It took me 3 years before I found Alchemy. In the past 7 months, I've been there at least 15 times.
Great beer selection, friendly service, and CASH ONLY (note the caps for emphasis). I learned pretty quickly.
But, most importantly--the food! All local, all delicious. However, there's one standout: the sweet potato fries. YOU MUST ORDER THEM. Seriously. Even if you're somehow deathly allergic to sweet potatoes, they're worth a brush-up with death.
Yeah, that good. Alchemy rules.
