Expresso martini
Nichelle S.

F&B: only had beverages so far here and they're 9/10. They had a yummy expresso martini that was perfectly balanced. I also got a cocktail with my fave, matcha, in it. It was different! Service: 10/10 the server was attentive and recommended the matcha cocktail Ambiance: modern, had a chill speakeasy lounge vibe on one side and the bar on the other. I want to come back and try the food and other day time beverages!

The Thin Mint Latte? Absolutely delicious. I've been wanting to try The Alchemist for awhile now, and it ended up being the perfect spot to enjoy a scrumptious latte while getting some work done. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and relaxing -- easily one of my favorite places I've found to be productive. Service was quick, though the barista definitely seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. I also loved seeing the community board highlighting local events and small happenings around the area.

Pistachio latte and blueberry muffin
Sadiya A.

Came here on a Friday morning around 10a to find some workspace with a friend. It was spacious, nice and quiet for the morning to get some work done. The space itself has some cozy spots but overall it was spacious enough; the bar area does have limited seating though. The baristas were friendly and helpful! I ordered the blueberry muffin (warmed) and it was moist and flavorful, I also ordered the iced pistachio latte and it was great - but I also wanted the Garfields Local Honey Cortado - that looked really good too. Id definitely like to try this place out in the evening to try out their drink menu too!

O.F. Martini (Only Fans)

Loved this spot and will be back again! Went during cocktail hours with my girlfriends around 10pm-1am as they were hosting an event with a DJ. -drinks and shots are well priced -there is a small parking lot and street parking all available for free -their bathroom was so nice, I hate to walk into a really nice place and then go to use their restroom and it's disgusting and this place is not that -I didn't try any food this visit, but they did have flatbreads, charcuterie, and dessert options for the cocktail time -the environment was very speakeasy vibes or quiet date nights. You can easily go with a group of friends and have fun or with your partner for some quality time

After a friend of mine and I attended an event at Tinker House Events downtown recently, we wanted to check out some place new nearby to try for a coffee, cocktail and bite to eat. Naturally, I referred to the Yelp app to help guide us to a local spot. We ended up at "The Alchemist" which has only been open for a few months. This place checked all the boxes for what we were seeking. There is some parking behind the building if you prefer not to park on the street. We walked into a dimly lit space with a woman singing so well I had to make sure it wasn't a recording. It's definitely a vibe. There's a bar and restaurant as well. I had my go to espresso martini. I wanted to try the Birria Empanadas but they were out hence the 4 stars. My friend and I shared the Margherita pizza. I'm picky about this particular pizza and this one wasn't my favorite. There was a mesquite BBQ like spice on it that I wasn't expecting and not sure I would order again. Overall the service, drinks and ambiance were excellent. I would probably go back just to see if they have those empanadas in the future so I can compare them to the ones I love at Che Chori.

Coffee

This heady, upscale coffee and alcohol bar sits in an old building in the trendy Northside neighborhood. We stopped if for pastries on a Saturday morning before going to the museum. Unfortunately, the pastries had not arrived by 9 a.m., which is why we stopped in. The clerk was apologetic. We sat and waited. The dining area has lots of comfy seating with an industrial vibe and heavy jazz plays overhead. The dim lighting is comforting and romantic. The locally made donuts arrived shortly after we sat. I rarely complain about donuts, but the chocolate covered donut was a disappointment. The donut was heavy and not light and fluffy. The Apple Fritter was good, but could have had a bit more fruit. Note, they no longer make/serve breakfast sandwiches that are described in other reviews. Alcohol is served after 5:00 p.m. Street parking is free. A single unisex restroom serves all. Cool coffee shop. Free street parking. Clean restroom. Donuts were meh. Outdoor, pet friendly, patio.

Espresso martini
Mary H.

We celebrated NYE here and had fun :) the bartenders were awesome and served up the absolute best craft cocktails. They are carefully crafted and I love that they always have something new and funky to try. It was a very swanky lounge and the DJ was playing great beats. I loved that everyone could have their own table. It felt intimate while also being busy. They have my favorite espresso martini in town!

Expresso martini
Shawn B.

Let me just say that The Alchemist is a total vibe! I stopped by on a Saturday night with some friends. We originally sat at the bar. The bartenders were super cool and helpful when it came to choosing a specialty drink. We then decided to moved to a table on the back side. It was dark, intimate, and relaxing. There was a live dj playing rnb. I will say there is only 1 restroom, but it wasn't too much if a problem and it was very clean. Parking is located on the street and and in the back. I can't wait to return!

