The Alibi, also known as Alibi Restaurant and Lounge and Alibi Tiki Lounge, is a restaurant and tiki bar located in Portland, Oregon's Overlook neighborhood, in the United States.

Description

One Fodor's guide described Alibi as an "aggressively kitschy" and "divey" tropical-themed bar" with "unexceptional" food.

History

The restaurant was established in 1947.

Chuck Palahniuk said Alibi was Portland's only tiki bar in his book Fugitives and Refugees (2003).

The business underwent on ownership change in late 2016.

The bar is referenced in punk band Joyce Manor's 2016 single "Last You Heard of Me".
