Pharmacy, Sand Lake - Closed

I went here after dinner on Saturday. This is a kind of secret bar/restaurant that was opened to handle the run off of The Table (22 seats - $100+ per person) in the Delaggio (I think that's what it's called) shopping area at the end of the road. It's at the far end of those shops. It's around a corner from Table. You press an elevator button that opens the front door. I just had a $6 beer and left. It had poor/no AC, no elbow room and it was next to impossible to get the bartender's attention from behind the wall of people eating at the bar. It also doesn't help that it's one of those pretentious "craft" cocktail bars and each drink takes about ten minutes to finesse. Only two bartenders too. The menu/food looked like the real reason to show up. I thought it was to be only a bar, but, they had an interesting menu. I remember grouper cheeks. It seats around sixty. It was full. They don't take rezzies. The decor/furniture is cool. The crowd is foodie drab, young chic and old (age of person not bank account) moneyed. It's interesting, but, maybe not worth the hassle. They have to get that AC addressed and figure out someway to free up the bar area or get a velvet rope. It now has the same problem that I heard made The Table open up this place in the first place.
