I had a hard time finding out how to get through the bookcase at first (it was actually pretty pathetic watching me try lol) but finally found the handle. The inside was so warm, cozy and had a sexy, cool vibe. Everyone who works there is super nice and helpful and I love the vibe of the bartenders' outfits (one even wore a paperboy hat which just fit with the style). I love this place and will absolutely be back.

Fantastic selection of alcohol complete with an always evolving cocktail menu worthy of some the world's greatest bars. (And yes, I've been to plenty!) Service always friendly. Locals appreciated.

Cocktail Lovers, this must be the place!…read more Calling all cocktail lovers, make Exeter Apothecary your next place to visit. Located right above the beautiful Vino E Vivo restaurant (see prior review), it's the new HIT spot in Exeter. Only about 20 minutes or so from Portsmouth but a fun spot for cocktails, wine and dessert. Ambiance is chill with comfy bar seats, side tables and bartenders that can shake, sitr and whip up almost any cocktail to your liking. We did share their Amaro Flip which was fabulous. I know we will be back for sure since they offer small plates and decadent desserts too. Cheers~

Once they start ya gotta be there. And be there is what you'll want to be. A memorable five course meal with a choice of two different items for each. So if you're part of a couple you can sample everything. That's what we did. All the courses were masterfully done, the flavors superb and the amounts well chosen. At the end we were both full, for sure. The wine list isn't at the same level as the food. I'd have given a 4 1/2 based on that but wouldn't want to go down to a 4 so I'm up to a 5. The price is completely reasonable for the quality and variety. The ambience is cozy and perhaps a bit of a country feel. But just a bit. Well worth your hard earned dinero.

This place has a fantastic upstairs patio with tables and a bar style tables which overlook directly onto the boardwalk/beach. The view accompanied by some fruity beach cocktails is all I need to give 4 stars. The food on the other hand is so-so. BF and I opted to share spinach artichoke dip and a lobster salad wrap. The spin-art dip was definitely microwaved and was really thick (like a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream only). The lobster wrap was ok- the lobster was fresh which is the most important thing, but it will set you back $20something dollars. Also our waiter was super nice and efficient, so points for that too. So if you're looking to enjoy some drinks and enjoy the view with a few snacks then this is a good place for you. If your ravenously hungry and want to have a great lunch then I would look elsewhere.

There's also a digital jukebox on the wall near the bar. The food menu offers a variety of starters (dips, nachos, flatbread cerviche, empanadas), soup, salads, sliders, wraps, fried chicken sandwiches, entrees (mofongo, mac & cheese, pollo asado, quesadilla), and desserts. The pricing here seems fair. They offer a happy hour menu (4pm-6pm) and late night menu (10pm-12am). At the bar, 6 draft beers, bottle/can beers, seltzers, wine, and signature mixed drinks are offered. I stopped by Mia recently for some happy hour bites. I took a seat up at the bar and ordered an ice water and the Nachos ($8 plus tax) and Big Mozzarella Sticks ($8 plus tax). The place was moderately busy here on a Friday evening. The appetizers came out in 10 minutes. The Nachos were the right size for 1-2 people, warm crispy tortilla chips loaded with melted cheddar jack sauce, peppers, onions, jalapenos, & pico de gallo. The 4 homemade thick mozzarella logs were lightly breaded & crispy outside with melted mozzarella cheese inside with a sweet marinara sauce (cold) for dipping. I managed to finish both appetizers before I requested the check which was $17.36 with tax and before tip. Overall, Mia is a great place to stop and unwind for food and drinks. The staff at the bar was quite busy during my stop here and let me enjoy my food in peace while watching sports highlights on the TV.
