A secret little gem. The best mixologists on staff. We didn't have any food but I'm sure it's great. You feel like you are in an old school speak easy. Katya was awesome! read more

Sat near bar so bartender Summer waited on us. She's very nice. Nice casual outdone area we had a table/booth you step up into. Not too noisy but was less than half full. Outside is completely covered and cool. read more

Stopped in for a drink last night, while waiting for a table for dinner around the corner. Summer at the bar was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I enjoyed one of their NA mocktails which was delightful (low hanging fruit was the name) and hubs enjoyed a vodka based cocktail called waste management, served in a mini trash can! We were worried it would be too sweet and Summer convinced us otherwise. Hubs said it was balanced, not too sweet, and refreshing... anything but garbage! The place is really cute inside too, and the bar had hooks underneath, so you know it's legit! read more

Drinks and food are expensive and average at best. It is outside under cover but it is hot in the summer

We happened upon this place by accident, were walking around and heard the DJ and thought the music sounded fun! Glad we stopped in because they have a very interesting cocktail menu! Some drinks I've never heard of, and some classic drinks that they put their own twist on. The only thing I didn't understand is why they closed at 1:00 a.m. on a Friday night? But it seems like this whole town shuts down pretty early. read more

Always a great experience here and every bartender has been great. The food menu changes every now and then, but the espresso martini and the old fashioned are some of my favorites. read more

Drinks, ambiance, and our server were amazing. Gabby so sweet and attentive. Main issue was the food... I get that we are close to the beach but broccoli should never taste like the sea. Steak was cold and seemed not to be seasoned. I get it has a sauce which honestly was tastier than the steak. read more

Went to The Alibi for happy hour during a port stop at Port Canaveral. It's a cool bar, with dim lighting, old school furniture, and excellent service. My wife and I sat at the bar, where the bartender was enthusiastic about taking our orders. We ordered drinks, the French and an Old Fashioned. They were so good, we ordered a second round, and the bartender even added smoke to my old fashioned with a blowtorch. We also got most of the food on the happy hour menu, including the Mussels, fish dip, and lettuce wraps. The mussels were on the small side but tasty, especially at $8 for an order. The fish dip was also good, but my favorite were the lettuce wraps. The ground beef was seasoned well and the butter lettuce was fresh. I would definitely come regularly if i were a local. read more

Came for a private event, stayed because the cocktails were dangerously delicious. I don't know what I ordered--something with Empress gin, coconut, and magic?--but it was incredible. Honestly tasted like vacation in a glass. Would absolutely drink three more and forget I'm still in the city. Yes, we were sweating our collective faces off (and possibly our souls), but the fans gave it their all. Hydration was on point--staff kept the water flowing like champs. Outdoor seating had some... character (read: ripped cushions), but let's be real--I wasn't there for the upholstery. I was there for booze, vibes, and a cocktail that made me believe in joy again. Place was clean, staff was cool, and though it was a little hard to find the first time, now that we've discovered it--we'll be back for round two (or three). Bring a portable fan and a thirst for great drinks. Alibi delivers. read more

Went on a Sunday night and our bartender Lauren was so sweet and fun to talk to! She made our night! Here are the drinks we had: Plead the 5th - sweet, spicy with a nice elderflower aftertaste. Gives me chills ! Perjury- Sweet, cinnamony, a little bit of a deeper flavor. Doesn't give you much because of the large ice cube but the taste is absolutely amazing. Pear Cocktail- Vanilla chai pear cocktail that was so freaking delicious. billy smokin gun- Mezcal - sweet and smoky read more

My BF and I were in the area and were looking for somewhere to grab a quick drink when we found The Alibi. It's a beautiful spot with dim lighting and a great ambiance. They had a huge cocktail menu with reasonable prices and a variety of drinks. It was a Saturday night and it was BUSY but we were able to find a spot at the bar. The bartender was attentive and friendly, he made us feel welcome even though he was very busy. We did not eat but the food items that we did see looked great. I forget the name of the drink I got but it was similar to an old fashioned and my BF got a mezcal drink that was on their online menu but not in print and the bartender still made it for him. Overall, we had a great experience and we'd definitely go back if we're in the area again! read more

The Alibi Cocktails & Bites - Korean steak and eggs. Excellent. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Best craft cocktail bar on the Space Coast. Hands down. The place where other bartenders go to drink, when they're not serving. The look is great! Sadly, because there isn't the largest audience for craft cocktails, in Cocoa Beach, they do a lot of the more "beach bar" stuff to get by. When you turn them loose though, on their classic cocktails, and ask the bartenders for their creations, you get some pretty awesome drinks. Food? More of a mixed bag. The charcuterie board is okay. The place, nearby, that doesn't have a full bar, but does charcuterie, has them beat, on that one. The kitchen isn't their real strength, although, with a little work, it could be. That would amp them up to a solid five-stars. They have a good following. Hopefully it will continue to grow. It's worth the drive over here, if you're in Cocoa, Merritt, etc. read more

