The Alibi

By Martin Cizmar

At midnight, this sodden tiki lounge is the sort of place where people pushing 30 consider making one last youthful mistake after karaoke but end up taking an Uber through the Popeye's drive-thru and passing out on their own couch. But like the Old Vegas bars it most closely resembles, the best time to visit is midday, when the world outside is bright and the house's syrupy-sweet renditions of tiki classics like the zombie and mai tai feel more like candy and less like an impending headache. Crawl into a cushy booth and let yourself be transported. When karaoke starts, it's time to bounce.
