Took my wife to the Harry Potter night. First thing we noticed was our waitress was sick as a dog. It was a little disturbing watching her wipe her nose then serve our food n drink. The mixed drinks were horrible. The second drink my wife got she couldn’t even drink it it was that bad. The frozen wontons that were heated up in the microwave were horrible. We had to cut our time short n head over to Croxleys for real food n drinks.

Came to this location for a “Mr. Grinch Christmas Pop-Up”. We paid $30 per person x 4 people so $120 just for seats to sit at the pop up which we thought included a show. None of this included food. When we got there the place was small. It was cute and decorated but nothing like I had expected from photos online. I was very disappointed by the fact that their was not a full menu. The food menu consisted of only 6 bar food items (pretzels, egg rolls, chips, hummus, mini pizza). We only ordered two alcoholic drinks which were $15 each and so strong you couldn’t even drink it. If you ask for a drink without alcohol you are still charged the same amount. In total we paid $150 for bar “food” not including the tip and this was on top of the $120 we paid just to sit there for the “show” and seats. The show was probably the worst part of it all. I was extremely disappointed when I realized my $120 went down the drain as soon as the grinch came out an hour after we were seated. The grinch sang one song for 2 minutes and then spent the last 30 minutes taking pictures with people and then sang one other song for 2 minutes right at the end. You can NOT charge people $30 per person x 4 = $120 for a show and seats and then play 2 songs for 5 minutes. That’s absolutely insane and then to charge us $150 for food on top of it??!?? We literally spent $300 last night for 4 people to eat bar finger foods and watch somebody dressed up in a grinch costume sing for legit 5 minutes. What a gimmick. I feel absolutely robbed. I will post photos because I essentially paid for the photos at this point because I guess this place is just for influencers to take pictures to show “look where I was during the holidays, while you weren’t” type vibe. So yes come here if you want to pay $300 for subpar bar food and pictures with the grinch and cute decor, but if you are expecting a show you will get 2 songs…

We came here for the Nightmare Before Christmas show. It was awesome! We had a great time and the actors were great! Food was just frozen finger foods and the drinks were all batch cocktails but overall, it was a great atmosphere and I would do it again next year.

The photos that are attached to this one speakeasy Noo longer apply... looks like they are under a complete reconstruction of the interior. The drinks were good but the cool ambiance of the old style speakeasy is gone.

Alibi Lounge feels like your local Youth Pastor made a cocktail lounge. The decor feels like someone went to IKEA and said “this looks hip” then bought the store out and threw it together hastily. The drinks are tasty; but uninspiring.We had the strawberry gin smash (missing garnish) and the skid row. Good hot summer night cocktails for sure; but definitely felt like I could’ve got these at Applebees and nobody would’ve known any better.Two stars feels low; but three stars feels too high.Plus side: band was really good!

Went in tonight after not being there for a few years. There was no longer a speak easy entrance, you walk right into the main room. All the furniture was off to each side and the decor was no longer there. Also, there were no customers. What happened to this place?

It is advertised as an "Intimate speakeasy/ lounge". It was the opposite of intimate, and definitely not any speak easy we've encountered. It was extremely busy and loud, with more than 25 people waiting to get on a mike to hone their craft as comics. This is also not like any comedy club we've experienced since the performers were walking in and out of the front door, talking and distracting each other.The staff there were very nice and the food was surprisingly good, but it's a very dingy place and the seats were so uncomfortable. The food had to be eaten from a small, low coffee table rather than a table where you can eat comfortably. The bathroom was filthy. ?

Excellent drinks, perfect place to start off the night. Seems like the perfect spot to go with a couple friends to drink and talk.

Veronica Bean

Amazing service and a great cocktail list. Recommend the jalapeno popper wontons they were very good.

Was looking forward to visiting this place. We had a great night. The drinks were perfect. Chris was really helpful with picking out drinks. The owners were really welcoming. And we loved getting to hangout with Dino. Definitely recommend.

I went for the Mr Grinch pop up - it was a great time - of course since it was an event - there was a special limited menu finger food and speciality cocktails. Speaking with the waitress she advised they are in the process of changing this from a Speakeasy to a lounge for regular nights - can't wait to go back and check it out

Great fun at the Grinch pop-up event! Drinks were amazing! Snacks were tasty, and, there was a mix up with our reservation and they accommodated us without any issues. Great atmosphere and staff!

This a fun place! Drinks are good, ambiance is awesome, and they host open mics, which are incredibly funny. Definitely check this place out.
