The food was awesome, we had the pork enchilada special. Service team seemed a little stressed but it was slammed so understanding. Great atmosphere before GD60!

Amazing low-key and attentive service. Mixology on the top level and

Nice bar. But pls turn the heat up, and let’s normalize providing service to the customers at the tables, not only at the bar counter. Just to justify the 20% tip that everyone expects in the US. Might be a good opportunity to upsell while bussing 🤗

Waitress with the dark hair was unwelcoming and super rude. Don’t spend your hardworking money here.

Delicious drinks with amazing service. Michael was able to create a fantastic cocktail for my spouse. Between Michael and the cocktails, there is no reason to go anywhere else.

We live in the Inner Richmond, and were excited to hear about the Alembic being just a short walk away over on Haight.

Immediately as we stepped in off Haight we were surprised. Despite the fairly nondescript exterior, the inside was very classy with a beautiful wooden bar and black tin ceiling.

The drinks were excellent! I started with the Night Market while my partner started with the Golden Child. The Night Market was super effervescent, and provided a nice punch with the cucumber, chili, and lemongrass coming together to linger on the palette nicely after each sip. The Golden Child was very interesting also, with a softer and subtler flavor profile.

For the second round, I got the Playground Love while my partner got the Blue Velvet. The Blue Velvet had a nice rounded blueberry taste, but the Playground Love was my favorite of the night. I was pleasantly surprised at how forward the milk tea flavor came through, and the pistachio and rhubarb provided a nice rounded flavor as well.

With how good the cocktails were, we are now really interested in checking out one of their mixology classes. We'll be back to get the summer cocktails again before they're gone!

Loved this place, upscale hole in the wall vibe. Drinks were creative and good, albeit a bit small. The food was very good for bar food. I had the vegan (house made patty) burger and was very satisfied. Chips were good and everything else at the table looked delicious. If I lived in the neighborhood I’d hang out here all the time.