Nice atmosphere both inside and outside and the bartender was friendly . Cocktails are a good value during g happy hour! The French 75 was pleasant. Easy to drink. The Sazerac during happy hour is a good deal! The first one was perfect, dry enough. The second ended up sweeter ? The happy hour food offerings were different than what we read online and were pretty heavy on the dips. So we had the fish dip which was good. The caprese was good... just nothing out of the ordinary and didn't really fit the drink specials. read more

I can't be sure, but I'd bet that many of the eateries in this beautiful beach town cater to tourists. They probably aren't that amazing. The Alibi is not one of those places. This place is perfect. The decor is beautiful, and so is the staff. The live music was soulful. The food was delicious. Not at all what you would expect in a community that probably caters to passers by. If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Even ordering off menu for finicky eaters was a breeze. read more

Bad service. Bar tenders ruined the whole night. Would not recommend to anyone looking to have a fun night out.

My wife and I loved the ambience of this gem of a find in Cocoa. My Sazerac was good, if a little less Absinthe forward than I prefer ( but I LOVE Absinthe). Pork Belly Flatbread, Pear salad , OG wagyu steak, all soooo good. read more

Amazing drinks! This place is a must for anyone that likes well-made cocktails. The bartender was very friendly and explained what some of the different ingredients in the cocktails were. Every drink we had tasted different and was great. The couple next to us at the bar had some appetizers and they said they've been here several times and the food is always good. Next time we'll come with an appetite for sure. read more

Alibi Cocktail & Bites have become a main stop when we visit Cocoa Beach! We cannot help but be repeat offenders to this unique venue for sophisticated craft cocktails and delicious bites. The food is excellent, but it's the expertly crafted cocktails that keep us coming back. The mixologists behind the bar are extremely friendly and inviting. They make you feel like a regular, whether you are or not! Darrius and Lauren are the "unusual" suspects when we pop in, but Corey cannot be overlooked. Darrius has a vast knowledge of his craft and executes its very well! Thanks to Darrius, I have a new appreciation for the Negroni Cocktail, along with many others! And Lauren created a cocktail that I am totally in love it, the best Espresso Old Fashioned Ever! As for the food, they have a unique hot dog menu made with Wagyu Beef Hot Dogs... surprisingly great! The Windy City Dog is our fav! All of the flatbreads are delicious, but we are partial to their amazing Charcuterie Board! Stop into Alibi any night of the week for a great experience, unique to Cocoa Beach! You will not be disappointed! read more

It's bittersweet that the Alibi is in Cocoa Beach! Their cocktails and bites are so delicious, but I'd be here almost daily! The Acquittal is hands down my favorite cocktail prepped here! The smokiness of the mezcal paired with the chartreuse and fruity foam... wowza. If you are a fan of aesthetically pleasing drinks in Instagrammable containers, the Waste Management drink should be on your list! It comes in a mini-size trash bin and presented with a cinammon stick and lime garnish. Their charcuterie board is filled with pita, cheeses, cured meats, candied walnuts, and some of the best honey I've ever had. The Alibi is definitely a great addition to the area and Brevard as a whole. read more

Underwhelming. The $15 cocktail was more mixer than anything else. The ambiance isn't worth the $$. Decor tries to be cute but ultimately feels cookie cutter for this type of place. Felt like I was drinking a mocktail in a chipotle. read more

So glad I got a chance to stop by this cocktail bar before we left Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach. We had a situation with our Lyft getting into a car accident with us in the car, ridiculous. So that made us late arriving to the bar literally at closing time. The bartender was so nice he allowed us in and made some great, cute drinks, offered great conversation and was super nice. This place is an entire vibe. Great music, beautiful decor/atmosphere. If I had a restaurant, it would look like this. Sleek and pretty. Highly recommend. read more

Id heard a lot about the Alibi in Cocoa beach, although it was described as a speakeasy which it is not. It's a very cute bar with fun cocktails, we had Plead the Fifth, which was delicious. I ordered the edamame (fantastic) and Charcuterie board. My friend's got the burger and a wedge salad. i was disappointed it wasnt a speakeasy but its still a lovely bar/restaurant. read more

Outstanding local wine bar with an Exceptional outdoor bar and a cool, dark indoor one. It's perfect. They were open around 4PM on a Sunday when no one else was. Lucky us because they weren't our first choice. NO TVs. That is a good thing. Come here to disconnect for a bit. Talk to the bar manager who is a younger, thinner version of me with great hair haha. The charcuterie board was rockin. It was huge and presented with care. Wine was great. The place has an interesting history. Stop in, grab a drink and a bite, and speak to the staff about it. The manager will show you pictures on his phone. Bathrooms were super duper clean. We'll be back here, for sure. read more

Went after hours, this place is sexy!! Espresso martini could have had a little more liquor but the place def makes up for that. Must visit

