"What's upstairs?"…read more That's been the question on Chattanooga's social scene's mind for the past year. Everyone wants to climb the stairs of the second floor of The Bitter Alibi. Well, now you can! The idea is a cocktail bar. Pretty simple, right? And that's just it, that's all it is. No tricks, no whistles, no $16 cocktails with some weird Japanese spirit that you don't know anything about. You want a good cocktail by seasoned bartenders, well, then there ya go. Oh, and they dress them up! Umbrellas! Fun straws! Even little plastic pterodactyls. Yeah, I don't know what it means either, but it's fun and much better than staying at home watching America's Funniest Home Videos and eating your sad pasta. It's a very intimate space, enough for about 20 people. The idea is reminiscent of a tiki lounge; macramé adorns the walls, the daiquiris are served in big parrot-styled cups, there's a sound system playing club music. There's even a porch overlooking The Big Nine District and the MLK Mural. Bring your best friends, or that girl you've dropped the ball on asking out for the past two weeks -- she'll be impressed.

Our server was very kind and friendly. Everything was very clean, including the restrooms, which is not always the case in places like this. As for the food, I'd give it an 8/10. The burgers had an amazing grilled flavor. The fish was very tasty and fresh, clearly made to order. The only downside was that it was a bit too oily and could have been drained a little better.

At first, servers were scarce, but as I got up to go to the bar, the bartender must've seen me and was on his way. He took our initial drink order. At $14 per glass of wine, we just went for the bottle at $54 and a charcuterie board at $27. We are on vacation, so why not. The view is excellent. The weather cooperated. People watching from on high was fun, and the nature scenery was nice. Service was a little slow, but not an imposition, however, if it gets much busier, that could be a thing. We later learned they previously had a $10 cover, but we did not get asked for this and it must be a thing of the past, or I understand it is waived for guests of the Edwin Hotel (the bar's affiliated with the Edwin) but we had dinner reservations at Whitebird, the affiliated restaurant. The charcuterie was good with cheeses, cured meats, jams, crackers, etc. all in all, the star is the Al fresco seating and the River, and of course the company of my beautiful wife! So, go for outdoor seating and bring your own beau!

The food was delicious as always. The service was amazing thank you Taylor and Vanessa. From the minute we arrived for our reservation (3:00) we actually arrived about 5 minutes before they opened. We were told that they didn't open until 3 but I asked if we could be seated as my mom is having chemo and couldn't stand long especially out in the heat. The hostess seated us immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and when I asked for tepid water because my mom can't drink anything cold because of the chemo, she went and got it without an issue. Excellent service, food and atmosphere.

However, the excellent customer service more than makes up for it! We had a party of four and were able to seat ourselves while the waiter came over to take our orders. Everyone was super attentive and the service was fast. One server brought us our waters and was incredibly nice. Then another staff member came over to greet us and take our orders. Another gentleman brought out our fries and checked to see if we were ready to order our entrees, but we had already placed our orders. I really appreciated how attentive everyone was throughout our visit! Our food came out in a good amount of time. I ordered the miso ramen, and let me just say--it was a 10/10! The flavors were absolutely spectacular. I've never had tofu that good, and it was served on the side. The way the edamame was seasoned and paired with the broth was simply TOO GOOD! My wife ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which she really enjoyed. I tasted the broth, and it was definitely different from mine, but in a good way! My son also enjoyed his fries, which were fried to perfection. Needless to say, I HAVE to come back before I hit the road and head home!
