Alchemist could be considered the temple of indie pop in Kiev. It is like a little island of London bar culture in Kiev downtown. Wedging a hip crowd of well-coiffed youth in checked shirts and leather jackets into its cramped space, the bar plays pop-rock from the Beatles to cutting-edge indie groups, as well as jazz and blues on occasional night to cater to all music lovers.

The music is free, and the quality can be a little uneven, but it’s always a pleasure to discover an international and unpretentious alternative Kiev music scene. Come early on the weekends, as it gets really from full to bursting on these days.
Very hip and popular right now Alchemist gets crowded even during the week, however this is a must-visit bar in Kiev for exceptionally fine drinks and good music.
