    We live in the Inner Richmond, and were excited to hear about the Alembic being just a short walk away over on Haight. Immediately as we stepped in off Haight we were surprised. Despite the fairly nondescript exterior, the inside was very classy with a beautiful wooden bar and black tin ceiling. The drinks were excellent! I started with the Night Market while my partner started with the Golden Child. The Night Market was super effervescent, and provided a nice punch with the cucumber, chili, and lemongrass coming together to linger on the palette nicely after each sip. The Golden Child was very interesting also, with a softer and subtler flavor profile. For the second round, I got the Playground Love while my partner got the Blue Velvet. The Blue Velvet had a nice rounded blueberry taste, but the Playground Love was my favorite of the night. I was pleasantly surprised at how forward the milk tea flavor came through, and the pistachio and rhubarb provided a nice rounded flavor as well. With how good the cocktails were, we are now really interested in checking out one of their mixology classes. We'll be back to get the summer cocktails again before they're gone!

    There are alot of places to go on the Haight but this is by far the most enjoyable to have a well crafted drink and delicious eats with some friends. They offer beautiful curated NA drinks as well making it an optimal place for friends to gather. You order at the bar but a runner will bring you your order so you're not standing around forever. They did a great job creating a beautiful space maximizing this small venue.

    Haven't been here in a while. Went for drinks but wasn't expecting such amazing food. Carrot fennel soup, polenta fries with red chimichuri, salad with goat cheese, all delicious. Service was also great. Had my pups with me and they brought them out some treats.

    Started with a brown butter old fashioned , it was just what I wanted to start the drizzly winter night. Always a nice ambience in alembic for a date Elliot was are bartender, he was very nice and helpful with our order. Ordered the west coast IPA and had the 3rd cheese plate on the menu he recommended(can't remember the name of the cheese). Was really good with the seasonal plum jelly it came with on the side Will be returning when I'm in the area
