The Alchemists’ Garden - Supreme Gin Cocktail! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Stopped by today for lunch. Love this space... high ceilings, contemporary Mediterranean feel. Fine dining lunch and dinner. What we ordered... * Deviled Eggs -- Very yellow with turmeric and curry powder. Good flavor, nice presentation. * Grilled Asparagus Salad with a side of Grilled Chicken -- I liked this salad which featured butter leaf lettuce, peas, zucchini ribbons, broccolini, goat cheese, toasted pistachios, and yes, some grilled asparagus (not sure I would specifically called it a Grilled Asparagus Salad as the asparagus was just one of the many vegetables featured). Good fresh flavors. Side of grilled chicken made it a good balanced entree.) * 4 oz Skirt steak & Frites -- Tasty steak with a nice chimichurri sauce, and most excellent narrow cut fries. We asked for the steak medium, but it came out more medium rare. Not a problem as they took it back and grilled it up just right for us. Our server, Danny, was great. Very friendly and attentive. As we wrapped up lunch, we saw an order of the much take about Fried Chicken & Cakes... umm, we'll have to come back to give that a try. read more

Absolutely delicious yet different! You did it! We so delighted with the service, flavor, and speed that we came here again the next day to try more of the menu before leaving town. Ambiance wise it was moderate noise, upper scale bohemian, the zodiac theme was super cute and fun! The place is shares with a bar fyi. 5/5 16oz PORK CHOP MILANESE the waiter told us it was smaller amount of food with the bones. NOPE she was wrong, bones were small and it was a ton of meat and cooked to perfection and that non-traditional crust was amazingly crunchy! This dish actually fed two people at the table because it was so heavy. 4/5 Hamachi Sashimi it was good and very wonderful flavors but knocked it down a point because for the price we paid it was insanely small amount compare to everything else. However the flavor was epic. Yes you get less food with seafood and I understand that but look at the picture. Crazy small amount. 5/5 MUSHROOM MEDLEY is mushroom sourced from a local farm and the sauce and flavor was just on point yet different. Amazing! 3/5 ASPARAGUS SALAD ok yeah it was fresh but we didn't find it standout. It was ok. 5/5 Devil eggs were so different yet wonderful. I love this take on the eggs. Amazing. 5/5 BRÛLÉED BANANA SPLIT whoooaaaa ice cream and banana mix flavors were crazy on point. So much better than lots of other places. 5/5 KNOW YOUR ROOTS i asked the waiter to give me the weirdest drink. Absolutely delivered, ingredients that shouldn't work but it 100% did amazing. read more

We got there a little early for our reservation and they weren't quite ready for us yet, so they offered us a glass of bubbles while we waited. Such a sweet touch right off the bat. Our server was incredible, so friendly and made sure we wanted for nothing the entire time. The manager even came by to check in on us personally. And the sommelier was kind enough to put together a non alcoholic wine tasting for our pregnant friends in the group, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. I ordered the cabbage and it was delicious. The sauce was amazing and the textures from all the different ingredients worked so well together. It was surprisingly filling too. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. One person in our group ordered the steak and a few pieces came out more rare than she would have liked. She still ate most of it and was genuinely fine with it, but when the manager checked in and asked about it, he sent out two desserts to make up for it anyway. Such a thoughtful gesture and it really did not go unnoticed. They were delicious too. Overall such a wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend. read more

Such a pretty restaurant with a great atmosphere! It's the perfect place to gather with friends, enjoy a good meal, and try some interesting drinks. The drink selection was excellent--I especially loved the unique smoked cinnamon pineapple drink and the mushroom latte. The food was just as impressive. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well balanced, without being too salty, too sweet, or overwhelming. It honestly feels like you can choose whatever sounds good from the menu and enjoy it! Service was excellent throughout, and the overall vibe made the experience even better. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed meal with friends, good drinks, and consistently delicious food. Would happily come back! read more

