Alchemy Bistro has become the hot spot/ place to be in Makati for Latin dancing on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, beginning around 2130 usually. I have always been intrigued to dance Latin and when I stumbled upon this quaint, eclectic, and cozy place, I decided I had to learn. If you do not know how to dance Latin, like myself, Alchemy has male and female Dance Instructors who are very patient and professional. If you are like me dancing, I dance on the top of a woman’s feet so they have to be patient. Also, it is good to tip the instructors and get to know them. They can be hired if you need more instruction, like me. The dances that I have been able to learn are Kizomba, Salsa, Cha Cha and now working on Tango.
I have tried almost everything on the menu, even things I thought I would have never eaten in a million years, but I was easily convinced by Chef Tina to have a try. Her and her staff’s attention to detail are impeccable. The quality of ingredients and food used are top notch. My favorites are the Lamb Shank, Organic Chicken, Oven Fired Pizzas, Spinach Dip and so many more of Alchemy’s delectable foods. Everything is at a great price point and the quality of food that is prepared at Alchemy cannot be found anywhere else. My Opinion only ☺
If you are into micro brews there is an outstanding selection on hand for what ever your taste buds may desire. One my favorites is Exit Wounds IPA, Pedro and Gordon Biersch Hefe Wieizen.
Alchemy has an outstanding selection of wines to complement your meals or to quench your thirst. I have enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc Fat Bastard and Jules Taylor, which are hard to find in other restaurants.
Get off of the sofa and come out and enjoy the ambiance and dancing at Alchemy!
I flew in to Manila after staying a year in Hong Kong and Singapore, and was looking for a decent place to dance and have a drink or two to chill, i was overwhelmed to have across a place like Alchemy. Fleet of beautiful dancers across kizomba, salsa, bachata, cha cha ans tango crowd this place on select days of the week (my favourite days are Sundays and Mondays) and fills this place with magic. The service crew soon became like friends there, and the owner is so humble you would not find out she is one for very long time. Interestingly located amidst the naughty streets of Burgos, a must go in my list.
Great place for bar hopping in Makati. Alchemy has both vintage and modern touch that's "Instagrammable". It's cozy and perfect with friends!!
They also have wide selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) so you don't have to worry 'bout visiting in the afternoon.
Ordered the lamb shank and chef’s burger.
The lamb shank is very nice, juicy and tender. Only a very small hint of gamey taste and very nice aroma of delicious meat 😍. 8.5/10
Chef’s burger is harder to grade. I prefer my burger medium well done, but they didn’t ask for my preference and gave me a medium to maybe medium rare burger. So it differs from the usual burger that I ate and I cannot judge it accurately 😅. The home made fries that accompany it is very nicely done, crispy without being burnt, 9/10 for the fried
we enjoy going as a group in Alchemy because they have board games there.
Always passed by this place when my friends and I would go barhopping in Poblacion, although always skipped it until last Monday. Surprisingly good vibe, drinks were quick to come; too bad there was no water supply in the restroom but that’s really not their fault I guess.
Had our dinner here on a Thursday night, and it has a very chill vibe and vintage-y. Kinda like you're in a mansion with a lot of witches with spell books and potions roaming upstairs like in the movies/series!
Tried their Pesto Pasta and Signature Alchemy Pizza. Their pizza was so good, never tasted quite like it! Especially since it has speck as protein (a meat similar to proscuitto) and it's very gummy, and topped with arugula with a bit of barbeque sauce (or I don't know if it's from the scamorza cheese). Ugh! Definitely a must-try. Meanwhile, their pasta has enough amount of olive oil and nuts, very light taste and a perfect pair to our pizza.
For the refreshments, we tried the Mango, Orange, and Pineapple juices. And also one test tube shot. Their glasses are also cute, it kinda gives an illusion that it's slanted, but it's not.
Hoping to drop by here on a Tuesday for their BOGO pizza!

My favorite place to be when I want my bottomless beer or cocktail fix!!!! Their prices are really fit for what they offer. The place is really spacious and the waiters are really hands on. Definitely would come back more often for their promos.
They have a lot of drinks to choose from. Try the 12 tube shots, it has a kick in it and it’s only 300 something. Drinks are served in lab equipments which is cute. They also gave us free shots when we went there but it was only for a few minutes

Love the place. Went there to avail of the 279 drink all you can. We were at the 2nd floor and drank beer al fresco. What I loved were the ceiling fans. 2nd were the couches with the throw pillows. Ohhh so comfy. It's like you're drinking in the comfort of your own home. With the food. I especially loved the Calamari. So tasty and flavorful. But the spicy chicken wings were too sweet for my taste. Plus. It looked like it's drowning in sauce. Loved the nachos and their salad as well.
This place serves good freshly made brick oven pizza.
It has a dark, colorful and artsy feel to it.
It also has a roof deck al fresco area but not much of a view.
It caters more of the foreign crowd so expect to see expats when dining or drinking here.
The pricing is also meant for them... there are more budget-friendly places in poblacion but this is one of the most posh yet chill options there.
I came here for dinner with my parents as they've never really been around the Poblacion area. We ordered calamari and hummus for our appetisers. For mains we ordered steak frites x2 and the fish of the day with ratatouille. The hummus was amazing. One of the best hummus I've tried. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the ratatouille also tasted great. I honestly didn't expect the food to be this good, but was pleasantly surprised. Would recommend people to dine here.
