Oh my goooooooosh! What a hidden gem! This is inside of the Westin hotel on the tenth floor. We came here on a Sunday evening and it was PERFECT! No huge crowds and excellent service! Ambiance: GORGEOUS patio and perfect place to watch the sunset! They have fireplaces and heaters on the patio. Food: we got wings, mac and cheese, chicken Bahn mi, and deviled eggs! The best entree is the wings! The mac and cheese portion is insane! It can feed a small village probably. We split it in between four people and couldn't finish. The banh mi wasn't impressive but it's ok. The eggs were good too but not too memorable. Service: Zach was amazing, so attentive. I sat myself outside on the patio and I was greeted shortly sitting down. He was also very honest with recommendations which I really appreciated. Overall: love love love! Great place for an intimidate date and an amazing view of downtown Chattanooga! read more

Great roof top bar. Beautiful venue and a fabulous view. Drinks are a little high end but Hey it the Westin. Music was great Gino Fanelli bringing the New Orleans style Jazz. Great time. read more

What a beautiful place to view our lovely Chattanooga! The service is extraordinary, and the cocktails, wines and food was really wonderful. Check out these photos of our experience! We were celebrating a birthday with our family and it was just the perfect place! Will definitely be going back again! read more

It's a beautifully decorated rooftop bar on the 10th floor of the Westin in downtown Chattanooga. There was live music when I arrived at about 830, but I guess it ended at 9. The music was then a hip, but familiar play list. I ordered a Smoked Manhattan. They bring out a little smoking machine and smoke the drink right in front of you. A nice little show and the smoke added a new level of flavor. The crowd was very diverse. You had people staying in the hotel wearing jeans, people coming there for a night out in their Saturday night best, and people from a gala that ended coming up in ball gowns and tuxes. If you're visiting Chattanooga, visit this bar for great views, great service, and a unique experience you can't find anywhere else in Chattanooga. read more

I'm writing this review, but really feel like I need to go back again to get a full experience. We went here over the holiday break because we haven't been here yet - and wanted to go out. I had been sick and Cooped up in the House. When we arrived, it was easy to find and the location is perfect. Parking is valet, or park on the street. We paid $8 to park in a lot nearby and walk. There is an awesome spiral staircase in the middle of the hotel, but you can only get to it from the 2nd floor. Or take the elevator to the 10th floor and you'll hear a bit of noise, walk towards it, and you're there. The bar/restaurant feel is amazing. It's simple, yet elegant and classy. You could come in casual wear and enjoy a drink with friends and watch a sports game (as they have TV's) or sit on the enclosed outdoor patio around one of 3 fire pits and sip on a crafted cocktail. I had an Irish Manhattan - and it was great. My husband got the pineapple mojito and it was wonderful as well. My friends ordered the tacos and said it was amazing. We didn't order food. Here are just some things to note: - Service is different here, it's the feel of a rooftop bar in NYC where the servers come around and get your order (just a lot smaller than the NYC rooftop bar scene. - You can order drinks directly at the bar if needed. - You can order food and drinks even in the fire pit area. - Drink prices range from $5 beers to $10-15 craft cocktails. Compared to the area, this isn't a bad price at all. - wine options were a little more pricey and slim on selections, but the options were great choices in my opinion. - the bar is kind of loud - I was screaming at my friend to talk - it wasn't a club or loud music vibe, it's just people were enjoying themselves. So basically, if you are taking a group here to chat it up and don't want to scream, I would go elsewhere for that. (Say a group of friends that have catching up to do) - it is a great date location and there are couches and chairs side by side for the perfect one on one convo even if it is loud. - it opened in the fall so I can't comment on what it's like for the nice weather, but it was warm with the plastic enclosed walls for January. - the views are nice - but I would say Chattanooga's best views. This was probably the biggest disappointment for me. I was hoping for a little more. All in all - it's a great venue and a beautiful hotel. The service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. The only reason I wouldn't go here, was if I was wanting to support more of a local bar scene. Other than that - it's a win win for craft cocktails and fire pits! :) read more

Well- the bar if you can call it that has limited drinks. Small bar! Service was as slow as a one legged horse in the Kentucky derby. And the bartenders were pretty stressed and not very pleasant but probably due to the lack of servers and stress. Drinks are standard tiny pours and high priced - a bourbon that you get a bottle of for 30 bucks, 10 bucks a drink. No ice unless you ask. The view is ok, mostly of the highway. Crowded with varied clientele- lots of buy 1 drink and sit fir 2 hours types. Not a classy place that I thought it would be. read more

