Alchemy Aqua Vitae 140 North 8th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508

"So usually I love this bar!! Big fan of the butter beer. Me and my friends came in tonight and the waitresses who was serving us let two groups ahead of us be seated who had arrived later than us. She had just forgotten about us apparently. Which is no problem, things happen. We all have two butter beers and we close out for the night. We are all charged 21 dollars. We find out the next morning that we all have charges for 26 dollars. The waitress had tipped herself. Now its 5 dollars, not that big of a deal. But you cannot have your staff doing that. That is very underhanded. I will be contacting the owner about this. Edit or reply to owner: Our group was only 3 people. And the waitress seated a group of 4 before us when we had arrived earlier. Which is why no one tipped. Also good to know about the new system. My charge still hasn't been "corrected" but I'm sure it will in time."

"Alchemy’s attention to detail and their innovative drinks bring mixology to an art form. My favorite drink here is the Mahalo, but they also make a really really good chocolate Manhattan. Favorite place in the Haymarket to hang out with friends."

"Their website and Google says they close at 1. We (a group of six) arrived at 11:55 and proceeded to sit down. A woman approached us and said they had closed and already called last call. I, obviously shocked, said “it says one online.” She told me when it’s slow they close early. I just want to share this review because anyone planning on visiting should be aware of the false advertising. My parents were in town, it was their last night, and they were eager to come and try the butter beer so it was super disappointing."

"Was excited to try this place out! I'd had a rough postpartum and was so excited to finally get out and enjoy my first night out after having my baby, but because we had him with us, we were turned away. We came to enjoy time with coworkers and our son was asleep in his car seat. Every other place in the haymarket has allowed us to bring him, so this was odd and honestly rude to first time new parents. It was my first and last experience here. I should add that we were there for 45 minutes before we were asked to leave and refused service."

"This place is downright cool. It's very dark and moody, and the decor makes you feel like you stepped into an old apothecary. The drinks were phenomenal. They had so many interesting cocktails and flavor pairings, it's worth going again and again just to make sure you try all of their wonderful drinks!"
