The Infatuation's SoHo/Nolita bars guide reports that at Botanica 'it can be hard to find a seat here,' pointing to its daily happy hour and cheap drink specials as the draw. The crowding is described as a seating crunch inside the dim, dive-bar room rather than a formal door line.
No wait-time figures or door policy are reported by The Infatuation; the guide frames it as a spot groups head to specifically because it gets packed, not one that turns people away.
