the cure for the Common Night
Step back into the Prohibition era, a time when alcohol was outlawed, but the celebrations never ceased.
Hidden speakeasies thrived, flappers lit up the dance floor, and the cocktails flowed freely in defiance of the ban.
When you step through our doors, you’ll be transported to this vibrant bygone era.
Housed in a heritage building dating back to 1875, our cellar exudes vintage charm. Experience the allure of a speakeasy bar, the soulful jazz, expertly crafted cocktails, and decor that perfectly captures the spirit of the Prohibition age.
Where History & Innovation Meet
Nestled beneath the iconic York on William building, Apothecary Lounge invites you on a sensory voyage to the Prohibition era. This intimate speakeasy channels the charm of the 1920s, with its vintage spirits, warm ambiance, and intricate, handcrafted libations. It's a place where nostalgia and creativity meld seamlessly to offer an escape from the ordinary.
A Storied Setting
Housed in a landmark building, this space has watched Ottawa evolve and seen the ByWard Market transform from a bustling center of commerce into the city’s most vibrant district.
Inventive Cocktails
Sip on remedies crafted with house-made syrups, botanicals, and a dash of artistic flair. Our cocktails are a work of art, each crafted with a story.
Warm, Intimate Atmosphere
