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.


Tierney also fabricated wall sconces and a chandelier from chemistry glassware...

Amazingly gorgeous! I want to live there too. Or at the very least, I wish I lived in New York and could hang out there.

I was mighty excited about this until I read the Cityseach comments:

18 of the 24 reviews are 1 or 2 stars, largely citing a hyper-arrogant doorman, $35 absinthe drink prices, shady check inflation ... what a shame, it IS so beautiful!
Reminds me a little of the Night Hotel: http://www.nighthotelny.com/
so incredibly beautiful!
