Alibi Inn

I hate this place. Been there three times, each time I thought the service would be better. The services straight sux. The bartender was very disengaged and looked high to me the last time I went there. I was served crown in a water glass!!! If I could put no stars I would.

Lunch with friends. Had the prime rib sandwich with onion rings.delious. Others in the group liked the crispy chicken salad and the fried oysters. Voted to come back next month since the food was so good.

I still think the food is good and the environment is clean and quiet for lunch in West Salem, but the service has deteriorated. If you have the time for your server to ignore you or make excuses, stop on in. The attraction for a lunch pub and grub is quick, friendly service and tasty food reasonably priced. Without quick, friendly service I can’t recommend or spend the time to come in and support a local business.

The WORST nachos I’ve ever had. Fake cheese, cold chicken & bad salsa. Nice place to watch a football game, but stick with drinks & avoid the food.

We have been here several times hoping for a better experience, but the service is awful. Which is sad because the food is so good. All servers seem pissed off and are super slow. it took 20min just to get a person even though they were not busy. 4 bartenders and they all seemed unhappy to be there. It’s really unfortunate, and we will not go back.

I’ve gone in a couple times simply because its close to me in West Salem and they have big HD TVs to get my sports fix. When I’ve ordered food, its been mediocre. The bartenders aren’t all that friendly. Every time I go there’s a group of loud regulars that put off drunky obnoxious vibes. There’s an ongoing discourse full of obscenities between the bartenders and regulars that gets annoying when trying to watch the game. Good booze selection but have a hard time wanting to stay and drink in this kind of place. If you’re in west Salem, this is the best sports bar option if you don’t feel like driving across the bridge to Magoo’s.

Went there last night with a group of friends.
What decent sized bar has only three people (that I could tell) working on a Friday night? There were probably 100+ people there and it appeared no one was getting served in any semblance of a timely manner.
Our service was just bad, not only did it take 20 minutes to even order, but another 45 minutes to get food and it came out backwards, The people who ordered first got there stuff 10 minutes AFTER the last person to order got their food.
The food was decent, if basic, Nothing that should have taken that long to get.
It is a nice, clean bar, with a good atmosphere (the music was a tad loud to allow for conversations), I just wish the service matched.
I RARELY give less than 20% tip, but felt like I had no choice this time, The 10% I did give was probably too much… :(
Probably won’t go back unless I hear it gets better…

Alibi defiantly not a dive bar, its well light and open spaces. There are three pool tables and a golf game. A least 7 big screen TVs. They have a well-​stocked bar and full menu. The only concern is the services, or the lack of it. I only saw one guy behind the bar, he seem to be doing everything. Working the bar and tables. He couldn’t give you his full attention. If they had a few more people working it would have been better. Overall a great bar that I will be coming back too. They also have Oregon Lottery Games.

I really like this place. I have been a few times. Every time I have been there I have had good service. The food is good and they make pretty good drinks. It’s not a dive like a lot of the bars around Salem.

I know that the regulars are no reflection on the establishment as a whole, but when the management comes and is completely unprofessional, I can’t help but be disappointed. This would never be a place that I would recommend to others, not because of the drinks or food, but purely because of how poorly people can be treated here by the management. I can only see this place surviving because of its apparent monopoly in west Salem.

It doesn’t have the same flavor as the nearby The Fifty, and that’s exactly why I go here. Sometimes you need a break from The Fifty. Decent food, people generally leave me alone. Nice. :)

I’ve stopped in here a few times for drinks with various people. It’s a pretty standard neighborhood bar. They have a few pool tables, juke box, outdoor patio area, decent enough servers, reasonable drink prices. The crowd seems to be skewed toward the young end of things, I even wonder how closely they check IDs some nights, but for all that it’s not too rowdy/​trashy. It’s pretty new, a relocation of the «old» Alibi, so it’s not terribly grim and dirty yet, but otherwise is generally unspectacular.