I can only review on drinks since that's the only reason why I went. We got a walk in and sat at the bar. My first drink was the garden spear (coffee cup picture) and for $17 of a premixed cocktail, I was disappointed. You get very little drink specially because they added a large ice cube. I then tried the "Know your kava roots" which is Al alternative drink meaning you get a numbing sensation from drinking it. I've had kava before and this drink just numbed the mouth for maybe 5mins then it was done. There are better, cheaper places around downtown. The ambiance was chill but that's it. read more

Our expectations for this restaurant were honestly pretty high. Overall, the service was good, and the drinks were well-made and nicely balanced. My only issue was with the menu. I actually love small and simple menus, but unfortunately several items listed were unavailable, which made the selection feel very limited and left us with fewer options to choose from. That was really my only complaint. For the price, I think there are other places that offer more variety and, in my opinion, better overall value. read more

The Alchemists’ Garden - Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Update: Removing a star because they do not refund the table free, even for the patrons who show up. Typically, this fee is a safeguard against no-shows, but we were charged $100 to have the privilege of spending money at their restaurant. I've never experienced this before - very disappointing. Great for cocktails, but less so for dinner. My friend booked The Alchemists' Garden for her birthday dinner. She had originally made the reservation for 9 people, but 2 of our friends were unable to make it on the trip. We contacted the restaurant as soon as they opened for the day, but they were unwilling to refund the deposit for those 2 people and offered to send over prosecco and popcorn instead. Personally, I found that to be inflexible, considering we were still planning to dine as a large party and spend a significant amount of money. When we arrived, we were seated on the (dog-friendly) patio. The ambiance was a bit cooler inside, but it had a nice calm vibe. I was the designated driver, but my friends all ordered cocktails. This was the best part of our experience! The best ones I tasted were the Aires and Theory of Forms, but my friends absolutely loved the Nicolas Flamel and Alchemists Gold. For food, we got an order of the Deviled Eggs to start with, but these were not my favorite. However, the Hamachi Sashimi was phenomenal. I wish the portion size was a bit more substantial, but the flavor and texture were perfect. I also really liked the Bone Marrow appetizer. Opinions were extremely mixed on our other food items. The Waygu New York Strip, Skirt Steak, and Truffled Cacio e Pepe were the winners, but the Croquettes, Pesto Vegetable Lasagna, and Pan Seared Halibut were not. Service was friendly but slow-paced, and the meal really dragged on for me. We also expressed that we were celebrating a birthday both in the booking and during the dinner, but they did not send over a birthday dessert. All my friend got was a postcard with the check. Overall, I would say The Alchemists' Garden is worth the visit for drinks, but I would skip dinner. read more

Everyone was great- from check in to getting the check. The drinks were fun and incentive. The food was excellent! Jessica was our server and she was exceptional. Her guidance and service made us feel like we couldn't have ordered better and that we were more than welcomed into the space - an essential part to feeling satisfied. The atmosphere is friendly but elevated, good artistic choices. 10/10 read more

Cute place! Dessert was good . The customer service was ok. My first experience of a drink not being absolutely great and it not offered to be remade. One sip was taken and the drink was left. The waiter even asked if the drink was good as he noticed it had been left basically untouched. My friend said no and he said, "oh sorry." That's it. There was no offer to remake the drink. Oh well at least the dessert was really good! Note- they don't split checks. Not a huge deal just an observation:) Overall an ok experience:) Check it out for yourself. It's a popular place as the wait to get in was over 30mins. Def a fave in Paso. read more

First time visiting Paso Robles and while I was excited for the vineyards, I definitely needed a break from wine - and The Alchemist's Garden was exactly what I was looking for. This place was recommended by the group I was with (they've done this trip a few times), and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ended up coming back three separate times during our trip... which pretty much says everything. The vibe is perfect - cozy, speakeasy-ish, and the kind of place you can just post up belly-up at the bar and stay awhile. Great energy without being over the top. From the moment we walked in, the service stood out. Aubrey set the tone right away - super welcoming and made us feel like regulars from the start. Behind the bar, Matt and Justice were incredible. You can tell they take pride in what they're doing, and it shows in every drink. Honestly, the entire crew is a big reason we kept coming back. Drinks were top-tier: * Bourbon Flip * Espresso Martini * Old Fashioned * Sazerac * And a specialty cocktail with honey cold foam that was so good we literally came back just for it Everything was well-balanced, creative, and consistently on point across all three visits. If you're in Paso Robles and want a break from wine or just appreciate a really well-crafted cocktail in a great atmosphere, this place is a must. Definitely on my "always stop here" list moving forward. read more

