Alchemy Bar
Alchemy is defined as ‘the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary, sometimes in a way that cannot be explained,’ which is exactly what Alchemy Bar in Ballito does. A celebration of all things craft and local, this trendy and modern bar will offer you a taste sensation.
Although Alchemy does not offer regular alcohol and chocolate pairings, it prides itself on bespoke experiences. Should you wish for a chocolate and alcohol (of your choice) tasting, it can easily be organised at your request.
