A huge thank you to India and the team for going 'above and beyond' when hosting 50+ guests at Alchemist Bevis Marks earlier in the month. From the initial booking handled by India, through to the service on the night, the entire experience offered us true 'peace of mind' that our requests would be taken care of - nothing was too much to ask and we are already looking for an excuse to entertain guests here again - thank you so much!

I visited during their open bar at night, so you can seat yourself, which is nice. Prices are on the higher end, but the quality of the food and drinks makes it worth it. The tempura prawn lollipops were great—the breading had the right amount of crunch and paired perfectly with the sweet chili dip. The salt and shake potatoes were just okay, not too crunchy and lacking salt, so I’d probably skip those next time. The Bubblebath drink was fun and not too strong. Service was amazing—super friendly and polite. The ambience and decor are really nice, and the liquor display by the bar is especially cool. Overall, a great spot for a night out!

The food (Steak & Crispy Chicken Basket) was excellent, the service was very attentive and friendly. Good (manageable) selection of wine and cocktails, the latter of which is particularly noteworthy due to the great presentation. Depending on the cocktail, it steams or bubbles like in chemistry class. The desserts were also excellent and super tasty. The toilets were clean. It's best to reserve in advance.

I mostly come here on business. And that's a mistake because the wine list and the food, from snacks to meals, is great. It gets busy and the service can dip when it does. But otherwise it is fab. Great interior and atmosphere.

They're a bar, and a restaurant, all at the same time. We chanced upon them while bar hopping around London one weekend evening, and was attracted by the DJ playing some sick beats. Wasn't disappointed, especially with the many different types of fancy looking cocktails that they serve here. Prices are on the higher side, but if you're getting a drink or two, it's still very enjoyable. Got a smokey old fashioned, and went on to another bar after. I must admit, this place was definitely the highlight and the peak of the many bars we visited that evening; everything went downhill from here after.

I Organised a team dinner here for 22 people on 20/09/2024. I had a bit of a hissy fit about the service, but I must say I was very impressed with how everything was handled. The manager came over straight away to resolve the situation (which he did 10-fold ! Thank you again). Not only that, the server himself could have developed an attitude but he didn't he just continued serving us with a smile. I always say issues can always occur, but it's how people approach the resolution that makes all the difference and this team were A*. You have a wonderful team who looked after us fantastically(despite my frustration). Thanks so much

Drinks and service were incredible. Our waiter was really kind and really knowledgeable. The food however was quite the disappointment. On the upper level of price classes and portions were very small. Additionally, there was a DJ in the bar area, which was quite cool, but made a relaxed dinner at the restaurant difficult. Even though the dining area is separated from the bar area, we could barely understand each other while sat on one table. Would have been nice to know in advance! Can 100% recommend for drinks but not for food :)

had a great, delightful time at The Alchemist. One of my favorite books mind you! The food was delectable, the ambiance was a chill vibe, and the drinks were carefully curated with knowledgeable mixologist there to guide those who were faint of heart (not I). I particularly appreciated the spin on the oldies but goodies like the Smokey Old Fashioned… more then just adding some smoke into an old fashioned, the use of oak wood specifically and some finishes added gave this a slightly woody, slight honey flavored taste that was to die for!

The bartenders were extremely rude. They asked us for our order and once we actually put in the order, they rushed us out and claimed that others reserved the table after our stay rather than placing us in a place where we wouldn’t be rushed. Then, when the bartenders caused our delay, they rushed us out and blamed us rather than compensating us and allowing us to finish the drinks we paid for. Horrible service. Horrible place.

Food and cocktails weren’t good at all. Chicken genuinely tasted bitter to the point where I think it was expired, and waffles tasted of bread mould. Wait staff weren’t very attentive even though we were the only party in the entire place; they spent a lot of time chatting near the bar. Felt a bit like a slap in the face when our group was bringing them more than £1000…

Super place! Been here twice and both experiences were so fun. Late afternoon - amazing attentive bartender, super friendly and caring. Had multiple cocktail shows ranging from smoke, fire and bubbles. Although the bar was busy with lots of people sitting around it and others coming to the bar to order, the guy with the tattoos - didn’t get his name but did an amazing job multi tasking!! Mid-day - Super chill vibe, bar area had a few people there and two people on the bar. we ordered a french kiss and brûlée cocktail (brûlée is a must try!) again bartenders were sweet and helpful - our food didn’t arrive quickly and was asked by the bartender if we’ve received it, we replied no - she did a quick check on it and let us know it’s on its way. Thank you to the lady for taking initiative rather than the customer having to ask!! The location is in a lovely area not too far from Liverpool station and it’s a fun experience - i’ll be back here definitely!

