This is a great cocktail bar. I came here to celebrate with my sister and I got 'the legal one' cocktail, which was very fitting for the circumstances, and a few others. Overall, a great lively atmosphere, really friendly staff and of course the cocktails and the food were to die for. Will definitely be coming back again!

It has the most fantastic cocktail presentation. It's a one-of-a-kind location. Cocktail enthusiasts will find a wide range of options.
I recommend it to anyone who like change and discovering new areas. It's worth a shot.
The service is also excellent, with a welcoming atmosphere.

We had a drinks here before going for a meal elsewhere. Fun and fancy cocktails but expect to pay £10+ per drink. The science theme is interesting and I'd say it's great for a one-time experience.

Crazy cocktails, a spectacle watching them being made, everyone should go the Alchemist at least once for the experience, great atmosphere great cocktails, circa £10 each. This bar was easy to find in the city centre in a popular area.

As you walk in the door to your left was the cocktails bar and the right was the restaurant that was nice lovely decor and music playing prestation of the food was nice and detail the waitresses was helpful and very polite noting was to much and went out her way for us and gave us very good advice when ordering our food and cocktails and mocktails on point

Amazing service, food was 8/10 and huuuuge portion for a chicken salad. I got fries as an extra side but didn't need to! Knocked a star off as amount of drink in the cocktail was so little compared to the price. Very tasty, would come back. 😌

I loved it here! Totally different experience, great vibe, nice ambience.
1. It is wheelchair accessible
2. Staff are nice
3. Menu is quite unique
4. It is more of an experience than a hunger quench
5. Easy to locate
6. Neat and unique rest room
7. Food was great, I had one of the servers pick a dish for me and she did great. I had Crispy Fish Curry or so.
I would visit again.

Great breakfast and service! We were looked after by Steve who was lovely. Food was beautiful 😍

Came in here for a cheeky Friday afternoon cocktail. It was busy with a good vibe and atmosphere. This did not mean we had to wait long at the bar.
The staff were happy to assist in helping us pick a snazzy cocktail. They even make non-alcoholic mocktails.
There is limited seating outside.
Sophie Hughes
Food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Staff friendly, but it is very busy for them to give quality service.
Chelsea Kavanagh
Absolutely loved every moment at this place! The staff were lovely. I am not going to lie but there is 100% witchcraft going on here! Wizardry i tell you! I also got to try vegan tofu prawn toast! Since turning vegan I wanted to see what that tastes like and there it was on the beautifully designed menu. The inside was absolutely stunning. The toilets looked far to posh for myself to even be in them. I really did have a wonderful time.
Ruby Gifford
Birthday treat, couldn’t of picked a better place little small inside very cosy but you don’t mind when the food and drinks taste so good! How they make some of the drinks is incredible and fascinating good price range too
Ruthless Reviewer Northern Ireland
Food and cocktails were superb alongside it being a very upmarket place to eat in with a brilliant atmosphere.

Drinks are very special and signature. But most either with bubbles or dry ice only. After ordering two to three, will feel a bit bored with it. Doesn’t really get a sense of chemistry as expected. More like gimmicks things only instead. I would prefer it’s more like molecular cuisine or mixing two different test tube of drinks into a new taste, which more like chemist.
Food is so so, not bad, but not really very delicious. Just street standard. If you want to take photos or video, it is a nice place for cocktails and photos with friends, otherwise a bit disappointed if you put your expectation on the taste of food or drinks.
As I prefer the taste of food and drinks, I would give 3.5 stars only. If just for cocktails and photos, it worth 4 to 4.5 stars.

We booked online and left a deposit for the £35 bottomless brunch. But sadly as we caught covid, we had to cancel, the restaurant was really good, they held onto the deposit and allowed us to change the date for when we were clear.
When we came, the restaurant was quiet, service was quick and our waiter was very attentive. The menu had a good variety for brunch and it was a really good portion size plus the cocktails were delicious, a bit on the heavy side.
The only downfall is when we booked it was offering the £35 bottomless brunch, but when we asked after our brunch order how much time we had left for bottomless, they advised it was no longer available and we had already made our second order. So it was disappointing as we planned a moms day off for a lot of tipples!
Claudia Nagy
Great experience! If you want to drink something really good and with an impressive presentation just try this restaurant! The bar and restaurant are very nice and ambient atmosphere. The food is good too. Nice service also, they a big variety of drinks and food also. I really recommend this if you wanna try something else.
James Smith
A warm greeting and some great food. We loved the syringes used in the food as part of the effect for something slightly different. You must try their Baby G's cocktail. Great take on a Guiness reduction with Bailey's cream and coffee. Will definitely be back. The Tattu restaurant around the corner which we went to later in the evening does not come close in terms of service and value for money. Alchemist has a fantastic team and will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for creating a great memory
Kristal Ramdeen
A bit on the pricey side, but food was nice. The prawn lollipops were amazing!
Bhavin Mistry
Great cocktails the Smokey effect is amazing but once you have had 1 or 2 it’s much the same. Slightly expensive but worth the visit

