What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Alchemy Bar & Restaurant generally receives praise for its welcoming pub atmosphere, excellent selection of drinks, and reasonably priced, delicious food, particularly steaks and chicken parma. However, some guests have encountered issues with inconsistent food preparation and service during busy periods, leading to disappointment in fine dining expectations.
"Excellent wine and steak I have ate ever, the pasta was little bit spicy that’s perfect for my taste, friendly and flexible table arrangement for the tourist (ya, that’s me, sorry for my no booking at Saturday dinner time😅), highly recommended restaurant during visit Launceston"

"Nice bar bordering the CBD, worth stopping into for a feed and taste of local drinks
First thing that you notice coming in here is the vibe - a classic style pub elevated with modern decor, all culminating in a great setting to be in
I found the food very reasonably priced and based on others very delicious
The thing that we came here for was drinks and didn't leave disappointed. A great selection of local drinks and classic cocktails served by friendly staff
Whilst nice, I didn't find much here to be a standout (outside the vibe). Nevertheless, coming in for some lunch and a couple drinks is something I would recommend"

"No wonder this place was packed! Came for dinner on a Saturday night, the restaurant was full and a party of 15+ had just finished ordering so I didn’t have high hopes for a quick service. We found a table in the back bar area (menus all the same) and ordered the Chicken Parma and Wagu Steak. The food came out in under 20 mins - very impressive! My boyfriend wiped the plate clean of the Parma and even said it might have been the best he’s ever had…which is a huge statement from him! My steak was cooked beautifully, chips and salad with parmesan cheese - delicious! Cake of the day was Tiramisu so we couldn’t say no, it was very sponge heavy which we loved too! Huge compliments to the chefs and floor staff, all very friendly - shout out to Sam for looking after us. Definitely recommend if you’re passing through!"