Just back from a birthday celebration at the Alchemist, Bevis Marks via Liverpool St Station. The staff were amazingly helpful, friendly and so knowledgeable. What a fantastic menu of expertly made cocktails. Each drink was explained to us by Stoyan & each one was amazing. Also a lovely young girl staff member....I'm so sorry we didn't get your name....helped us with our food & drinks choices. We were a party of 4 and each of our meal choices tasted fantastic, they were nicely presented and also great value. I don't always pay service charge because I like to tip where credit is due...we paid full service charge as the staff engaged with us and made for a wonderful experience. Thank you 😊

This place is a beautiful spectacle, and absolutely in a good way. Their speciality is theatre and flair, labelling cocktails on their menu with an ‘eye’ symbol that are particularly eye-catching. The interior is beautiful and matches the name, exuding the atmosphere of the home of a mad-scientist turned cocktail maker. The cocktails are delicious and also reasonably priced for central London. I thoroughly recommend the ‘Lightbulb Moment’, ‘Pear Pressure’ and the ‘Dead Red Zombie’ cocktails in particular.

But what a shame the whole time we were here, we could not hear each other speak due to the loud and heavy beat of awful dance music!!!!! I'm not a boring older person and fully understand the younger generations like of music. But in a " restaurant " this was totally unnecessary and totally spoilt our experience.

Went for the theatre of the cocktails and were a little disappointed that the bar is hidden behind a screen (not as shown in website photos) so you only get to see what you have ordered but we were pleased with what we tried. we have several different cocktails and all were great fun but they are pricey. okay for a special treat... but not sure the experience lived up to our expectations. in summary - Staff okay, atmosphere just okay (a little dark to be honest) and cocktails fun but pricey. Would maybe try alchemist again but not this one.

The Alchemist is known for their eclectic collection of cocktails and they did not disappoint. They have a good collection of cocktails and their presentation is spot on.

As usual the drinks and atmosphere at the Alchemist were excellent. Go to drinks were the caramelised jungle bird and breakfast manhattan (pipe dream was tasty but a little strong and didn't include the described cookie). Nibbles of nori crisps and hot honey popcorn were an excellent accompaniment. Definitely a reliable and enjoyable evening spot.

Having previously enjoyed the cocktails in the bar we thought we would book a table in the restaurant for our daughter's birthday. We arrived a little early and grabbed a cocktail in the bar which was brilliant. Then we went to our table. The food was OK but the service was poor, Our initial server was really good and gave good advice but then he went on a break and we weren't sure who was looking after our table. We tried to attract the attention of passing waiters but they seemed to be looking up and not down at the tables. No one came to see if we wanted more drinks (which we did). We had starters and mains but they were not very quick at clearing the table after either course, We knew we had the table for an hour and a half and our time was coming up but as there were other tables around us who were there before us we thought we'd be OK. We weren't offered desserts and tried several times to order more drinks. They then came and said they would need to have the table back. We asked to order more drinks which we did but were told we would have to take them to the bar. 20 mins later the drinks or bill hadn't arrived. At this point the manager came over and apologised that the order hadn't been put through. He did take one of our drinks off the bill. I pointed out about other tables still being in the restaurant who had been there before and he gave some excuse about rotation of tables. I could understand if the other groups were bigger groups but there was another group of 3 women. Eventually our drinks arrived and we moved to the bar. There were no tables available so had to stand. When going to toilet half an hour later I noticed that not only were the group of 3 girls still there enjoying their drinks but no one was sat at our table. We would have had more drinks but left and went elsewhere. Overall a disappointing end to the evening.

The manager didn't seem to be interested even to speak to anyone to clarify the situation. Eventually we asked if we can sit downstairs at one of the sofas.

Came in today. Only ended up staying for one drink. We ordered a strawberry daiquiri and a Amaretto sour. The amaretto sour was lovely. The daiquiri was like a soggy strawberry iced mocktail. I paid for an alcoholic one. I tried it, my other half tried it, both unimpressed. Clearly no alcohol in it, so I brought it back. I explained to the very unimpressed bar man. I explained that it wasn’t exactly what I had ordered. He turned to me and said.. you picked it. Face of thunder. I explained I didn’t mean to offend him but this daiquiri didn’t taste like anything. I asked to change it as he clearly thought it was just my choice in drinks. I stood at the bar for a good 10/15 mins before my drink arrived to me as my other half finished his at the table. It wasn’t overly busy but there was only two people serving. The guy dealing with me (who made the original drink) was taking orders and also making previous orders. I honestly feel like he was clearly doing too much and forgot to even add the alcohol. I understand that he was busy but there is no need to be the way he was and I feel like he should have a course in costumer service. I’m not usually a complainer but this really didn’t sit well with me.

