Alchemist & Barrister

Skeptics who claim that old-fashioned watering holes shouldn’t double as culinary destinations haven’t been to the Alchemist and Barrister. Equally regarded for its dark, saloon-like atmosphere as it is for creative menu items like a cheesesteak salad, this bar has a lot going for it. Like frequent live entertainment nights. If you prefer the sound of your own voice to that of other nocturnal crooners, there’s an open-mic night once a week.
