Apothèke es uno de los muchos bares de tipo "clandestino" que se encuentran a lo largo de Manhattan, aunque éste se encuentra en uno de los callejones más mortíferos en la historia de Nueva York, Doyers Street. Este santuario se encuentra en este callejón oscuro escondido de Chinatown, y tiene abundancia de encanto, a pesar de que las bebidas pueden ser un poco caras. Ubicado en lo que fue un fumadero de opio, el bar replica un boticario de antaño, adornado con mármol, mostrando con orgullo frascos de medicamentos antiguos, equipo de química y cristalería austriaca. Este bar está atendido por camareros expertos y dispensan bebidas verdaderamente exóticas, "recetas" alcohólicas (como las llaman) como el Mata Hari, Femme Fatale y el Dr. Ruth, que se creó con la letal absenta casera y otros elixires.
