Description
Step up into the Alchemist's first Scotland venue. Located in the heart of Edinburgh on the fourth floor of St James Quarter, the capital's largest retail district.
Situated just a stone’s throw from Edinburgh Castle and the infamous Witches’ Well, what better destination for their dark world of theatre? Enter via a lobby featuring astrological projections before a fully immersive elevator experience to the fourth floor. Get ready to sit back and enjoy spectacular cocktails, glorious food and theatre served, in the Alchemist's first highland venue.
This huge space serves a renowned unconventional cocktail menu bursting with theatre and style. Be tantalized by the Cherry Poppins, a raspberry gin-based cocktail with a cherry fog bubble.
Feeling hungry? Indulge in an all-day dining menu while surrounded by lavish black and gold interiors. From Katsu Curry to Sizzling steaks, and the mouth-watering Chocolate Cookie S'mores, this place has it all. There are great options for vegetarians and vegans too. If late-night plans are more your vibe, make a booking with The Alchemist after dark featuring entertainment and late-night table service, post 10pm Thursday - Saturday.
What's more, start your weekend right with their Icons Cocktail Brunch. Enjoy 3 cocktails and any brunch dish for £30. With revitalised iconic serves and golden sounds, Icons is the best brunch in and around.
