Allandale Wine Bar Apothecary Is Closing

Apothecary Cafe and Wine Bar, the cafe and wine bar along Burnet Road, is closing, according to its Facebook page. Owner Niraj Mehdiratta notes that a new owner will take over the space, turning it into a new restaurant. The last day of service will be held on Saturday, May 27.

The stylish restaurant was known for its killer wine list, paired with a variety of dishes, from pasta, oysters, charcuterie, to a strong dessert selection from executive chef Matt Gallagher. Mehdiratta opened Apothecary in November 2009.

Burnet Road went through a restaurant boom within the past couple of years, with the debuts of Bonhomie from Philip Speer, the relocated Barley Swine from Bryce Gilmore, Bufalina’s second location,

There’s also been a recent burst of restaurant and bar shutters: South Lamar Italian restaurant Cantine from the same owners of Asti, downtown rum bar and island-inspired restaurant Isla, and boozy doughnut shop Gourdough’s downtown location (though it’ll relocate to, fittingly, Burnet Road).
