Review of The Alibi Room

I've lived in the neighborhood for over 4 years no...

I've lived in the neighborhood for over 4 years now, so perhaps I'm a bit biased, but I love the alibi room. There is little turnover of staff (from what I can tell as a patron), so this feels like a place where those who work there are treated well. But most importantly, I always, without fail, find a new beer I didn't know I wanted. I prefer sours and stouts, and they always have a superb selection of these. By offering a few adjectives (ie fruity, no hops, a bit bubbly) the staff always select a new beer for me that I fall in love with.
I had a boulvardier (cocktain) the other night and I was floored once again by my love for the alibi room: not only good beer, but good cocktails too. Their veggie burger is satisfying, but the fries are meh. (Oh and I love the vibe; dark but well lit, high ceilings but cozy, noisy but intimate)
Ultimately, I bring all dates, all friends, all family members here when we want a great drink and some silly conversation.
