Apothecary Lounge

Goodness. This place is amazing! Hard to believe i was in ABQ. We arrived around 6ish and stayed inside till it cooled off a bit. We played cards and had a cocktail then headed out to watch the most spectacular sunset and city lights after. The service was outstanding! The food is mainly appetizers which was fine with me and all shareable! I highly recommend this place especially for out of town visitors The views were unparalleled. I was so impressed and happy. They have great cocktails too!

Attentive service, creative and peppy drinks, and an amazing view. These three ingredients plus you and your group equal a fun experience!!

I recommend checking out their happy hour! Prices are reasonable for a couple of drink options and snacks. I enjoyed my prickly pear margarita, and the red chile chips were a great little side. I went with friends on a weekday, and the weather was great with minimal crowding. Service was attentive, and the patio has the best views on these warm summer nights.

Wow! The view is great! Staff was friendly and seemed to want to look out for us. The girls are cute here, view of the city is great. Food was good and different. You can sit outside or inside. Try some signature margaritas while you are here.

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.

You could not ask for a better view! The couches are super comfy and it really adds to the experience. There is a 1.5hr time limit, to make sure they can keep the flow going, so plan appropriately. The specialty cocktail menu is great and I'm ready to get there during happy hour!They have a tapas menu, unfortunately, I wasn't able to try it, but will next time. Superb date night location (men take note)!

I love this spot because of the amazing view of the city and the colorful beauty of the New Mexico skies! Which is why, I decided to propose to my fiancé on this rooftop. The manager was easy to get ahold of and was a pleasure to work with. I reserved a big spot on the balcony, for 18 people! The waitress was lovely! We were all very thirsty, she remained pleasant and attentive of all of us. This place will hold a special place in my heart forever.... If you happen to come by around sunset, you'll see why! Amazing cocktails, attentive service and the best ambiance!

Great service. I didn't try the food. The ambiance and views are the best in Albuquerque! The cocktails were delicious and unique but my only critique is that the drinks weren't very strong. It wasn't only me but my entire party noticed that. This is a great place to visit and one of my favorite spots now

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.
