The severs were very good, food was also good. Unfortunately they didn’t have my favorite beer or my second favorite, but overall I think it was a good experience

The last time I’ve been here was years ago. I came here with a friend for brunch, we sat outside on the patio and I ordered an avocado toast. It was good and we had a nice time. I would come back to try their other brunch foods.
Recently I came with a large group of friends for some late night food on a Saturday night. There was a bunch of seating inside for all of us. I ordered the Black Bean Noods and added ground beef to my bowl. Wait time wasn’t bad. After a few moments, a server came by and said that they forgot to add my hard-boiled egg lol. Service was good.
I was looking forward to trying what I ordered, especially since I love black bean noodles. And maybe I was a little too excited or had high standards, but my black bean noodles didn’t taste like the ones I’ve had in the past. I was pretty disappointed by it. I liked the pickles in my bowl, I liked the sauce and the consistency of the noodles was chewy just how I like it to be. The pickles added a nice acidity to the overall savory flavor profile. The ground beef was flavorful and added to the overall dish. It was a savory bowl but it lacked umami. When I tasted it, I knew it was missing something flavor-wise as a whole. My bowl was okay, just not spectacular to me.
I think I would’ve been better off ordering the K-pop fries because my friend really liked it and it also had all the ingredients I’d like. For what I ordered, I felt like the price didn’t correlate to the quality and taste of the dish. I wouldn’t pay that much for what I ordered again. We still had a good time but I wouldn’t order this again.

My family LOVES bitter alibi. I have been going since before I met my husband (pre 2010). So, I’m a long time fan, first time reviewer. Lisa, Caleb and Cecily (and Abby that’s not there ) makes us feel at home and seem to love when we come in. They all take amazing care of us. We love bringing out of town we’d to one of our favorite spots.

really enjoyed our time – wish we could have stayed longer!
this place feels local, casual, and welcoming. Its quant and cozy inside. We just popped in for a drink before a dinner reservation down the street and enjoyed talking to the bartender so much we wished we didn’t have to leave. Others were ordering food that looked and smelled great! Would definitely visit again!

Amazing food! Intimate bar atmosphere, but low-key enough for conversation. Perfect for groups with their at the counter orders. Fast service and friendly staff. I went twice during my stay in Chattanooga, had the BA Ramen with the wonton nachos and the BA burger with fries, and everything was incredible. Will be coming back.

It was my second time at @thebitteralibi , this fusion dive bar has some amazing happy hour drinks and amazing food.
The unique food is so good and the chicken sando was so massive, what a great value at $12.

At The Bitter Alibi, the vibe is set,
A cozy haunt you won’t forget.
The ramen’s wild — a flavor parade,
Like miso dreams that chefs have made.
The broth is bold, the noodles tight,
Each bowl a twist, pure foodie delight.
But what makes it shine, beyond the fare,
Are the hearts and smiles that welcome you there.
So raise a glass, don’t pass it by —
Cheers to the crew at The Bitter Alibi!

We had a really fun time. Apparently there are frequently different things going on around the different levels, of which there are three. The bottom, my favorite, is kind of “dive bar” themed. There is also a patio for outdoor seating, and respectful smoking is allowed. The bartender downstairs helped us to navigate the menu, explore the specials and order drinks. We went with the specials, a carafe of mimosas, bloody Marys and an order of dumplings. Everything was great! Try the specials. Enjoy!

The bartenders were amazing and had great recommendations! The Fun Guy tacos and Creamsicle drink were both better than expected, noting I’m not sure what I was expecting or why I would def order both again!

Hipster vibes with amazing Ramen. This is a cool place to stop in for a drink or the ramen, which is something they’re known for. The building was once a house, converted to bar space with 2 floors & a front porch for seating. We chose the front porch since the weather was right & not overly hot. We both ordered the pork belly ramen, (BA Ramen on the menu) which did not let us down. It had some spice to it, but the right amount. If you’re a fan of ramen, this is a must try. We also tried the potstickers as an appetizer, which were great. Fair prices & friendly staff.
