The Alchemist

What an amazing experience, came here for a date night and it was extremely cozy and exactly what we were looking for and been needing in Staten Island. Will definitely be coming back

A cocktail bar with great drinks and pretty good pricing! My major concern is the oil smell. The place wreaked of oil and I left smelling like a cheesesteak restaurant. If that was fixed, I’d be back much quicker. Service was great as well! Otherwise, deserves 5 stars for sure & I’ll be back at some point- hopefully with some pleasant smells 🤣

We came around 11pm on a Friday night -- so pleasantly surprised by the cozy vibe, attentive service and excellent drinks!

Fun experience, great drinks! But you should arrive later in the night (around 10PM) because otherwise it’s pretty dead

I love this lounge, the middle eastern setting is perfect for setting a romantic and sexy vibe. The cocktail menu is unique and well thought out. I love the souls of the world, a smokey bourbon, that makes me warm inside lol The appetizers menu is also very well put together. Their playlist is a whole vibe! Everything from soca to reggae, old school stuff. The lounge feels super cozy and romantic, but also modern and classy. I love this place when I'm in Staten Island.

PERFECT DATE NIGHT SPOT!! Omg loved it. Romantic and fun, I think this is the perfect lounge to pop in for a quick drink or stay for a few rounds and food, there’s something for everyone. I appreciate that you wouldn’t look out of place more dressy or more casual, it’s really just a chill spot. I can’t wait to have my next girls night here :)

Such a cozy and intimate place, great for a date! Lychee martini was great as well as the espresso martini. We’ll be back! Btw industry night would be highly recommended so us neighborly bartenders can come after work. 😊

Just threw a surprise birthday party for my husband here and we had an amazing time!!! Katia was so accommodating and communicative throughout the entire process. The space is so intimate and vibey and the bartenders are so friendly. The drinks were of the same caliber of a city speakeasy and the decor was also. Highly recommend as a venue for private parties from my experience, we will definitely be back!

The cocktails are AMAZING. Hands down, the most delicious combination of flavors with super attentive and knowledgeable bartenders who are willing to work with your taste pallet to get you THE cocktail you will love. The atmosphere is beautiful and very well decorated, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Although the food menu is limited, the food is so good-there is a variety of appetizers which my husband and I tried, but the tuna tartare was our favorite. The bartenders and staff were super friendly, attentive, and it was easy to feel like you are at a friend's house who is making you the best cocktails you have ever had. This is not a dinner spot, but if you don't want to end your night and enjoy some good drinks and apps, I highly recommend. Perfect for a first date or the hundreds date.

Amazing bar! Service was fantastic, super attentive and talented bartenders. Great cocktail and ambiance. Coming back!

A superb cocktail bar that has a medley of drinks, ambiance of an intimate speakeasy, and music that makes it a modern date spot.

This place is a hidden gem. I dont want to review because I want to keep it to myself, but people should know. This is a very humble, quiet, low key cocktail lounge you can take a first date too. Its the Clydez of staten island. Unique cocktails, with a fun environment designed for you to genuinely talk and get to know your company. Best cocktail lounge on staten island, and I lived in 7 states and 1 other country. At the same time the bartenders are humble cool people. Great vibes!

Our server really knew what he was doing and what to recommend. Some are à bit sweet but the lychee drink (bartenders choice) was perfectly mixed and garnished. Beautiful setup with games to pass time as well

More theme nights. Burlesque show, magic show, jazz night. More attentive service. As someone who enjoys this place and works in the industry. I would love to see yall succeed.

I will say I’m slightly disappointed by my experience here. I swear this place looks better on social media. The staff was kind but it wasn’t as “upscale” as it appears online. The food was ok, didn’t appear to be made in house, slightly overpriced and nothing special. Cocktail was good but something was missing from this place. Bar chairs, super uncomfortable. Wish I kept the pics to post here.

I’ve been here a couple times alone and with friends we all agree the drinks are good and the service is great however, we wish there were more food options, like add all day brunch on sundays I would come every week for that

Marianne Sabella

So very disappointed. Really wanted to like this place. It’s small but very cute. We were 2 people we ordered espresso martinis, for some strange reason they came in different glasses which i thought was odd…tasted watery, maybe premade not a drop of espresso, and couldn’t taste any alcohol at all….worst espresso martinis i have ever had….we wanted dessert but out of the 4-5 items on the menu all they had to offer was Baklava, it was terrible. Tasted burnt and stale…very disappointing experience.

Server rushed us out when their friends walked in and needed a table and told us the table had a reservation. Charged for drinks we didn’t receive and rushed out. I wasn’t even able to finish the drink I just received and still had to pay for it. Thrown off

I have never written a google review in my life, but I had such a bad experience here I had to be heard. We rented the upstairs space for tge - $108 pp for 55 people, so $6,000 for the night. We had one bartender to serve 55 people, and serving us ‘Aristocrat’ vodka and tequila which costs $6.99 per bottle. After waiting in line for an hour for a drink at an open bar we paid for, we went downstairs to try to get a drink there. The hostess was not helpful and said we had to wait because the bartender was 10-15 drinks behind. I then asked to speak with the owner and was just told the owner is not there - mind you this is TGE, one of the busiest nights of the year. We finally got our drinks after being downstairs for another hour, and were charged full price without any consideration for the open bar we paid for. Place seemed mismanaged and staff was unfriendly - besides the bartender Mike, he was doing all he could. To complete the experience, the bar looked unsanitary and the cocktail shakers were all being reused without being properly washed. Do not recommend coming here, just wish they had handled the situation better and we got what we paid for.
