Apotheke Chinatown on Postcard

"Much like the New York City original, the L.A. outpost of Apotheke, a tucked-away Chinatown bar, exudes opulence and sexiness. The space includes an eclectic, globally themed outdoor oasis that—unlike the East Coast location—Angelenos can enjoy (almost) year-round. The botanically infused cocktail menu is divided into sections: Aphrodisiacs, Euphoric Enhancers, Health & Beauty, and Stimulants. All of the drinks here are made with the sorcery and precision of an old world pharmacist." - Krista Simmons, Hugh Garvey

"It’s sort of in the same genre as super trendy, very popular cocktail bar on the same street Apotheke, which has a pharmacy and chemistry theme and divides its cocktails by its holistic benefits." - Serena Dai

"If the name Apotheke sounds familiar, you might know it as the speakeasy/jazz bar your friends took you to in NYC. Update: There’s one in LA now. Much like the NYC original, all the cocktails at this Chinatown bar are apothecary/medicinal-themed, and fantastic enough to soften the blow of the $16 price point. The interior is fairly small, but there’s a big patio in the back with its own bar that we predict everyone will be drinking at by summer. Or next weekend. Go now before the line’s down the block." - Brant Cox

The concept of the place is spot on. The decoration, the uniforms, the menu all in theme. Cocktails were good, music was good too but the place was so full that you don’t get to experience the making of the cocktail which I think is cool for a specialized cocktail bar. All in all it’s a good place, recommendation if you want to sit, get early because every time I’ve been it’s packed.

Great place. Dark speakeasy, had a live band playing "spooky" sounding music. Cocktails were outstanding! You could taste all ingredients, and they paired very well! We had the "Aniki" (green drink) and "Wartime Consigliere"

Drinks are awesome, I travel from Morristown NJ for this place. The area it’s in is great, tons of places to eat after. The bar is super unique with tons of history behind it. It actually used to be an old opium den. But the drinks are very good, very unique and i’m always happy coming here.

Went to this bar on a whim and found a hidden jewel. Drinks are made by people dressed as mad scientists and the drinks definitely live up to the dress code. Each one has its own unique concoction that does not disappoint. Music is mixed and enjoyable for a good two step after hours. Crowd is diverse which is always a good thing for first timers from any culture to feel welcomed. Definitely want to revisit.

A perfect “speakeasy” for a date night. The location is dark and sexy, and you can tell that the people working there enjoyed what they do, whether that be helping people or making amazing cocktails. The price for a drink is a little steep, and the seating is extremely limited. Other than that, I enjoyed my time.

This place is vibes! They sometimes have live music and it’s always classy! The ambience, music and cocktail will put you in a different universe.

My favorite cocktail bar in NYC ( And LA ) . The drinks are always amazing (and creative ). The way their system works to where you aren't waiting long for your drink. From the decor/vibe , music , drinks .. They all flow . Do yourself a favor and add this to your bucket list. It's an absolute must

We really wanted to check out a place with fancy cocktails. We came here after having some food and each had two. I wish I could have had more but you know.. alcohol. Their old fashioned is pretty stiff! I try it everywhere because I love them. There are definitely places that make it sweeter.. that's great. The ambience is pretty low light and chill. There is limited seating.
