The Alchemist London - St Martins Lane

Description

Located in the heart of London's theatre district, The Alchemist St Martin's Lane delivers a suitably dramatic experience. Renowned for its theatrical cocktails and immersive atmosphere, every visit is packed with unexpected moments, from signature serves to the iconic Lightbulb Moment – a fragrant gin and Pimm's creation enveloped in fruit and mint smoke.

Pair the spectacle with all-day dining, featuring elevated takes on classic dishes, indulgent sharing plates and signature favourites.

Visiting at the weekend? Experience our reinvented Alchemist Bottomless Brunch. Choose First Light for £40 until 12:45pm, or Until Dusk for £45. Add bottomless drinks for just £10 extra. The Until Dusk package also includes our newest cocktails, including the Twister, Frozen Cherry Vanilla Margarita, and the return of the much-loved Flower Power.

Staying out late? Join us for After Dark every Thursday to Saturday from 10pm, where you can pre-order drinks packages when you book, making it even easier to arrive and head straight into the night.

Our St. Martin’s Lane cocktail bar and restaurant sits at the heart of Covent Garden, a location that didn’t just survive the great fire of London – it rose from the ashes to become one of the most exciting parts of the world’s most vibrant city. As the great, the good and the downright devilish made Covent Garden their home, the theatre followed – after all, a respectable London address demands nothing less. With the Duke of York’s theatre and national opera house sharing the buzz of the same lane, where on earth could The Alchemist be more at home?
