The Alchemist is famous for their creative cocktails and delicious dining. Experience their decadent Alchemy Cocktail Brunch, available every weekend.

Cocktails are created with an obsessive eye for detail, presented in mystical vessels delivering theatre for every guest. The bartenders know how to put on a show and guarantee to charm and entertain.

Or try the show-stopping Cherry Poppins. This gin-based cocktail is served with a cherry fog bubble ready for you to burst and release its aromas. It's a scientific lab waiting to be discovered.

The food is special too with a menu served from breakfast until late evening. The menu is an eclectic mix of classic dishes with an Alchemist twist. Favourites include Katsu Curry, Smoking Boards, Curried Fish and Steak. Why not try their weekend Alchemy Cocktail Brunch, every weekend from 11am. Choose three of their most popular & theatrical cocktails and pair with a brunch dish from the mouthwatering menu – complete with plenty of divine vegetarian and vegan options.

    It’s enjoyable! It’s a fun place to visit and the cocktails are pretty decent. Some aren’t so good such as the lava lamp and can be more for show. That said I would be happy to try it again. Food was fairly decent too. There was one dish I had with beef and I did find it way too chewy so may be best to avoid that option. Other than that service was good.

    Absolutely love the atmosphere in the Alchemist. From the design to the decoration to the menu everything is so on point I can really recommend it. The food is absolutely amazing and really tasty. It is nicely decorated and served, really enhancing the whole atmosphere. The drinks are an absolute must and they have a great variety, also nonalcoholic options are possible. Overall a great experience and I can only recommend it.

    What a wonderful visit! We sat at the bar and got fantastic and friendly service from our bartender. She helped me decide on a drink, I was torn between a couple of them. I ended up getting the Hipflask Margarita. It comes in a flask that you pour over ice, and you get to keep the flask. I also ordered two of the oyster shots. How fun and unique! And watching her make other people's drinks was fun too! It can be dinner and a show! The buttermilk fried chicken and salt 'n shake potatoes were spot on and delicious! We enjoyed every bite and every sip! Thank you for the wonderful meal!
