Recommend wearing steel bottom shoes or not even going to the dance floor entirely if you don't want to be stabbed and crippled by a dirty broken glass bottle for 3 weeks.
Very loud, very crowded!!
Onto the more important part. The bouncers are sexist pigs. No where on the wall/anywhere does it say only girls are allowed on the stage. So, me and my boyfriend got up on the stage. Seconds later a bouncer pulled my boyfriend off the stage into an extremely violent chokehold and dragged him outside. By the time he was throw, yes thrown, onto the streets, he was gasping for air. Not only that but another huge bouncer took it upon himself to restrain me with such force (for simply following my boyfriend out of the bar) my shoulders were sore the next day.
Moral of the story: have your drinks beforehand, and only go if you’re a single girl.
Loved this place! Came in with a bachelorette party and got fast service even though it was super busy. The bartenders were very attentive and we loved the atmosphere. Definitely coming back.
Probably had the worst experience at Alchemy in Raleigh Saturday night. A bouncer was trying to touch my girlfriend and flirt with her and got mad when he found out that she had a boyfriend so he taps her on the shoulder and tells her that she could do so much better than me and she tells me exactly what he said. So I write on my phone that’s uncalled for and to leave us alone and that she doesn’t want you and I show I.T to him. He takes my phone throws I.T across the club and kicks me as hard as he can in my stomach. After this I walk to the door of the club and see a manager holding my phone and tell him what happened and he says that I needed to leave the club. One of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve ever incurred.
Literally the worst experience I could have asked for. My cranberry vodka was so weak it tasted like water. I actually think it was water.
Broken glass all over the dance floor. I had an entire broken bottle go straight through my shoe and deep into my foot spilling blood everywhere and having to take a fun trip to the ER to get stitches. Was rushed out the door and given two dish rags to and basically told too bad by club management.
Absolutely pathetic.
Yet one of the coolest places to party in Raleigh. Walking in around 11 pm after dinner and a few drinks elsewhere is a good idea. Shots are reasonable if you can find your way to the bar counter.
