  • replying to u/brigadeiro1254: Ok, I've been on three separate occasions — spaced many months apart — and the subterranean space always smells so strongly of mildew or perhaps mold!!! And I have a nonexistent sense of smell due to allergies... I truly don't understand what's going on and why they won't address the issue. I have not, however, been to the penthouse— perhaps that is newer? TLDR: stick to the Chinatown location! The vibes are also otherwise superior.

    It smells so nasty. The rooftop is great though and I enjoyed the drinks.

    Based on the smell I opted for the penthouse, I was underwhelmed.

  • replying to u/akmalhot: Lol  Num 2 place has a 3.3/5, horrible reviews  Apotheke nomad is underground, not a rooftop  Jfk airport hotel.... I mean LP used to be a decent balance of pay to play and real info 

    Drinks are pretty good though

  • replying to u/zoobooze: Haha I love this, such different opinions. For both Apotheke's and GOTO every cocktail we got was astonishingly good. I'm a sucker for Asian influenced cocktail culture as well. Patent Pending has one of the coolest spaces in the City, and the cocktails were good for sure, but nothing blew me away. The original Angel Share was tied with Mace for being my favorite cocktail bar in the City, but we went to the new location where I believe the daughter runs things now and it wasn't nearly as good in my opinion. Martiny's, I understand was opened by the head bartender of Angel Share, and the cocktails were good, but I did not think they justified $25+ price tag that came with a lot of them - still a great bar though.

    Apotheke Nomad was better but I didn't particularly like the drinks I got.

    I kept returning thinking they'd eventually be forced to address the issue. That has not, unfortunately, proven to be the case.
