Don't sleep on this place! I finally had the pleasure of attending this establishment and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is outstanding and aesthetically pleasing. Extremely fast, and friendly service. The bar was well stocked, the drinks were amazing and reasonably priced and all the bartenders were wonderful. The vibe was super chill and the music was spectacular. I can't rave enough about how phenomenal the sound system was! The perfect volume to enjoy the music and feel like you're at a club, but not overly loud, so you could still have a conversation without having to yell. In my experience, this perfect utopian balance has always seemed difficult to achieve, but The Alibi has mastered the formula. Utterly Genius! I didn't eat here cause I arrived super late, but I'll be back to partake of the amazing variety of food. This spot was super clean, parking was a breeze, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here from start to finish. If you haven't been here yet, trust me and give it a shot. I'll be back!Update: I've been back to this establishment numerous times since my original post. As promised, I had to update re: the food. The food is absolutely delicious, with a variety of dishes that are impeccably made-to-order, with fresh ingredients that certainly don't disappoint. The food is well-seasoned, plated beautifully and reasonably priced, while boasting made-from-scratch cuisines. The appetizers perfectly compliment the always stellar drinks on the menu. And I'd be remiss if I didn't shout out ALL the incomparable bartenders. They are ALL truly phenomenal, especially the infamous Phelix and the beautiful Michelle, who I've had the pleasure of being waited on several times during my visits. Class act staff, food and cocktails, impeccably intertwined with an array of entertaining tunes and friendly patrons. The Alibi...what's not to love? - Lorraine
