I ordered an espresso martini because I had read they serve one of the best in NOLA but it was made with cold brew so that was a huge disappointment. We grabbed two stools at the bar and hung out for a few hours. There was a jazz band playing - Marty Peters and the Party Meters and they were FANTASTIC. They really kept the crowd entertained.

It's great to sit in and enjoy the ambience. The drinks we had were just OK. The bartender that was waiting on us was not very helpful. I asked for a couple recommendations and she didn't have much to say other than she didn't like any of those and she liked red wine. That was really offputting and not helpful at all even if that's true she could have been more helpful to try and tell me what drinks she would suggest or what is most popular.

We made our reservations two weeks prior to our visit, since I believe that's the earliest you are able to. We were in line not long before they opened the doors. We had purchased front row seats and that was a wonderful treat! Being in that intimate setting to see and hear the incredible music performed is such a magical experience.

What you will notice is the thing that is most exciting about this place isn't the ghost stories, not the drinks, not the staff, but it is the bathroom door. Yep, the bathroom door. Here it is, and it looks like a bookshelf. You can see about the 3rd row down, there is a space where you can see a stick figure sideways, and that is the handle to the bathroom. Pretty cute. Had to use the bathroom here and it was a wrap and on to the next spot. Of course we tried the drinks, but it was a pretty basic bar, so nothing more to brag about there.

Couple of slot machines in the corner and dammit if you can't take all your drinks to go walk around New Orleans with a drink in your hand nothing like Tampa that's for sure. I think I saw a pool table and there were some regulars in there it's a cool vibe, but I definitely go there if you're looking for some cheap drinks ' cause everywhere else else is tourist as fuck.

The Apothecary was the cure. We grabbed seats mid bar and before we even finished settling in, there were waters waiting on the bar. That simple move already separated this place from the chaos outside. It's hospitality in its cleanest form: welcome in, take a breath, we got you. Inside is low light and old time apothecary mood, menus like a spellbook, but it's not gimmicky. The bartenders move like they've done the reps. Calm. Precise. No frantic showboating, no syrupy cover ups, no sloppy pours even with the parade energy banging on the door. We ordered two and they were both dead on. Alchemist Elixir: pea flower gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon. It shows up pale violet with an orchid on the rim and yes it's pretty, but it's also disciplined. Floral without tasting like perfume. Bright without being sour. A drink that makes you slow down. Plus a magic chemists surprise. Corpse Reviver #2: local gin, Lillet Blanc, Grand Marnier, absinthe, fresh lemon. Cold, crisp, citrus first, then the herbal edge and just enough absinthe to remind you what city you're in. Served in a textured coupe with a cherry skewer, details handled like they actually matter. Outside, the streets were selling amnesia in plastic souvenir cups. Inside, The Apothecary was serving adults. Let Bourbon Street keep the grenades. Give me the anecdote .

Oysters came out super warm on a thin bed of rock salt. Unfortunately we sent them back and we neeeeever send back a plate. Next round came out and tbh they were just off. Not properly cleaned, shells in the bed, warm, grainy, shells were dirty. No cocktail sauce either. Disappointed :/ Got the seafood nachos. Those weren't too bad. Fish was pretty mild in flavor. The balance was off tho. Too much cheese drowning everything. Chips were crazy salty. Not an even coating on the plate. But overall it worked out. Just needs balance! Sandwich was good for my partner. Bread was a little dry but it was fine. Arugula was dressed nicely. Server Rocky was great. She handled our oyster send back well. Accidentally dropped off the wrong check to us but fixed it quick. She was also the only one working the floor. Taking orders, running food and drinks, bussing. She had a lot to do and did her best to balance it all.

After a 5$ cover fee we immediately saddled up for our first bevie. My host was greeted my owner and dancer extraordinaire Bella Blu, with intros and hugs to follow. They have a large selection of hand crafted cocktails as well as standards available. I opted for a Light & Stormy (they use a white rum) which proved to be delicious. I paced myself with the cocktail water method and was pleased with the self serve water station which freed up the bartender for others. The music was thumping and my hips were bumping. I was happy to see this is a safe place for ALL people. Additionally, in the restroom I noticed a small sign that said you can contact any staff member for help. Wow! now that's cool.

The brick and iron work inside the restaurant was stunning, and the tables and settings helped the gothic vibe. Soft light shone through caged windows, but just enough for the restaurant to still feel like a dimly lit hideaway. The food menu has vegetarian options which are clearly marked, I ordered the veggie burger. It was stacked with two patties and marked with a V, an order of potato chips were served on the side. It was a generous plate and that had me at first bite, the food was delicious. Unfortunately they were out of their infamous blood bags, which both the hostess and server were kind enough to let us know. The upside to that is they have an excellent blood themed cocktail menu. I ordered the B+ whiskey cocktail, also called blood and sand, which probably gets its name from the demura sugar crystals that were sitting in the bottom of the martini glass. Served with a cherry, this is a sweet and fun drink. My friend was celebrating her birthday, so our server offered her a birthday shot, which was made with bailey's, kaluah, and something else I can't recall. I had a sip, it tasted quite nice. When receiving the bill they give you vampire bite temporary tattoos and a ticket to their speakeasy bar Potions. We had the best time and service here, our server was amazing!
