Chemistry Wine Bar Catskill, NY

If you peek inside a centuries-old building in the heart of Catskill, NY, Chemistry Wine Bar, what you'll find is a love letter to time itself. When I first walked the space, it whispered of another era – pressed tin ceilings, layers of worn and peeling original wallpaper, exposed beams that still held the memory of candle smoke. The client's original plan leaned modern, full of bold jewel tones, but the bones of the building wanted something older, something true.

What emerged was a Victorian apothecary reborn. A place of quiet alchemy and conversation, where velvet and brass meet weathered walls and warm amber light. It carries the spirit of a poet's parlor on a foggy London night where curiosity and chemistry mingle in equal measure. Every object feels discovered, every imperfection deliberate, as if the space itself is alive and remembering.

Today, Chemistry Wine Bar has become a local favorite. A place where strangers fall into long conversations and everything feels just a little bit enchanted.
