Great drinks and service, but beware the checkout screen…read more The drinks and service at Unknown Caller are genuinely fantastic. I highly recommend the "Bartender's Choice" cocktail option--the staff is incredibly skilled, and the drinks they crafted were awesome. However, management needs to fix their highly deceptive checkout flow. The bar chooses not to bake Tennessee's mandatory 15% Liquor-by-the-Drink tax into their menu prices. When the bartender flips the POS tablet to pay, the system completely hides the itemized receipt. It jumps straight to a final total that includes a combined 24.25% in state and liquor taxes. To make matters worse, the screen presents ridiculous suggested tip options of 20%, 30%, and 40%--which are calculated on top of that heavily taxed final total rather than the subtotal. If you just tap a prompt, you end up aggressively tipping on hidden taxes. Come for the excellent cocktails and great bartenders, but ignore the suggested buttons and manually calculate your tip based on the actual menu price of your drinks.

Ambiance: GORGEOUS patio and perfect place to watch the sunset! They have fireplaces and heaters on the patio. Food: we got wings, mac and cheese, chicken Bahn mi, and deviled eggs! The best entree is the wings! The mac and cheese portion is insane! It can feed a small village probably. We split it in between four people and couldn't finish. The banh mi wasn't impressive but it's ok. The eggs were good too but not too memorable. Service: Zach was amazing, so attentive. I sat myself outside on the patio and I was greeted shortly sitting down. He was also very honest with recommendations which I really appreciated. Overall: love love love! Great place for an intimidate date and an amazing view of downtown Chattanooga!

"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.

On walking in I discovered this was quite an interesting and eclectic spot for an adult beverage. They do have a very interesting selection of beverages and the patrons were even more interesting than the beverages. You get excellent service here along with the fantastic ambiance.

Overall it is certainly one of the more unique places I have visited in the Chattanooga area.

This is a spot for anyone who likes a great cocktail - no matter your age. Low lighting with tiny LEDs in the ceiling to make you feel like you are enjoying a night under the stars (without the summer heat or the winter chill). No idea what you want? Have one of the super friendly bartenders whip you up a beautiful drink with an infused ice cube to top it off. Matilda, we are very happy you're back! There are far too many bars in the area that are loud and stressful, but you have real class with an ambiance that beckons.

Can't recommend this cocktail bar enough!…read more We visited the bar late night while staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Despite clearly being short staffed and having a busy night - we were greeted almost immediately and encouraged to help ourselves to a seat. We sat at a table away from the bar (only one available) and a server came by to take our drink order. Before he could return, another employee - who was running food to another table - immediately came over to us after to see if we wanted to order food (which we did!). She took our order, then the drinks arrived and before we knew it the food was out and was incredible! The menu is quite limited - and even more so when you one of you doesn't eat meat - and yet we were able to make a meal out of 2 caesar salads, the hummus plate and the deviled eggs. And don't even get me started on the cocktails! We started with a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini that were perfectly crafted. And then for our dessert round switched to their signature Old Fashioned. Each one was better than the next! Thanks for an incredible time, Whiskey Thief. We will definitely we back!

If you want outdoor seating, get here early because space outside is limited. Inside, there's plenty of seating options with high-top tables, couches, and bar seating that create a relaxed atmosphere. We came mainly for the view and drinks, and the view absolutely delivered. Watching the sunset over the river was easily the highlight of the experience and worth seeing at least once. For drinks, we ordered Old Fashioneds and Margaritas. Unfortunately, both were just average and didn't live up to the setting or atmosphere. Service was also disappointing. The staff was not very attentive, and at one point we actually had to leave our table and go to the bar to find our waiter. In the end, the incredible view couldn't make up for the mediocre drinks and poor service. Great view, but this ended up being a one-and-done visit for us.
