The Alchemist is famous for their creative cocktails and delicious dining. Experience their decadent ICONS Cocktail Brunch, available every weekend.

Cocktails are created with an obsessive eye for detail, presented in mystical vessels delivering theatre for every guest. The bartenders know how to put on a show and guarantee to charm and entertain.

Try the guest favourite 'Colour Changing One' where you conjure the drink by mixing yourself and watch the liquid change from blue to pink before your very eyes. Or try the show-stopping Cherry Poppins. This gin-based cocktail is served with a cherry fog bubble ready for you to burst and release its aromas. It's a scientific lab waiting to be discovered.

The food is special too with a menu served from breakfast until late evening. The menu is an eclectic mix of classic dishes with an Alchemist twist. Favourites include Katsu Curry, Smoking Boards, Curried Fish and Steak.

Brought you to in perfect time for the summer, The Alchemist have brought back their OG, iconic cocktails creations with their Icons Brunch. From the tropical solero, smoke-infused paloma or the fruity peaches and cream, all with a cosmic, disco twist, choose three cocktails and any brunch dish, with the option of making drinks bottomless for ninety minutes for just £10 extra!

Perfectly located overlooking Canalside in Gunwharf Quays, and within strolling distance of the magnificent Spinnaker Tower, The Alchemist Portsmouth is just a short walk from Portsmouth Harbour Station.

    Such a great place. Great tasting cocktails and great atmosphere. Adam is the most insane bartender I've ever seen. He's super quick and efficient and memorises orders with ease (we literally ordered 8 different cocktails and he was straight on it and I wasn't waiting for long at all). Fantastic bartender with great skill and amazing service. Lovely place to come for drinks. Don't expect it to be cheap because the quality is always going to put the price up and the quality is amazing.

    I've wanted to visit The Alchemist for a couple of years now due to it's unique atmosphere. It is easy to say that the place and drinks were impressive. Every drink is uniquely delivered and while not all the drinks I ordered were for my taste (due to personal preferences), I can easily say that I enjoyed most of the drinks I had. The cocktails on the light side of the menu are especially great and a good choice if you don't like the strong taste of alcohol. The unique manner in which all drink is served is what makes the place truly unique. I want to especially thank the Asian bartender who made all of our drinks during our visit and was very patient with me as I learned how to correctly drink each of the drinks I ordered. I would totally recommend the place.

    It was an unforgettable evening! I want to thank everyone from the Alchemist team, you guys are professionals in your field! Great atmosphere, delicious food. I had a unique opportunity to see a cocktail master class, Frankie showed magic and I was lucky to see it, the emotions are indescribable, it was a wonderful interactive show. I definitely recommend visiting this place, it's worth it.
