While no longer a fun speakeasy with a secret entrance, this is still a cute bar with plenty of seating and cocktails. We came right in on a Saturday evening and our orders were taken. Fox on the run for me and elderflower old fashioned for my spouse. Drinks were suitably strong and tasted nice. It's not too loud here and price was reasonable. Cheers! read more

The High Dive - Menu - Speakeasies Near Me - New Albany, Indiana

O.M.G.! What an awesome bar! The entrance is in the back and you have to ring the bell for the doctor to let you into his office. Once you go in, you get asked what your ailment is and he prescribes you your "medication" which in my case was the "All Dolled Up" vodka cocktail! We were then taken to the bar area and could choose to either order what the doctor prescribed or a different drink from the menu. Service was great, the drinks were good but my favorite part was definitely the lounge area on the second floor as it was literally like going back in time! The decor is just awesome! Needless to say, I will be going back! read more

Nice little spot. It's considered a "speakeasy" but is easy to find and didn't have any secret with my visit as I just walked in the front door. My visit didn't have anything to do with a doctor or prescription but that might just be for entering in the backdoor vs the front. I love the "study" vibe of some of the rooms with the old house feels (hard wood, fireplace, brick walls). We enjoyed our drinks and our visit. read more

While having dinner in New Albany, I looked to see what else was around, High Street Apothecary came up, and I'm glad it did. It's one of my favorite speakeasies I've ever visited. You need a reservation and you get a text when your table is ready. I won't spoil the surprise, but after entering and having a discussion, you enter the bar. It's really pretty and the ambience is awesome. They play jazz music, which I love. They have a great cocktail menu. I went with The Last Word, which was delicious. I only had time for one drink, which is too bad. But I had such a fun time. Service was excellent. I highly recommend High Street Apothecary in the area, and think it's worth the Uber if in Louisville. read more

The perfect spot for a late (or early) night drink in downtown New Albany. The speakeasy vibes are immaculate - from the chill jazz tunes to the perfectly curated cocktail menu. The staff is welcoming and willing to spend extra time to ensure your order is exactly right. Make sure you keep flipping through the menu for their daily cocktails! read more

We stopped in last night for the first time and it will definitely not be our last time!! We weren't sure how crowded it would be so we went ahead and made a reservation. We were there fairly early so I don't think we needed one, but I could see needing one later into the night. Reseevarions were easy to make online. We walked around back and were greeted by "the doctor". I won't spoil anything but as soon as you walk in you're in for a treat All the staff were very friendly, drinks were delicious, and the charcuterie board from Board and You really hit the spot! My favorite drink was the old fashioned. We sat ourselves at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender and other folks who sat at the bar with us. We can't wait to go back and try some new cocktails out! They also have wine and mocktails. read more

I visited High Street Apothecary last night for the first time. I went with a friend for cocktails, and we both really enjoyed the visit. The location is super cute! It has a speakeasy vibe, but it's also very easy to find. Once you're inside the "doctor's office," you'll be met by a "doctor" in a medical office setting, before being taken through a hidden doorway into the actual bar area. It's all very cool! The bar itself has a very chill vibe, and the staff were awesome. Everyone was really nice. Plus, the drinks were great! The cocktail list all sounded delicious! I opted for the Rosemary's Baby and my friend had the All Dolled Up. I really liked hers, but I absolutely loved mine! It was so light and refreshing, definitely the perfect spring cocktail! If you're looking for a fun spot to have a drink (mocktails included), I definitely recommend High Street Apothecary! read more

Take a trip back in time and visit this *super cool* speakeasy. You enter through the back and go into a doctors room, then they take you through a hidden door and hallway to the speakeasy. Better check their website before going as it ended up getting very crowded and you have to make an appointment to see the doctor! read more

Made reservations on High Street Apothecary website for Thursday night. Friday and Saturday were totally booked based on their website information , however the other couple said that Google showed them available. So I would go straight to there website for reservations. Anyway we entered and ordered a meat and cheese board and the blue cheese stuffed olives. Both were very good. We tried several different drinks based on bartender recommendations. All were good although most were between $12-$16. Later in the night a 2 person jazz band played, they were good. It was an interesting and good environment and definitely worth a visit. read more

Really enjoyed this bar. A true speakeasy style bar. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Nick while there and they have some very exciting events coming up. The decor is true speakeasy era and the drink Nick made was not only delicious but aesthetically pleasing. Will definitely be returning. read more

We had reservations for early on a Thursday evening but was delayed. I easily cancelled once we realized we were not going to make it and was able to reschedule another time 45 minutes later. When you arrive at the front there are signs directing you to the back of the building. I was a little confused because there were signs up to scan a UR code to join the waitlist but no instructions for those with reservations (at least not that we saw). So I was about to scan the UR code to see if that gave any information and about that time the doctor opened the back door. We were welcomed into his office. I'll let you figure out first hand what happens in the doctor's office. Once we were in the speakeasy the doctor showed us around and seated us. The bar staff stopped by to greet us. We took some time to review the menu and we settled on Charlie & The Rye Distillery and the Sardonyx. Then the bar staff gave out free shots in a chocolate cup of a new pumpkin spice drink they are working on. It was so good! Then we got the French 75 and the Ward 8. The bar staff and doctor were going around checking on everyone. There was live music that just started as we were heading out. All of the drinks were good. We will definitely be back to try the charcuterie board from board and you. So 5 stars for friendly staff, good drinks, atmosphere, and unique experience. read more

