment. Our bartender was really cool and helped me decide on a mixed drink. I liked the decor and the vibe. I thought the restaurant out front was cute too. It had a 50s vibe with its decor. The Apothecary is not a big space, but you felt like you were the only ones there while enjoying your drinks. It was a fun night and I'd go back.
