ABC Wednesdays: "A" is from apothecary to Apotheca


Yes, this former chemists/pharmacy/apothecary was given a new lease of life when it opened in late 2008. Apotheca on Thomas Street is a great place for an early evening drink. The name comes from the antique pharmacy cabinets, which grace the front bar and originally provided medicinal relief for customers. There is a short video of its transformation at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08n7K6IYJdk
