From self-proclaimed "bar chef/apotheker" Albert Trummer (and partners Heather and Christopher Tierney, of Burger Shoppe) comes Apothéke, a bar inspired by 19th-century Parisian absinthe dens and dedicated to the art of the culinary cocktail, where more than 250 drinks are “prescribed” to address a variety of concerns—from beauty to libido to flagging vitality. A mini chemistry lab (ahem, apothecary) of booze-related beakers and burners, rare herbs, and elaborate recipes are set up in a marble-lined Austrian-opera-house atmosphere to cure what ails you. All of which is bathed in a mysterious and specially concocted “transporting” scent. Drink to your health, hopefully.
