The Alchemist almost has the perfect formulation. I really like The Alchemist. While it's location isn't ideal (for me) as it's not close to places I frequent, the super cute interior and FREE parking help to make up for it.

A few tweaks and the opportunity to customize cocktails will push this beautiful space much closer to that coveted 5-stars. read more
