   Our server was great but there was only one person serving the entire bar on a Saturday night. We liked our drinks but it would have been helpful to have a server available to ask questions and maybe to feel like we had time to order off-menu. Absolutely need more people scheduled on a Saturday night.

   Great little place with extremely clever drinks. However servers need more knowledge of items and how to serve them to “wow” you. Not quite a speakeasy although they call themselves that. Go up two floors to Craft. That was the speakeasy highlight. Well done. Server anxious to have us try drinks he was excited about! Fun. Pretty empty for a weeknight at 10. Reasonable prices at both.

   The drinks were phenomenal! Despite the bar being very full and busy even with a reservation, the customer service was spectacular. Highly recommend

    Both cocktails were hands down incredible, and the service was expert. Vibes were witchy and sexy. Usually if drinks are showy (smoke and fire) I’ve found the showiness comes at the expense of good flavor - not the case at Alchemist! Here you get the whole experience, plus incredible flavor. It was quite expensive. So really only a one to maybe two cocktails per visit situation. But will absolutely be coming back.
