We went to the :Apotheke NoMad Penthouse. The place is really nice and you have a nice view of the Empire State building. The staff is really nice.The Fire Inside was a good drink (if you like Mezcal and some spice). In general the group liked the drinks but they did not love them.The music (nice music) was a little loud considering basically you go for drinks and talk (I could be wrong).

Lovely spot with a great view of the Empire State Building. Cocktails were good but I have a feeling the speakeasy might be better, similar to their Chinatown location. Service was smooth and attentive. Good and cozy vibes overall.

Great place to chill. Even on Saturday evening, its not packed. The only thing was its kind of too dark for my preference.The cocktail is great ❤️I wish they had more options.FYI $24 (tax included) for a cocktail.

Loved it!We chose the rooftop seating over the basement bar. There are two options.Drinks: The drinks have a lot going on but the flavors work very well together. You can taste each ingredient layered within the drinks.The Vibe: Great outdoor patio with a partial view of the city. The DJ created a mix that catered to the diversity of the crowd.What we ordered:- Come Morning- Great Inclination (I think???)

This is a nice little bar in a lower setting. Great booth seating with large booth seating. It would be amazingly better if they had some curtains, dropping from the ceiling to separate some of the booths for a little more romantic private experience. The service is good Sit down at the table. It was pretty easy to get a drink at the bar. One of the drinks I had was supposed to have saffron in it I didn’t really taste any saffron at all. The drink was average flavor. The Miskell drinks were amazing except for it would’ve been extra nice if the salt rim had some chili or smoked paprika, mixed in with it For added flavor. I love the fact this is a speakeasy, which makes it a little more difficult to find. Sometimes it’s hard to get your own booth, but standing spaces pretty readily available without any long line. The music was great. The bar is exceptional looking Some kind of semi clear stone with a light underneath it. I like the atmosphere and the bartenders of this place I will be back. It’s fun.

Very nice bar, love the atmosphere and the drinks. Among the Sunbathers was my favorite drink very sweet and citrusy! Also tried the Almost grown which tasted like a black raspberry & chocolate milkshake!Nice and friendly staff. Great way to spend your Saturday nigh, would definitely recommend if you like good vibes and a chill drink.

After enjoying the original in Chinatown for years, and attending their cocktail academy classes, we were excited when the new offshoot opened in our neighborhood. We were able to get reservations in the speakeasy portion of the bar on a Friday evening, and were seated at a low table in view of the bar. Like the original, the menu follows the theme of elixirs, tonics, etc. and offers creative combinations of flavors and ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the Pell Approach and All That Gas. Given the size of this location, it lacks some of the intimate and authentic feel of the original, and definitely attracts a younger crowd.

Really liked the vibe and decor of the speakeasy and what they were trying to achieve but execution pretty poor. Drinks were average at best, one so bad we had to send back and very expensive for what you get. Host not great, only positive was our server who was lovely

Apotheke Nomad is excellent! The drinks are strong and perfectly crafted, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the complimentary shots were a wonderful surprise. The highlight of the evening was definitely the visit to the penthouse—wow! Highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable night out.

Review №16

I had great time with my friend over a couple of cocktails in this fine establishment. We made a reservation so luckily we had a table as the bar has only standing space and it got quite cowded after 8pm. They also have an upstairs floor and a rooftop which were closed.The cocktail list is like a drug store menu, so we started with Beauty concoctions and proceeded with Pain killers. I loved the Voyage in the Blue - with spirulina gin and collagen. The Among the Sunbathers with pisco sour was too sweet for my taste. But Walk in the Dawn was amazing, with a subtle touch of Wasabi.One star off for not having prices in the menu. All our cocktails were $20-22. The service was great though.