This is a really cool bar on the 10th floor of the Westin. It has lots of couches and tables around in a casual setting. It has a semi-outside area, but its covered, with heat, and a beautiful view at night. My wife and I stopped in for a drink after arriving from out of town and it was the perfect place to relax. I also ordered the pulled chicken tacos for a snack, also very good. If you're looking for a casual place for a drink, this place is excellent. There was a decent crowd when I went on Wednesday night at around 9:30 pm. read more

Alchemy - Cool 10th floor bar - Bars Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Very uptown type of bar sitting almost at top of Westin downtown. We loved the artsy decor and the wait staff dressed professionally. We sat at the bar along the window and had a beautiful view of the city. There also was an area that during warm weather will be open for a breeze. Menu had great food and drink options but we had already eaten so just had a beer. read more

First visit here even though this place has been up and running for quite some time. I like the rooftop bar concept and while music was nice, it was entirely too loud to hold a conversation with the friends I came to catch up with. Living room style seating was comfy but very large so there was a lot of far leaning forward and to the side to hear each other. I moved away from sitting at the taller bar stools because once I sank into the seat I felt like a toddler. Drink menu is average expected prices, but I was disappointed with mine-Shades Of Fall- it looked more like a shot. I ended up diluting it some with ice and seltzer but it was a bit like drinking cough syrup so I wouldn't recommend. My friend needed a little snack and ordered the deviled eggs topped with caviar. Sorry folks, for $12 I expect more than 4 halves. So don't go in there hungry. What was more laughable is they brought out 3 plates for us to share. For the 4 halves. Hahah..... Later I noticed that the receipt has a charge for regular sales tax plus another beverage tax- so tax there was 20%!! How is that even legal to double tax a drink? We had just left another hotel bar and there was only a single tax there so not sure what was up with that. The ambience wasn't bad & our waitress was pleasant, but I feel like there is room to improve- turn the amp down, offer some less ridiculously priced snacks and you have a start.... read more

What a great place too grab a drink! The view was awesome!...and an awesome 80's music video playlist! Cannot complain about the atmosphere. We went there for a pre-dinner cocktail and we really enjoyed ourselves. We ordered a LIT and, for me personally, a Laphroig Rob Roye. So good and very inexpensive! We will be back! Thanks for them good times read more

Great views and live music on Friday nights my favorite drink is the smoked manhattan they use a wood chip smoker to encapsulate all the smoke into your drink it's amazing. Also Austin the bartender makes a delicious New York whisky sour with fresh egg white. And the manager Camille is very nice and knowledgeable on wine I really enjoyed looking at the different variety's of wines offered on the wine list!!! read more

Good place for drinks and small plates. Not a place for cheap drinks and closes a bit early (11 pm). Parked street side instead of the Westin hotel. For the atmosphere and views, it is good for special occasions, but can get packed during peak hours. read more

Night got busy but Sarah was fantastic. A lot of times when you're out a place, when it's less crowded and then gets really busy, service drops. But Sarah stayed very attentive and took phenomenal care of us. read more

Second visit. First time drinks were actually very good. Brought a group in this time and ordered two types of cocktails. Neither was at all acceptable. When your old fashion is fizzing you know there's a problem... Drinks sat in the window for at least 5 min while server chatted w a neighboring table. read more

My wife and I had a great time at Alchemy. You can't beat the service, the food, the drinks and the view up there. We tried 4 of the small plates, and they were all great. Since it was the Westin, I thought I'd get hit pretty hard when the check arrived, but it was actually very reasonable. This is a good spot for a date night! read more

Wow, what a view! We splurged for the $16 cocktails given that it's in the Westin and the view was great. Imagine our disappointment when both our cocktails were really not good (like couldn't even choke them down not good). The staff was attentive and pleasant. View is great (although hot, and two small floor fans aren't enough to make it comfortable). Apps were typical bar food. If you go, go for the view when it's not hot and have one (very expensive) beer before or after dinner. read more

Visited this evening for drinks and appetizers to start our anniversary weekend. Recommend sitting at the bar in the future because service is extremely slow. Hope they step up the service level going forward because there is so much potential with this location. read more

Absolutely adore it here. The food is fresh, drinks are on point and you can't beat the view!

Great view and great atmosphere! It is a little on the pricey side, but they have some really unique beers both international and local. We went to start off the night and it was great to talk and have a few drinks! Delirium is a great Belgian beer that I've tried for the first time here. read more

Service was terrible. Bartender had never made a White Russian. Out of some the beers on the menu? Great view. Great venue. But they have to improve the service. read more
