Apothecary

"If a benevolent mad scientist just wanted to serve cocktails and make people happy, they’d open Apothecary. It’s part laboratory, part Victorian-era high-society lounge, where people gather to sip creative drinks from the same guys as Rye next door. The bartenders know their way around a centrifuge and sous vide, clarifying citrus and making flavorful infusions for cuisine-inspired drinks, like a chicken piccata riff featuring chicken bouillon gin and green peppercorn vermouth. It’s rich but surprisingly balanced thanks to charred lemon and briny caper tincture, so go ahead and drink your dinner." - Kevin Gray

"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

"A high-end bar longlisted in the Outstanding Bar category, from the group behind Rye. Its bar manager Julian Shaffer received the Michelin Guide’s Exceptional Cocktail Award." - Courtney E. Smith

"The speakeasy-style bar on Lower Greenville, from the owners of Rye, is always packed. The small room is a fun time with wild cocktails." - Courtney E. Smith
