"Apotheke has two locations, the first of which opened in Chinatown in 2008. Both serve elaborate cocktails, but we prefer the newer one in Nomad because fewer people seem to know about it. The entrance on 26th Street is unmarked, although it isn’t hard to locate, because there’s usually a host out there who will say something like “Yes, this is Apotheke.” Located in a dark basement, the bar looks like a 19th-century apothecary populated by people who work in marketing, with some big booths and an elevator that leads to a penthouse with a serene, underrated terrace.