I have enjoyed a few nights in the speakeasy and love the vibe. The drinks are perfect and innovative. I decided to try the rooftop with a friend. (If you come, you need a reservation 9/10 to get a seat. Otherwise you will have to awkwardly stand.) The gentlemen that escorted us up via the elevator would not stop looking at us. Even when we sat down, they were oddly hovering over us. No idea what that was about. Everything was okay until we had to pay. I asked the waitress to bring us a printed receipt. She complied. I then asked for change for a $20 so I could leave the bill and tip in cash. She suddenly got an attitude with me and asked if I had more money because the bill was not $20. I said yes, kind of dumbfounded by her response. She comes back with change for a $20, and I have larger bills out on the table, but she continued to stare me down until I paid like I was some sort of inept thief. She walked away with the PAID bill and tip muttering how confusing this was. She did not deserve a 20% tip but she got one anyway despite her terrible service. This was an unfortunate experience. I might just stick to the speakeasy moving forward.

Review №19

Terrible scam! Party of 4 has a 20% Gratuity automatically included, and the server does not tell you about it.1.5 hour maximum seating time but it takes them 40+ minutes to serve the first round of drinks.Hostesses are dismissive and do not take your requests seriously, such as it being too hot and asking to turn down of AC.Wanted to give less gratuity, but having a 20% gratuity included for a 4 person party is absolutely ridiculous. Especially for the subpar and slow service.

Review №20

Very disappointing - refused to serve us food although our reservation was an hour earlier than their kitchen closing time. We had a reservation for 11pm but they didn’t seat until 11:30. In the meantime we were able to order drinks at the bar. By the time we sat down and the waitress came to take our order it was 11:33 and she informed us that we could no longer order food because the kitchen had closed at 11:30. This despite the fact that their menu says the kitchen is open till midnight on Saturday. We finished our drinks from the bar and left.

First call out this place is really hard to find. Which could be a cool thing, but just make sure that you are paying attention as you’re walking down the street because you can easily miss it.Lovely door person. The bar was ok.My fiancé had a great time, so I’m sure will be back. However, we both agreed would rather go back to the downtown location.Also, you may want to wait a few more weeks for the rooftop bar to open.

I chose this for the rooftop and it didn’t disappoint. The lower room is nice too and I love the backlit stone bar. Good menu and a bartender who will make whatever you like. A bit expensive but that’s the NYC price, it offers a unique view on the boulevard below, guarded by the Empire State Building.

Was doing recon for an upcoming gathering of friends. We encountered Alejandra who was ever-so-gracious and helpful-- she immediately introduced us to Tuan who spent a great deal of time showing us the terrace and speak easy areas. He answered every question and kept checking on us -- he is clearly an asset to the organization and the consummate professional. Cosmo was quite knowledgeable in beverages and went above and beyond to provide a great experience. And then theres the view.

This is the second location of the infamous cocktail bar in Chinatown. Had made a reservation but were able to wait by the bar until they were ready. Great cocktail selection and unique ingredients (Absinthe, etc). Also had some non alcoholic options with home made tonics and bitters. Overall great space to take friends from out of town for a few cocktails. They mentioned a rooftop opening in October, so will travel back then.Location - 7Service - 8Quality - 9Ambiance - 9

Really nicely decorated bar with speakeasy vibes. Welcoming hostess was very friendly, we didn’t have a reservation on a Friday night & the place was quite busy. Our group had a few unusual cocktail orders and the bartender made them well. Comfy chairs too! $21-$23 per cocktail.

I have not dined here but I brought a friend here for birthday drinks on their rooftop and had a wonderful experience. The only thing that could make it even better would be some ambient music outside.Other than that the location and decor is lovely. The staff went out of their way to ensure that my guest felt acknowledged for their birthday. They even created a custom birthday drink that was awesome. Special shout out to Steven, Maggie and Charlie for creating such a unique birthday surprise for us that night!

We are visiting from Ohio and absolutely loved this place! By far the best bar weve been to all trip. Our drinks were amazing, the view from the rooftop was beautiful, and our waitress Charlie was so friendly! She went above and beyond to take good care of us. We even got a free shot in celebration of our recent engagement. Cant rave about this place enough. Thank you for such a great experience! We will definitely be back next time we are in NY!

