About Apothecary Cocktail Lounge

Apothecary Cocktail Lounge hosts birthday parties, corporate events and holiday parties for 8 to 60 guests on Clark Street in Lakeview, Chicago. It is a craft cocktail lounge styled as half speakeasy and half old world pharmacy, run by a pharmacist turned bartender, so a group gets carefully built drinks in a warm, intimate room.

There are three ways to book it. The Reserved Section is a dedicated semi-private area in the Still Room lounge for 8 to 16 guests, just inside the vestibule. The Semi Private option gives 15 to 35 guests the bar and/or dining room, with bar seating, table seating and high top tables. A Full Buyout takes the Still Room, bar and dining room for up to 60 guests.

The drinks are seasonal craft cocktails, with spirit-free elixirs on the menu too, and the kitchen serves shareable bites, flatbreads, salads and plates. The room has exposed brick, deep green velvet, botanical wallpaper, a marble bar and candlelit tables. Tuesday nights have live jazz and Thursday nights have vinyl DJ sets.

For a full buyout, the venue's team handles the details: the cocktails, food service, music, lighting and hospitality. Smaller groups that do not need a private area can also reserve a table, since reservations are taken for parties of five or more.

Planning your event

A group picks the Reserved Section in the Still Room, the Semi Private bar and/or dining room, or a full buyout, depending on size. For a buyout, the venue's team takes care of the cocktails, food service, music, lighting and hospitality for the evening.

Vibe: Half speakeasy, half old world pharmacy: exposed brick, deep green velvet, botanical wallpaper, a marble bar and candlelit tables, centered on inventive craft cocktails.
Space layout: The lounge has three areas: the Still Room lounge just inside the vestibule, with plush seating and velvet drapery; the bar, with a marble counter and bar seating; and the dining room, with table seating and high top tables.
Private events: The Reserved Section is a dedicated area of the Still Room for 8 to 16 guests that stays open to the energy of the lounge. The Semi Private option gives 15 to 35 guests the bar and/or dining room without a full buyout. The Full Buyout covers the Still Room, bar and dining room for up to 60 guests, with the venue's team handling cocktails, food service, music, lighting and hospitality.
Food & drinks: Seasonal craft cocktails and spirit-free elixirs, with food ranging from shareable nibbles and a charcuterie board to flatbreads, salads, a burger and entrees. For a buyout, the team manages both cocktails and food service.
