Simon Potts, CEO, The Alchemist said: "Our St James Quarter venue has been so well received since opening in 2021, so we’re looking forward to welcoming the city to The Alchemist George Street.

"The two venues will complement each other perfectly, with the focus of the George Street venue being on the late-night drinking experience.
