OMG!!! These place is one of the best cocktails bars I have ever been too. Came with family for drinks in the afternoon, and was so good we came back for dinner.
We had a few small appetizer plates. Vegetable gyoza, sweet potato fries, Thai fish cakes, and halloumi sticks. Food was good and perfect to share with people.
The best part was the drinks! Had a "Black Magic" to share which was fun as we could put it ourselves once told by the server how to do it. Then I had one of their specialty jamician rum cocktails, and my partner had a "Lightbulb Moment". The drinks are fun, well presented, and delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the establishment. We loved this place and it made our trip so much more enjoyable!
Open one in NYC soon!
This place is a must visit if you're a tourist, local, casual drinker...everything!!!!
Came here in the afternoon with family. Sat on the terrace outside with the great view. Stared to rain so we moved inside and had a few drinks. The presentation, quality of drinks, quality of the establishment, furniture, attentiveness of the staff was 5*.
Will definitely be coming back here - we did the same night- the price of the drinks for the quality you get, you cannot beat. You be double or triple the price anywhere else!

We went there to try the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and were surely surprised to find the place bustling with people ! They have a very elaborate and fancy drinks menu in line with the periodic table which surely caught our attention. Despite the crowd, our stewardess was quick in taking our order and bringing food .. we chose one of the drinks which came with a take-away hip flask - a great marketing tactic to create a memory out of a regular evening ..
Their drinks are to die for .. effervescent goblets, quirky names and yummy combinations, we will definitely go there again !
Fabulous!
Visited the bar for a friends 30th birthday. She had wanted to visit a rooftop bar and we weren’t disappointed. The table service was great. The drinks did take a while to come but it was a busy Saturday afternoon. We sat outdoors and were kept warm by the heaters.

I absolutely loved the place. I happened to be reading a
book from the Rosie Project series (by Graeme Simsion) which mentioned The
Alchemist being one of the best cocktail bars. I was very excited that I got to
go there on my holiday - and yes their cocktails were amazing. From cocktails
that smoke to ones that change flavour as you go, I don’t think you can go
wrong.
Excellent. The best Mojitos I've had this side of Miami made by friendly staff. Would gladly go again.

I have come over to the Alchemist after work during the restaurant week which means that for smaller price than usual but adjusted menu, I could enjoy a 3 course meal for just £20 and for an additional £10, I have tried Lost in translation drink.
For my starter, I have went with fried shrimp which was divine, especially when dipped in the mayo that it was served with.
For my main, I went with chicken katsu which was also cooked to perfection and it was really tasty.
For my dessert, I have chosen next level brownie which was really warm and served with some tasty sides like caramel. Definitely one of the better desserts I had in Leeds.
I must say, that The Alchemist is at the very least worth a try with tasty food but the amazing variety of drinks are the true highlight and everyone should be able to find something for themselves.
Restaurant and Bar sections are separated so you can enjoy the food without the nosiness usually associated with bars. The view looked good during the day but it must really shine during the night and/or around Christmas when the streets are lighten up and you can look over them. There is also open air space available but due to the weather, I have not tried it.
Finally, one of the highlights for me was amazingly friendly and helpful staff with whom I was really impressed.

Full disclosure, it was the 40% discount that they're offering right now that encouraged us to visit as it's not really a place that would normally be on my radar but we were all pleasantly surprised by the experience.
On arrival my fears about the place were confirmed, it was very busy, the music uncomfortably loud and the other patrons predominantly fashion-forward beautiful people in comparison to my middle-aged frump but the deeper we went in the more acceptable it became. The dining area at the back is much more pleasant than the bar.
Unfortunately the music was still a bit OTT which then meant fellow diners had to talk loudly but I'm probably more sensitive to this stuff, you might not even notice.
What's important is the food and service, both were exceptional.
I was impressed with the speed of the service but also the quality of the food, I'd been concerned that my chicken burger only had a single thigh listed on the menu but that chicken had been working out, it was a generous size and very moist.
The other dishes ordered were all of a good quality, portion sizes generous and apart from a chocolate that came out melted because the slate it was served on was hot it was a great experience... apart from the noise :)
I'd probably revisit, even without the 40% deal.

Mega klimat!!! Jedzie przepyszne, widok cudny, obsługa świetna! Baaaardzo polecam
A good restaurant should offer a combination of delicious food, attentive service, a pleasant ambiance, and reasonable pricing. The quality of ingredients, skill in preparation, and unique flavors are essential aspects that set great restaurants apart. You'll find everything above here!
I had the secret menu item the Hendricks egg you have to find the secret QR code to get it . the service we recieved was excellent we could not fault it one bit they advised us and entertained us both
Great service overall and particularly from Matt who showed me exceptional friendliness & kindness.
Beautiful setting with amazing views of Leeds.
Highly recommend trying a margarita with your dinner.
What a great team! Thank you Matt.
No food, but a couple of drinks. Bartender was great, explaining how to finish my drink at my seat and was really good entertaining my children. Good atmosphere, lunch time was filling up with parties. Always a go to
