La Pharmacie is in a former actual pharmacy on Sheridan Road in Edgewater, with the original museum-like storefront windows still displaying vintage pharmacy items. The interior carries the early 1900s apothecary aesthetic through without overplaying it.

The drinks reflect the setting without being too literal: Touch the Sun is agave and jalapeño, Venus is passionfruit-forward. The service is genuinely attentive in a way that comes up in nearly every review. It draws couples more than groups, which tells you something about the atmosphere.
