Apothecary

Oo def one of my favorite speakeasies in Dallas. Ive been a couple times and the service is always so good! They take really good care of you and last time i went they asked for what i liked and made me and my partner a custom drink based on our preferences!The vibes are super cozy and intimate - can get a bit loud at times but love their unique concepts and drink combos. I believe their menu changes from time to time so cant wait to come back and try more!

Having visited most of the A-tier bars and lounges around Dallas I'm really surprised Apothecary is so often mentioned. Due to my three main gripes below I'll probably not return and won't likely recommend. First, the pink couches that surround the lounge perimeter (40% of the seating) are slanted at such a sharp incline we felt like we were slipping off the entire time. Having sat in tons of lounges this excessive recline is unavoidable but at Apothecary it is for some reason intentional. The seating was not conducive for a relaxing second drink and made us want to leave asap. Second, the layout is just one large square room with some sloppy design elements like the dinky empty frames above the bar area and the plywood wall along the bar looks like a temporary concealment to broken window panes. While clearly intentional (or ironic?) it was a jarring, ugly aesthetic for such a central focal point, and incongruent to feeling cozy - bar vibe gives Home Depot.Third, playlist went from hokey Christmas song to Frank Ocean, back to Christmas, to Frank, Christmas, Frank, all night. It was annoying and the group next to us was also laughing at how bad it was. For a place to have a great vibe, music has to be on-point, not an afterthought or employee democracy. Pro side: friendly staff, expertly made drinks, nice price, and very easy/efficient Resys.

Stopped in for a quick bite and drinks recently and immediately fell in love with the themed decor and vibes of apothecary. I also appreciated the quick and friendly service.Food - I was not a fan of the oysters. I asked for broiled oysters but they were more raw than I anticipated and I did not like the garnish on them (5/10). If you order them as part of the happy hour menu, you can get 6 for 16. The plates we were a fan of: the meatballs (10/10), and the arancini caterpillar was another hit (9/10). We also liked the croquet but wouldn't recommend it given better things on the menu. The Yucatán steak (you can get it in tacos or as a plate) was delicious -- 100/10.Drinks - We started off with the Unbirthday Cake Fizz and the Empire Strikes Zwack. The Unbirthday Cake Fizz (8/10) was good. It reminded me of a morir soñando without the orange flavor in there. The Empire Strikes Zwack is good if you love old fashions. It had a hint of sweet but definitely bitter and strong. Because I prefer more sweet drinks I ordered the Only Fanz but exchanged the tequila for mezcal and it was phenomenal -- 100/10! Another drink that was so much better with mezcal was the Horse Play - another 10/10!

Apothecary gives moody, speakeasy-style vibes that the stage for an adventurous drink menu, with everything from classic favorites to bold, unexpected flavors. If you're into unique drinks and a cool atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out--just make a reservation, because it fills up fast and seating is super limited!

This place is a bit tricky to find--it's located to the left of Rye and doesn't have prominent signs, so it took us a minute to spot it. Once inside, the ambiance is dark and moody with a luxe vibe. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable. The cocktail menu is unique, with drinks that are not only creative but also really delicious. The food menu also looks promising, and I'm definitely planning to come back to try it. Highly recommend for a cozy, upscale night out!

This little place was recommended by a friend, and I love the spooky luxe vibe. The drinks all have a theatrical flair, and it was just such a fun experience.

Apothecary is a fun and unique spot within the Dallas cocktail scene.- Atmosphere: Apothecary is behind an unmarked door next to their sister restaurant, Rye. There are curtains when you walk in so the bar keeps its dark vibe. There are a small number of lounge tables and a small bar. On my last visit I went on a week night without a reservation, but a reservation is typically recommended.- Service: The staff at Apothecary puts together creative menus with plenty of options. They are helpful when I'm deciding what drink is more up my alley.- Food / Drinks: I've never eaten at Apothecary, but they have a small food menu, which if it's anything like the food at Rye, it's worth ordering. I love the creativity of their drink menu. Rye is the first place I tried a savory cocktail, which was cacio e pepe flavored. Don't be afraid to get outside your comfort zone and try something different!- Value: A visit to Apothecary is not cheap. Expect to spend $15-$20 on most drinks, but they will be high quality and unlike a drink you'll get anywhere else. To cut down on your bill, visit during happy hour Sunday through Thursday from 5-6:30 pm for $10 select cocktails and $8 select shots.

As soon as we arrived, I could tell by the small details outside that it was going to be an Alice in Wonderland themed bar. As soon as we stepped inside, my theory was confirmed. The decor itself is cute and whimsical, from the furniture hanging upside down from the ceiling to the movie posters in multiple languages.The menu was a storybook, which was really cool. I had the Unbirthday Cake Fizz and I was shocked that it tasted just like drinking a liquid birthday cake. This is my favorite flavor, but it can be done so poorly so I was nervous when I ordered it.I think we came on a busy night because service was funny and friendly, but really busy. We didn't try any food while we were there, but their menu did look interesting. Overall, definitely a fun place to check out!

Service and ambience is spot on, love the fact that you go into a bar and still have a conversation with your companions. Shout out bartenders ... I forget the guys name with the big beard but he made our night extra cool with his amazing hospitality.

I've been wanting to come here for a long time and finally made it to Apothecary last night for a friend's birthday gathering. This is a speakeasy next door to Rye. It's very small and intimate with a very cool ambiance that would be great for a girls night or a date.The drinks are really good and creative. There are a lot of savory ingredients in many of the signature cocktails. One of the cocktails had garlic and thyme in it while another had beets and blue cheese. I had the Pekin Tom (peach smoked old fashioned) and a Manhattan. Both drinks were really good! The drinks here range between $14 and $20 so keep that in mind. Although Apothecary has some food offerings, its primary focus is on the drinks. Many of the dishes are small bites. We had the chicken tacos, funnel cake fries, and the meatballs. The fries were strange and didn't taste at all like fries and more like snake-like hushpuppies. The tacos were meh, granted I put the spicy sauce on the side. However, the meatballs were excellent. They were a tangy, Asian flavor, which was unexpected, and very tender.Our waiter was really funny and friendly, and was very patient with us as we made our drink choices. I'd definitely come back and I definitely recommend Apothecary. It's a very unique and nice spot!
