Description

For the only ironclad alibi that actually contains the word alibi, go to the Alibi Room. This is definitely a local bar, mainly because it's so easy to miss. Especially because the yards and yards of ABC gum (that is to say, Already Been Chewed) on the opposite wall is, well, astounding in its ugliness. Fortunately, the bar itself is the picture of taste: its walls are exposed brick, the lighting is dim but for the spotlights highlighting works by local artists that always hang the walls (they switch it up every month or so), and despite it's obscure location, this is a place to see and be seen. Tempting entrées include seared sliced scallops with marsala cream and salmon with black beans and cornbread. The staff is horribly good-looking, the drinks are small masterpieces of mixology, and Long Island iced teas are forbidden. During the summer, happy hour is from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day.
