   Both cocktails were hands down incredible, and the service was expert. Vibes were witchy and sexy. Usually if drinks are showy (smoke and fire) I’ve found the showiness comes at the expense of good flavor - not the case at Alchemist! Here you get the whole experience, plus incredible flavor. It was quite expensive. So really only a one to maybe two cocktails per visit situation. But will absolutely be coming back.

   I gave 3 stars for food but we had cocktails, not food. The cocktails were 5/5!

   Great cocktails at great value for their happy hour. Their bartenders are absolutely lovely and so friendly. Went three times with different visiting groups of friends in one week and will continue to be a patron.

   It was a vibe ✨ My girl V deserves the world with hosting my fiancé and I. She was able to match us with some of the best recommendations in the house. Although they do not serve food, they have bomb kettle cooked chips and V will recommend the best Chinese restaurant that deliver. For our drinks we had; keep it peachy, give me butterflies, & others. 10/10 must try spot; tell Veronica the two moms never made it to that club 👀, she’ll know exactly what I’m taking about.

   The drinks were amazing and so fun! Only drawback is that a lot of young people come in thinking it’s a dive bar or stand around bar when it’s reservation only. Took away sometimes from the ambience. They could definitely use a host/hostess stand.

   Inventive cocktails in a cozy den with friendly & approachable bartenders. I’d be a regular if I lived in the neighborhood. Ask the bartender to give you butterflies:)

   Ambiance most definitely resembles a speakeasy however the drinks were lackluster. Good happy hour prices but they may need a mixologist or something to improve the taste and quality of the cocktails. Great staff though, very attentive to customers.

    What an amazing place, the vibe is so alive and the staff were super friendly and helpful. If you are looking for cocktails that are not only amazing in presentation but also bring together all the ingredients to make the perfect cocktail, then this is your place to go.
