"Apothecary is one of Dallas’ new guard cocktail bars, employing centrifuges, liquid nitrogen, and pyrolysis to make avant-garde drinks in a sultry lounge setting. The creative bartenders pair DIY ingredients like sous vide green apple mezcal with scallop bottarga, and, somehow, it all works. The vibe is gothic Victorian, with beautiful (and possibly haunted) trinkets and art all over, gilded frames on the mirrors, and velvet cushions. There is free parking in a lot around the back. Reservations are highly recommended — when this small space fills up, you’re stuck waiting until someone leaves." - Courtney E. Smith, Kevin Gray
