About me:

.. .. {} .. Address: 3902 McCullough Ave. at Hildebrand Hours: 4 p.m.-midnight Tuesday-Friday, 4 p.m.-1 a.m. Saturday, closed Sunday-Monday Phone: (210) 822-1188 Snapshot: The Olmos Pharmacy has been a landmark since 1938 with its full service pharmacy and soda fountain. Pharmacist, George Stone retired in 2005 but the legend lives on. The soda fountain has remained intact, offering hamburgers and thick shakes during the day. And come nightfall, you can sip a glass of Fauna Sauvingnon Blanc, a Clos du Val Merlot, or down a Shiner Bock at the new Olmos Bharmacy, which occupies the space originally used for the pharmacy. 'It was the most viable solution for the location, to be able to save it in its current state as much as possible to be able to preserve the history,' said Dru Van Steenberg, owner of the Bharmacy, which opened in October 2007. Behind the bar: The bar is the old pharmacy counter, and dozens of wine bottles are displayed where prescriptions were once filled. Try a beer milkshake made with Guinness. The bar offers more than 25 imported and domestic bottled beers ranging in price from $3 to $5. Domestics cost $2.50 during happy hour from 4-6 p.m. Wines cost $5.50-$8 by the glass. Bottles of wine, mostly in the $20-$35 range, are also available to go. Wine and beer tastings are periodically scheduled and patrons are encouraged to suggest additions to the menu. Munchies: The soda fountain closes at 4 p.m., but the evening brings thick 100% Angus Burgers, Grilled Chicken Sandwichs, as well as vegetarian fare. If you are not that hungry, chips and salsa as well as other snacks are available. Fun and games: A TV, Wi-Fi and an old-fashioned scale, on which you can weigh yourself for free. Music: Olmos Bharmacy offers free live music 4 nights per week in a wide range of genres - Celtic, Blue Grass, Blues, Rock, Country...you never know what will play next in this laid back fun atmosphere. The skinny: The idea of a bar inside a pharmacy isn't so bizarre — during Prohibition, the only legal way to obtain alcohol was with a doctor's prescription. In addition to repainting the building and adding more seating inside, Van Steenberg — who is also immediate past president of the Monte Vista Historical Association — has restored the original neon to the entrance and is collecting historic photos of the neighborhood to post on the walls. The Bharmacy is a welcome addition to the Monte Vista/Olmos Park neighborhoods, which are sorely lacking in bars. Not to mention that it offers a good variety of beer and wines — or, as the menu puts it, 'the cure for what ales you.'

Who I'd like to meet:

AROUND THE TOWN : No prescription is needed to get your cure at Olmos Bharmacy The Olmos Pharmacy might not dispense prescriptions anymore, but now a very type of medication is available. The Olmos Bharmacy offers a wide selection of reasonably priced beer, and an upscale wine list as well as live music most nights of the week. The soda fountain, with its iconic milkshakes and classic grill, is still open during the day. But in the half that used to be the pharmacy, there's a wine bar. The Bharmacy opens in the evenings at 4 p.m., serving beer and wine until midnight. The evening menu includes mouth watering burgers that inspire legend. Happy Hour prices entice neighborhood locals and commuters alike to the friendly down to earth establishment. So depending on the stress of the day, a stop just might be the cure for all types of relevant ailments. Within moderation, of course ________________________________________________ The Olmos Bharmacy 3902 McCullough (210) 822-1188 HOURS 4pm-midnight Mon-Fri..; 4pm-1am Sat..; 11Am - 4pm Sunday
