Alchemy Spirits & Concoctions

Would be nice to know there is a rule against shorts before driving an hour to come here, especially considering I've been here before and seen shorts inside on multiple occasions. We were turned away at the door. They can keep the overpriced liquor and we will keep our money... have been here multiple times, but im positive tonight was my last visit.

alchemy is really cool to check out but i couldn't see myself going there very much, more like a once or twice a year kind of thing. it's a fun place to dress up and go to but the drinks are pretty pricey.

I was in town visiting a friend and she suggested we go to Alchemy. I'm not a huge fan of just going to a bar, but this was a completely different experience. She made a reservation ahead of time and was called the day of the reservation with our password. We arrived a little early and had to wait a few minutes before our seats were ready, which was fine. The host and all the bartenders were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were seated at the bar and it was fun to watch the bartenders make the various concoctions. The Prohibition Punch was really good - nice and light without being overly sweet. We also had a taste of the French Mojito and it was also tasty.

Alchemy has a very sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere, which was perfect for a night out to catch up with an old friend. Their rules are also great - at one point we were approached by a bartender telling us that some gentlemen would like to send us drinks. We politely declined because we were driving, but it was very nice not to have to deal with that directly.

My only complaint is that I wish they served some kind of bar food. It doesn't have to be a whole menu, but a little something to snack on would make the experience complete.
