Lonely No More is today.
.
Our fav pastry person, the very dear @c.a.s.e.y_r.e.n.e.e is our baked sweet treat tonight.
.
I’ve been trying to write something clever but I have to fry pierogi on the line today. What you need to remember is that Casey Rene is a wonderful person, and never phones it in. So you know when this pastry chef is djing, it’s going to be creme de la creme shiz. While you feast on delectable bitties, wash it down with the special:
Jaegermeister + yellow cardamom + East End stout = $6.
.
✌️❤️✌️

Lonely No More is back!
.
Tonight! 9- bedtime.
.
As the year stumbles over itself, forever falling forward, we find ourselves looking away politely, hoping it will get itself together by the end the routine.
Maybe a few triple axels will help sweeten this sour position.
.
I’m an optimist.
.
It seems that so is Ady, as he plans a night of dad rock, disco, and r&b.
.
Calm your nerves with mother’s little helper: all mandarin + dark rum + vodka+ ipa+ sour candied mandarin=$6.
.
Everything is fine, c u soon🗣👀

This is the last night Apteka is open for normal service until Wednesday, Feb 5th!
.
This upcoming Wednesday we open our doors as CRAPTEKA- slinging our late night menu of burgers and fries+++ instead of our normal dinner menu during our normal hours.
That’s followed by a week of the restaurant being closed for vacation from Jan 27th until we reopen Feb 5th.
.
So tonight, as the night grows darker, come in for the last hug for a bit from Lonely No More.
Local mystery Eoin Koepfinger, keeps to himself in the corner tonight- drinking and mumbling to himself like a man who got cut out of the deal of a lifetime by his once friend and business partner. .
A drama like that deserves a good soundtrack, and lucky for us, Eoin comes prepared.
Expect mystical jazz: Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Mulatu Astatke and other Ethio-jazz...
.
While you weave through space and time, sip the special: All orange+ gin+ Cynar+ lemon +bitters=$6.
.
Stock on company while it’s out there, the two of us are already gone..2 weeks without Lonely No More coming your way. C u soon:)

Lonely No More is now-ish.
.
Formosa was kind enough to carve out a piece of her schedule for us tonight, and now she’s stuck in the corner of the room making it work.
The situation is better than Naked & Afraid, but still, there’s a few handfuls of krautrock+ and a bunch of broken up instrumental bits strewn across the floor, with nothing but a couple dozen candles and a special cocktail to help piece it all together.
While Steph whittles down tracks to help survive the night, enjoy the fruits of her labor and sip the special: whole bitter key lime+ pisco+ stinging nettle + chartreuse= $6.
.
Making moves at 9. C u soon.

Lonely No More is tonight.
.
Any way you cut it, 2020 is going to be a lot, some predict it might even get to be too much.
Friends would help, but they’re fickle.
Family? What family- you know?
.
What you need is an angel.
.
This evening our moustacheoed angel, our precious Dave Zak, is perched in the corner doing everything in his power to start this year off on the right foot. .
Expect high stepping disco/ candlelit r&b/ and really ripe funk.
.
While you balance promises you made to your desperate self in the last few days while waiting in line, remember that a) time is a construct b) seeing the world in black and white is for teens, you’re an adult, moderation is key c) you’re fine the way you are, but that being said, we could all use some work.
.
Cheers yourself and the angel in the corner and sip the special:
Gin+ cranberry+ vermouth+ dry dandelion+ fernet= $6.
.
🗣Good luck and see you at 9pm!

Lonely No More is here.
.
Today, Etna’s golden boy refused offers from several local touring boy bands to play the part of the quiet cool heartthrob with them on the road, just to make sure he could help set the mood with us tonight.
.
Starting at 9pm, Zach Rihn drags in his duffel bag of ditties and makes his mess our problem.
.
Expect a melange of grooves- that gum under the table psych/ last minute experimental/ somebody had extra blank tapes so I recorded this stuff- rock n roll.
Dude’s got great taste-> ideal for not-sticks-in-the-mud.
.
To sip- our preserved dark sour cherry n pear compote+ cynar+ rye whiskey+ citrus n bitters n juniper:)=$6.
.
Stuff looks good and feels right, seeing you soon☔️
