    Very loud, seems like a quiet cocktail bar on first glances but gets extremely loud when you get it.
    PREQUEL & CO. APOTHECARYResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Shrish, Thank you for your review and feedback! As you truly noticed it gets loud especially during the Saturday nights as it is the busiest period of the day for us. I do apologize that we could not meet your expectations. I would recommend to come around during the weekdays from Sunday - Wednesday in order to enjoy the calmer atmosphere. Hoping to see you back in the future! Best Regards, Mark Sherman General Manager

    I had the pleasure of visiting Prequel & Co. Apothecary with a coworker who was visiting from out of town, and I wanted to give her a truly unique experience. Prequel did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The staff made us feel instantly at ease, and having our coats checked was a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. The drinks were nothing short of exceptional—each one crafted with bold, complex flavors. Our server took the time to describe every element of the drinks in detail, making the selection process both fun and informative. When our food arrived, it was just as impressive, with carefully curated flavors that complemented our drinks beautifully. The atmosphere at Prequel & Co. Apothecary was something special. The dim lighting, plush seating, and intimate layout gave the space an air of secrecy, making it feel like we had stumbled upon a hidden gem. It was easy to lose track of time in such a cozy, private setting. To top it off, parking was a breeze with the nearby Green P lot, adding to the overall convenience of the night. I will absolutely be returning—this place is too good to visit just once!

    Love Solarnik Bars. The drink curation is excellent. I love watching the bartenders. We could only have our table for 2.25 hours as a party was coming in but they moved us to the bar and made sure to take care of us. I love that. Great food as always.

    I stopped by this venue on the way to play-the drinks were absolutely exquisite and our waiter was gracious enough to tell us in great detail about the drink offerings-which further elevated the experience. It was a truly remarkable time and, to an extent, felt as if we were part of a piece of art
