Step into The Alchemist's second venue in the Scottish Capital. Located centrally on George Street, this most northern destination offers a selection of creative cocktails with theatre at the forefront, accompanied by delicious all-day dining and culinary creations.
Get ready to experience the magic as you sip on a Pop Notch, a cherry gin-based cocktail with a flavoured fog bubble - pop to release its aroma or a classic old-fashioned with a twist of banana peel.
Feeling hungry? Get ready to indulge in their all-day dining menu while surrounded by lavish black and gold interiors. From Smoking Boards to Flatbreads, and the mouth-watering Chocolate Cookie S'mores, this place has it all. There are plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans too.
Weekend plans more your vibe? Experience the best brunch around with the Icons Cocktail Brunch at £35pp. Experience revitalised classic, golden sounds mixed with the dark molecular the alchemists are known for, this brunch is not one to be missed.
Join them in the late night Thursday - Saturday for After Dark. Book a drinks table post 9pm and enjoy the perks of table service. Their drinks packages and resident DJs are bound to keep you entertained into the early hours.
