Good local bar. The bluepoint beer is great (when they have it) and martinis quite good. Small bites options are a bit limited -- ie food to snack on when drinking. But broader menu is decent. Garden is great.

Charming little tavern, friendly service, fun brunch menu, and a very impressive French Martini đ¸ But they really had me at their Sticky toffee pudding . Winning, Alchemy!

I wasnât shown to my table, the bartender just gestured vaguely toward the back of the restaurant and the very kind gentleman bussing the tables showed me my seat AND poured a water for me. The waitress took 10 minutes to even ask me for a drink order. It took an additional 10ish minutes to get my drink. Once I had both my food and drink I was not checked on once in the hour I was there eating, which was interesting because the waitress clearly had enough time to check on other tables and chat with patrons at the bar. For the prices they charge there the service is not only inadequate, itâs appalling.

A friend recommended Alchemy and I have to admit I was worried because of some negative reviews that I read before going but I'm glad to report that in my experience, none of that was true.
They do get busy when there are events at Barclay's center and it was on a Friday night ( 11/7/25) that we went but the staff was able to manage everything nicely.
The vibe was nice, the service was great, the staff were attentive , the drinks were good and the food was great. I had the calamari, it was really good. I highly recommend the hanger steak with the mash and sauteed kale, it was very delicious.
We tried their sticky stout pudding for dessert and enjoyed it , they also make a great and I mean great cappuccino. I will definitely visit again.

The food and drinks are delicious! I had the crispy artichoke salad which was also delicious (forgot to take a picture), highly recommend the hanger steak. I will definitely go back to try their other items.

This place was disappointing. We came for the backyard brunch and vegan menu options. The backyard was visually appealing with a lovely arched pergola and plenty of seating but the kitchen fan is soooo loud it killed the ambiance. It was a beautiful day and no one was outside. You have to raise your voice to be heard over it. We moved inside happy to have a menu with a vegan brunch option. Unfortunately that fell flat too. I had ordered scrambled tofu with spinach and mushrooms, onion and tomatoes. What I got was cubed tofu with spinach, onions and peppers. The tofu was not scrambled and was minimally seasoned making my brunch bland and unpalatable. I left more than half of my food on the plate and filled up on French fries. It was pretty to look at but had no flavor even with hot sauce. Is it too much to ask for vegan food that has flavor? Told the waitress my foodâs was not as ordered she apologetically gave me my iced coffee on the house. The iced coffee was good,nice and strong. The Bloody Mary wasnât bad either. My partner, an omnivore, said his food was ok but nothing he was excited about. I doubt weâll return any time soon. We both left unsatisfied.

Probably one of the worst experiences Iâve ever had. We went to meet up with some long time friends. Itâs crazy because Iâve been there before and Iâve had a pleasant experience. But this time was off, the red head female server was very rude and not friendly. She had an attitude since I arrived. Once I received my food I simply asked the bartender for more ketchup and mayo and asked if he could kindly get the server. He told me âshe will come when she is readyâ. I was appalled by his response and immediately I was ready to leave. My husband decided that her service was not acceptable and left her a $1 tip. She then proceeded to chase us out and yell that he didnât pay the full bill, he did. She asked why and he explained to how she acted and how rude the male bartender was to me. She also chased us down the street and recorded us, we WILL not be back and as a person of color I was truly offended. Please avoid this place at all cost. She did not treat her white customers like this. Please avoid if you are a person of color.

I am a hardworking Teacher and today during my break I decided to call in and pick up I want to emphasize that I picked up my lunch. I drove to this location from crown heights. My coworker asked for an extra garlic aioli and he explained that he usually charges but would ask the question to put it on the side. When receiving I bill we did not tip because once again we did not stay, it was a pick up orders. The bartender who was also the white male that greeted us and gave us the sauce was extremely upset that we did not tip him. I have never in life picked up an order and was harassed or made to feel bad for not tipping for a pick up order that I drove to get! He aggressively told us that we donât know about the service industry and that he got us free sauce. We were in so much shock and offered to pay for the side of sauce. This was a horrible experience and unfortunately we will no longer be eating here again or doing any further business. This was a restaurant I suggested to my job, to use for catering now that will never happen! Horrible horrible experience you should be ashamed of yourself. Tips are not mandatory and especially for a pick up order! Very bold and disgraceful I will be posting my review on all platforms.

We had a few beers here. The waitress kept bothering us (ha rotto i coglioni tutto il tempo) the whole time, asking if we wanted more drinks and making an annoyed face (faccia da stronza) while listening to our conversation. In the end, she demanded a tip, even though she served the beers poorly with that miserable expression on her face (faccia da povera cogliona). Sono dei poveri coglioni maleducati.
