How good's your Alibi?

Alibi Room is the permanent home of Kogi BBQ. It is a totally and completely cool lounge in its own right. Great vibe. Great looking bartenders. Great drinks. They even stock Hendricks Gin, which has forever changed my life. 

The maestros behind Beechwood and The Brig in Venice did a complete makeover on Alibi Room. Formerly, it featured a well-worn pool table circled by cigarette smokers who donned Allman Brothers concert T-shirts without irony. Now, the Alibi has a dramatic, lacquered wood triangular bar, a gallery of wry, formalist photographs of swimming pools along one wall, a trim sofa-by-the-fireplace conversation nook, sake and wineglass storage suspended from the ceiling and a menu featuring Kogi BBQ.

Last night, I met up with some friends after work and sampled the Kogi Breakfast Burrito with hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and short rib as well as the Kogi Sliders with cheese, sesame mayo, and short rib. Dee-lish. Of course, later we cleared our palettes with something sweet at Yogurtland! Sure it may be a little out of the way, but it is well worth it. Check it out some time.

Punchlines
An honest day's pay for an honest day's work. That's what they told me. And it sounded right. Fair, you know? However, I'm now older and wiser, and I've found...
...I'm better off with an honest day's pay for an honest day's shirk. I learned that from Dub-ya.
