I'm waiting for an Alibi

by paulsiler

The bar I'd rather be in. I've stopped in and sat next to some college hats and had a grizzly sailor looker on the other side. I keep seeing hot girls hanging out and dancing. Where did all the kick ass bartenders come from?

• Pros: hot girls, real music, Djs
• Cons: not much

Have been dying for a pub with good music.

A wonderful escape from the glass and neon of Glenwood. I was crushed when Lizzie's closed but thrilled when Alibi reopened as pretty much the same cool place. Best jukebox in Raleigh if you are an alt rock/indie fan. Cheap cheap cheap.

• Pros: Jukebox, Inexpensive, Comfortable
• Cons: Needs a bigger crowd

by barefo65

awesome hangout. kinda hip, kinda swanky. great bartenders. candle lit . love the jukebox and the super cool decor.

• Pros: cool location, great decor, not too crowded
• Cons: none

Not every alibi is perfect, but this laid-back, intimate bar comes pretty close.

In Short
A tiny subterranean hangout in downtown Raleigh, Alibi's exposed brick, pipe-lined rafters, cozy booths and good beer specials combine to make it one of Raleigh's favorite hole-in-the-wall destinations. Not surprisingly, the relaxed atmosphere attracts a diverse crowd of all ages, though the regulars are mostly on the younger side. Most nights a DJ spins but make sure to check out the well-stocked jukebox.
