The name of this exclusive establishment is Apotheke and represents the first speakeasy in Valencia. Its name, which means “pharmacy” in German, alludes to the places where high-proof alcohol was consumed by prescription during the Prohibition era, thus taking advantage of a legal loophole to circumvent prohibition. A great cocktail bar.
