Absolutely fantastic place. 6 of us did Cocktail Making on my daughter's Hen Weekend and Jack made it so much fun and special. We laughed and drunk the whole time. We then returned later in the evening and the staff remembered us and made feel welcome, making us a cocktail called Berleena's Port of Call that my daughter had devised that afternoon. Would highly recommend to everyone. Jack, Jack, Jack!
Fab cocktails Helpful and friendly staff !! Great place highly recommend!!
I love love love this place!
Tasty cocktails! Friendly bar staff and a lovely atmosphere. Apotheca is a fairly small venue but their wares are tasty! Try the espresso martini! Two cocktails for £12 is a must, the only downside is that the cocktails must be the same!!
Need I say more than two cocktails for £10? Oh, alright then. This is a little gem of a place situated in the ultra hip Northern Quarter in Manchester. The front bar is designed like an old apothecary shop making it different from your average cocktail bar relying purely on low-lighting to create an atmosphere. The bar staff, or should I say "mixologists", are flirtatious and obviously take great pride in their work.
I went with three friends during Saturday's Happy Hour (which lasts until 5pm) and sampled a classic Margarita followed by the Oriental Blossom, flavoured with lychee and green tea. Whilst the Margarita was light and refreshing, my second choice was so sweet I had to donate it to my friend, but he had few complaints. There seemed to be a real mix of clientele with a very welcome lack of students.
Apotheca would be the perfect place to start a night out in Manchester and, one would imagine, a great place for a first date.
Good bar to have a nice cocktail. They have a vast range of choices of cocktails to choose. It's a bit expensive (~7.5£ per cocktail), but it's good. The bartenders are nice as well.
Really nice bar with a good selection of cocktails. Will definitely be making it a regular stop next time I'm in Manchester.
Lovely little bar with excellent music. It's attached to Dough (which is so fun!) so you can have pizza then go get drinks. It's a really chill place, but has the best vibe. Also it's located really well in the NQ so it's a great place. Staff are super friendly as well and the cocktails are delicious.
I'll start with saying that this place is expensive, but it still deserves four stars, as it isn't as expensive as other places and serves nice cocktails. I love cocktails, and I love cocktail bars that go "off menu". They don't have an Old Fashioned on the menu, but they will always make me one, and it is always really nice. They let me choose my own whisky, from a wide range of really lovely whiskies, which I really appreciate. An Old Fashioned is £9.
I'd certainly say this is one of the better cocktail bars in Manchester.
Wide selection of drinks. Nice well made cocktail. always choose a caipirinha if you like strong cocktails, it's rum and these guys make a mean one!
Prices are decent not overly expensive. Went over payday weekend, busy enough to enjoy the atmosphere but not overly packed that it becomes a pain to get served.
If you want cocktails this is the place to go. They have offered and new cocktails all the time. Cozy bar with ample seating and the cocktails don't take long to make (airways a bonus). The bar tenders are very knowledgeable too.
Only went in for a last drink of the night and wish we'd been here instead. Some great nostalgic tracks being played, and loud enough to enjoy them and speak. Friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks. Would definitely be back again, although does close quite early for a Saturday, around midnightish, which is probs a good thing 😁
Great little place, has a good vibe and friendly staff. I asked for a gin they didnt have but the bartender offered me an alternative which was really good and now im hooked! Apotheca is attached to a pizza place called dough which is cool.
Found a fancy pub with beautiful service, especially on a floor, skilled bartenders, which cocktails were very well balanced (try rum punch with midiori [2for£12]), wide seating area and good music, perfect if you up for a chat. Honestly, spent great Saturday night there;)
Fantastic cocktails great staff
