    Grammy!
    Carrie B.

    Wow!! Such a gem... not only an amazing drink but educational too. David made us our first ever old fashioned. And it was with rum. Entertaining to watch him prepare and he schooled us on the vast collection of gin and rum. Then we had the pleasure of meeting Z... he told us about rums we had never even heard of. And my husband is a rum guy! We tried many and stayed way longer than expected because of the great people and drinks here. Hands down one of our favorite experiences in the city. Oh- and if you see the turtle on the bar, please say hi to her from me. We affectionately named her Grammy as she seemed to be a new addition and wasn't named yet. Cheers!

    This is a hidden gem, off Bow. in an alley, downstairs. Wow, you find a world of Gin and Rum. Marie was our bartender. She expertly guided our tastes to the Gin I loved. Seek this place out if you need to tour the world of spirits

    If however you have the fortitude to find it, you wont be disappointed/ This rum and gin bar is something of a time warp.

    The Alchemist was literally at the bottom of our Airbnb, making it incredibly convenient--and I'm…read moreso glad we stopped in. The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

    Excellent place! My fish and chips were cooked perfectly and crispy. Drinks were excellent. My…read moresmoked old fashions went down great as did my brothers rum drink that had dry ice and a shot from a small syringe. Service was very quick and attentive.
