The vibes are fun & they have a late night kitchen which is a huge plus because the food is SO good! If there's one thing you absolutely have to try here, it's the Mama Chien's Dumplings, these things are unbelievably good!! They are tender & cooked to perfection, & the dumpling sauce is the best you'll ever have!! The pizza dumplings are a fun fusion dish & the loaded fries are great for sharing with the table! The espresso martini has everything you want, & you can't go wrong with their chicken sandwich!

I loved watching the bartenders make the drinks. It's mesmerizing. We tried the Koji Popcorn Chicken, Ezzo Pizza Dumplings, Seasoned Fries, Mama Chien's Dumplings (pork & sweet potato filled). All the food was amazing. I ordered a Kopiko Espresso Martini that I will go back 10x over to have again and again. I would say the only thing I'm not a huge fan of is going up to the bar to order every time you need something. I think they could really thrive using a QR system and/or digital tabs to make that process simpler. Also so you don't have to keep leaving the table. Either way, definitely worth it to check out!

Antiques on High was one of our favorite brewery stops during this trip…read more When I first suggested stopping at Antiques on High, my significant other kept saying he didn't want to go antique shopping. Once he realized it was actually a brewery, he was all in! The brewery has a great atmosphere, and the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Since we've been visiting several breweries during our getaway, they even gave us a Seventh Son passport, which was a nice surprise and a fun way to continue exploring the local brewery scene. I ordered the Wild & Sour flight and really enjoyed it. It was a great way to sample a variety of unique flavors, and each pour showcased the creativity and quality that Antiques on High is known for. Between the excellent beer selection, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a brewery I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area. Looking forward to stopping back again!

I went on a weekday and it was quiet. After dinner it was nice to walk around German Village and enjoy the houses and brick streets.

I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

I also loved the ambiance--it feels welcoming and is a great place to meet up with friends or family. The food was really good, and the menu offers a nice variety of options.

I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll take photos and pay more attention to what I order so I can give a more detailed review. For now, I'd absolutely recommend checking it out if you're looking for good food and a great atmosphere.

There are a few tables outside but it was pretty packed so we sat inside. The music was louder than I prefer but I like it pretty low so take that with a grain of salt. Our server came right away and brought water. He asked if we would like other drinks, were ready to order, or needed some time. I told him the coupe dishes I was trying to choose between and he gave me reviews on all three. I took his advice and ordered two appetizers to serve as my dinner- the cheese stuffed poblano pepper and the pork belly burnt ends. OMG. SO good! Nice sized poblano filled with pepperjack cheese, lightly crusted and deep fried. Served on a bed of spicy ranchero sauce and sour cream drizzled. The only complaint would be when I cut into it, a fair amount of grease from the fryer I assume gushed out. I soaked it up with a napkin and kept eating because it was delicious! The burnt ends were so tender and lightly sauced. Served with a sliced a Texas toast. My daughter had baked penne with pomodoro and meatball. She said it was tasty but not amazing. She said she was expecting a fancy sauce. Didn't realize pomodoro is tomato sauce. Took a fried egg sandwich and ceasar salad home for my son who said it was AMAZING. And some crispy chicken thighs for my husband. And all at quite reasonable prices. Total bill for all of that was $63. Before tip. Our server was so sweet. Didn't get his name. Perfect timing. Not overbearing but always there just when you need him. We will be back. Thank you

My husband had the Piedmontese filet mignon and he is an avid steak guy and he said it was excellent. He also really enjoyed the Gorgonzola cream.
