Reviews The Alchemist Canary Wharf

I turned up here thinking I had a table booking, only to realize that it was at a different branch (my own fault). However the staff provided us with a table and accommodated us. So this was a good start to our evening, we ordered few different drinks from the menu, loved the way the waiter brought them out and did the demo. Some of the cocktails were good whilst others were on, I suppose everyone has a different taste. The food was great 3 of us ordered the Korean burger while the 4th dish was a chicken in flat bread. All were amazing tasty. We also had a few starters, the dough balls were cool as you had to inject your own cheese into it...something I've never seen before. All in all very good experience and I would recommend it if someone is looking for a unique experience in drinking cocktails with a bite.

The Alchemist is an absolute classic in cocktail bars. The one in Canary Wharf is very nice, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was nice to sit outside in the sun and enjoy some refreshing and dramatic cocktails. Typical for The Alchemist you get a wide variety of cocktails including classic cocktails and also their own versions. Some come with lights, dry ice or all kinds of extras and props. Amazing experience. It was also nice when you order at the bar and watch the experienced bartender made all the cocktails, a good part of the whole "show". One little negative thing is that the waiting staff needs improvement, waitresses chatting between each other while there was people waiting to be served. Seemed like some waitresses didn't know the table numbers and walked around confused with plates of food, asking each table if the order is theirs. Overall it was very nice experience and well done to our bartender for the amazing cocktails.

We dined here last night and it was a lovely experience! Cocktails The cocktails are just amazing. The drinks were just under &15 each but the experience you get with them, it’s worth the money. Food The prawns for starters were delicious! We chose chicken in a basket for mains and paid the extra £1 for hot and spicy glaze. The chicken was so salty that I couldn’t eat it which was a shame, but the chips and coleslaw were nice. When asked how my meal was, when the plates were being cleared, I explain that the chicken was too salty to eat, hence why i had left it. This was met with a defensive response by the waitress, sadly. She told me that it’s probably because I ordered the hot and spicy glaze and said because I didn’t tell her to begin with (even though I was never asked), there was nothing she could do about it. Due to this defensive and unapologetic response, I marked down the service. If the waitress had just apologised for the food not being edible, I would have marked the service as 5 star. Shame. The place is worth a visit for the cocktails, most definitely. I must say, other people’s food around me did look lovely, so maybe I was just unlucky on this occasion. For 2, our bill came to £140 - included 1 starter, 2 mains and 3 cocktails each.

Get the cauliflower. It’s amazing! Almost all the appetizers we had were great. Drinks were t inventive and delicious.

Their cocktails are AH-MAZING! The best I’ve had in a few places I’ve been to in London. I like that they have small bites you can have with drinks and they’re filling. You can easily drink a minimum 3 cocktails. The service is good, the waiters are beautiful and polite.

Great place to enjoy elaborated cocktails 🍹🍸 , bartenders are doing good job and there is a plenty of selections to choose. We were having couple of drinks before dinner with colleagues, food is good not as fancy as cocktails but staff is diligent and friendly. Great place to enjoy a quality time.

Such a great place with nice cocktails! We managed to get a table last minute on a Friday which was a miracle, the place got packed 10 minutes after. Fun cocktails, I recommend going to the bar and watch the bar staff making them! Otherwise I’m sure you would miss some of the “magic”. I highly recommend!
