A mystical-chemistry themed bar is set to open its doors in Edinburgh next month.
The Alchemist will open its first-ever Scottish bar and restaurant next month in the capital's new St. James Quarter.
The site is set to become a must-visit in the centre of Edinburgh and will be offering a 'mystical apothecary of theatrical drinks alongside all-day casual dining '.
Located within the largest development Edinburgh has seen for a decade at St. James Quarter, customers will enter the huge 170-cover space via a lobby featuring star sign projections before an immersive elevator experience to the fourth floor.
The Alchemist's creative cocktail bars and restaurants can already be found across the UK including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Cheltenham, Oxford, Nottingham and Cardiff but this new opening will mark the brand's first ever Scottish site.
Opening at the end of October, 60 new employees will join The Alchemist team in Edinburgh, who will all be fully trained in the 'dark art of molecular mixology'.
Jenny McPhee, Brand Director, said of the opening: “From ancient alchemists to modern mystics, Edinburgh’s association with alchemy spans thousands of years and the city has long been described as a hotbed for spirituality - what better place to open our first Scottish site?
“We know we’re going to feel right at home here and look forward to welcoming Scots seeking an unconventional drinking and dining experience to The Alchemist Edinburgh at St. James Quarter.”
Next month, The Alchemist is set to announce details of brand partnerships exclusive to the Edinburgh site, which will bring a series of firsts to the city’s cocktail scene.