Since the cocktail revival (now 20 years old), a ton of these cocktail-centered restaurants have opened up all over the place. Some are good but plenty are just trying to make a quick buck trying to present like they're something they're not. The Alchemists' Garden is the real deal. More than that, it's a unicorn because it had both amazing drinks and really really good food. The entire time we were here all I could think about was how much I wished it was closer to home and planning on how to come back. Let's get into it. For food we ordered the Tea Tray, the steak with fries, and the chicken sandwich. The fries were incredible. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly crispy with enough fluff on the inside. The chicken sandwich was also surprisingly good. Great combination of flavors and good bun ratio. The tea tray was a bit mixed, with great cucumber sandwiches, great deviled eggs, and amazing cookies, but some of the other pastries were undercooked with raw and mushy dough. For drinks we got the Esoteric Mood (which was my favorite and incredibly well balanced), the Theory of Form (which was bright and refreshing), the Know Your Roots (which was good but weakest of the four), and the Alchemists Gold (which started as a smoke show and ended as a really good old fashioned). The little guy got a strawberry lemonade, which he loved and scarfed down. The service was fantastic. Danny, our waiter, was really attentive without being too much. He got the vibe and really enhanced and already great experience. Can't wait to be back! read more

Came over Valentine's Day weekend and thankful we booked a reservation. The space is beautiful with live plants and a tall dining area. The staff were super friendly, from the hosts, our server, the food runner, and even the manager (well, actually one of the co-founders Tony). My husband ordered an off-menu Arnold Palmer and I had a glass of red wine. We started the meal with a Bunch of Fries - wide and crispy, perfect for dipping in their yummy homemade sauces (goat cheese ranch and a well-worth-it up charge side of chimichurri). We split the Fall Pasta (so good!) - al dente tubular pasta (rigatoni?) with delicious roasted squash, zucchini, kale, and sage. We also ordered the Mushroom Medley - earthy mushrooms over peppery arugula and tossed in a sweet chili garlic sauce. You can taste the farm-to-table freshness and ripeness. Regrettably, we didn't leave room for dessert as we had a few cocktails around the corner before coming...but they looked scrumptious. Co-Founder Tony was managing the front of house and he was amazing! He shared the restaurant's origins. Their passion for farm-to-table, supporting local farmers that they grew up with as neighbors and community members. They truly love Paso Robles and the larger SLO region. After our meal, Tony gave us a private tour of their member-club and lounge space The Remedy. Sharing their love and deeper passion for craft cocktails - infusing fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients to flavor their table-side, cart made craft cocktails. We cannot wait to come back to taste their latest seasonal fare and craft. read more

We had such an incredible experience at Alchemists' Garden celebrating my husband's birthday! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Our server, Danny, truly made the evening special. He was welcoming, friendly, attentive, and had such positive energy throughout the night. We had our little ones with us, and he was incredibly accommodating and patient, making sure everyone at the table felt taken care of. It's rare to find service that feels so genuine, and Danny absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the bone marrow appetizer and turned it into a luge--which was such a fun experience! We also ordered a basket of fries with the goat cheese ranch for the kids, and even those were amazing. For our entrées, we had the Pork Chop Milanese, the Wagyu steak, and the Etto Truffle Pasta. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite because they were all outstanding. The cocktails deserve a special mention because they were an experience all on their own. We ordered the whiskey-forward cocktails, with one arriving in a smoke-filled box and the other presented in a lit, smoke-filled chest. The presentation was theatrical, creative, and so much fun while still delivering incredible flavor. To top it all off, Danny surprised us with sparkling wine to celebrate my husband's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. From the exceptional service to the unforgettable food, creative cocktails, and warm hospitality, this was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Thank you, Danny, and the entire Alchemists' Garden team, for helping make my husband's birthday so special. We can't wait to come back! read more

