I absolutely LOVE Alquimico. Every time I got back to Cartagena ( which is often) I always end up there. Their drinks are delicious and most of all the service is incredible. The bartenders go above and being to create the best atmosphere possible. Ivan (el jefe) the manager makes sure things run completely smoothly and is super nice! One of my favorite bartenders Efrain is the sweetest and makes some of THE BEST drinks. Other bartenders I’ve met there are also super kind and great people to get to know! The food is not the best but the drinks, atmosphere and service definitely make up for it! Highly recommend! This review is fully transparent and my personal take on the bar. Check it out!
We visited Alquimico and had a very pleasant experience. The food we had (Fried Costeño Cheese & Plaintain, Cashew, and Coffee tart) were delicious! Definitely recommend checking out their food menu. For the drinks, we did one round on the first floor and another round on the second floor. The concept of each floor having a different drink selection was cool, so we were happy that we were able to try both. I didn’t love the flavor profiles of the drinks on the first floor, but that’s okay - not everything is meant for everyone. But I could still appreciate that these were quality cocktails. The drinks on the second floor were better, in my opinion. Overall a good experience, and I would recommend a visit!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alquímico was one of the highlights of our trip to Cartagena. The cocktails were exceptional—creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, with incredible energy, music, and a truly unique vibe. As vegetarians, we were especially impressed by the food. Alquímico is a paradise for vegetarians and vegans, offering thoughtful, flavorful dishes that are just as memorable as the drinks. A special shoutout to Angeles, who was absolutely amazing. Her warm hospitality, recommendations, and attention to detail made our experience even more special. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. World-class cocktails, outstanding vegetarian food, amazing service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. If you’re visiting Cartagena, Alquímico is an absolute must-visit. 🌱🍸✨🇨🇴
The place itself was pretty good and had a decent vibe, but there were a couple of drawbacks. The cocktails are batch pre-made rather than mixed fresh to order, which was a bit disappointing for the price. Also, we noticed a pretty unpleasant smell coming from the left side of the bar area. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a quick stop, but a few adjustments would definitely improve the experience. 4 stars.
One of the best bars in the world... no. We were a large group. Not sure any one of us liked their drink. One even sent it back. The herb taste was overpowering. Cocktails with Tarragon, Oregano and Tamarind. These were season travelers. Not one person loved the bar menu. And they were pricey. The bar atmosphere was great, with Instagram signs and moody lighting. I can see the appeal (in old town Cartagena), but the drinks lacked.
