    Sunset Mule
    Nicki M.

    Nice little rooftop bar in the middle of Tempe. Came here with a couple of my girl friends for a Friday evening. It was pretty mellow, with only a couple of other people there. The bartender took my drink order right away and the mule I ordered was good. Although we weren't staying at the hotel, it seems pretty nice and everything was clean and well kept. Didn't order food here this time but maybe next time!

    Outside view

    Went at sunset, the view was blocked by the fence to the pool and the other end was a private event. Other than that the view was pretty good. Wait time for drinks and food were very very long. Waited 20 minutes for drinks and over an hour for food. We got the nachos, they were good but there were only 12 chips, for the price... not worth it.

    Walking in, Alibi has a nice atmosphere. I love the roof top vibe. Came here for a work event and boy was it a mess. It seemed like they were not prepared to accommodate our group. The menu is very limited so it was concerning how long some items took to come out. We were in no means any rush but chips and a salsa should not take over an hour to get to the table. The food was a hit or miss. I really enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower. A fellow co-worker enjoyed the edamame but said they were messy and spicy. I personally had the seared ahi with some Asian noodles. I could not eat the pasta. It just didn't go well with the tuna for me. The noodles did not give Asian vibe. It was also cut on the thinner side. I really wish the sesame seeds I saw on the edamame was encrusted on the tuna.

    Came here on a double date and we got 3 different drinks, all of which were not good. The margarita I had was very watered down and didn't taste good. I couldn't finish it. The wait was also very long for our food, like 45 minutes. The food overall was not bad, The flat bread I got was over priced ($18) but didn't taste too bad and portion size was good. The chicken sandwich was a little dry for $15. The fries were also not good. They very much needed salt and they were broken in small pieces. But the only reason why the food is not bad is because it's from the kitchen down at Alter Ego. Honestly I wouldn't really come back again.

    What a great hidden secret!! My family and friend came here for my birthday celebration! Both bartenders prepared excellent cocktails, the food was amazing, and the views of the city and sunset were awesome! To top it off, the bartenders made me a special birthday shot! Must do!

    Funny story about how we ended up here. Met a pal for dinner and couldn't find it at first but then someone from the pool threw a rubber swan down from the roof top which fell into the vehicle. Looking up thru the panoramic roof we could see people staring down after tossing the rubber swan. It was then that we knew it had to be the spot we were searching for. Thank God it wasn't something heavy coming down instead of a swan. Adealina (sorry if I spell your name incorrectly) bartender Is AMAZING!!! Joe the DJ IS awesome but tonight was not the night to be there.... Country music is not my thing but up until Joe was forced to play it, it was a nice vibe! The company of Adelina and Joe made my visit here nice. Welcome Aboard Adealina from a Vegas. I love the view and the welcoming breeze from up here on the OPEN 14th floor. I didn't know that this was a hotel and assumed that it was apartments for some reason. I met some cool humans. I had the burger and fries which were spendy but expected these days but we were a little surprised that my burger had to no lettuce nor tomato on it and my friend couldn't get a salad because they were out of ingredients. That was horrible as we came to eat and to catchup. My friend ended up with just fries since she can only have gluten free products. Valet parking is available on site which I found out that the restaurant will validate for you... otherwise, $12.00 to park however, meter parking is only$1.50 per hour which was worth it if you're not into a Stanger driving your vehicle and waiting for it when you're ready to go. On the way in (or out) there's another restaurant downstairs which, has great customer service and the bartender Morgan was AMAZING, as well as, the Manager of the entire establishment, Dee Jay, who welcomed me with open arms! Anyway, go check it out for yourself. There's all age groups here since it's a hotel and not a college kids hang out. Respectfully! I'd return to sit and chat with Dee Jay, Adealina, DJ and Joe as they all gave it a memorable experience! Thanks guys

    Pretty good food for a hotel bar!! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Canopy, so we were excited to hear that they had rooftop dining. You get a nice view of ASU, the pool, and AZ sunsets. We came for dinner and they were able to directly charge my room. Super convenient. What we ordered: + Fries: So good! Great quality potato, selicious aioli dip, and the portion was good enough for two of us to share. + Short Rib Sliders: Surprisingly really tender! Marinated well and the bread was soft & sweet. Pretty tasty. + Poke Bowl: Comes with salmon and tuna sashimi. The marinade is very subtle, and the fish quality is pretty good. Lots of veggies! The only downside is the rice was hard and undercooked.