The Alchemists’ Garden - Wagyu New York steak - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This was a 360 degree excellent experience. Highly recommend! Let's start with the ambience. It's a lovely atmosphere with a great location on the corner of the park. They have a thoughtful decor, fun themed menus, and elegant dishware. The food is seasonal, delicious, and well balanced. We especially loved the oysters and bone marrow with the luge. The drinks are next level! Such a fun range of cocktails. One of my favorite parts was the service. Matt was so thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond from splitting our final cocktail in two, recommending great drink and food options, pacing the way the food came out, and leaving us with winery recommendations! Love this place! read more

The restaurant can accommodate larger parties. Service was somewhat chaotic. Long waits for plates to be replaced, etc. unfortunately our food got cold while we waited. In general the more straightforward dishes were better I thought (like the asparagus salad). The bone marrow was hardly any bone marrow, all sweet (was it fig?). The cocktails are not very good; they've all got tons of ingredients and too much going on. I think everything from decor to food to drinks focused on appearances more than substance. read more

The Alchemists' Garden is a restaurant and bar located in the heart of downtown Paso Robles. It was founded in 2020 by five local hospitality veterans and has become a staple in the area. We made reservations online and I recommend you do too because there was a long line waiting for a table as we made our way to check in. CROQUETTES ($16) - the moment I took a bite my eyes lit up. Every bite was delicious and I loved the truffle parmesan aioli on top. It smelled great coming to our table and it was amazing all the way through. This was my favorite! 5/5 DEVILED EGGS ($16) - these were good in their own right but they came out with the croquettes and were a bit overshadowed. I liked the taste of the curry and turmeric in the filling and these were still yummy. 4/5 18OZ PORK CHOP MILANESE ($50) - we didn't realize how big the portions were but it was massive and we had to take some home. It was crispy on the exterior and had tons of flavor. I also liked the arugula and the lemon to balance out the pork. I'm a beef person by default and I couldn't really decide whether I preferred the pork or steak more which I think speaks to just how delicious the pork was. 5/5 8OZ SKIRT STEAK ($48) - the steak was also flavorful and I really liked the chimichurri on top. I didn't care for the sweet potato puree and the portion size could be bigger but it was still really good. 4.5/5 For drinks I ordered the esoteric mood ($19) and the alchemists gold ($22). The esoteric mood was clarified, easy to drink, and had lots of spice notes from the cloves and cinnamon. The alchemists gold was a riff off the old fashioned and had a cool presentation to boot. If you have to wait for a table they have a bar area and there are other bars on the street to pass the time. It's right across the street from the downtown city park so you can take a stroll before or after. read more

Honestly, the best food I've ever had. Ingredients are high quality, well balanced and elevated. I rarely eat land meat and the vegetarian dishes were so good, I ended up trying the duck and the steak and both were EXCELLENT. Cocktails were delicious fantastic and the service was incredible. We had Keeli the first night how was so sweet and took her time to explain dishes and make recommendations. Everything was so good that we went back the next night and our server was Kat C, who was just as sweet and friendly and helpful. I have already highly recommended this place to multiple people. read more

The Alchemists’ Garden - Amazing 4 Oz Skirt Steak sandwich & Frites. Meat was so tender. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

I've been to Alchemists Garden a few times with mixed reactions each time. It is a great cocktail bar with a lot of unique mixes & all the standards (albeit pricey, $16-20). It's is beautifully done, and great for a special gathering for drinks. What is suspect is the menu and the food -- a bit odd and overpriced. Charred Cabbage is an entree. Great to have vegan options, but come on. They do have (and they beefed it up in recent months), a fish ($44), a steak ($65), a pork chop ($48), and a couple of pastas ($32-34). Those are good options, for sure, but for a tourists and special occasions -- for locals, it's not for everyday. I recently went for Taco Tuesday...$6 street tacos. They don't have carnitas or any pork (my fav), but they do have shrimp, steak, and a couple of unique ones -- duck, mushroom. They were high quality for the price, and 2-3 will do ya. My party of 6 all ordered, and all were lukewarm or cold. Tony (great guy, manager) re-ordered all and had them made somewhat pronto. So, I don't quite know. Having gone a few times, I shouldn't still wonder what to say about a place. Overpriced? Good for cocktails? Nice ambience? Great vibe in the bar and streetside patio? Yes, all true. It's not my fav place. Also true. read more

