    The cocktails were very nice, and the ambience and decor were lovely. Staff were very nice, however the staff were a little inattentive which was disappointing. We had to ask to use the coat check (should have been offered/ pointed out by the hostess), and we had to flag down our server multiple times to order / ask for water. The washrooms were also clearly not checked on during service- paper towel everywhere and water on the floor. The space is beautiful and the cocktails were good but unfortunately the experience was a bit below our expectations.

    This venue is a very cool experience. The cocktails are amazing. The bartenders absolutely know their craft. My hat off to them. If you are offered a seat at the bar, take it!! The bar is the best seat in the house, if you want to chat and watch the bartenders work, assuming you are coming here for the cocktails. Chatting with the bartenders allows them to get to know you, and the bespoke drinks they make for you are just the best!! As a "speakeasy," though, it is not. There is no password to get in. The "secret door" is constantly being opened from the other side. We brought friends in to specifically try this venue. It was a constant disappointment from the very beginning. As we walked in, the "surprise" of the speakeasy was ruined because the door was opening from the other side. My friends knew what was happening the moment they walked into the spot. It was very unfortunate.
    PREQUEL & CO. APOTHECARYResponded on November 13, 2024
    Dear Marino, Thank you for the detailed feedback. We always strive towards improvement in our everyday service and operations. Please rest assured that we will make sure to communicate everything to the team. We are truly sorry that we fell short during your experience. We never aimed to be a speakeasy as our concept is designed to transport you to a different era through unique apothecary set up that is followed by the hidden door. We are hoping to see you back soon ! Best Regards, Mark Sherman Assistant General Manager

    The first stop on our speakeasy crawl. "There's only one rule..." :-) Loved the speakeasy aspect through the apothecary. Drinks were delicious and the lobster rolls were amazing. Great service, fun atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.