    Alibi Rooftop Lounge is downtown Tempe's ultimate elevated hideaway! Perched atop the Canopy by Hilton, the rooftop oasis blends a vibrant yet relaxed vibe with exceptional city views. The space features chic cabanas, a pool, fire pits, and retractable glass walls that keep things comfortable year-round. Their craft cocktails and shareable bites pair perfectly with the view, whether you're catching a sunset, hanging with friends, or dancing to the DJ on Friday nights. Attentive staff, good energy, and thoughtful touches like heated outdoor areas make this place a standout scene that feels both lively and welcoming.

    Such a cute rooftop bar! I loved that it was decorated festively for the holiday season. Did not try and food but their seasonal drink menu was good. A great spot for a quick drink for date night or with a friend.

    La Lascivia cocktail

    Love!!!! This is a great hang for drinks, ambiance, and food. The views are lovely day or night. You can't beat a mountain vista. Decor is modern and trendy. Pumping great tunes. I had a La Lascivia to warm up, and some street tacos. Tasty! And didn't leave me feeling so full- great portion sizes. Love the roasted pepitas. Kind attentive service. Whether you stay at the hotel or come for after work relaxation A this is a must do!

    Met up with a friend here on a Saturday evening. It wasn't as busy as I expected but I have a feeling this place draws a later crowd as it's more of a bar rather than restaurant. We came for dinner at sunset. The views are gorgeous. Definitely a great spot for a drink at sunset. The food menu is quite limited and I was disappointed because I have dietary restrictions and could only eat the salad from the menu which they were out of. I still enjoyed being outdoors and the ambiance (as well as my company of course). Our bartender Andranique was new but she is amazing! Great personality and super attentive and helpful! There's also a pool and dance floor up here with a live DJ so I can imagine it gets a little wild. We didn't stay much past 7:30 so it was still a calm and chill vibe.

    Came downtown for dinner but decided to check out the roof top bar. Came during happy hour and tried the fish ceviche with chips-7/10. Plenty of fish however felt like it was missing something else. Couldn't figure it out but they were very generous with the fish. I forgot the name of our drink but it was a pretty strong one. Staff was great. Tables were clean. There is a swimming pool near the bar and people were leaving their orders. Nice view of downtown.

    Cool vibe. Pretty empty for a Friday night but the view was a vibe. Pit stop for a drink before going out and the drink definitely did what it should have.

    Great views of Tempe and a nice place to hang out for the sunset. Only drawback is that the beverages are overpriced. Worth a visit.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

We received water, but after waiting 40 minutes, no one ever came to our table to take an order or even check on us. My husband, who owns a bar himself, commented, "If I were the owner, I'd be upset watching revenue walk right out the door." As we got up to leave, he mentioned to a waitress that no one seemed to be paying attention to our section. We also noticed two other women trying to flag down a server without success. On our way out, we informed security about the lack of service. He apologized and said he would address it, but after waiting that long, we were ready to leave. The entertainment and atmosphere were definitely a plus, but the service was so poor that it overshadowed the entire experience. Hopefully management addresses the staffing and attentiveness issues because the lounge has potential.

Honestly, I have no idea how it got those reviews. Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.

Located inside the Canopy Hotel in Scottsdale, I didn't have trouble finding free parking right outside of the hotel (I wonder if the same holds true on a Friday or Saturday night). After parking, take the elevator all the way up to get to the rooftop. Ambiance (4/5): Pretty awesome. I love a good rooftop. Outrider has a good deal of comfortable seating which is always a plus in my book. It's an open air bar, so there's also some seating by the bar which is semi-covered. There's even a firepit of sorts, but only one. Would be cool if they had more. The best part though? The view from the rooftop. You can see the mountains in the background and old town Scottsdale. I imagine that the absolute best time to stop by is during a sunset. Service (4/5): Our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive throughout. She did a great job making us feel like we were right at home. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so I can't comment on their food. Drinks (4/5): Outrider has a nice selection of craft cocktails. While I was intrigued, I stuck to beer. Not a huge selection by any means, but there are a decent number of craft brews, including a handful I had never tried. The beers are fairly priced. If you're looking for a nice rooftop, Outrider is a great choice.
