The original Apothéke opened in 2008 inside a former opium den on Doyers Street, the crooked lane at the heart of Chinatown, and turned the apothecary counter into a cocktail format New York has been borrowing ever since. Bartenders in lab coats mix botanical prescriptions organized by therapeutic category, from stress relievers to euphorics, built on fresh herbs and house tinctures. Named among the best speakeasies in the US by Architectural Digest. Open seven days from 6:30 PM, first come, first served.