Review №38

Went to Apotheke for a cocktail class with my fiancee.The class is hosted in a classy, sunlit bar with warm vibes on the upper floor of a hotel.The class was two hours long and piqued my interest because it focused on using fresh fruits and high quality house-made syrups/infused liquors. We used interesting ingredients like habanero, chile de arbol, cardamom (+more) to craft four unique cocktails that the bartender came up with on the spot after he learned our preferences.Drinks we made (from left to right):1. Tomatillo/Chile de Arbol Mezcal (green)2. Raspberry/Blackberry Cardamom Vodka (red)3. Clementine Shrub/Kummel/Gin (yellow)4. Spirit-forward whiskey OR reposado tequila (not pictured)The instructor was fantastic and the drinks were amazing. I learned a lot about the basics of creating cocktails— it is well worth it. I’ll be back to try out more of their drinks.

Inaccurately labeled as “Floor 1” of Sounder Flatiron. Entrance is next door. It is in a dimly lit lower level basement/cellar with no windows. Friends enjoyed the fancy cocktails. They do not list whiskey options or clearly show prices on the menu. There was only 1 beer option for $13. Not worth it in my opinion considering the other options around

We were able to get in late on a Saturday night (group of 3 girls) without a wait and with no reservation for a table—we were told at the door that we would be in the standing space for the bar only. The standing room at the bar was pretty crowded given the space, but there wasn’t a long wait to order drinks. Given the specialty nature of the cocktails, it did take a while to get our drinks. The cocktails were good, but not outstanding given the price.The space and music were great. Definitely worth the experience for a cocktail, but I wouldn’t have had more than just one.

I live right by the Chinatown Apotheke but had never been to the NoMad location. My girlfriend and I had a really bad day of striking out everywhere we went. We relayed a short(hopefully) summary to the hostess on the elevator ride up and when we were being shown to our table she relayed that to our server(Chloe who was the best(and still is, she was my server again)) and the bartender who both took excellent care of us.Ill be coming back again for sure and will also be letting others know to come here as well.

Decent ambiance and good music. But oh my god, the service leaves a lot to be desired. It almost felt like the bar tenders were doing me a favour anytime I went to order drinks for a group of 3. Lack of professionalism or even courtesy for that matter. It’s criminal to call yourself a cocktail bar, and have this kind of service.Wouldn’t visit again (:

Review №52

Spacious, but not many seats, at least not available ones. We walked in pretty early in the night and all empty seats had reserved signs. There are also no stools at the bar, which makes it hard for people to stay for more than one or two drinks. The reserved seats were all empty until we left the bar. The cocktails were strong but decent.

This is a speakeasy by name its a dark bar with great drinks. Our server( Jen ) was very knowledgeable and recommended the drinks we were looking for. The coffee and cigarettes was my favorite but I believe the name of the other drink we had was the angels grave was yummy as well. If you want the speakeasy feel go down stairs but dont be afraid to go upstairs (even in the cold weather) both places are great.

TIP: NOMA location allows you to make reservations in advance. we did not know this so stood at the bar the entire time.Drinks were very good here as well as the atmosphere. The bartenders and hostess were very attentive to our group. However, it definitely smelled a little stuffy / funky here when we visited (which is our only complaint). There is also an upstairs area where you can go too - our group didn’t have time to check it out.

Made a reservation from 9:15-11:15pm aware that there is a 2h slot. At 10:40 we were brought the bill and were rudely told to leave since there was another reservation at 11, although we still had drinks. We told them that our 2h slots expires at 11:15 since the reservation was from 9:15 to 11:15. After that the hostess came aggressively and told us we have to leave and that we came at 9, which is not true. We paid the bill and were leaving. When we were exiting the bar I was expecting people to be waiting outside to enter since we were rushed from the table. There was no one outside it was around 11;05, I made a comment to my friends “wow so many people waiting for their table” the same hostess yelled “get over it, if you don’t like the bar you don’t ever have to come back there are so many bars around”. I was shocked how rude she is and the audacity to yell at me a customer…I was taken aback by the whole encounter and told her that she is being rude and it’s not a way to treat a customer. She kept on ranting how I need to get over it and that there are reservations. Super disrespectful and it ruined my night. Great atmosphere and drinks, our server was amazing but the hostess ruined everything. Would never come here again.

