So Flask is moving because of land issues (new location TBD), and in the meanwhile their second project has already opened its doors. The new bar is called Botanist, apparently they got the inspiration when watching The Martian, in which Matt Damon plays the role of an astronaut/botanist stranded alone on Mars. It’s just a matter of time before this place gets packed everyday, so let’s go now to see what drinks they’ve got…

之前介紹過的 Flask 因爲地的原因要搬家了，新的地點還未確定，而我爲了將要有一段時間吃不到他們美味 grill cheese sandwich 在難過時，老板們的第二家酒吧已默默開幕。新的店名叫 Botanist，說是看到 “The Martian火星人” 裏 Matt Damon 演的生物學家這個角色時得到的靈感。趁他們剛開幕還不需要等位，先去嚐嚐鮮。

The style of Botanist is completely different from that of Flask – it is not a hidden speakeasy, but rather a street-side bar in plain view. There are floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened up completely, and there’s a lovely patio bound to be highly sought-after as the weather warms up. True to the “botanist” concept, there are plants everywhere in the space, and not only does that make it all green and pretty,  it actually smells really nice right near the herb wall too. And very importantly, there’s a no smoking policy at Botanist – weee!

Botanist 和 Flas k的風格截然不同，並非隱藏的 speakeasy，而是一目了然的街邊酒吧，有可以整面打開的落地窗和舒服的露台，這個春夏肯定會大受歡迎。利落的線條加上冷色調的白光，走的是有點未來感的設計。以 botanist 植物學家爲概念，空間裏四處都有植物，不僅綠油油的很好看，走近香草牆時真的會聞到淡淡的香味。此外，Botanist 室內禁煙這點更是另我開心。
