They had some good vegan options on the menu -- A new menu had just come out a few days before I got here. The starters are quite small (a good portion, not standard American portions). I got the vegan tacos and they were super spicy! Not really what I was looking for, but I dipped fries in the extra spicy sauce so problem solved! The starter vegan dumplings have a little too little filling, but otherwise they're great. The staff are incredibly sweet and honest. I went on Emo Night (Mondays) and it was very fun Updated from previous review on 2024-03-25

I love it here! The food is so freaking good. Like top 10 places in chatt good. They have a basement which is more of a bar feel and can get crowded. They have outside patio seating which is nice and private and also seating upstairs. They serve a mean brunch so you have to go multiple times to get the full experience. If you are visiting Chatt you have to stop here.Vegetarian options: So amazing. This is a gem for vegetarians in the chatt area. Especially if you like spice and good cocktails.Parking: There are some free street parking spots on the street and paid parking on the street. We have never struggled to find parking so matter how busy the area is.

Delicious food! We did a pick up order but the atmosphere was nice and the employees seemed very nice! We would definitely choose the Bitter name because of the delicious food and fun name!

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.

Very weird spot to visit. You have to walk down sketchy spiral stairs if entering from the street and order food downstairs at the bar. Serve your own water as well. We enjoyed the crab rangoon and flavors of the bulgolgi Philly cheese and veggie ramen, unfortunately fries were fridge cold and inedible at 6pm on a Saturday night. One of us also got sick two hours later at a local concert venue ruining the event…not the first review to mention sickness from the food. Eater beware. Maybe try another spot or roll the dice here.

Cozy, cool, and moody, this place is a ~vibe~ for any night out! Service is friendly, drinks come out fast, and I didn't try the food, but it looked good from what I could see. I highly recommend the dirty chai w/ oat milk. I was happily sipping on this drink under the colorful lights for about an hour. I'll be back!

One of my favourite lil joints in town.The drinks are good - the beautiful folk behind the bar are rad - & the food will make any meal an occasion. Love bringing folk in to share in this!