Review №68

Staff were unfriendly and drinks were meh. Any request made seemed like we were the biggest inconvenience to the staff. 7$ a person fee to cut up a cake but not enough seats for our whole party to even sit. It wreaked of garbage every few minutes which I assume the server was trying to mask by lighting palo santo. Skip this place t there are so many better bars than this garbage.

Review №69

A more quiet offshoot of Apothke in Chinatown. This location had more tables / seating, an extensive menu of cocktails with quirky ingredients, wine, champagne, and basic small plates. Menu prices for drinks were not listed. Table reservations were limited to just under two hours. The music was American / Bossa Nova, the noise level was ok for a Friday evening, and the vibe was semi-informal.

Review №70

Left my glasses here. Sent an email to their restaurant (as there is unfortunately no convenient way to call and speak to an employee at Apotheke). I received an email telling me that my glasses were found. When I returned to the restaurant to retrieve my glasses, I was told by their manager that they were not there. I wasted money on Ubers getting there and back and also wasted 30 minutes of my time there only to be told that there was miscommunication from their lost and found department. I was not given any kind of restaurant credit or gift card in return for the poor communication from their end. Very poor service.

Came on 8/30/24 night. Rude staff and bartender. Ordered a mocktail and it didn’t include a straw. I asked for a straw a the bartender said this type of drink doesn’t include a straw and I had to explain it’s so hard to drink with all these ice without smudging my lipstick blah blahh. I thought to myself I came here to enjoy the night and they made it so unpleasant and inconvenient. Finally he gave an attitude, pour the drink to a different glass?! and gave me a straw… I don’t understand! Then hosted had told us in the beginning that wait time for a table is 20mins, but after that she said another 30mins but a few tables were empty. The rooftop was nice I won’t be coming back

Espresso Martini was the bomb here ! New spot in Nomad. Make sure you book reservations in advance because you may have to wait in line for a while.

Love this cocktail bar. There’s a cozy downstairs and roof top (covered when it’s cold and open when it’s warm/in the summer). Cocktails are solid and lovely.Service on the roof was also surprisingly really friendly and approachable. Great cocktail bar for the area.

I love the drinks and the service. The Scarlet Dance and Clouda of Gold are my drinks of choice. Very delicious cocktails.Though it’s great that they have live music especially Cuban music which I love so much, I find it poor that they place the musicians in such a dark corner of the room in front of an elevator. I think they could do better to at least set a good lighting for the bandstand or locate them near the bar where there’s more light.

I do prefer the atmosphere of Apotheke Chinatown but this one was nice as well especially in term of welcoming.Drinks were amazing as always. We have been well welcomed and even though the place was full the lady at the front did her best to give us a table and we ended up getting one (we were a big group).Thanks.

Beautiful bar, but it was the worst service we had in NYC. Doorman said nothing. Hostess wasnt anywhere to be found. When we did find her, she was curt. Service was perfunctory. We had to request water on several occasions. Cocktails were good, but not great. I wouldnt go out of your way to come here, as we did. Live music saved the night.

Great place for drinks. Friendly staff and service. I accidentally blew out our table candle. And great guy brought over a replacement. A lot of the cocktails can be made as mocktails. Thats always a pro in my book.

