The Alchemist unveils second Edinburgh site amid £1.5m investment

The Alchemist has announced its continued expansion in Scotland with a £1.5m investment in a second bar and restaurant in Edinburgh, set to open in early 2023.

The new site comprises a 7,051 square feet space located on George Street and it will house 185 covers for cocktails and all-day casual dining.

Additionally, the new venue will bring 60 new jobs to the capital city and it marks the third Scottish site for The Alchemist brand, following its debut as part of the St. James Quarter development at the end of last year, alongside recently revealed plans to open in Glasgow’s George Square this winter.

Jenny McPhee, brand director, said: “The response to our first bar and restaurant in Edinburgh last year, alongside plans to make our debut in Glasgow later this year, has been incredible and we’re thrilled to be further expanding our portfolio in Scotland with a second venue in the capital.

“With a mix of listed features and our signature style, the site is going to be stunning, offering an unrivalled and unconventional drinking and dining experience in the heart of the city.”
