The Alchemist is famous for their creative cocktails and delicious dining. Experience their decadent ICONS Cocktail Brunch, available every weekend.

Cocktails are created with an obsessive eye for detail, presented in mystical vessels delivering theatre for every guest. The bartenders know how to put on a show and guarantee to charm and entertain.

Try the guest favourite 'Colour Changing One' where you conjure the drink by mixing yourself and watch the liquid change from blue to pink before your very eyes. Or try the show-stopping Cherry Poppins. This gin-based cocktail is served with a cherry fog bubble ready for you to burst and release its aromas. It's a scientific lab waiting to be discovered.

The food is special too with a menu served from breakfast until late evening. The menu is an eclectic mix of classic dishes with an Alchemist twist. Favourites include Katsu Curry, Smoking Boards, Curried Fish and Steak.

Brought you to in perfect time for the summer, The Alchemist have brought back their OG, iconic cocktails creations with their Icons Brunch. From the tropical solero, smoke-infused paloma or the fruity peaches and cream, all with a cosmic, disco twist, choose three cocktails and any brunch dish.

Located on George Street in Edinburgh's New Town, The Alchemist is not far from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station.

    They have done a good job with the decor and setting of this bar. It was odd walking in to find it completely dead, although it was a Wednesday night. We were served promptly and although friendly, our server came across a bit short. The cocktails themselves were as expected. Visually appealing but on the sweet side which I find detracts a bit from the spirit(s) in the drink itself. Overall, it was a fairly average experience with some memorable drinks.

    First thing that drew me in with this place was the amazing playlist of music (90/2000 dancehall), but then came the food which was super delicious. The wife and I had two bloody marys and a full vegetarian /vegan breakfast, serving size was great and really tasty. Big recommend.

    Lovely place with fantastically presented unique cocktails. Their cosmic oyster shots (photo attached) were my personal favourite. But the best part was the staff. They were so welcoming and constantly checked in on us to see how we liked the drinks or if we needed anything more and even suggested cocktails based on our preferences and we were not disappointed.
