"Tipsy Alchemist is one of those cocktail bars that features lots of smoke and liquid nitrogen, and half of the drinks come served in quirky vessels like lightbulbs and disco balls. It’s gimmicky and fun, and if you’re willing to shell out a few dollars more than the average price of a cocktail on Rainey, you’ll end up with pretty solid drinks and a good time. It’s also one of the few spots in town where you can sit on a second-story patio and look out over the street below." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The traditional espresso martini is just the jumping off point for coffee-based cocktails at this notable bar. Enjoy a take on the espresso martini you know, made with Elyx vodka, Licor 43, vanilla reduction, espresso, and coffee beans, but don’t skip out on the pumpkin spiced espresso martini and the Death Wish Negroni." - Rachel Pinn
"A Dallas import to Austin’s bar scene in 2020 at 70 Rainey Street, the Tipsy Alchemist stands apart with its cocktail menu, which is formatted like the periodic table. Drinks here are served in lightbulb-shaped containers or delivered through a pneumatic tube that snakes around the ceiling (a must-see experience). For something a little different, we recommend the cocktail, Hair of The Dog." - Vox Creative
"A trendy Rainey Street bar offering to-go cocktails (giant frozen piña coladas, palomas, infused ice creams) Thursday through Sunday with phone ordering; hours are limited." - Erin Russell
"On Rainey Street I found that Tipsy Alchemist learned a staffer tested positive on June 10; that employee had called out the week of May 25 because they were feeling sick. The bar has been temporarily closed since then so employees could be tested and the space cleaned." - Nadia Chaudhury
