Best of luck to them, hope it's successful.

An apotheca was just a storehouse in Roman times, you could keep anything you like in one, although wine was a common enough item to find inside.

So, you missed 'apothecary' and 'apostrophe'? Did they do it all alphabetically back then?

 

[tek-monkey]

Good luck from me too, probably not my sort of venue but thats not always a bad thing.

eh? since when does a chemist sell cocktails

I think you will find most retail pharmacists also have a license to sell alcohol.
Take a trip to Glasgow and you will see a chemist issuing a prescription for methadone and selling buckfast.

Shame they couldn't have named it apotopissin after the former owners !

Who cares about them, they made a dogs ear of it.

I always thought the phrase was "a pig's ear".

And dogs dinner......

Good to hear it's re-opening, shame about the name! I'd hope with Revs and a revamped Apothecary, someone might take on The Tavern.

In my house, these two are inextricably linked.

It may be a Windscale/Sellafield scenario - the various incarnations of the Post House have not always left contented folk in their wake....

No, the Sow's 'ere (and the Penk isn't too far away either).
