What a great Alchemist! We've been to a few and Id like to say it was the best experience yet. The staff were great and really made it. Food was awesome, drinks superb. Will definitely we back to this one.

I had the most incredible experience! The service was outstanding, with a lovely waitress offering us to take our cocktail vessels home as souvenirs—how cool is that? The Dead Red Zombie was a highlight, especially with the dry ice; it felt magical! Plus, the atmosphere was lovely and everything was spotless. Honestly, I can't wait to return and try more from their menu!

The Alchemist is a stylish spot with absolutely brilliant management (the manager is an asset to the business), and we were provided with fantastic service. The drinks were tasty, original, and promptly served by our server, who was really knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The music was cool, quite loud, and it enhanced the vibrant atmosphere. It's worth booking a table in advance as it gets really busy on a Saturday night. This venue is definitely a vibe, with a cool crowd, and I'd recommend going. I certainly would return for more drinks or a bite to eat when back in the area.

I always leave the Alchemist satisfied. This place also offered me an evening that I was very pleased with with its ambiance and entertaining presentations. The skill of the barista, the atmosphere of the place and the taste of the cocktails were very nice. You should definitely come for different tastes and presentations.

I popped in for a meal recently, and it was absolutely top-notch! Duval, our host, was fantastic—his food and cocktail recommendations were spot on, and the service was impeccable throughout. The food was superb, from the crispy onion rings to the delicious Katsu curry; everything was served quickly and tasted amazing. With a great atmosphere and well-crafted cocktails, I can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend this place for a lovely night out!

We came here to experience the immersive cocktails and were not disappointed. Our waitress Nafiza, always approached us with a smile and explained everything including the clever drinks menu. Her service and attitude alone would make me return, however the drinks/cocktails were amazing, fun, tasty and looked brilliant. Highly highly recommend.