First time here, definitely won't be our last. Jessica was our outstanding server today, training Michelle, who was also super charming and helpful. Both were very attentive and informative regarding the specials--thank you so much for recommending the Brussels sprouts appetizer! Thank you also for bringing us the sparkling wine to celebrate our anniversary. Wonderful ambience inside as well as fun to look outside where the festive lights of the holiday parade were passing by. Great place for a date night, but also to meet up with friends who enjoy delicious cocktails, and memorable food. We started with their French fries which came with tasty bleu cheese ranch--appreciated the thin cut of the potatoes which allowed more surface area for seasoning. Definitely some of the best fries I've ever tasted! Next was my favorite--the Brussels sprouts--not sure what specific alchemy was involved here but they were so amazing. Perfectly cooked with slight charring, and flavored to sweet tangy perfection! Every mouthful was a delight. Then came my harvest apple salad and my husband's skirt steak with chimichurri and sweet potato. I'm not typically a steak person, but oh my, that was a perfect bite. read more

I'm giving 4 stars for the drinks; this was my second visit, and the cocktails are consistently solid and well made. However, I specifically want to comment on their NYE party. I was visiting Paso Robles for a few days and needed a place to ring in the New Year, so we decided to check out Alchemists. Unfortunately, the tables were sold out, but we were offered general admission for $21 each. We thought that would be fine, but for the price there were no seats, no party favors, no champagne toast, and the waitstaff wasn't particularly friendly. The staff checking guests in mostly stood at the entrance watching people rather than engaging with guests or helping create a fun atmosphere, which made the experience feel awkward and unwelcoming. If this is an annual event, a coat check would also be a huge improvement, especially since it was raining and cold on New Year's Eve. Overall, I didn't feel welcomed and wouldn't recommend this event to others. The price of drinks was also quite high; some deals would have been nice for NYE. That said, for dining and enjoying great cocktails, I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Nice dinner experience! We didnt have a reservation so we got a seat at the bar top. The bartenders were attentive and surprised us with some fun liquid nitrogen tricks. The drinks were delicious and they made a lot from scratch. Meeting with Faustus: a spin on a gin and tonic. Very seasonal (cinnamon and clove infused gin) but a little to spice-forward for me Alchemist Gold: Their version of an old fashion. I would recommend if you like old fashions with a slightly sweet twist Hamachi Sashimi - 3/5: seasoning was good but tuna didnt taste as fresh and didnt really meet the price point expectations for me ($30+) Croquettes- 4/5: This paired well with the aioli they use and they were fried perfectly. Filling was tasty but nothing too unique compared to other menu ingredients Bunch of Fries - 5/5:These hit the spot. I love how they cut the fries and their goat cheese ranch is so good Burrata- 5/5: My favorite of the night! The squash was roasted perfectly and everything went together so well read more

- ambience - I loved the high ceilings and all the beautiful hanging plants this place is really cute. - service. It was inconsistent. I ordered the tourist drink, it was served in a mushroom glass rimmed with a delicious blend of sugar and maybe truffle salt and topped with a flower. It was delicious! However, I wouldn't have known I was missing something if my friends, who went the day before, didn't share their experience. Theirs came to the table with smoke inside the glass. Their server added dried mushrooms and another liquid that intensify the smoke it was really cool to see but I didn't get that experience but pay the same price. - food. We ordered fries, bone marrow and pan seared halibut. The fries are skinny steak fries and was the best tasting of my order. Bone marrow prepared with cherry onion jam and chocolate sea salt, I only taste of the cherries which was abundant and tasted like raisins. The bone was shallow so there wasn't a whole lot of marrow and it was gelatinous. At the price of $36 it was a huge disappointment the halibut was nicely cooked but it wasn't seared, it was just OK. At $44 I wouldn't order it again The Taurus and the bone marrow were suggested by the server. I always expect those suggestions to be a highlight item on their menu but I felt underwhelmed and then later disappointed when we met up with our friends. We still tipped well because our server, Michelle, was delightful and I like talking with her. She tried to make up for the bone marrow. I might come back just for drinks but have it at the bar so we can get the real experience, and their fries. But definitely not coming back here for a Saturday night dinner read more

