The Alchemist - New Opening

Rose Mccullough |

The Alchemist has long been a well-known name on the cocktail scene in the North. With the original bars based in Manchester and a further site in Leeds, Northerners are well-versed in the theatrical, dry ice fuelled menu that has now come to London.

Like its northern counterparts, this bar and restaurant is a glint of indulgence amidst a sea of black suits. At the heart of The Alchemist is their fun and experimental ‘molecular' mixology - think smoking tea cups, secret ingredients and dry ice. It's a little bit Alice in Wonderland meets The Office. However, if that's not your thing, the large restaurant serves an extensive menu of all-day eats, from your classic eggs benedict to club sandwiches and fajitas. It's not exactly gourmet, but there's something for everyone, which kind of works for a business meeting spot.
