Glasgow to welcome mystical cocktail bar The Alchemist later this year

Glasgow will be welcoming a new mystical-chemistry-themed bar this autumn in one of the city's most prominent locations.

The Alchemist, which describes itself as a 'true master in dark arts and molecular mixology with theatre and immersive experiences at its core', will be opening at George Square in October following a £1.6 million investment.

A total of 80 new jobs will be created through the huge opening which will feature 220 covers internally and a further 40 outdoor seats.

The Alchemist opened in Edinburgh last year but will now be bringing its 'mystical theatre served' offering to the heart of the city.

The creative cocktail bars and restaurants can also be found across the UK in cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Cheltenham, Oxford, Nottingham and Cardiff.

Bosses say the Glasgow venue will be a bit different from their Edinburgh offering with the introduction of 'four key experiential spaces which will create a new cosmic, hyperlocal Alchemist'.

Jenny McPhee, Brand Director, said: ‘When we opened our Edinburgh venue, we knew we would feel right at home in Scotland. It was inevitable that we set our sights on a second venue north of the border.”

“Glasgow is a cultural and creative hub and we’re excited to bring our immersive drinking and dining experience to the heart of the city.”
