I can't say enough great things about this place! Every single thing I have ordered has been phenomenal. Their steak is great, they have awesome specials, drinks are fantastic. Can't remember the bartenders name but she made me my go-to drink. HOOOKED! read more

City Pharmacy - City Pharmacy cocktail menu - Bars Near Me - Covington, Georgia

Went last night with my wife and I have to say we were not impressed or unimpressed. We started with the Fire cracker shrimp....bland no flavor (the dipping sauce was the star there). She had the nachos, again no real flavor, not good nor bad. I had the shrimp and grits, grits were fine but the shrimp no seasoning which almost made them taste old. She had a lemon drop martini that was good. The wait staff was outstanding I must say. For the price we paid I would probably not go back on my own as that was too much for the quality we received. read more

I was visiting a friend who recommended we eat at City Pharmacy and I'm so glad she did. We each started with a glass of wine (the Riesling was great) and decided to share a few of small plates for our meal. We ordered the charcuterie, brussel sprouts, pumpkin gouda soup and a salad. Everything was wonderful, the charcuterie board had a great assortment of meats and cheese along with pickled and / or sweetened items. A bread option for the charcuterie would probably be the only thing I felt I was missing. The soup was hearty and filling and brussels were delicious as well. We were lucky to be seated right away and there are plenty of places to explore before or after you eat around the restaurant. read more

Food is good. But service is TOO. DAMN. SLOW. We had a 4:30 reservation on a Tuesday afternoon. We are the only patrons at a table and it is 5:30 and we have yet to receive our entrees. (There are folks at the bar) What the what??? Happy hour specials/drinks are solid. But this is just crazy. It's been like this the last 2 visits. I'm not understanding what the hold up is. We ordered the happy hour oysters ($1/ ea), wings and firecracker shrimp. All were tasty. Entrees; Scallops, prime rib and kids cheeseburger were also flavorful but took almost 30 minutes to come out. After a couple of drinks, appetizers and a full meal, I excused my self to visit the restroom. There's a single stall in both the men and women's room and a server popped in just before I got there. After waiting for about 10 minutes and listening to her talk on the phone the whole time- I chose the men's room and relieved myself. It was clean. I came declined dessert and paid the bill. A bit pricey, but it was a celebration so, cie la vie. We won't be back for a long time. read more

I had a lovely time at City Pharmacy. My friend and I hadn't seen each other in a while so we made a plan to grab cocktails. The food was delicious. I had the two Change of Plans cocktails, the Blackened Chicken Penne, and the Apple tart. My friend and I split the Maryland Hot Crab dip. She had the same cocktail, the special (steak, fried chicken, and shrimp trio - small samples of each), and the Banana Roll up. The cocktail was amazing and not too sweet. It had vodka, lemon, simple syrup, and strawberries in it. The penne was good, a bit more oily than I liked but still tasty. The apple tart was just ok. Very sweet. The crab dip was A-Mazing. I couldn't stop eating it. We had a great server who was attentive, friendly, with a great sense of humor. The restaurant itself was nice. It was reasonably busy but it didn't feel loud or chaotic like some restaurant. I like that the tables have a good amount of space between them. It doesn't feel like you're in other people's conversations. That being said, the couple next to us were really nice and we chatted with them. The bathrooms are clean. My only small complaint is the bathroom are single use and in this small nook. It can get pretty crowded/backed up if folks are waiting. I popped into the bathroom before leaving. There were two people waiting and we had to do this little awkward dance to get around each other. Oh, I had a 6 pm reservation so as soon as we arrived (around 5:50) we were promptly seated. Highly recommend. Would definitely come again next time I'm in Covington. Side note: The town square is lovely. My friend made a good observation: A lot of businesses should consider shifting their hours on Friday and Saturday to take advantage of the increased foot traffic on those days. We wrapped up dinner at 7:30 pm on a Friday and so many of the cute shops along the square were closed. read more

The ambiance was great. The eggs benedict would have been great had it been made with shaved ham (stated on menu) instead of horribly salty country ham. Twenty percent gratuity was added to our tabs. There were only four of us, and we were not told this in advance. That puts a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I'm so glad City Pharmacy is in my hometown. Brought my wife here for her birthday. Granted it was a Wednesday night but we were promptly seated by a friendly hostess. The drinks were awesome, I typically enjoy an old fashion but wanted to try something a little different, the Gold Rush was right on point. The Crabcake appetizer was delicious crisp outside moist center. We both had the Chefs special for main course hers a chicken dish w mushrooms and kale w a sauce delicious, mine was shrimp primavera- excellent light and seasoned perfectly. It was really cool when the owner found out it was her Birthday offered her free dessert so she asked him to choose- Tiramisu. Wow was that a perfect ending to the meal. read more

