About the Company
rating: 4.4
Dive Bar- (n.) a colloquial American term for a disreputable bar or pub. It may also be referred to as "neighborhood bar", where local residents gather to drink and socialize. Did you ever watch the TV show Cheers? A lot like that only dirtier bathrooms and a better looking owner!

Drinks were good, 2 long Islands I had and was impressed by the price. Come to find out the bartender tipped themself I think. So allegedly it was supposed to be $6.50 a drink, which I was impressed and happy about, then I saw I ended up being charged $18.25 for two drinks. So if they really are $7 , it was $14 for the drinks and they threw in a $4 tip for themselves because I had a tab open. Not cool, I was thinking about going back until I saw what I was actually charged. Never again.

Stopped into this place before a Brahma s Game game at the Alamodome, perfect place to go before and after the game, just about a block or two from the North Entrance of the Dome. Great atmosphere and mix crowd, even pet friendly. Bartenders were attentive and helped us right away, we were able to get more than one round without a long wait. It also had a great outdoor patio out front to relax and sit.

I wanted to share my amazing experience as a first timer at Alibi s. This little bar was a little quiet at first then the locals showed up. Lol They were naturally curious about someone they ve never seen there before but welcomed me with open arms. They were so funny, so cool, so generous, everyone bought me a drink, and definitely showed me how close everyone was. I told them I was just visiting SA for the weekend and they said well we will miss you, you don t just have friends here you are now part of the Alibi s family. So we drank, great beer selection btw, and we danced, and we sang and had a good old time. Definitely returning when I head back to SA. Say hi to everyone for me.

Nick and team at Alibis are hands down the best bar downtown. I ve spent many of birthdays there and they never fail to to provide a fantastic time. Nick is consummate professional and entrepreneur, and makes everyone feel welcome. Everyone should stop by at least one time to enjoy a drink, experience the music, and atmosphere Once you do, you will always wanna go back! I gotta smoker

Great low key vibe and great prices. One of the female bartenders did not want to accept my ID, which is fair because it s an uncommon ID, luckily the male bartender with tattoo sleeves accepted it. The bartender was funny and welcoming will definitely be back. PS it was a DACA work permit use it all the time to fly, I m guessing it should be good enough to get a drink.
