New bar The Alchemist did not disappoint the people of Nottingham with their signature periodic table of cocktails and mouth-watering menu on Saturday, February 10.
The opening weekend was busier than expected with the restaurant being fully booked. And, is set to be fully booked for the next two upcoming weekends.
Built in the grade II listed building on 11 King Street – formerly the Hard Rock Cafe and Tropeiro – the trademark decor of copper interiors and unique artwork has been spread across the two floors, following their £1.65 million renovations.
A waitress from The Alchemist, 22, said: “Those from Nottingham have seen this beautiful building go through many changes and now it has been transformed.
I think this is the best bar, for not only Nottingham but the building itself, and I think it will only get more popular.”
The excitement around the opening of the bar and restaurant has been highly anticipated by both staff and members of the public.