City Pharmacy is the creme de la crème and the bomb dot com. From start to finish, our dinner was simply stellar. We made reservations online for an earlier evening time and we are delighted we did because it got rather busy afterward. Parking is free and ample in the town square just outside. The hosts are nice and accommodating. The vibe is genuine and business casual. There is an air of laid-back, chill elegance about the place. Echoes of yesterday when it was an actual pharmacy adorn the shelves and walls, but this is a restaurant par excellence. The fried green tomatoes are decadent, garnished generously with a sweet cheese sauce and bits it bacon. The grits are hearty, slightly cheesy, and are just the right consistency. My wife had the Brussels sprouts which are sure to cause an immediate stir of reaction and reflection at just how delicious they are. They were slightly charred and crispy. They were just right, and I love what City Pharmacy does with then. The sweet potatoes were perfectly candied and topped with little pieces of bacon and were bathed in an abundance of their own natural juices. Anybody who knows me knows I can eat a sweet potato and a bowl of grits with any meal, so I was right at home getting my appropriate dose at this pharmacy. The soup of the day was this beautiful melange of flavors in a bowl of meaty chili, perfect for the weather and season that day and second only to my Mother's, who uses my Grandmother's recipe. My entree was the Salmon. It was meaty. It was flaky. It was appropriate seasoned and not over cooked. They were not stingy with it as sone places can be. If I'm eating salmon, I want salmon I can see and not just a small bite. City Pharmacy does not disappoint. They have the audacity to serve it over a generous helping of delicious peas, which remind me of field peas dancing in their own gravy. There was no room for dessert. The prices are awesome for everything you get. Travis was our server and was knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and simply awesome. City Pharmacy is my fave in Covington now and on the square here, and that's saying so much because they have an amazing assortment of offerings in their town square alone. Bravo on a restaurant well done indeed. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had lunch with my daughter here yesterday. The food was absolutely hands-down spectacular!!! I ordered the pork chop with mashed potatoes and it was very very tasty. However, I was truly envious because my daughter ordered the trout and that was hands-down the best fish dish I've ever tasted!!! Woooowwwww- the sauce and seasonings were amazing, as well as the grilled tomatoes and okra that accompanied it. Our server was extremely attentive, and always around when we needed her. She made some fabulous suggestions which were all spot on perfect! The bar was quite full, and everyone there seem to be having a great time. The dining room was very nicely decorated and felt very welcoming. Really beautiful environment. We just walked in and didn't have to wait at all! Parking was extremely easy and free right near the restaurant within the roundabout area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting this restaurant if you are in Covington. I am certain to return here when I'm in town once again! read more

Food is delicious! Great spicy margaritas ! The ambiance is also very nice. Service was superb!

We've visited City Pharmacy a handful of times since living in the area. The food and service are always spot on. The menu is on the smaller side but it changes a few times a year. Our most recent visit was for my birthday. We had a party of four and ordered the scallops, meatloaf and the halibut (I believe) the scallops were grilled to perfection and the meatloaf was great as well. My husband had the fish and enjoyed it too. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was some of the best I've had. We save that s place for more special occasions- but it's a hit every time we go! read more

I enjoyed this place so much! Love the quaint town it sits in and loved the decor inside. The showstopper was the bake potato soup! I almost ordered 2 bowls of this.. but had to save room for my meal. It was so balanced, seasoned well. Best Ive ever had! The wagu burger was also delicious! Meat was very tender! The drinks are good but subtly strong! I thoroughly enjoyed this place! It's not only aesthetically pleasing but the food is up to par as well. Will be back! read more

Not good. Stood at the bar waiting for a drink, bartender never said a word. Two "regulars" came next to me and bartender greeted them and took their order. I went outside and sat with friends and waitresses kept walking by with no acknowledgement. We left soon after. read more

Let me start by saying that I really like the vibe of City Pharmacy. While it definitely has a hipster vibe, it still also puts off a cool retro ambiance. The menu also walks that fine line of hipster and a retro-type menu of southern staples. The service here is very good and it was a great time with great friends. The community of Covington is fortunate to have such a cool place and I wouod definitely recommend here. read more

Great food great service fantastic vibes definitely recommend the chicken parmigiana so good!!

My gf had the Parmesan crusted chicken which she said was pretty good. I had the special tonight, a 16 oz ribeye with asparagus and crusted scalloped potatoes. The potatoes were cold, but they brought out some that were satisfactory. The ribeye is what I call bubblegum. No texture and you chew, chew and chew. I've had better ribeyes from Walmart at less than half the price. Service was decent. Restaurant appears clean and has a decent atmosphere however the music was a bit loud. read more

Visiting Covington. Reviews are good and came recommended. Ambiance is great. Food was a let down. My wife had the 4oz filet ($34) and I had the NY Strip ($44). The filet was good but the Strip was very fatty and fairly tough. I'm 59 and have had my share of steaks. This was disappointing. If you visit, stick to the filet or go somewhere else. We drank water and spent $108 with a tip. read more

I think we've been to City Pharmacy three times, maybe more. I would love to go more often than we do, but I think my husband has designated it "special occasion only" because I like to order oysters and cocktails when we go. They do an excellent job, what can I say? The most recent time we went, I ordered pork belly tacos from the small plates menus and there was plenty! I had gastric sleeve surgery last year, so I can never eat very much. For an appetizer, I was able to eat my fill and still share with my husband. We took my sister & her fiancé, who is vegetarian, and he was able to eat a vegetable plate which he loved. We've never gone and been seated outside, but I would love to go this spring and eat on sidewalk! No complaints at all for City Pharmacy! read more