Went here on a couples & cocktails night with some friends without having been here before, but looking for a "cocktail" place. We were blown away! The sleepy beachy Space Coast area is seriously lacking in places like this. The vibe was great, the interior was speakeasy spot on, the service was exceptional, the drinks were perfect, and the food matched with what you want with cocktails in hand. We all had a great time. One drink was ordered that wasn't to the person's liking, but the waitress and bartender were so accommodating with a no-cost replacement and recommendations that we never missed a beat worrying about it. We saw the outdoor area in the back, but we were seated inside (it looked nice, but I wonder what it's really like in August out there). We were there ~3 hrs, which is super easy to do. You'll drink them easily so, with food, your bill may surprise you. Just keep in mind that you're getting quality drinks and service and not 2-for-1 Bud Lights and quarter wings at one of the other nearby establishments and you'll be fine. Parking is limited on the street nearby, but there is a parking garage within walking distance. Locals will be able to figure out where else to park, but I'm not sharing my personal tips & tricks and losing my secret parking spot! read more

All of the bartenders worked together & seemed to enjoy being there. They were friendly & welcoming. I went for a NYE masquerade party & it was my first visit. They gave recommendations on drinks & food. I enjoyed the food, it was delicious & fresh. The cocktails were unique & tasty. They were pretty busy & everything was timely. The music was fun & the bathroom was clean. The bar area had plenty of seating. I'd definitely patron here again. read more

Service was great. Drinks were good (average) and atmosphere was fun. Had a live jazz band when I was there.

Went here with some girl friends for apps while on vacation. The building its self is super cute - kind of a feminine speakeasy vibe. They have a smaller apps and dinner menu with an extensive cocktail menu. I had a Paloma which was good, a bit on the sour side. For apps we ordered 2 bruschetta plates and a mushroom truffle flatbread. Service was great until after we ordered our food. We sat with empty drinks wanting to order more and waited over 30 minutes for our apps. The table next to us sat down, ordered, and ate within the time of us waiting for our food. We finally got our food - the bruschetta was flavor less and the bread was stale. The flatbread was actually quite delicious- I would eat it again. After not seeing our waitress for almost an hour we stopped a different waiter and explained our server never came back and wanted our tabs; my friends were pretty unhappy. We received our tabs from a manager who apologized for the server... great but not a single sever check on us in almost an hour even when they saw us with empty drinks looking around for service. I'd try it again but we are only visiting and don't find it worth it to go there again while we are here read more

The Alibi Cocktails & Bites, 231 Minutemen Causeway, Cocoa Beach, Florida -4-Stars In the past I have been harsh on Cocoa Beach's dining establishments, and for good reason. However, I am determined to seek out the hidden gems among the countless fly-by-night tourist traps. Why? Because that's the kind of guy I am. Also, I like to eat, drink, and be merry and get my thrills from discovering delightfully delivered delicacies. So, implored by some of my dear readers to give another outlet on Florida's #10 Party Beach a try, I ended up at The Alibi Cocktails & Bites, and I'm glad I did. Space Coast history buffs will love that the original Alibi Bar was the first business to be given a business license in Cocoa Beach when it opened at this location in the 1950s. In those days, it was reportedly a hot spot for astronauts, local celebrities, and barbermongers. Today, the Alibi is a quaint locale for kicking off a date night or hobnobbing with the "in crowd." Or you could venture in alone and imagine Major Nelson and Jeannie sipping Whiskey Sours at a cozy booth in the corner. The bar of the Alibi is stunning, with indigo and red up lighting adding a chic mystique. I LOVE the ambiance of this bar. Truly cool with tons of craft cocktails. Unfortunately, I am fighting to stay sober, otherwise I would be all over the Sazerac. If I could drink heavily, I would gladly come here on the reg. But as I approach 57, I need to either give up the booze or go easy on the food; and well, the Big Boy ain't quittin' food. Of the seven deadly sins, my favorite is gluttony. Luckily, this place is called, "The Alibi Cocktails & BITES," and I'm ready to sample some savories. Joe the barkeep is a friendly guy. He looks like he was headed to another gig and got roped into tending bar. But I'm impressed that he is prompt despite a full bar and a wall separating us. From the Small Plates, I choose the Ahi Tuna Stack, a layered delight of ginger-garlic Ahi tuna, avocado, wasabi vinaigrette cucumbers, sesame-siracha aioli, sesame seeds, micro cilantro, and crunchy chow mein noodles. To the great presentation, freshness, and pleasing taste, I say, "Bravo." Of the Flatbreads, I go with the Pork Belly, containing pork belly, Gorgonzola cheese, pears, pecans, pickled red onions, balsamic drizzle, and rosemary-infused olive oil. Let's be honest, flatbread anything is a corner-cutting dish, but if I sat at this gorgeous bar guzzling potent potables all day this tangy amiable dish would hit the spot for round five of day drinking. The Big Boy says, "If you are going out on the town in Cocoa Beach, stop in for drinks and a bite at the Alibi. Maybe you'll rub elbows with an astronaut." read more
