A modern bar/restaurant: A celebration of the unconventional, dark and controversial! Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Newcastle was the original frontier of the Roman world, mixing civilisation with the dangerous and exotic lands beyond, making it a perfect site for our own blend of dark, mysterious concoctions.
Visited here tonight for our 34th wedding anniversary. Staff and service is give 6/5. Really friendly and knowledgeable about food and drinks. Food was amazing, only down side was the steak was a bit tough and chewy but not enough to complain. Maybe we should have asked for it cooked more. I'd really recommend the sharing starter to anyone. Also got a nice hip flask with my drink to keep.
The food is great, offering a diverse menu that accommodates various dietary restrictions. Prices are reasonable, striking a good balance. It has a diverse menu that allows for different dietary restrictions but you can call ahead if you have any problems. The atmosphere leans towards a clubby vibe, with energetic music setting the tone. It’s great for drinks with friends, but keep in mind that the loud music might make conversations a bit challenging. If you’re looking for a lively spot to socialize, The Alchemist fits the bill.
Start the night of with nibbles of seaweed crisps and honey popcorn. Trying seaweed crisps for the first time they were nice and popcorn is normal. Next was starters of pork bon bons and a bed of hot apple sauce and chicken parcels. Both were very nice and just the right size for a starters. Mains of steak with mushroom. Steak was a bit small in size for the price of the meal, but the flavours were really good so that helped and came out cooked just right the first time. Last was puddings of browni and churros with chocolate sauce really nice. Meal came with 2 drinks each aswel, which was a glass of champagne and 2 oyster cocktails. Overall, really great night and food was nice overall, but slightly overpriced service was great. Stayed for more cocktails in the bar area where service was great and music was good.
Spicy prices same as the cocktails but we loooove it . Cocktails menu and idea area realy great 🤪🙂 really appreciated the fact that they change the menu and drinks menu quite often. Lovely atmosphere and nice staff, clean & organised place, the location is a big plus ➕️ 😀
Went for Brunch at £30pp food was reasonably good but with 3 cocktails included the food is essentially a freebie. Stayed for extra drinks it was so good even although there were a few items on the menu we ordered and they didn't have in stock, was overall one of the best drinking experiences I've had in my life, definitely more fun than sitting in a noisy bar and 100% will be back again.
