Great dive bar. Ended up going several times over the few days were in town. Food was good. Drinks were strong enough. Bartenders were fun and nice to talk to. read more

The fact that this place isn't five stars is an affront to all things good and holy. I love nothing more than a good dive bar. This isn't a good dive bar though, this is the dive bar that all other dive bars should be modeled after. While most bartenders would have found 8 guys on a bachelor party extremely annoying our bartender, Sabrina, was all for our shenanigans. Sabrina was definitely the key to our bachelor party success. She gave us lots of tips and helped us avoid a lot of the touristy crap we were trying to skip. As a result we started each day at the Alibi and I strongly suggest you do the same. read more

Used to be the go to place at the end of a night. Not the place anymore! Rude servers-not attentive-forgot to order our food and they weren't busy! Over it! Willie's chicken instead! read more

Ate here on Saturday night before coming home....great place. The food was hot and fresh. The service was awesome as well. I will return. The shrimp Po-Boy was delish..... read more

While I didn't get a drink while I was there I will be back for a Bloody Mary today. My husband and I are staying in a hotel just a few blocks away and wanted some quick food. We both got turkey burgers and their "always crispy" fries and they did not disappoint. Food was delicious, staff was friendly. If you like dive bars this is the place to go. read more

I went to this place my first night ever in New Orleans and met the owner and had the best fried chicken sandwich of my life. He was an awesome dude and recommended this place to every person we met from the area. We left for a cruise and then on the way back we nearly missed our flight in order to make it back for this fried chicken sandwich. Right off the bat the bar tender was very rude, either way I was polite I work in the service industry I know how days can go. Then we got the wrong food and when I explained that we wanted the fried chicken not the grilled she popped off and told me how wrong I was and went off personally insulting us about we don't know and it's was all our fault and that we were annoying her. She then said once we get our food that we have to leave because we were pissing her off. I've never been treated like that. Even other patrons said they had "changed their mind about this establishment" The cook was nice about everything when he gave us our food. And the food was awesome! When I come back to New Orleans I will absolutely come back to this place but if she is working I will not give any business during that time. It's unfortunate that such an amazing place can be tainted by a single worker. read more

Have continued to restor my faith in humanity. Thank you meaghan for finding my iPad and keeping it safe until my brain defrosted and could remember where I left it. Great spot. read more

Visiting this spot while on a month long business trip. The reviews were good and I saw no reviews of a bug problem so I went. Ordered two beers the bartender was extremely nice and good at her job. Ordered food and say back at my table and watched a mouse run across the floor for 30 min. No one seems to flinch.. Hygiene in a restaurant is extremely important to me. I've worked in the industry for 11.5 years and have never seen this read more

Let me start by saying, I love the Alibi. For the years I have been visiting NO, I always make it a point to stop in and have one of their ahhhhmazing bloodies when I'm ready to wind down for the night. The bartenders are always nice, and very accommodating. However, On Last Friday I witnessed 2 men being assaulted by a bouncer at the Alibi. The 2 men were asked to leave the bar, and after doing so without question, the bouncer proceeded to follow them around the block and sucker punch both men without warning, then run away, only to lie to the police when the men assaulted called in the report. The men were then arrested, which was inconceivable to me. They were not causing a problem and the bouncer decided to take the law into his own hands, then run away and lie to the police to save his skin. The bouncer works the late shift at the Alibi (midnight-early morning), he is African American, about 6'3 and was wearing a black shirt and hat when I saw the assault take place. The man also made me feel uncomfortable at the bar on multiple occasions, the first occurring days before the assault I witnessed. He was scowling and shaking his head at my friends and I, making rude comments and murmuring under his breath at us every chance he got. He seems disturbed and was not acting in an appropriate manner that someone should be, considering he works at a bar on Bourbon Street. He even had the nerve to complain about the drunks in "his bar" and repeatedly stated to the entire crowd that they needed to "get the fuck out of here and go the fuck home". This was days after the witnessed assault! This man has serious problems and should not be responsible for handling the door at such a well trafficked bar. I am filing a report and testifying on the behalf of the men arrested. Incidents like this should not be tolerated and I will be persistant in having this man charged with his crimes and fired from your bar. Better luck in finding more compassionate and suitable employees, I love the Alibi but am truly disturbed by what I witnessed, I would not put it past this man to punch an innocent woman! read more

We stopped into this dive bar for a few beers and to rest our feet from wandering the Quarter during FQF. The place is mostly lit from the natural light outside during the day and with the doorways open, there's plenty of breeze coming in (when there is some). Our bartender, Ashley, was very friendly, entertaining and provided us with quick service. Nice girl! Definitely a great place to get away from the masses and enjoy some adult bevs with friends. read more

Favorite spot in the Quarter. Bartenders are all super friendly, know a good pour and make a dive bar seem like 5*s. Stop in if you're down there. read more

Whenever we are in NOLA we visit Alibi because we always feel welcome. This trip we got to hang out with Tiffany, Ashley and Sam. I hope the place never leaves NOLA! Great food, great company! read more

Great food, great selection of beer, and great service. Friendly staff who learned our names and made us feel at home. Gave us free jello-shots for my girlfriend's birthday! read more

It's a dive bar that serves food, which is neither terrific nor terrible. The burger is pretty good someimes, but when it isn't....

This is the greatest dive bar ever. I come here a few times a year and enjoy it ever time.

We use to go here every time we visited New Orleans but the place has changed over the years and I have to say it is coming off our list of "must go" places. As other reviewers have said, its dirty and dingy and I couldn't use the bathroom unless you really had to go. The appeal to us was that it seems the locals go there and they have some decent drink specials. Plus, an awesome grilled tuna steak sandwich and fries that rocked!! Even though it remains on their menu, they NEVER have it. They always substitute mahi mahi, which is not the same at all. After ordering it, it took FOREVER for them to make and it was served RAW in the middle. I'm pretty sure we would have gotten sick if we ate it. I'm also pretty sure it must have been frozen moments before they cooked it which would explain the cold, raw middle. $13 for it, I mean really?? There are so many other great choices to go for cheap, cold drinks, good food, and personable bartenders. Sadly, it's no longer the Alibi. Did I mention the bartenders look skanky and appear to have a severe autoimmune disorder? Drink and eat here at your own risk...you've been warned people. read more

Enjoyed a quick late dinner while in NOLA and very satisfied with our choice. Po' boys and fries, drinks and world-famous Jell-O shots were great! If you want to enjoy a cozy get away from Bourbon....give Alibi's a try. read more
