Our Oxford Cocktail Bar & Restaurant is unlike any other! At the Alchemist we believe that every experience should be life-enhancing. Whether it’s your first sip of one of our compelling cocktails or a morsel from our restaurant’s mouthwatering menu.

That’s why we chose to set up our Oxford, one of the world’s most celebrated seats of learning.
Here, amongst the historic dreaming spires, you’ll find us ensconced in the rather more contemporary Westgate centre. Where better to dispense a dash of our trademark theatrical presentation?
