The Alchemist Bar — Restaurant in Prague

This is a great bar in concept, but the execution fails pretty badly.

The pros? Lovely table service. The servers and hostess there were very nice. The menu is intense and really fun to read through. The interior design is also really on point for the theme. The space definitely gives a "theme-bar" vibe and that's not always a bad thing. Everyone there seems to be enjoying themselves.

The cons? It takes forever to get a drink. Bad bar service. I mean... a very long time. It seemed like the bartenders just wandered away half the time. But worse? The cocktails are bad. I normally don't say that, but here unfortunately they are amateur and just glasses of sweetness and juice. Weird combinations of flavours that don't match. We tried two, and immediately had to return them. Undrinkable. The server was super apologetic and offered to change them for something else, which we did. Again, they were awful. But since we had now tried 4 and disliked all of them, we didn't want to be annoying and order another. I felt bad for the server who was trying her best to make us happy. Instead, I decided to just try to drink the two we had on the table, and my partner would order just a vodka soda.

I know the menu is trying to be creepy and edgy, but I would seriously think of renaming some of the drinks. I can't put what they're called here but nobody wants to see such terrible things as names of cocktails.

We stayed for that drink, and by the time we were done, the place had emptied out completely.

It's not a place we'd return to based solely on the awful cocktails alone. I don't even mind waiting a while for a drink if it's really good. But waiting a long time for something that is basically unpalatable to me is something I don't...

I rarely post reviews even when I have a bad experience, but my experience in this bar was absolutely horrible. We were sat at the bar, but a table close to us freed up and we moved (which I get it it's annoying on a Saturday evening, but a couple next to us was eyeing the table and we came to the bar first), the waiter said "ask next time" and we apologized profusely. As he was cleaning the table my partner asked if we could get some water to begin with and his answer was "wait, I'm not an octopus". Then 2 minutes after getting the menu he came to ask for our order, my partner said that we need a few more minutes, but we're ready for the water. His response was "I heard you the first time" in a very rude tone. The cocktails were ok, but way too sweet (my partner asked for something similar to whiskey sour and it was sweet as well). At this point I was feeling very uncomfortable and I just drank the cocktail as quick as possible and asked for the bill. We had to ask two waiters for the bill and we waited for a long time. I understand it was a Friday night, but I could see our waiter lighting candles and laughing with a co-worker as I was waiting with my coat on. When he finally came he hinted to the fact that the bill doesn't have a tip and honestly I was amazed by the audacity. I choose to believe that it didn't have anything to do with us being a gay couple or my partner not being white, but I heard him being very polite towards other guests which made me wonder... We went in because of the good reviews, but I honestly think the bar...
