The Alchemist Cardiff

The manager and all staff here so lovely. Extra helpful and happy to get four of us in wheelchairs in and assist. Great atmosphere drinks and evening. Disabled toilet was broken but hopefully fixed now but manager was very kind in offering to assist to use neighbours. Portable ramp as well!! Love that. Thank you so much!

I loved my experience today. We visited for a hen brunch, didn’t go exactly to plan as the waiter accidentally tipped 4 glasses of Prosecco on me but oh my goodness the service was amazing, such attentive staff and management, I couldn’t ask for any more. Before this the cocktails and food were fabulous. I would highly recommend, such a lovely atmosphere and unique experience.

Apart from being a little slow for serving, as the drinks are quite a job to make, everything else was first class. And if I could give you 10 stars I would. As soon as I walked in with my walking stick, the hostess came straight over and told me about the disabled facilities and if I needed anything special to let her know. As a venue, I can tell you this is a true rarity. Would highly, highly recommend.

Just WOW! We went to visit The Alchemist for a night out with food and cocktails. We were not disappointed! The cocktail menu was expansive and had lots of variety for all tastes. Lots of theatre with the cocktails that added to the experience for everyone at the table. They were all pretty fairly priced for what you would expect to pay (£10+). The food was really good too. A nice variation on the menu depending on how you feel. Service was 95% incredible, with smiles and patience perfectly executed (all except for the one miserable lady, but she could have been having a bad evening..). I would definitely visit here again with friends. Recommend ✅

Headed down here to meet friends who were visiting the city. While I understand being ID’ed on the door, having the bartender once again ask for ID (having just watched us walk in) was an odd choice. The lack of conversation or welcoming atmosphere made us feel a bit on edge with the experience. Drinks are fine, but don’t taste if they have been made with the full quality. A lot of it appears to be to “show off” rather than the quality of the drink. While a good central location is great, I would not rush back in search of properly made cocktails.

My friends and I came here on our trip for a few drinks. We had seen a lot about the place on social media, and it certainly lived up to expectations. We had both alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails, all of which were lovely. The server who made our cocktails was so friendly, we chatted about music as we watched her make the drinks, she was so kind and made us feel so welcome!!! I wish I had asked for her name so I could include it in this review.

Such a cool experience. Its very busy and you have a wait for being served at the bar, but this is purely because the bar people are making each drink carefully and it is well worth the wait. I ordered the "French kiss" which came topped with meringue and a fake tongue and honestly it was gorgeous! My friends ordered different drinks and were very happy with their choices. There was plenty of music playing, a great atmosphere, and really lovely staff.

We went here as a birthday brunch treat and the food was flawless. Really tasty and a good selection of dishes to choose from on the menu. The brunch deal was worth the money and I was glad they offer a specific number of drinks rather than a 'bottomless' deal. The cocktails were an exciting gimmick and the staff were really knowledgeable but the flavour wasn't quite there for us. If we went back, we'd probably opt for the non-alcoholic versions to change it up a bit.
