The Alchemist Spinningfields

Time Out says

When the original branch in Spinningfields was launched back in 2010, it was immediately clear that The Alchemist was to become Manchester’s ultimate molecular heaven, winning hearts with both its intriguing drinks selection and a slick aesthetic, blending modernity with gentle reminders of bygone eras. And so it proved, with the Alchemist securing its place in the city’s cocktail scene with a distinctive, exciting approach to mixology - the booze here is a real party piece.

The Alchemist Spinningfields says
The original Alchemist, located on Hardman Street since 2010. Now with an ‘out of this world’ refurbishment for 2022, the venue has secured its place in the city’s cocktail scene with a distinctive, exciting approach to mixology – the concoctions here are a real party piece.

As a pioneer in the area, the venue offers a mix of food and drink from early mornings ‘til late night. Enjoy a weekend DJ set and late-night drinks tables and packages. Or enter this apothecary at brunch hours for mouth-watering dishes to fuel the day ahead. The venue truly transforms from day to night, mimicked by the beautiful light installations which set an electric tone for the late night - this is where you want to truly end up.

Chemistry and theatre are on the cocktail menu (literally) with guest favourites Cherry Poppins and The Colour Changing One. The former raspberry gin concoction arrives with a cherry infused fog bubble waiting to be released, whereas the latter lets you conjure your own magical potion transforming before your very eyes.

Choice is on the food menu with 44% plant-based options alongside both vegetarian and meat dishes. The Curried Fish is a highlight with a fragrant coconut curry sauce, snap peas, samphire, crispy noodles and jasmine rice. Or devour their signature Chicken In A Basket with buttermilk crispy pieces served with fries, coleslaw and Hickory BBQ sauce.

The Alchemist's world of theatre served promises super creative cocktails and devilish dishes.
