Gosh, what queens
Okay, fellow reviewers... stop for a moment. First of all, please know the local laws before you start complaining about the smoking/no smoking policy of Lauderdale bars. It is your responsibility to read up on this before you go out. Yes, you can smoke outside, and not inside. But - don't go to the Alibi for the food... I'll give you that bit of advice. Do go for the atmosphere, and for the people. Lauderdale is indeed a tightly knit community, but I've been visiting for a long while, and realize all you have to do is be friendly and say hi. Yes, you might have a few jerks ignore you, but you'll find that anywhere. If all else fails, go to the booth and talk with Barry the VJ - he's a GREAT guy. Tip him, ask him to play some Patsty Cline, and you'll be a VIP in no time! Cheer up fellas - it's a bar. Play the game, and enjoy Lauderdale. I certainly do.
Hey
I go there a few times a year even though I live close by. I have no complaints. Good food and service. I would recommend it.
provincial, cliquish, mean, rude, snobbish
It was like a private club. Everyone knows and hates each other. Jealosy was rampant. The few nice guys there surrounded themselves with miserable friends. They live under a microscope. Its a place to gossip and be seen, but I'd rather not
Excellent food, good service, 2-for-1 Happy Hours
Had some really great food here. Suggest the Cuban. Excellent service when I went and you can't beat the 2-for-1 drink Happy Hours that run from 11am til 9 pm.