If you haven't been to The Alchemist Garden in Paso Robles yet, you're missing out! I've had the pleasure of dining here twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner and both experiences were absolutely outstanding. The food is farm-to-table at its finest. We tried the tomato and burrata, the mushroom appetizer, halibut, lasagna, and the pork chop, and every single dish was top notch. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My mother has a sensitive stomach and she remarked how the food was of high quality given how she felt that night and next day. Don't skip the drinks either, Fifth Heaven is a must-order. What also sets this place apart is the staff.. from entrance to exit, everyone was warm, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. A special shoutout to Danny, who went above and beyond to make our visits memorable. And if you're a dog owner, you'll love The Alchemist Garden because it is very dog friendly, with a lovely patio with a view of the square where your fur baby is welcome to join you. Two visits in and I'm looking forward to my next trip back. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give it ten stars, I would. Twenty even. Have all the stars. The bone marrow was rich and plentiful with deep channels cut into the bone. The cabbage main with lentil and cauliflower puree is hearty and delicious. The cocktails are interesting and each better than the last. Some come with presentation like the Alchemist's Gold.

Topped it all off with dessert. LOL, so good! The cheesecake for him (seperate drink of Cappuccino )and I had the Afogato with espresso which is a dessert! It wasn't too filling as it all sounds.

Went in for an anniversary dinner and had a great experience. The Services is always top notch. Let's talk about the food . We started with some spicy shrimp served with a tziziki sauce. They were delicious. We then had the oysters, which were the the daily special. I could've eaten dozens of them. For our main, we ordered the ribeye special. This was actually the low point of our meal. The steak was extremely fatty and was served with the smallest side of asparagus and sweet mashed potatoes. The best part of our whole meal were the fries. I wish every place served fries like this. Service was outstanding and we received a complementary sparkling wine toast for our anniversary. read more

We were looking for a place to have an early dinner in Paso Robles, and the menu looked interesting. Also, I remember seeing the name when I was looking for restaurants in Paso Robles. Since we got there around 4 pm, they were still serving the lunch menu, but mentioned that they would be switching to dinner. There were plenty of interesting selections on the lunch menu. The deviled eggs were outstanding. I really enjoyed the vegetarian banh mi as well. The waiter did mention that it was a bit light and you could add a protein if you wanted, but I was looking for a light meal, so it was perfect. I really liked the cocktail I had - the Hugo spritz. It was light and refreshing. We ate on the covered patio, which was really nice. I did notice they even have some seating that faces out to the square, which is kind of cool if you want to people watch. Service was great. I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu and additional cocktails. read more

We stopped by Alchemist after dinner since we were staying nearby and decided to walk over -- so glad we did! Our waiter, Danny (or Dan), was super friendly and had great drink recommendations. I started with a tequila-based cocktail (the one with the picture -- so good!), and my boyfriend got the lemon drop-style drink that came in a teacup and saucer with a hibiscus infusion -- it looked like cranberry tea and was such a fun presentation. For our second round, Danny recommended the Garden Eyes, a basil-forward cocktail that was sweet, aromatic, and beautifully balanced by the tartness of the alcohol -- absolutely delicious. To top it off, the mixologist came out to greet us and shared a bit about the history and inspiration behind the Garden Eyes, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. Overall, cozy vibe, creative cocktails, and warm service -- definitely worth stopping by if you're in town read more
