Atmosphere of this place is outstanding while the drink is interesting. Didn't get to try any food as the kitchen has already closed and everything is self serve and self order at the bar. The drink was a bit messy as it is nearly impossible to carry.

Nice location on top of the shopping centre, with indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely views over Oxford and the cathedral spires. We had to wait for a good 15 mins before being served at the bar, and there were only 2 people ahead of us. I guess the problem with fancy cocktails is that they take ages to make! The drinks themselves were ok, but at £15 a cocktail, they definitely weren't worth it. Especially when they try to ask for a tip too! We won't return

This is much more than a cocktail bar. We had lunch here and it was outstanding. Starters, mains and desserts were all top quality. Reasonably priced. Great service thanks Rhodri! The interior is nicely laid out, comfy chairs and benches. Great view of the Oxford roof tops.

This place is truly wonderful. The customer service is consistently top-notch, and you rarely have to wait in line. The staff treats everyone really well, and the food is of excellent quality. I particularly noticed the absence of the 'gin bug' cocktail on their menu – it's a must-try!

You can tell how good a cocktail bar is by the standard of the simple, classic cocktails. Came in for a mojito on my birthday and was so disappointed. It wasn't even muddled with lime (that's pretty indispensable part of how are you make one), just a small slice added with some skinny, slightly Browning mint. They use sugar syrup. There wasn't really any point in complaining because they were just remake me another one exactly the same way.The bar staff are all wearing grubby trainers, watched one of them stand on the shelf where the glasses go (on the black rubber mat) to reach the display shelf. Plenty of managers and other staff around so presume this is fairly normal for their hygiene practices. Two stars because it's an attractive venue.

Went with a big group and were catered for three courses. The starters vegetarian gyoza was ok and the katsu curry had some rice thay were under cooked which was not nice. The next level brownie on the other hand was incredible!! Although each courses took quite a lot of time overall the service speed was adequate.The issue was the fact that music kept getting louder and they kept reducing the light. The entrance area felt more like a bar and our area although seemed to be built for dinner guests, there was not enough partition. Would love to come back for drinks but not really for food.

I have been to the Alchemist a few times and, although it is fine, it is not my favourite place in the Westgate. It gets noisy there and also very dark in the evening. I accept I'm a 40 something man so probably not the kind of clientele they want. The food is ok, my chicken in a basket was tasty but not as hot as I would have liked. Staff seem fine if a little disinterested.

Nice bar and fun drinks!Been here many times since it has opened and a few times for food. It is pricey, but nice place and good atmosphere. I’ve always enjoyed the starters and small plates better than the main courses.The cocktails are fun and taste great, but are expensive.Still would recommend and enjoy going here!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Great service from all staff, and the presentation of cocktails were absolutely fantastic and was such a special experience for a night out.Food was delicious. A little pricey, but well worth it for the experience.
