the bitter alibi

i had a great meal here. unfortunately stepping down stairs and meeting the to cool for school staff at the lower bar made me realize why i avoid super cool hipster holdover locations. mr. muscles was to preoccupied with his on awesomeness to take my order. i felt like the staff looked right through me. no bother. anytime pork belly is on themenuget ready for the accompanying white privilege.

wow. what a hidden gem. hipster might be a good description but in a positive light.menuis truly creative from breakfast to lunch/dinner. the "seoul train has red potatoes hash, korean pork, soft boiled egg, spinach and sambal. for a sandwich try kermits egg consisting of pepperoni, hard salami, bacon, shredded mozzarella, pepperonicinis, vinaigrette
the menus is truly creative and worth trying
service is great. prices are reasonable. check out themenui posted
definitely not your local ihop or deny's. it is far far better than both of them. tried their mimosas and it was good but the mix was more champagne skimping out on the orange juice.
come visit

like a secret hideaway. i don't do the bar scene, but we really enjoyed the bitter alibi tonight--it's charmingly in a basement without being gross. it's comfortably small and has a great beer selection. i really like the crispin pear cider and a brown ale i had, both on tap, and the sandwiches are pretty decent. i got the roasted broccoli, which i won't do again, and the el hambre sandwich of shaved chicken with mexican spices, pepper jack cheese and spinach. there was supposed to be some pico de gallo in there, but i could have done with a lot more. chips are nothing special, though you can get some bbq sauce to go with them. i shoulda tried the beans and corn side that was suggested. i was looking forward to a chickpea salad i saw on the website, but that wasn't on themenui received and i forgot to ask.

i had a hard time walking in the right door--there's an open sign in the house above the bar, but you don't go in that door, you go down the alley and underneath the back stairs into the big black door with a great chalk-like design on it. it was a great cozy place with no smoke, i will totally be going back!

great unique take on bar food & environment. the only other bar that i've been to with the same type of environment was in salzburg, austria. a welcoming entryway with patio string lights leads you to the classiest basement bar you've ever been to. the environment is great for meeting people and trying some quality beers. make sure to try the food- it is the type of bar food you don't have to feel guilty about the next morning- in fact, you might even crave it at lunchtime. withmenuitems inspired by various dishes around the world, the flavors in the bitter alibi's food are memorable and engaging. definitely try it out.
