Bar Review – The Alchemist (Fitzroy VIC) – 1 Star

With beautiful plush suede couches and armchairs, soft lighting, and more curtains that you could draw, The Alchemist was a bar that I’d been intending to try out for a while. But before anyone else starts thinking the same, I’d recommend not. Drinks are expensive, so you’d expect something quite fancy at $18 for an Amaretto and Cherry Whisky Sour – not Johnnie Red, lemon, Galliano Amaretto, syrup from a jar of cherries, and a dash of milk – that, I could make at home. There are so many better places than The Alchemist on Brunswick St. I don’t think it’ll last.
