about the venue
  • An unfortunate victim of its own popularity, Alchemia rightfully rose to prominence in the late 90s thanks to its off-the-wall decor and brashly Bohemian atmosphere. In fact you can still enjoy the experience of wandering through cupboards, Narnia-style, to get to natty little back rooms, perfect for discussing nihilism in the flickering candlelight. These days however Alchemia is as much part of the tourist trail as St. Mary's Basilica, meaning whiny American voices are likely to punctuate much of your poetry analysis/philosophical debate. Still well worth a visit, especially for a special event downstairs or during winter, when the curse of the tourist is alleviated.

    right, right. i have a feeling the second to last sentence is quite autobiographical...

    Try to catch TOMASZ MARS if and when he is playing in the downstairs concert room - awesome!

    Btw I've never seriously engaged in a poetry analysis in Alchemia or anywhere else, just in case you're muttering 'twat' as you read this...;)
