I had a great time at The Alchemist today, I was served by a young man named Kamari he was very friendly and he recommended me some really good rum based cocktails. Had a fun time and wonderful service. Definitely Recommend!

Exorbitantly poor and unmotivated service. We wanted to try another Alchemist after an excellent evening at the Alchemist in the Monument the night before. We were ignored as soon as we entered the bar. The member of staff cleaning the table next to us neither greeted us nor pointed out that only self-service was available at the bar. His colleague did so unkindly when asked.

Always a cool place selling amazing science-like cocktails

Amazing cocktails. A lot of effort and thought is put into each drink. Simply mesmerising to watch the trained and friendly staff work their magic on your drinks.

I love the alchemist, I personally prefer the one in Canary wharf, this one in covent garden is too hectic and noisy. The food and drinks are amazing

Don’t bother booking for bottomless brunch if you expect more than 3 drinks… Booked for a table of 10 for a joint 30th birthday. First off was told we could put up our tiny balloon and had to keep it under the table. We booked to start our bottomless brunch at 1pm. Was not even acknowledged by a waiter until 1:30. When we finally got the attention of a staff member who really didn’t look happy to be there. We waited 20 minutes for our first round of drinks. To then have to wait another 20 minutes to have our second order taken, to then wait a further half an hour to receive our second round of drinks… not really giving bottomless. We asked for water at the start and never received. We were sat round the back of the restaurant with many other full tables and once in a blue moon would see a staff member pop their head round and then quickly disappear. At least twice we had to get up from our table to find a waiter to take our order. the main waitress we had who was quite young would continuously stand with her back up against the wall near the entrance to the bathroom stairs avoiding all eye contact with any of the tables in her area. We asked to have our 90 minutes bottomless brunch extended as we were not happy with only receiving to cocktails by the time it was up. We then received 1 cocktail within the extra half an hour after complaining multiple times. After we had our food our dirty plates were left infront of us for 30-45 minutes when we tried to stack them ourselves to give us more room, the same waitress came over and basically told us off for doing so. Anytime we had a new drink brought over the empty glasses weren’t cleared so we had a lot of little pouring glasses that pared with some of the cocktails scattered over our table. So we thought it would be okay to just Neatly place them on a large plate standing upright so they wouldn’t be damaged. The waitress was not happy with this and showed this in her attitude, only then did she get her back off the wall and eyes off her phone to come clear our table. The waitress liked to remind me that it was a Saturday, even though it was early afternoon and really not that busy. I told her if you cannot keep up with the demand of a bottomless brunch then do not advertise or offer it. We ended up saying we will not be paying for bottomless brunch and will instead pay for the brunch and 3 cocktail deal as that is what we received. The waitress with a very emotionless face went to get her manager. The manager was friendly but that obviously doesn’t know how to manager her staff. We had back and forth with the receipt 3 times because they for one didn’t take the bottomless brunch charge off after agreeing with doing so. The second the didn’t take off the £110 deposit we had already paid. And the 3rd to remove the service charge as we badly received any service…. Paid and couldn’t wait to leave. The only upside was the food was decent. Huge shame about the lack of service and poor management. Worst bottomless brunch Iv been to.

Great drinks, on the pricey side but you are paying for the drink theatrics and service. Didn't try the food but had a good offering.

I popped in for a meal recently, and it was absolutely top-notch! Duval, our host, was fantastic—his food and cocktail recommendations were spot on, and the service was impeccable throughout. The food was superb, from the crispy onion rings to the delicious Katsu curry; everything was served quickly and tasted amazing. With a great atmosphere and well-crafted cocktails, I can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend this place for a lovely night out!

This is a fun spot, very busy had a table booked and table was ready on time. Drinks came to the table, food was a good flavour. Cute and quirky serving plates and cocktails. Great friendly service for Thursday drinks.

Came here for my best friend’s 21st birthday and Curtis B brought the vibes such a lovely guy Thank you ;)

Food was delicious but portions a bit small. The drinks were fun but some were very small. Staff was very friendly. Problem: only 1 server for all tables in the back. We had to wait long to order food and drinks, especially after ordering food. The service charge (30 pounds) was way too much for the lack of service.

I had my birthday dinner here with a lot of people and The Alchemist were just amazing. Staff were lovely and very helpful in what was a stressful situation with 14 people drinking, eating and celebrating but they all did it with a smile on their face. The Alchemist never fails to impress anyone I take to their restaurants. Thank you for giving me a great birthday!

Lovely friendly staff, service was good as lots of staff around doing various things. Food was great definitely loved it we had a selection of sides and starters to share 😋....music was loud so felt like we were shouting to speak to each other. Other than that great day.

The alchemist is always a vibe. In this particular location, the service can be iffy sometimes in my experience.

The best cocktails, even better service. we go to the alchemist a lot and Joseph went above and beyond to make this experience one of the best. Letting him choose our drinks, he killed it every time. Joseph now knows my drink preference better than my best friend! Run don't walk here....
