We ultimately had a good time visiting all three levels of Alquimico but it did start off a little rough when they told my friend he could not come in with a sleeveless shirt. The shirt was expensive and looked really stylish so it seemed a bit silly to us but, nonetheless, we went to a souvenir shop next door and bought a cheap t-shirt to meet their dress requirements. (This and the poor service on the third floor were the main reason to lower to 4). One other item of note, women were allowed in with a really random of assortment of tops with no problem so the dress code only apparently applies to men.

We went in and on the first floor we had the table of cheese along with a couple of drinks. The cheese assortment was delicious and the drinks were tasty as well. There was great reggaeton music playing. We asked to be transferred up to the second floor and were served by Esteban who was professional as well as friendly with us. We had a couple more apps here with drinks and asked the hostess to be transferred up to the third floor rooftop. The hostess on the second floor either didn’t know how to transfer our ticket or decided not to do it so we had to pay our bill and start over when we moved to the third floor.

The third floor was super active with louder music and was much warmer given it is outside. More of a dance vibe but the service was lacking. The waitress seemed indifferent to her job up there which was unfortunate given everyone else had done a great job up to that point. We had one drink and she never asked if we wanted another one so we decided to take off as it was starting to look like a thunderstorm was approaching.

Definitely a cool place to check out but be prepared for the dress code.
