The Apothecary
A Lower Greenville cocktail lounge with two bars under one roof, Archive for classics and rare spirits and Alchemy for experimental drinks, plus a full dinner menu.
The Got Weekend take
Why go
Apothecary treats a cocktail list the way a serious kitchen treats its menu, and it splits the evening into two separate rooms. Archive is the easier first stop: a relaxed bar with a back wall of several hundred spirits, a considered wine list and cocktails focused on balance, technique and seasonal ingredients. It suits a well-made martini, a new whiskey or a bottle of wine with dinner. Alchemy is where the team gets adventurous, using unusual ingredients and modern techniques to build drinks that are playful and sometimes delightfully strange. The house suggestion is to eat and drink in Archive first, then get walked over to Alchemy for the rest of the night. Dinner comes from the same chefs behind neighboring Rye, with a seasonal menu built to pair with the drinks, and there is a happy hour menu too. The bar has been a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Bar and a Spirited Awards nominee. Reservations are recommended on Fridays and Saturdays; walk-ins have the best luck on weeknights, before 6:30 PM and on the patio.
