I resisted putting the Alibi on this list for a long time for the simple
reason that EVERYONE goes there. By popular request, however, here goes.
The Alibi has all the ingredients that make up a really cool dive bar.
First noticed is the big original sign out front, illuminating University
Ave. with it's dull, sun faded yellowish aura. The entrance doesn't look
straight into the bar, but is sideways so wandering kids aren't able to
cast sidelong glances into the pit of nastiness and sin.
Darkness covers the whole place and is only magnified by the black that
the majority of the patrons are wearing EXCEPT in the pool area. This is
where I like this place. There is always a damn good pool game being played
here with cool people.
Come to think of it, I don't know exactly why I didn't want to include
this bar. It contains all the ingredients that make up a good dive (see
below) I guess just too many people know about it.
Fun Stuff:
Candy/Nut machine
DAMN good jukebox
Really tiny bathrooms (at least the men's) so be careful
Two 50-cent(?) pool tables. If you're gonna put your name up be ready to
play.
$1.75 25 oz. drafts, 2.00 wells every night
Comments:
Good place to meet on Thursday nights if you're going to Club Hedonism
(Rich's) about two blocks down.

"tits") used to hang out there before moving to Vegas.
