I've been here a few times and I have to say this place makes the most well crafted and unique cocktails in Fort Lauderdale!! The flavors are complex and the ingredients are from all around the world. I really feel like the bar tenders care about crafting quality cocktails and you can taste it!!
Stopped in here due to speakeasy theme and the fact that they carry Pappy. The bartender chatted with me the entire time about Bourbons. I had an a great experience and will be back.
got there before 5 and wanted to sit at the bar, which did not open till 5, so we came back. glad we did as the pizza was great and the bar attached to the restaurant, Apothecary was awesome. Had my wine, which made me happy cause most places do not carry the sweet wines. Dominique was our bartender and she was so nice and pleasant. It was a nice change after having dealt with the nasty bartender at Township. We went here for dinner before a concert at Broward Center. Great location and great atmosphere at the bar. Would definitely visit it again if we are in the area, but fortunately we don't go there often. We stick to our home town of Delray Beach.
We stopped here with friends last Saturday afternoon.It’s a small cozy place with old stile wooden furniture and old looking pictures that remind you of a speakeasy: I really liked the décor!I just wanted a glass of wine (and you can actually have one free when you check in on Yelp) but after looking at their drinks menu, I changed my mind and decided to try one of their particular cocktails.I had The Mule and wasn’t impressed about it at the beginning: the drink had way too much crushed ice on the top and it tasted very watery. It turned out however, that they just had to stir it better: the more I drank, the stronger and better it became!The place is connected to an Italian restaurant, which will provide food, in case that you want to eat something with your drinks.The “downside” is that the bar is located close to downtown Ft. Lauderdale, so parking (not free anywhere) was difficult to find even on an early Saturday afternoon.The prices are average for South Florida.
This might be my new favorite bar for drinks. Extensive list backed up by knowledgeable bartenders who can and offer to make any drink possible. The smoked old fashion is incredible and so was the Sazerac. Lends itself more to whiskeys and bourbons and they have Blanton's, EH Taylor and more high end than I was expecting. Can't wait to come back
First time visiting this place , super cute ambiance, chill dark and cozy . The bartender was extremely nice they didn’t have what I wanted but she created her own drink that tasted amazing ! Ordered an appetizer was also delicious :)
The 3 stars are only because of the ambience. The food is just bad. Service is slow and not proffessional. The prices are crazy (!). 14$ for a glass of Cianti
Great lounge and hole in the wall atmosphere. Felt sophisticated but laid back. Drinks were reasonable ($10 upwards) and food was tasty. Cuisine was italian and had wood oven pizza. Customer service was good and friendly. Enjoyed the vibes and would go again. Recommended

I used to be a frequent customer of Apothecary primarily due to the amazing service and top notch bartenders/ cocktails. We recommended it quite a bit. My last visit right before the Covid shutdowns was quite lacking but we finally attempted to revive the old favorite to truly disastrous results. NEVER AGAIN!!! STAY AWAY!!! TLDR: the establishment is staffed with truly the worst service staff/ manager of all time and likely just discriminatory. We were in the area and came in around 10pm with a party of 5, 3 of who had never visited the restaurant before. It was quite busy so we found some space at the end of the bar and patiently waited to order while also scoping out for an empty table. As the bartender approached us after about 10minutes of arriving, part of our party was grabbing the just emptied table behind us, nothing was noticeably amiss. As soon as she saw us she freaked out, said she couldn't serve us because our party had vomited on the floor (what!?!?!) and immediately turned and refused to talk to us. You can imagine our extreme confusion after only being there for 10 minutes and no one in the party having been there in over 2 years and definitely no one having every vomited in this (or any) restaurant. We tried to follow up but she refused to speak to us. Understandably we asked for the manager to try and clarify what the heck was going on. The supposed manager came out and that's when things got even weirder, he just insisted he trusted his bartender (ok great, but can someone clarify what is actually even happening?). He became extremely belligerent, screaming at us as customers looked at the scene extremely confused. Finally, it escalated to the point that someone else (who claimed to be an owner, but maybe a chef?) emerged from the back because the manager was making such a scene. We actually asked if there were cameras so they could show us the issue, which was refused. At this point we had no intention of staying or ever returning but at least wanted an apology. We had moved outside and a nearby cop actually came over to see the issue. He sent away the "owner" and told us basically look, this place had a history of issues, they could discriminate as they see fit since it's a private business and make up any story they want and unfortunately, he couldn't help but suggested we leave social reviews and file with the BBB... so here are. STAY AWAY!!