Pros: Cool Entrance... that's it Cons: They do not honor reservations so I did not get to try a drink. I saw that the inside was a bit bright for a speakeasy, though. I made an 8:45pm reservation for a 4-top, I did this 24 hours in advance. My guests and myself drove 40 minutes to Indiana. We had a great dinner nearby. As we are walking up to this establishment, 5 minutes before my reservation time, I get a text to let us know we cannot be seated. I entered and spoke with the host and he offered for us to sit on a wooden bench in the foyer. OR we could wait 2 hours and maybe get the table that we reserved. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation and asked him why allow for pointless reservations. I did not get a logical response. I left. I hope you guys figure out the intricate science of honoring reservations and managing guests. You've lost my potential patronage and anyone else's, within earshot. read more

We visited on a Saturday night. It has a very cool entrance experience entering the "doctors office" through the back door. Our drinks were very good but we were less than impressed with the $25 "meat and cheese" box. It tasted like it had been in the refrigerator a few days and fruit was not fresh. Edible but very underwhelming. read more

Wow this speakeasy was really cool! I would definitely recommend coming to visit here. They do a wonderful job of making you feel like you're actually in a doctors office and the way they introduce you into the bar is pretty awesome! The drinks and appetizers were all really good and I loved the vibe. The bar was really neat too. All the cocktails had pretty clever names too. Definitely different, but very enjoyable. read more

Loved the atmosphere & the custom crafted cocktails & especially the engage bar tenders

This was an interesting experience with good and weird aspects. You can make a reservation online which might be smart on a weekend night. The entry is at the back of the building and you have to ring a doorbell. The doctor greets you in his office. I appreciate the dedication to the theme but the greeting COULD be briefer; it felt like we were talking to the doctor/getting an intro to the apothecary for almost 10 minutes (that may be an exaggeration but that's what it felt like). We were given a prescription based on our ailments and preferences and then seated. We did not see a cocktail menu at first (they had all been collected on other tables), so when the server asked if we were ordering our prescriptions we just said yes without knowing the options. Fortunately the drinks turned out good. It was jazz night and the musicians were talented at their instruments (they may want to stick to the instrumental version of songs). The vibe was very cool. Heads up that everything is somewhat small - small rooms, small tables, small bar. It fits the idea of a speakeasy but this isn't a space where you can mingle and you're unlikely to find a spot at the bar with its 6 or so seats. My husband is probably more apt to want to return than me, but I'd be open to it. read more

A great speakeasy experience! You enter through an old fashioned doctors office to receive your medicinal liquor prescription before proceeding to the bar. The "doctor" did a great job and it felt so personalized! Drinks were creative and delicious! We will definitely return! read more

This place is so much fun! The atmosphere is fun and unique. You MUST get reservations. Also, don't be afraid to ring the door bell many, many times. They will eventually come to the door. Worth the wait. read more

Fantastic place. Had a ton of cocktails, all of which were awesome; the owner is a great guy as well, had a convo for a few hours and he was really down to earth and sociable. read more

Nice atmosphere. I thought the bar area was cool. Light apps for now. 2nd floor group area opening soon. Not sure how long the Doc will last but it's a cool way to enter for now. read more

The High Dive - Getting Rx from The Doc! - Speakeasies Near Me - New Albany, Indiana

We booked a reservation for 9:45 PM on a Friday night. Was informed that the couple in front of us would be let in but we would have to wait until a table became available before we would be allowed inside to be seated. We agreed to wait after being told it should only be maybe 15 minutes longer. Only once did someone come out to tell us that we would be let in as soon as something became available. We waited outside for over 25 minutes to no avail. Disappointed that our reservation was not honored in a reasonably timely manner. We certainly will not trust the reservation process at this establishment moving forward and most likely will never come back. We expected better from unique place such as this, but with this business model I would not expect it to be open very long. read more

I've been here twice with friends. The first time we came we were greeted by a lady in the "doctor's office" who made no effort to play things up with us, and basically just handed us "prescriptions" for drinks. Very blah. The second time we came we were met by a young man in a doctor's coat and stethoscope who really played the role by talking to us about our "ailments" and joking around with us before letting us in the bar area. This set the tone for us in a much more entertaining way. This is a very small establishment, nice and cozy and intimate, dark and quiet. I enjoy being in a place that's not noisy and chaotic .Very relaxing. Jordan, the bartender, is a lot of fun to talk to and he makes FANTASTIC cocktails. Some of the glasses have flames, some have flowers, others have edible straws. These are fancy drinks. Very talented man! We had a lot of fun here and look forward to coming back. read more

Yes although Nick (aka Coney Island) lacks basic graphical knowledge. He makes an amazing elixir for what ails you. Jordan will get your prescription right the first time and companding skills are unmatched. read more

I made a reservation on March 18th (for a girls night out on March 29th), since it's recommended that you make a reservation ahead of time. I got a text reminder 2 days before, and when I got there I received no text about my table being ready. After about 15 minutes, I rang the doorbell and got no answer. So, I called on my cellphone and only got a voicemail message saying, "The Google subscriber you're trying to reach is not available". Needless to say I was extremely frustrated and disappointed... Then, later that evening I saw on their website that they're "temporarily closed", but no other information was provided... Then I saw on Instagram that they closed on March 19th... I think this was very unprofessional, because they should have reached out to individuals who had made reservations, and not just assumed that people would check the website or social media before coming in for a reservation. And if I hadn't already been there once before, which was actually an awesome experience, maybe I wouldn't be quite so frustrated and disappointed. read more
