Apotheke Chinatown

A narrow bend in Chinatown's Doyers Street hides this cocktail bar behind an old Chemist sign, with no other marker out front. Bartenders in white lab coats mix drinks grouped under names like Stress Relievers and Painkillers, finishing some with a torched garnish or a shot of flaming citrus oil. The room holds just a handful of small tables and banquettes, dim enough that reading the menu takes some effort. Live music runs Sunday through Thursday, shifting between jazz, brass and burlesque.
