The Alchemist Bar & Restaurant

The Alchemist, molecular mixology with an online store

The Alchemist is a chain of bars and restaurants that presents itself as a space dedicated to molecular mixology, alchemy and craftsmanship. Its online store, under the domain shop.thealchemistbars.com, sells products inspired by its cocktail menu and its brand identity.

The store's catalogue

The store organises its offering into several categories: cocktails, cocktail books, beer and fizz, sharers, star sign prints, classic prints, cocktail prints and merch. It also offers gift cards and a corporate gifting section.

Featured products include a cocktail gift box with the house's most popular creations, which includes the Smokey Old Fashioned, and a book collection for £35.00. The store states that orders over £45 qualify for free shipping.

Cocktail delivery and events service

The website promotes a cocktail delivery service and an events hospitality offering, in which the company takes care of the mixology and the customer simply has to pour the drink over ice. The Cosmic Cocktails book offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktail recipes associated with each sign of the zodiac.

History and presence

According to information on the website itself, The Alchemist opened in 2010 in the Spinningfields business district of Manchester. Thirteen years later, the company reports that it has 23 locations across the UK and Europe.

Customer reviews

The store includes the testimonial of a customer from Manchester who highlights the taste of the cocktails, the packaging and the speed of delivery of an order purchased as a gift.