Latte & yeast
Adriana T.

What a cute spot! We stopped in for a quick latte & treat on Labor Day. I ordered the Orange Dark Chocolate Latte with the Gluten-Free scone. And my partner ordered a latte with the old fashioned donut. The barista was really kind about my non-dairy needs and let me know about the cold foam in the original drink I wanted (Sage Raspberry Latte). Love the vibes, the seating options and looking forward to trying out the adult beverages soon.

Shortbread Belgian
Sherika S.

The Alchemist does coffee and cocktails right! I've been a few times in the evening and I've always had a good time and the cocktails are always great. I stopped in for a latte during the week and was surprised at how busy it was. There was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't too bad. I decided to go with the Shortbread Belgian latte and it was yummy! The cookie that came with it was a pleasant surprise. The latte was sweet, but not too sweet which is how I like them. I also had my eye on the orange dark chocolate latte, so I can't wait to come back and try it.

Pistachio latte
Sana K.

Super cute spot for coffee. Ordered the pistachio latte and it is not like any other I've tried. I was intrigued by the rose flavor and it was def prominent. Love the latte art. Two punch Tuesdays! Make sure to get your loyalty card. Lots of options on drinks. Donuts for munching.

Beautiful brick wall as soon as you walk in
Madison T.

This venue was gorgeous; absolutely one of the cleanest places I've been to. There was a ton of seating indoors that wrapped all around the counter which gave a very private and comforting feel. Lights were somewhat dimmed for a cozy atmosphere but not enough to make working on a laptop or visiting with friends "too dark." I loved the color scheme of this location and they had outdoor seating as well with water dishes and treats for your pups. The staff is incredibly kind and the torched s'mores latte was incredible. The graham cracker with torched marshmallow added the perfect touch. The drink was refreshing but not too overpowering of a taste. I will absolutely be back to this location

Bar

Gorgeous and straight up insta ready atmosphere pushing the good old school ways, I wanted to buy a top hat and three piece to fit in. There's neat little dining nooks and cozy darkened bar swapping out the espresso and family friendly stuff around six, unfortunately we only wanted that with an hour to spare before our new years eve reservation at Legacy Tokyo. Ordered a carajillo to pass the time and oh boy they nailed it, such a perfectly balanced cocktail that despite basic ingredients, espresso, vanilla, it easily overflows the expectations. My typically sweet toothed friends agreed. Wish we could've stayed for the live music and big bulb vibes!

Wiseguy Lounge - Dirty Smash....its like a minty spin on an Old Fashioned

One of the best speakeasies in Indianapolis! They recently completed a renovation, and the expanded…read morespace is a huge improvement. The lounge is much larger now, with additional seating and a cozy lounge area in the back featuring comfortable couches. It feels much more open while still keeping the intimate speakeasy atmosphere. This is one of my favorite places for craft cocktails because there's always something new to try. Their menu changes seasonally, so even if you've been before, you'll usually find new creations alongside their signature cocktails. The drinks are true works of art, both in flavor and presentation. On my most recent visit, I tried a cocktail off the Pride menu called the Stonewall, and it was absolutely delicious. It had a beautiful pink color, and I loved the glass it was served in. The presentation is always top notch. Service was good. The drink was also only $10, which is pretty cheap for the quality compared to other places. We didn't stay long this visit, but it's always one of my go to spots to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails. An added bonus is that you can order food from Goodfellas Pizza and enjoy it while you're in the lounge, making it an even better experience.

This is a nod to speakeasies of the past. It's not as difficult to get in, though. No password…read morerequired. Just walk into the Goodfellas Pizza and go to the left. Or walk in through the patio doors on the outside to the left. Once inside you're greeted by dark wood and leather everywhere. And whiskey. Lots of whiskey. They have several whiskey flights available at different price points. Come on Fridays when all the whiskey flights are on sale.

Still the best hands down! I was in haughville and wanted to grab a little smomething somewhere…read more.. then it hit me; Longs! I was hoping it would still be open around 230pm. Well they stay open till 10pm! Hooray! Most other donuts shops and bakeries close early afternoon, so just another reason Longs is 5 star. Small but efficient. People always friendly donuts always fresh and delicious. Fyi- Still cash only.

I came for one free donut... and left with a box full of bad decisions…read more I'm originally from Connecticut and was driving through Indianapolis on my way back to Louisville when someone told me, "Don't leave Indianapolis without stopping at Long's Bakery." Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.
