Great cocktails
Had pre booked a table arrived a little early no problem was seated promptly. Had the Mad Hatter cocktail it was fun was £21 for two people. The food was well presented and delicious the menu is varied so should suit most tastes, reasonably priced food. The atmosphere is good although I thought the music was a tad loud when your chatting. The staff pleasant helpful and attentive but not rushed. I would definitely return even if its just for the cocktails there are quite a few.
We had lunch here on our one day in Manchester. We really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant had a cool vibe and the service was good. Our food was delicious and we enjoyed the drink options
We headed out on Sunday morning for breakfast and found our first choice had moved and our second choice had a queue out of the door. Frustration soon turned into very pleasant surprise when we had a look at the menu of a place famous for cocktails but not so much for food.
There was lots of choice at a reasonable price so we went inside. Delighted we did. 1st class breakfast, beautifully presented and accompanied by great coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice! Much better than the breakfast we would’ve got at our first or second choice, which are both very good!
It's been a little while since I did my last Thankful Friday post. I had some very sad news towards the start of the year and I didn't really feel up to trying to put together a list of 'happy things' so I decided to take a little break from these posts. I'm now getting back into my stride and have decided to kicks things off by co-hosting the lovely Jasmine's happiness link-up this week! She's been posting them weekly and it's a great way to recollect and be thankful for the little things that happen in life. This post isn't just about the last week but more an update on life lately:ROME-ING AROUND
Well, Tom and I decided it was time for a road-trip. We packed up our bags and jumped in the car and set off from Liverpool to one of our favourite cities - Manchester. We checked in at the beautiful Townhouse Hotel which is right in the city centre and provides the perfect base for exploring the city.
Happily, I don't have anything bad to say about our brunch at The Alchemist.
The Living Ventures group have their fans and their critics, and although I've liked some places more than others, this place again proves to me that more often than not, you can expect a well run restaurant and a fairly decent standard as this place proves. I guess that's why they're so successful.
It might be a different case for their other food here, I've not tried that, but for breakfast it was top marks for all, no faults to report.
Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, really good staff, service was quick and food excellent. Also a little bit of magic with all the cocktails, making it a worthwhile experience. Great menu including breakfast and brunch options until 2pm.

We visited The Alchemist on New York Street in Manchester for a corporate event and were initially faced with a challenge in finding adequate seating for our large group. However, thanks to the kind and accommodating staff, we were able to secure a shared large table.
The standout of the evening was the extensive and impressive selection of cocktails. They exceeded our expectations, both in variety and quality. It's clear that the mixologists at this venue are true artists in their craft. The cocktails were among the best we've encountered, and though we didn't handle the bill ourselves, the prices seemed reasonable for the exceptional quality.
On the downside, the cocktails were quite strong in terms of alcohol content. While some might appreciate this, our group felt that it detracted from the overall experience. We were there to enjoy a good time without necessarily getting drunk, and the strong cocktails didn't align with that aim. It would have been better to have cocktails with less alcohol, but perhaps more volume.
All in all, The Alchemist on New York Street in Manchester is a great choice for those looking for a unique and memorable cocktail experience. We do hope they consider adjusting the strength of their cocktails to accommodate a wider range of preferences.
We came here for the cocktail brunch and would definitely recommend it. It is really good value. The food was nice, I had the maple bacon pancakes which were very nice and generous with the bacon, my only complaint is the bacon had a fair amount of fat on it but this is more personal preference. The cocktails are always fun
Great place and atmosphere! Both food and cocktails were excellent, with a good atmosphere that was chilled enough to chat but still a good vibe for an exciting time. I would go hungry with no work the next day to make the most of the experience! Only down side is the staff were little abrupt, but it could have just been one of those days.
The food and drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend the vegetarian burger. Simple and absolutely delicious.
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left, we were blown away. The service provided by Freya, the decor and the atmosphere were really top class.
Thanks for a great experience!
Recommend the "special" cocktails - which you can recognize by the eye logo on the menu. It was incredibly fun to watch how they prep your cocktail (with fire, smoke, lights, bubbles ...). Ours were served in a test tube and light bulb. We both really enjoyed ours. The couple after us ordered the cocktail with tongues and they were not impressed. They took one sip and left the drink behind.
Heard alot of good things about this place before the visit so had to try and see what the fuss was all about. We were not disappointed at all. Lovely venue throughout with a friendly team. The cocktails were amazing not only as a drink but as an experience also. If you love cocktails this is the place for you albeit they do cater for other drinkers too. You can choose between normal cocktails and the highlights are the magical creations from the alchemist. We will 100% be back for more next time visiting Manchester.
I good little destraction as you make your way through Manchester, great venue. And great tasting cocktails.
The bar person did a great job of selling the theatre would recommend as an experience.
3rd Alchemist we have been to in another city. Our favorite place to always go now. Great exciting cocktails to try. Food is good too. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Shout out to Callum who served us. We would come back here again, always.
Amazing experience here at The Alchemist. The most unique cocktails with a smoke & mirrors twist. Yes, they are a bit pricey but definitely worth going at least once.
The food was also very tasty, atmosphere was great and service was exceptional. Would definitely recommend!