My husband reserved a table for the live lab for my birthday for us and a friend and her partner. on arrival the waitress seated us at the bar, the room was almost empty when asked if we could move to a table the waitress was hesitant to let us but relented. The service was very slow saying hardly anyone was in! When the cocktails finally arrived they were amazing. The live music was amazing. Once we tried all we wanted to on the live lab menu we asked the witnesses if we could get a drink from upstairs and bring it down as we were enjoying the music to be told no, the waitress told us if you want off that menu you have to stay upstairs, which was a shame as the music was really good. At this point we decided to leave.

Went for brunch today, me and my partner are awkward vegan monsters but the staff were super accommodating and sorted us out with some lovely breakfasts - delicious and generous portions. Cocktails were all fantastic. We were also able to sit outside with my dog who had plenty of water and fuss provided. Every member of staff we dealt with were fantastic. Service was really prompt too.
The whole place looks stunning inside as well. Really, really loved it. Definitely worth every penny spent there.

amazing place, I came in with my camera crew as we was filming in Birmingham and as the rain came down on a Saturday afternoon we all rushed in to the alchemist :) nice and warm, food drinks staff on point and friendly, we will be coming again :) thanks x
Karen Smith Nadine
One of my favourite places in town. I love the cocktails here but had never eaten until last night. I had the Katsu chicken and it was lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful a lively place thank you
Lisa Lloyd
The staff let this place down. We sat in a booth and assumed it was a table service kind of place but were completely ignored by 3 waitresses, despite looking eager to order! Cheer up ladies, I can think of worse places to work!
Such a shame because the drinks and food are awesome!
Louis Morgan
Appalling service, appalling attitudes, just as we were walking out after being moved from table to table for 15 minutes for no apparent reason by waitresses with unacceptable attitudes who didn't care at all, one member of staff took an interest in our custom and found us a table, excellent. After 2 single cocktails and a sharing drink we asked for the bill which the attitude filled waitresses then had the cheek to add food to which we did not order and a service charge, bang out of order after our initial 'welcome' we scrapped the service charge and personally tipped the helpful member of staff and her trainee!
Would not recommend at all plenty of other similar establishments doing what the alchemists does but properly with appropriately mannered staff with the correct state of mind!
Sheila Beasley
The staff were lovely. The people behind the bar worked non stop. The people in front of the bar took orders so
We could stay seated. Absolutely perfect. Great fun and everyone made for a lovely atmospheric feeling. Highly recommend for an experience as well as a surprise for a drink �
Tim Sharksmith
Our server Steve was both cute and - more importantly - friendly. As a gay couple we appreciate a good blow torch double entendre.
Beautiful establishment and the food was sublime. Defo recommendo.
Dawn Johnston
The meal was absolutely amazing and steak was to die for, our waitress was exceptional thank you x
Karen Blondel

Leza Horton-Whitfield
Absolutely brilliant atmosphere and a wonderful experience
Would recommend to anyone for that special night out x
Alex Norton
Headed here as the suspence waiting for the Nottingham Alchemist was killing us.
Had 4 delicious cocktails, timed our arrival just right as we got a spot in the window to sit and had a great time.
Decor suits the theme really well.
Ann Ashford

Frankie Mae
Went for brunch with a friend and her little baby girl. Staff were great about the baby and the food was very tasty. I would definitely go back of an evening and try some of their cocktails and more food.
April Barbour
Had a fantastic time here for my daughters hen party, thank you for a fabulous masterclass in cocktail making.
Lauren Hewitt
Second time I’ve been here, and the first time I’ve eaten here. Cocktails were all lovely, and the theatre of them was great too. I had the chicken katsu which was delicious. The service was a little slow and we could barely hear the person serving us (the music maybe) hence 4* instead of 5*.
Susan Coole-Green
Booked table and went strait there. Food was lovely and service great and very helpful as first visit. Will definitely go again.
Wesley Dabbs
Excellent service! Definitely will be coming back for more, good quality food and a great ambience 😃
