"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.

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!

We got a table on the patio, since we had my mother's dog along. patio is a little small, but decent. I was super pumped about ordering the breakfast tostada. Went to order and found out they were out. So, I ordered the farmhouse skillet. Food took a little while to order, even though they weren't that busy. Food was delicious. Perfect size and yummy. My mom and step dad ordered the steak breakfast. They ordered medium well and it came out medium at best. I will say, it was nice that a nice gentleman brought the dog some water. It was a decent place.

The food here is definitely run-of-the-mill bar food and could probably use improvements, but like I said if you're just looking for a spot to drink at then this is a good choice. I was here with a friend on Saturday and we enjoyed our time here. The fried potato wedges were pretty good. I liked my strawberry daiquiri and my friend liked her sour apple Monster drink (...? forgetting the exact name but it's something like that). She wasn't really a fan of the strawberry lemonade daiquiri though. Overall everything was pretty good. Nice vibe to the place. Plenty of TVs to watch sports. They had the Braves game on so that was nice. I'd definitely come again.
