Alibi Brooklyn Reviews
mamdami won and their guinness pours are impeccable !!! sexiest tuesday ever ! hurrah. !!
I thought this place was awesome. Went there on the recommendation of a travel guide, looking for something "real". It turned out to be like an English pub; dirty, sticky, cheap beer, pool table and staff with a sense of humour. Exactly what I wanted. If you wanna take a break from the high-class dining and $12 plus beer prices in New York, definitely visit here!
divey dive bar $12 for a Modelo and shot of Espolón 👌

This is what I remember NYC bars being. Cloae yout eyes, take a deep breath, and that's what bars smelled like in 1975 (I'm not thatvold, but back thenbit wasn't unusual for your grandfather to bring you to his watering hole when he needed to meet a friend. The good old days!
Has always been a solid dive bar. Very chill place with great vibes and strong drinks. Happy hour till 8pm on Friday's is really great. This place is cash only.
Cool bar with a vibrant pool scene. Everybody was friendly and more than willing to put up with inferior pool players. Had a payed jukebox so music will definitely be hit or miss.
Great music and plenty of distractions, including pool, bar-style video games, fire place, and sports on TV. Dive vibe filled with happy people.
Drew is the best! They do karaoke monthly w a 4 piece live band - pretty sick Also, they have a back courtyard area with plenty of seating, pool table, and great regulars! My bourbon was $7 🤩
Highly underrated neighborhood dive. Intimate front of house for a divey feel, lots of room out back for larger groups. Get a red stripe for five bucks and catch yourself a vibe
My first bar in Brooklyn. It was great. Love the nostalgia of a dive bar. I'd go back when in the city. Probably choose something better than 6 dollar wine glasses. But that's everywhere. The guys working were chill and friendly.
The bartender was fast and relaxed. He could do his job while still making people feel at home. Solid drink prices. Also, they were playing the discovery channel. I love places without TVs, but that was a good choice for winding down after a long day.

A respectable dive. Pratt kids mix with all stripes. My sister lived around the corner on Vanderbilt and overheard many lewd, late night convos from the backyard.
Lovely vibes, the drinks are solid, the prices are normal. Might be biased because of the good company, but I had a great time on the back patio.
My favorite watering hole! Love the pool table! Love the backyard (took off 1 star because they close the back early) Love the low drink prices. Love the mixture of the crowd. I ❤ Alibi!!!
I love this place, it's a bit of a dive bar, but that's y I like it. It has a nice back area and good happy hour. I love the female bartender, she freaking rocks
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and their always glad you came. Been here a few short times, heck I work right next door. Good times because this bar is a melting pot of everyone. Your not gonna find this any place else on the planet. Good prices. Not much for ascetics but your gonna get plowed anyway it could be the taj mahal in your eyes! Everyones family. Enjoy yourself.
Staple neighborhood dive bar. Their mixed drinks are STRONG. If you get a beer, I recommend getting bottled - their draft beer tasted a little weird (not sure if lines are cleaned). They have pinball, pool, and a backyard.

If you really need a drink and don't want to be bothered with people and their kids then this is the place for you. Has some arcade games and small pool table. Drinks are cheap. The back yard is fairly big for NYC. Just beware that most of the patrons are on "something" that's not alcohol, even though they are drinking. Good place to score "something" if you stick around long enough. No two people in this bar look alike so it's perfect fro most New Yorker's.

One of the weirdest and worst bars i’ve ever been to. Great Guinness though I won’t lie.

I asked the bartender if they offer a beer and a shot special. He said they have beer and shots. Then he wouldn't serve me or my friend. I'd rather go to Do or Dive on Bedford Ave. for a $6 Low Life
