The Alchemist St Martin’s Lane is a cocktail bar and restaurant in Covent Garden, close to the Duke of York’s Theatre, the London Coliseum and the wider West End. Its theatrical setting combines a main bar, dining area and private event space for daytime meals, drinks before a performance and late evening gatherings.

The food selection moves from breakfast and brunch choices at weekends to snacks, main dishes and desserts throughout the day. Smashed potatoes with eggs, pancakes and French toast sit alongside vegetable gyoza, burgers, crispy chicken, katsu curry and fresh salads, with vegetarian and plant based choices clearly represented.

Cocktails remain central to the experience, using smoke, bubbles, changing colours and imaginative presentation to express the group’s alchemy theme. Familiar spirits and fruit flavours appear beside more unusual combinations, while alcohol free creations provide the same sense of occasion for guests who prefer not to drink.

A dedicated theatre menu is designed for meals before and after nearby performances, while weekend brunch and Sunday sharing dishes provide further reasons to visit. The venue also offers cocktail masterclasses, a photo booth and flexible private hire for celebrations, work events and larger groups.

Address: 63–66 St Martin’s Lane, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4JS, United Kingdom
