This place blew me out of the water. I don't think I've ever gone to a bar that was mysterious yet so fun to get into. Jumping through a freezer to get to the bar? Never done that before. Not to mention the inside was SO COOL. My party ended up getting a variety of drinks and desserts, all of which were amazing. The staff was hilarious and it was just overall a great experience. read more

Listen. Looking for stunning mixology in Gatlinburg? This is your spot. Stop. Seriously. Look no further. After a quick Yelp search for cocktails brought up a speakeasy, we knew we had to come here. Who doesn't love a little entrance intrigue and password hijinks when in search of a cocktail? We strolled up to a cute little coffee spot where a gentleman met us, warned us they smoke cocktails inside (just in case you're not ok with that) and then led us through a freezer (not actually a freezer but a secret door) that brought us back to a chic little cocktail bar in the back. The cocktails? Amazing. Truly stunning. The service? Pitch perfect. The atmosphere? Chic while still being comfortable. Know you might have to stand a short while. The spot is small, they have 3-4 standing tables where they have you stand until there's an available table. We probably stood a total of 4-5 minutes on a Saturday night in April. I wish I lived closer. This would absolutely be a regular stop. Get to it. read more

Okay but let me tell y'all... Alibi in Gatlinburg is an EXPERIENCE. From the moment you walk in (and yes, the hidden entrance makes it even better), the whole vibe shifts. It's moody, classy, and gives that true speakeasy feel without being pretentious. You instantly feel like you found somewhere special. The cocktails? 10/10. Not just thrown together -- crafted. Every drink we had was balanced, smooth, and honestly impressive. You can tell the bartenders know their stuff and actually care about what they're serving. They were friendly, engaging, and made the night even better. We grabbed some small bites to go with our drinks and everything paired perfectly. It's the kind of place where you plan to stay for one round... and end up staying much longer. If you're in Gatlinburg and want something beyond the typical tourist stop, Alibi is it. It's intimate, elevated, and absolutely worth it. We'll definitely be back. read more

If you're trying to decide whether to come here, DO IT! This spot far exceeded my expectations. All the employees are nice, tentative, and give great recommendations. There may be a small wait but it is worth it. The owners created such a beautiful space that is 1920s themed, it definitely makes you feel like you're in a different era! The cocktails are fabulous and so was the charcuterie. This immersive experience will leave you wanting more! read more

Everyone was so nice and helpful with the menu. We loved the atmosphere and the drink selection was amazing!

Great speakeasy, delicious drinks and a good quiet spot with casual music. Went upon arrival and had to go back before we left read more

Cozy little speak tucked behind the Syndicate Coffee shop. The coffee shop it self is pretty impressive and looking to grab an espresso next visit. Nailed the speakeasy vibes with the secret refrigerator entrance which transports you back to the prohibition style vibes. Awesome curated crafted cocktail selection with great descriptions of what you'll be getting. For the spirit lovers the selection is too notch and decently priced. Whiskey lovers will enjoy their extensive and impressive selections. Great spot for a little night cap and change of pace when on the Gatlinburg strip. read more

This place is a great addition to downtown Gatlinburg. I love the speakeasy theme and ambiance was perfect. The staff were really friendly as well. The drinks were pricy, but expected given the type of venue and location. I usually am not a fan of overdone/fancy drinks, but I found one that sounded good and it wasn't bad! They had some creative presentations for the drinks which the whole group enjoyed! Again, I really enjoyed the ambiance and new experience more than anything and would recommend trying this place out! read more

I've been visiting Gatlinburg quite often for many years and this is really a unique place with a good vibe. read more

We've been to Alibi in Gatlinburg three times now, and it has been excellent every single visit. Hannah was our bartender, and while the drinks on the menu were fantastic, the off menu cocktails she made for us were some of the best we've ever had anywhere. You can tell she really knows her craft. If there's a line, don't let it scare you off. It's absolutely worth the wait. read more

Good atmosphere, amazing drinks. I went alone and sat at the bar, and I kinda felt ignored for at least 5 minutes. I know they were busy, but a simple "I'll be with you in just a minute" as all I needed. read more

Very cool place! Drinks are a little expensive but the experience is well worth it! Our server (I believe his name was Jerry) knew the menu like the back of his hand and talked with you to determine which drinks you would like, and he was right every time! We will definitely be back when are in the area read more

Love the concept. Wife had no idea of the secret door. Drinks are amazing. First rate service... very classy. Shush now!

This place is "the bees knees" no doubt about it! So fun and outstanding cocktails! The ambiance is transformative...feels like the 20's (I would assume) read more

Visited Saturday after Thanksgiving. Heard about it about two months prior and we had high hopes....... And we were not disappointed!! Top rate service from the time we entered until we left. Hannah made my first experience with Old Fashionds one that I won't forget. She was so patient and kind taking the time to help me figure out what I would like. Every drink I had was phenomenal! We Can't wait to get down that way again so we can stop in! read more
