Apotheke, New York

Apothèke is one of the many "speakeasy" type bars found throughout Manhattan, although this one is located on one of the most murderous alleys in the history of New York, Doyers Street. This hidden sanctuary located on this dark alley hidden in New York's Chinatown has charm galore, even though the drinks may be a bit on the high side. Housed in what was once a notorious opium den, the bar replicates an old-world apothecary, adorned as it is in marble proudly displaying antique medicine bottles, old-fashioned chemistry equipment and Austrian crystal glassware. This bar is manned by expert bartenders who sport white lab coats and dispense truly exotic alcoholic "prescriptions" (as they call them) like the Mata Hari, Femme Fatale and Dr. Ruth, which are created with the Apothèke's lethal house-blended absinthe and other bombastic elixirs.
