  • private birthday party
    Recently hosted a party for my daughter. Everything was incredible. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and professional. The signature drinks they created for the event were amazing; the passed canapés were perfectly prepared. The view and space was magnificent. Our guests had a fantastic night. It was perfect from start to finish.
  • private event
    Amazing! We did a private event and it was fantastic. The entire staff went above and beyond to make the night special. Thanks to Jackie, Andre, Jenna, Max and the bartender (who I believe was named Art). Our guests had a great time, drinks and food were great, and every part of the planning process was smooth. The location and design are also fantastic and everyone commented on the space and view. Don't sleep on Apotheke NoMad!

  • corporate event
    Do not come here, Completely unprofessional. Went for a corporate event, gave advance notice of the size of our party, bouncer only let half of our group in and then when the remaining half of the group wanted to leave the bouncer started yelling at the black women in our group about “having an attitude”… he had to be physically blocked by other members of our party as he continued to scream at them while the group walked away…