Review №141

I dont like to leave poor reviews. I just dont feel this place is worth it. I liked the music and decor, but the staff wasnt friendly and the drinks were not worth the price. We paid $22-$24 per drinks - my party of 5 - we tried 5 drinks, and no one thought their drink was remarkable, and therefore worth it at all.We know many places that serve $16-$18 cocktails that are superior. So either this Apotheke needs to step up the quality or lower the prices. :/

This place is a hidden gem in NoMadThe vibes were giving a classic atmosphere.The drinks were unique and very tasty !I tried Peel Approach and Voyage in Blue and there were awesome!They have live Jazz music playing which is really cool. The tables were all reserved when we got there on Tuesday night .Highly recommend you book the table ahead if you wish to spend time there .

Review №148

Nice slick speak easy style bar, a nondescript exterior, to a basement bar sells the feeling. Every drink on the menu I tried had a great taste and a great holistic connection. I have recommend the Among the Sunbathers, it was a sweet melon cocktail that taste fresh and creamy. The staff was personable, knowledgeable, and just over all welcoming. Id say pop in have a drink or two, and have a mellow time.

Drinks were ok - too sweet for my taste. The servers were very rushy - speakeasy should be a chill and chatty environment but the servers were asking multiple times for another rounds interrupted conversations. Very uncomfortable and will not visit again

Amazing! We did a private event and it was fantastic. The entire staff went above and beyond to make the night special. Thanks to Jackie, Andre, Jenna, Max and the bartender (who I believe was named Art). Our guests had a great time, drinks and food were great, and every part of the planning process was smooth. The location and design are also fantastic and everyone commented on the space and view. Dont sleep on Apotheke NoMad!

The service was great but it had a weird smell (musty and gross) and the vibe made you feel like you were in some sort of basement lobby. The food menu was also very limited (but the grilled cheese was great) and not at all what I’d expect from a place that says they have Tapas.

Review №154

The drinks were really good, and it’s nice that this location has food. the seating is definitely odd though which is why only 4 stars. it’s a lot of big couches with tables in front and floor cushions on the other side, which kind of makes any seating arrangement feel like an interview. not great for dates because of this, even though the lighting is perfect.

Boyfriend and I decided to visit on a Saturday night.The vibe they portray online; upscale & somewhat luxe, is far from what the vibe is like in reality. We had a reservation and were seated at the penthouse. Upon entry, going through the speakeasy area it smelled HORRIBLE. Awful, gross, sweaty and musty. It did smell better once we got upstairs but it didnt help that they dont actually reserve the tables; any empty table is a free for all for people without reservations at the bar...someone was in our seat so we had to wait 5 minutes for the waitress to kick out the people who sat at our table and clean up. The demographic of people is also very strange, a lot of tourists and college bar ish...even though online they mention to dress nicely (think girls in jeans, sneakers, and trashy too loud music) basically telling me that this place is not exclusive and they just let anybody off the street in; making it crowded and loud, completely ruining the ambiance. We were planning on staying a while but after ordering one round of drinks we got the check and couldnt wait to leave. Our waitress was kind-but between the smell, the broken leg on my boyfriends chair, and the overcrowded bar, we will not be returning.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no

Very rude hostess. We were standing and waiting for our Ubers home in the vestibule and they told us “I’m going to give you guys one minute to go in our get out.” Extremely overpriced and music was very loud and club-like for a quaint speakeasy. Would not recommend.

For all the very long drink descriptions with unique ingredients called out, we had very high expectations. In the end, drinks were flat and average. Drinks at the $22+ price point need to be great. Space is beautiful but seating is awkward for smaller parties.

I recommend, I would return on all my visits to NY.Great bar, good concept, cool atmosphere, very good drinks, variety, good experience.The place is nice, we ordered a clouds of gold 8.5/10, an after today 9/10 and an almost grown 8.5/10The atmosphere is people between 25-35, it is a good place to go with friends or a partner, the service is very fast and efficient. We went on a Saturday, we arrived around 8:30 and there were already people, around 10:30 it started to fill up. I recommend booking if you want to be at a table, because it gets crowded and there are no benches at the bar.
