Long anticipated, but well worth the wait. I went opening night and again on Friday night to find a really cool place with great vibe - and the bar staff could not have been more friendly and ready to please! It's also easy to find parking nearby, a nice bonus. I'll definitely be back...

I'm very pleased that this place finally opened. Cool space and a much larger room than I expected. Its split front and back with a house DJ stationed in the far back playing great music that we could all relate to at a sound level that allowed us to still be able to hold a conversation. Prices were not offensive and the burger was damn good. Ask for extra onions and you'll be even happier. This place was well worth the wait. Well done!

Went opening week and the place had a great crowd and was laid back at the same time. The burgers and fries are amazing.

You cannot miss the neon green pharmacy symbol sign out front. Inside cool illuminated pic of pill bottles. Stylish and comfy and ample seating throughout. I was there Friday night. The people who worked there just so stoked to finally open and just eager to please. DJ in the way back spinning such a great mix from Arcade Fire to Interpol to Michael Jackson to Jane's Addiction, but the space is so roomy, you can sit and chill or you could dance, you can do whatever. You can get a burger/fries, which were soooo good, but this isn't Ed Debevics with booths and leave your milkshakes to Potbellys. This place....packed in like sardines? no. Annoying B96 music or music without words? au contraire. Interesting people coming in to check out the new space. yes. Getting a drink? a breeze. Valet? $5 bucks. I didn't see anything wrong with this space, sure to become a staple.

After walking by this place for months my friends and I were anxious to finally go in the bar with the cool green sign. I have to say it was under whelming. The owners seem confused about what type of genre they are going for with this place. It is sort of decorated like an old pharmacy, but with the exception of the bar and the sign, the look is more of a minimalist lounge, with some prints of 70's rock stars thrown on the wall. It's an odd mix. The food was fine. They just serve burgers and fries. Because the seating is more lounge like it was difficult for all of us to eat on the tiny tables. The drinks were adequate but no sign of the spiked milkshakes they were supposed to be known for. The servers seemed confused that we even asked about these. We left confused... cool idea, but not enough follow through.
