We keep coming here for the atmosphere, but their service is also really great even when it's crowded for an event! My only major complaint is that they don't have enough pop-ups for food (and when they do, it's typically during hours when we're not there unfortunately). It's a great place to also explore new wines and beers too - I like to bring people from out of town here for a glass of wine and to get out of the house!Dietary restrictions: I haven't been for brunch (which I have heard great things about), but I personally wish they had more pop-ups during the week, even if it's just appetizers! The pop-up chefs typically can accommodate dietary restrictions, just talk to them and ask if they have an alternative (it varies from place to place).Parking: The lot is small and typically full of cars. It's best to park on the street or in the municipal lot around the corner (with a back entrance/walkway for easy access!).Kid-friendliness: In terms of safety, there are a few things here and there that a kid could bonk their head on, but it's overall a kid-friendly establishment. We regularly pop in with the dogs and kid in tow and the staff and patrons are always accommodating and friendly!

Cool vibe to this place, drinks were good but wish the pizza wasn't sitting there cold. Kind of expensive but worth it to try their cocktails. The band we saw was really great.

We sant down and were told that the seats we were at were for “regulars” by some weird guy. Then they had the garage door open when it was 50 degrees out! We froze and felt uncomfortable the entire time!

We hosted our baby shower at Alchemy with a private brunch for family and friends and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, and everything just flowed so smoothly. We can’t thank Emily and Morgan enough for everything they did behind the scenes to make it happen. Our guests were impressed with the space, the gluten free options, and how accommodating and helpful the staff was. Thank you for making our baby shower such a wonderful and memorable experience! ☺️

Amazing place! Limited food options but they continue to grow and are delicious. Plenty of wine, beer, and cocktail options. A lot of fun events. A great place to go for a totally different experience from open to close.

To: Alchemy Wine & Beer OwnersWhy in the world would you ever open a new establishment and Steal the Name of an already established business right down the road from your new business. Even if the name isn't trademarked, it has prior use in commerce and that alone establishes Dan's Legal rights to the Name THE SHORE HOUSE. It is my opinion that anyone that would even consider doing this is an Unethical person lacking both professionalism as well as any Integrity. It is my hope that you will realize what a LOW move this was and voluntarily change your Moniker to something original and not POACH upon Someone else's Well Established name and Brand!Please Share and share some More. This is the Act of a Self Absorbed Person(s) who cares nothing about who they hurt along the way. The World needs to be aware of the kind of person they are supporting when they frequent your establishment. Shame on You!!!

I attended & loved the wreath making class ! It was my 1st time there and it’s definitely an atmosphere you want to come back to ! Although I didn’t get chance to eat , I did have glass of wine which I enjoyed ! Will definitely come back !!

Don’t go to the wreath making activity, unless you like to stand in line to have pine branches stapled onto metal circle. Long line and no decorating.Didn’t eat so have No feedback on food

I had an events here earlier this year, and they were outstanding. The atmosphere, drinks, food, service was all incredible. So easy to work with. Our group loved it, too. THANK YOU!!

We were there 7/8/23. What a secluded, romantic patio and nice atmosphere. Garden vines and flowers done nicely. .. The wines were very good. Haven't tried the food but that's next! The Staff were attentive and friendly. And the music by "Carl Burke" of Burkes Remedy was very good. Everyone had a great time. He's like a human Jukebox. Looking forward to next time. Even the audience would shout out song requests. One of the kids got a guitar pick from him. He watch very intensely to him play the rest of the night. Future guitar player maybe someday!! lol

Should be better than it is, but each time I’m here which has been many, there’s some different problem. The wine is overpriced for the quality, and pours are very inconsistent from each bartender. Same thing happens with pours of alcohol on the rocks which I’ve been charged different way’s multiple times on the same order. The cocktail menu is just bad, the drinks don’t actually taste good. I don’t even know how to rate whatever they do with the food which has been all kinds of strange and inconsistent over the years. I love the place so I wish it was better but at this point I’ll be taking my business somewhere else for a while.
