Farmacia is a nine-seat apothecary-inspired cocktail bar that combines the exceptional hospitality of European street bars with the freshest (and sometimes surprising) ingredients for a unique beverage experience.
The mood-lit room, adjacent to the lovely and historic North Square, features an old-school aesthetic anchored by a vintage white 1930s-era marble bar. Tastefully adorned in emerald greens with accents of gold, Farmacia is effortlessly comfortable yet elegant with mosaic tile floors, green leather-upholstered bar stools and illuminated shelving behind the bar.
Creator Phillip Rolfe uses an arsenal of carefully sourced bitters, tinctures, shrubs and cold-pressed juices to craft sips that draw inspiration from the tried and true but aren’t afraid to bend the rules.
Visitors choose three cocktails from the list. With every seat located along the bar, patrons can interact with Rolfe, who hopes this will lead to deeper and more meaningful relationships. The menu will rotate about every 12 weeks — and he’ll pull inspiration from places, themes, ingredients that are intriguing him at the moment.
