The Alchemist DC
The Alchemist DC is a cocktail bar at 1334 U St NW on the U Street corridor. It holds a 4.5-star Google rating across 350 reviews.
Reviewers focus on inventive, visually dramatic cocktails, many involving smoke, with a butterscotch drink and a pear cocktail singled out. The decor leans fantasy, with dragon heads, maps and swords. Reviewers say it is small, so reservations are strongly suggested, and that no food is served. Some found the drinks worth it, while one Google highlight suggests regular cocktails elsewhere are better value, and one guest found it louder than expected.
Closed Monday and Tuesday. Open 5 PM–12 AM Wednesday and Sunday and 5 PM–2 AM Thursday through Saturday. Reviewers mention a happy hour.
