A late-night cocktail bar & restaurant in the heart of Spinningfields, Manchester! In the 19th century, Spinningfields was described as a “den of iniquity, teeming with opium dens, gin palaces and alehouses”. An apt birthplace for the original Alchemist.

We now bring this bustling social hub into the 21st century with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our year-round outdoor terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining. As a hive of activity since the industrial revolution, we invite all of Manchester’s worker bees to join us in our very own den of iniquity for a dazzling range of drinks and sumptuous selection of food.