I work at the City of London and I live close as well so I have been a few times to The Alchemist Bevis Marks and the one in Canary Whard. I am always impressed with how polite and smiley are the waiters and waitresses. Great cocktails and an amazing atmosphere. The food is more than good considering it is not a restaurant. I recomment chicken in a basket and their bao buns.

The alchemist certainly has been a busy cocktail extravaganza site. The question is does the food enhance the overall experience? Answer - decently surprising. The chicken in a basket is a winner, amongst snacks, the glaze does amaze! The steak sandwich is below par, slightly dry and lacks flavour. The fish curry was above par. In whole very pricey lacking a punch. Service by Brendan was delightful, recommended staff member! The decor is beautiful with private booths, comfy seats and captivating lights, making for a great evening!

One of our dishes never came out, when I asked the bartender about it, he said they were out of the ingredients so we were never charged for it, but I think they should have told us so we weren’t just waiting there while he was practicing pouring water into a cocktail glass. I did the math regarding the missing food item, and there was still another €5 on the bill that I could not account for. I think we were still charged for this item, because I had already factored in the 10% that I tipped them. Also found it strange that he immediately charged us after ordering and then left the card reader at our table for 30 minutes, instead of letting me ask for the bill at the end of the meal.

Une véritable expérience hors du temps avec ce cocktail pour 2 qui dégage une fumée magique digne des laboratoires d’alchimistes! La nourriture est correcte mais la magie réside vraiment dans les cocktails parfaitement réalisés!

This is a great brunch option, if all you care about is Instagram. Nice setting, although it was empty. Cocktails did look impressive, but tasted strange and unpleasant. I ordered the chicken waffles, and without exaggeration, the dish was so dry it was pretty much inedible. It was the most dry thing I have eaten, they warn you about the dry ice, but the real issue here was the dry food. It was dreadful. But like I say, if all you really care about is posting nice pictures of fancy cocktails on Instagram, then come here.

The overall is very distinct drinks that are fun and whimsical. Drinks are good but nothing really magical. Food was good, not great. Wouldn't really go back.

All flare, no flavour.. And that's for both food and drink. Service wasn't the best either.

Die Bedienung war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Das Essen war sehr lecker, reichlich und wurde rasch serviert. Der Kaffee hatte leider kein Muster im Schaum. Sehr empfehlenswertes Restaurant.

Don't eat the tongue in the french kiss! Hahaha. Fantastic bar. The drinks are extremely entertaining. I'm not really one for spending on this type of thing but I was thoroughly impressed. The snacks were also delicious. Thanks for a fabulous night.

Have always wanted to come here and popped in one Saturday afternoon. The cocktails themselves were lovely and I was surprised by how reasonably priced they were. However, the barman was possibly the most miserable barman I have ever met. It wasn’t just us, every single person next to us at the bar commented on how miserable and unfriendly he was. He wasn’t the only one, all of the staff looked and acted as miserable as sin.. obviously not a fun place to work was our interpretation.. My advice.. If you’re going to work with the public, smile once in a while.

I went to Groucho club for the Frieze festival after party. It was such an amazing experience to be able to get in, the music was great, and the drinks were very nice. However, I was surprised at the organisation of the event. We arrived 45minutes after the start of the event and had to wait over an hour to get in to a ticketed event, as it was already full! I thought this was very odd considering the club should have already had numbers. The drinks were very expensive too. Apart from that, really great night!

Preto Queensway provided an unforgettable dining experience for our family. The unlimited meat option was a highlight, with a continuous flow of expertly grilled cuts that were simply delicious. The buffet was also impressive, offering a variety of fresh and flavorful options. While the food was exceptional, we did encounter a slight hiccup with the drinks service. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for our drinks to arrive. However, this minor issue didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of our meal. Overall, we would highly recommend Preto Queensway for a memorable family dinner. The quality of the meat, the variety of the buffet, and the friendly atmosphere make it a fantastic choice for those seeking a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.
