After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships, working for The Royal Obsession and Anatomie clothing. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as Parents & Kids Magazine and Girl Meets Strong. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Speakeasies may have disappeared long ago, but that doesn’t make them any less alluring. In fact, it’s not uncommon to come across bars modeled after the obscure watering holes of decades past. Lucky for us, we have such a bar here in the Magnolia State. Take a look:
This is Brent’s Drugs in Jackson. A popular eatery, it’s not normally thought of as a nighttime spot.
Knowledgeable bartenders only add to the old-fashioned feel. Sure to please, the drink selection includes everything from specialty and seasonal drinks to classic cocktails.
The nightly fare also includes small plates, like hummus and a cheese plate. On Fridays and Saturdays, the menu expands to include heartier dishes, such as burgers and sandwiches.
The Apothecary is open Tuesday – Thursday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday – Saturday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. For more information, call (601) 366-3427. You can also visit The Apothecary Facebook page.