We were in Conyers at the horse park for a dressage event and needed a slightly upscale venue to celebrate a win. City Pharmacy was a little out of the way but we didn't mind the drive. Our server was new and struggled quite a bit but the food was really good. It's a cool space reminiscent of the way things were in the past, which we all enjoyed. I'd try it again. read more

A super easy drive from atlanta for lunch! Walk around the square for a little leg time before heading back. I was set on ordering the Mac and cheese but the grilled cheese (fontina, blueberry, bacon - which i had on the side) won my order selection. Also at the table was a salad (who goes to lunch and orders a salad). I'm not commenting on the salad because i didn't try it. I'd like to return with a group so we can order more yumminess and share around. Service and social distancing was perfect. There is a side patio! Very instagramable interior. read more

HORRIBLE! First and last time time. We not go back. Horrible service. Food just ok. Horrible atmosphere. Sat outside ordered appetizer took 30 minutes to get it. Took 45 minutes for waitress to take our order. Ordered special salmon with rice and asparagus. Food was cold and bland. There was a table of 4 next to us with all 4 people drunk. One guy kept dropping the f***bomb every three words and being loud and obnoxious. They kept getting served alcohol. Husband told manager about our experience and the manager didn't seem to care. read more

Had dinner there last night exceptional service and the food and drink were above par!

My husband and I had reservations for 6 and we were warmly greeting and promptly seated. I was nervous about wearing jeans, as I assumed the dress was more upscale but I was happily surprised the place was a bit more casual than I was expecting. Our waiter greeted us within 5-10 of being seated. We got cocktails and ordered the burrata salad. It was well seasoned and tasted amazing! My husband opted for the hang steak, medium rare and it arrived perfectly. I chose the meatloaf with mushroom demi glacé, it was accompanied by whipped potatoes and charred carrots. It was absolutely succulent, way better than my meatloaf. I wish I could have the recipe. All in all, this is hands down the best restaurant in town. read more

Went for brunch this morning to celebrate our anniversary. We were slightly underwhelmed. The food was good, the flavors were nice, but it wasn't hot , mostly just a little warm and I feel like it would have made a big difference if it was hot. We were one of about three or four tables there, the vibe is really fun and the staff is welcoming and nice. The food just sounds more exciting than it was. My side of hash was lukewarm and I would have liked a little more of it, the chicken on my biscuit was thin and more batter than chicken. The jalapeño cheddar biscuit was cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. My husband had the brisket breakfast bowl. It was ok, meat was good, but the bowl in general was one note. I feel like there is a lot to like, and will probably give it another shot. Just missed the mark a little on this one. read more

I like the ambiance and cocktails here but was never really excited about eating there due to very limited and underwhelming gluten free options. But recently I'm delighted to see that they've added plenty more, delicious, gluten free options to the menu! I ordered the pork chop (subbed the grits for the sweet potato - based on our wonderful servers suggestion) and it was excellent! They even had a gluten free dessert option that was rich, delicious and perfectly shareable. Next they just need to add some vegetarian options :) read more

First time dining here. The only seating available was at the bar or outside. We sat outside. The view and weather were great! The peal and eat shrimp were very tasty! Great cocktail sauce! I had the salmon. The salmon itself was good but I did not prefer the peas and other things that were under the salmon. My husband had the smothered chicken with smoked grits. His was really yummy! Overall the food was good, but seemed overpriced. I would consider going again if they had some changes to their menu. read more

We went to City pharmacy tonight. It was nothing more than perfect! The food, drinks, host, waitress, and the manager (or she seemed to be? She was helping the servers, checking on customers)were over the top with southern hospitality! There was a man walking around seemed to be the chef shaking hands and talking to customers ( you never see that) we have nothing but good things to say about this place! Oh not to mention the atmosphere is AMAZING! I would highly recommend city pharmacy for great southern food and a fun friendly atmosphere. read more

Tremendous. Phenomenal. Wonderful. What a delightful restaurant. My vocabulary doesn't do this spot justice. City Pharmacy would thrive in any big city in the country. To find it in a small town in Georgia is a delight. The chef is special. Every dish was tasty and perfectly prepared. Try the flounder - delicate and moist with a piccata sauce that compliments the fish well. Our resident meat eater loved the huge ribeye, but said he would order the flounder if he returned. The wine list is broad and well priced, and the happy hour specials generous ($1 oysters and $5 drinks). The room has exposed brick walls in a handsome room on a charming square. The service was helpful, friendly and attentive. Our trip to Georgia finished on a high after this meal. The only thing I don't understand is why there are any reviews under 5 stars. Eat here - full stop. read more

Food was great, place was clean. They do have an extensive list of cocktails. But since they are a very small, locally owned place, they frequently run out of the best sellers or I guess you can call them the specials of the day. I will be back I do like it. read more
