Came here for the 3rd time. The first time was okay cocktails were good staff was nice. Second time I ordered the ranch water and it came in a cute topo chico bottle. Not the best cocktail but the presentation made up for it and the staff was friendly. Third time I came here I ordered the ranch water again and this time it comes in a glass. I was here with my significant other and I say “we will just take a ranch water “ (thought it was clear i was just ordering one , my SO wasn’t drinking). The waitress comes back with 2 ranch waters. We choose not to make a fight and just accept the drinks. We take a sip and they are not good, too strong of a taste of bad tequila. After 5 mins it is not worth it to consume the alcohol/calories of this drink and the bar was completely empty so we decide to just leave. In comparison, Bangers was hosting their OktoberFest event which was a much more fun atmosphere. We go inside to pay the tab and I inform the waitress that we did not like our drinks and that the drink was prepared differently than the last time I came. She says “I’m so sorry, here’s your check” and that “each bartender prepared the drinks differently” (which should not be the standard …..). If it is a cocktail on your menu at an establishment with a liquor license, each bartender should not be preparing the cocktails differently. We gave this place another chance because the cocktails were okay last time but we will not be going back. 2 terrible drinks for $40, recommend to go across the street to Bangers where you can get 4 great ciders with live music and entertainment for $31. Yes, each terrible drink was $16!!!!! Crazy and definitely not worth your money.

I was there for a Mimosa event and had a great time. The DJ was on point, and the service was phenomenal.

Was a Thursday evening so not too busy.
Few people at the bar and music were decent.
Bartenders were trying to make new drinks so got to taste a couple new experimental ones.
The drinks we ordered were ok but not really worth the price.

The Alchemist is a standout in Austin's bar scene—elegant, refined, and perfect for a chic date night. The drinks are well crafted, with every detail thoughtfully considered, from the stunning presentation to the impeccable service. The crowd is well-dressed, enhancing the vibe. This isn’t your typical bar; it's a luxurious escape where quality and style reign supreme. A must-visit for those who appreciate the finer things in Austin.

We are here right now and service has been excellent! Plus great view of the street and free popcorn with tajin, can’t ask for a better place to be. First time here and we will definitely be back!

Happened across this gem while wandering alone while waiting for the kids at a convention. Bartenders are fantastic. If you're looking for cheap sugar ridden college drink, this is not for you. If you enjoy true crafted cocktails come here instead of the sea of other spots along this street. And liquid nitrogen glass swirls at the start of every drink is just fun.

Great vibe for young groups. Comfortable seating. Lively. Drinks are excellent and servers are wonderful. Not a quiet spot for older folks.
