In Short – The look is minimalist--soft gray walls and natural wood--but the vibe is fast and smoove, much like the electronica wafting from the owner's iPod. The bar itself is an off-center triangular shape, with hundreds of top-shelf vodka bottles lingering above. A cozy fireplace spawns more intimate conversations among the 20- to 40-somethings disproportionately dressed in black--much like the striking servers who tend the bar. A small menu features staples like sandwiches, burgers and fries to soak up the booze.

Good Booze Selection-Yummy Kogi Tacos
by jblaize at Citysearch
Nice to have a local bar-even tho I miss the dive bars that have now been taken over by the Yuppies ! and the prices tripled-
Anyway -On my way home from work-Having a craving for the Kogi Tacos- (I had several times off the truck)
I stop in after circling the area looking for parking (tuesday night too)-
Interior is concrete and grey-I like the triangle shape bar-Kinda dark and cold-Sit at the bar have the 3 tacos special and a glass of red raw power wine-7 plus 7=$14
Talk to some folks at the bar- and leave-
Overall good experience-The smoke from the patio filled the interior-yuck -
The bartender kinda slow and uninterested-
Noticed some top shelf tequilla's and Bourbans-agood sign-
- Pros: Good Selection of Booze
- Cons: Parking and Service

don't go if you are thirsty (or want service)
by llamadingo at Citysearch
I thought the girl bartenders were nice looking enough but were more interested in dancing with each other and moving in circles around the bar doing a lot of busy work than watching for all the customers trying to get their attention to buy drinks at the bar ( as there were a lot of us trying to spend our money.) I thought this would be a good neighborhood spot to come to often, but I can't justify the high prices with bartenders who don't seem to care about building a loyale customer base or paying attention to their clientele. After 40 minutes and only able to get one drink, we left. I probably won't go back. Too bad...Life is too short to waste time with poor service.
- Pros: nice interior decorating, lighting, effect
- Cons: not good service (bring a flask)

HORRIBLE BARTENDERS
by dknycs at Citysearch
A group of us went to the Alibi on Friday night. The bartender served 1 of us and ignored the other 3 girls. She was NOT busy at all. We finally got the other bartenders attention and told her that the rest of us want a drink as well. I ordered a Corona and she told me that they didn't have Corona and probably wouldn't have anything that I would like. She was SO rude. So I asked for a bar menu. As I was exploring my options I saw the bartender make a face and roll her eyes at my friend. My friend was shocked. If she hadn't ordered food already she said she would have walked out. We left after 1 drink and will not go back there, ever. All of us were appalled. Never have any of us received such horrible service. Both bartenders were useless and rude.
We went to The Garter that night and had a great time.
- Pros: cute bar
- Cons: the 2 bartenders
The Details on Alibi Room
Where to Sit:
Grab one of the briskly modern gray velvet chairs and cozy up to the fireplace--it's a little removed from the fray and more intimate. There's a patio for smokers.
On the Menu:
You have the choice of East Coast- or West Coast-style when if you order a Philly cheese steak. East means you get authentic Cheez Whiz; go west and it's white cheddar.
Fun Fact:
The lounge offers Czechwar beer on tap, and is one of the only bars in California to serve the Czech favorite.
