We know it can be tricky to find the right location for an important event - be it a work social, networking brunch, or a large birthday celebration. The capital is packed with venues, all vying for attention. But if you’re looking for a spot with stunning interiors, a crowd-pleasing menu, and memorable cocktails, we’ve got just the ticket.
Just minutes from Aldgate Station, The Alchemist Bevis Marks event venue is a truly impressive location packed with theatre, curiosity and intrigue. It is best known for its theatrical tendencies, largely in the realm of molecular mixology and dramatic presentation. Think colour changing drinks, bubbling Tanqueray and blueberry concoctions, and bruleed cognac creations.
Featuring achingly on-trend copper accents (including a wrap-around copper bar), Gothic-styled prints, and warming amber lighting, events at The Alchemist can take on an almost other-worldly character. Plus, with a capacity of approximately 75 guests spread across high-top tables, bar stools, and banquette seating it’s well suited to social and networking events. If your event is smaller, you can also enquire about the semi-private back room.
Every step of the way you’ll have an experienced team on hand to ensure your vision is realised exactly how you imagine. That includes the kitchen team. The menu features elevated modern European dishes, often with East Asian influences. Dishes have included small nibbles such as cream cheese stuffed piquante peppers, salt and pepper edamame beans, and jalapeno and parmesan doughnuts. And if you’re planning for something more substantial before the jaw-droppingly inventive cocktails, consider the selection of sharing plates, nachos, flatbreads and burgers.
If you’re hosting an event at The Alchemist, you can guarantee there’s something on the menu for everyone. That goes for the drinks selection too, the mixology maestros are practically magicians, able to cater to almost every taste.
