I admit it, I love the skin! We ordered a bucket of 8 pieces, and chose mac and cheese and cole slaw. We also ordered a side of jalapeno corn bread. There's really no good news here. The chicken was so dry inside, we couldn't eat it and thrw out all 8 pieces. The mac and cheese wasn't terrible, but I've certainly had better. It too was dry, and was basically one big piece of mac and cheese. The cole slaw was..... interesting. It was an odd pinkish color (red cabbage?) with really no sauce that I could find. My hunt for great fried chicken,,,, withnthe damned skin on..... continues.

I was very impressed with this restaurant. Not only was the hostess so welcoming when my group of…read morefriends came in for my friend's birthday, the staff was so friendly and accommodating as well. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are in a restaurant in Nashville. The menu and the drink list really transport you there as well as the live music. The band was so good! I'm on a diet and the waitress was able to work with the chef to accommodate my needs. I was so impressed. I will for sure be back again. I ordered the sweet potato bowl with brisket, tomatoes and onions. I had one drink, whiskey pig bourbon, was very good. The restaurant has a fun cocktail list and a lot of bourbons. Can't wait to take my husband here

Alibi is currently running a Harry Potter pop up, and if you know anything about me, you will know I am a HUGE fan. The Alibi was decorated beautifully and there were two really cute Photo Ops by "Platform 9 3/4" and the Wand Shop. Come here for the drinks! The Hufflepuff was bourbon forward and reminded me of an Old Fashioned which further confirmed that is truly my house. It also came with an edible golden snitch. The server pointed it out before I gave them what I thought to be decor. I popped the chocolate golden snitch in my mouth after being directed to take the wrapping off first. We then did butterbeer shots and I can't even begin to tell you how delish they were...dangerously delicious. Food was had and it wasn't anything to write about but I'll try. Queso dip is made in house, which I respect. Loaded potato wontons were a great idea and were probably the best things on the table. You can't go wrong with pretzel nuggets. Chocolate cake is never a bad idea. I ended my visit with a chocolate frog drink. Very similar to an espresso martini. You know how hot they are right now. It came with a an actual chocolate frog which was nice. Finally one of the staff members came over to help us play Bertie Botts and we all picked a jellybean. I got lemon. Some of us got soap and warwax. So fun! It was so good, we are going to try to snag another rez for trivia. Reservations are for 90 minute seatings. You pay $15 for a ticket but you get a souvenir cup with your ticket. Not mad about this because the cup is actually decent and will be used. Their next pop up will be "Slime Time". Slime is not my thing but maybe you'll see me at the other pop ups.

The restaurant/ bar is small and its menue is on two sides of a page but the food and service delivery is top not h.

Our server Jacqueline was very sweet and attentive. We had ordered a cider flight. 3 out of 6 tasted like an IPA and we asked to swap it out. They were very accommodating and swapped it without question. Our guests' Bloody Marys were strong and spicy. We tried the short rib skillet, short rib sliders, American breakfast and breakfast burrito. The short ribs were soft and tender and the garlic Parmesan potatoes were AMAZING. (My mom actually went and spoke to the event manager to make sure we could have them at my shower.) The bacon was crispy and eggs cooked perfectly. Brunch prices were very reasonable considering the portions and quality. Overall, it was a great brunch experience and we can't wait to come back!

The place looks cool and I wanted to enjoy it more, but the food was extremely overpriced (3 chicken quesadillas for $50, seriously?!) and the DJ only played 30 second clips of songs on what seemed to be full ear-splitting volume the entire time, so I couldn't hear anybody. Granted, I was the designated driver so I didn't enjoy the atmosphere as much as my friends who were downing cocktails, but still worth sharing that it's not really a good place to hang out and talk.

We stopped by on a Friday afternoon around 3pm, and luckily they were open early on Fridays cuz they usually open at 5pm on any other weekdays. I had a flight of 4 which included Local Gold (West Coast IPA), Loyal to the Soil (Sessions IPA), Hoptonic Drift (NEDIPA) and Sunrise Summer Ale. They were totally drinkable except Local Gold (72.5 IBU) which was super bitter IMO -- I didn't finish the sample. My favorite one is Hoptonic Drift which was a super juicy New England Double IPA. I also purchased a pack of 4 one-pint cans for $16. During this visit, we also got to try their newly brewed Pineapple Wheat beer which was very refreshing. I can't wait to stop by to fill a growler. There's ample parking in the back.
