The Alchemist Newcastle

Came in for a glass of wine. That was early afternoon, place wasn't busy at all. I sat down at the bar and didn't get served or acknowledge for 15 mins. Bartender passed by twice, manager 3 times. On my way out I spotted same manager having a fag just next to main entrance. Music was nice tho, and lights pleasantly dimmed.

Great selection of cocktails and fast service

Really poor experience. The mochican clad bar tender was more interested in speaking to his friends and downing a shot than actually listening to what I wanted. He didn't offer an alternative when the cocktail my wife wanted wasn't available. Really poor service.

We went there on a Sunday night and it was quiet only a few tables taken. When we got in the staff member we had was attentive and the food was great and came quick and also made sure we were good for drinks. I think there must of been a change over of staff as after our mains were brought out the service changed and we were not really checked on and had to ask a couple of times for drinks. When we ordered one it took some time to come (I accept cocktails take a while but was about half an hour and Still only a few tables taken) and as we were walking up to pay the bill our drinks come. I've only been to the alchemist in Cardiff before on a busy Saturday and can only compare to that but was a little disappointed as we were looking forward to this - but it was not the same experience unfortunately.
