Laurie commented that Dark Nostalgia featured a bar in New York called Apotheke -- she wants to move in. I don't blame her.
It's designed to look like a 19th century Austrian royal apothecary. Designer Christopher Tierney took inspiration from researching old European apothecaries, absinthe dens, and the Biedermeier design era.
The space is anchored by a 30-foot performance bar made from imported carrera marble. The hand-carved back bar is filled with hundreds of antique medicine bottles that were collected from around the world.
I love the wood floors, with tile inset corners.
I can't tell what the ceiling is made of, can you?
Tierney also fabricated wall sconces and a chandelier from chemistry glassware...
Chemistry graffitti -- how clever!
