Such a cute rooftop spot in Tempe! Alibi at Canopy was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a Saturday pool day. The pool was the perfect temperature, the cabanas were clean, and the misters were on which made the Arizona heat way more manageable. There's also an indoor bar and food if you want to escape the sun for a bit. My bartender made me a Foax Real mocktail, which I thought was such funny wordplay, and it was actually really yummy too! Valet was super easy and everything from arrival to the pool area felt well kept and organized. Cute rooftop, good drinks, good vibes, and a really nice little escape in Tempe. Definitely coming back! read more

Brit and Kate the bar were sweethearts. Brit was the friendliest spirit when I arrived. I enjoyed a grapefruit juice and bar nuts to munch on. Great rooftop area for groups and mingling, it was a little warm inside but otherwise wonderful and the menu looked good. read more

Pros:Food here was decent. We would recommend the burgers but would skip out on the loaded nachos. Cons: Service was not great here, once we sat we had to wait for 20min even to receive the menu, then the wait staff came out and brought us the wrong food. Wouldn't come again. read more

I like changing up my spots so after a special Friday night dining/art experience at the Canopy Hotel restaurant, we decided to head up to the rooftop for another round of cocktails. The atmosphere and view are great (saving grace), unfortunately, it was a challenge to figure out how to get cocktails. A few other groups around us were going to the bar to get drinks while a server was tending. We waited a bit and eventually, I just went to the bar, got us 2 standard cocktails made to order, and headed back to our bar table. It was near the holidays but expected a bit more cheer... Will return again, but hope the service can match the ambiance. read more

There was a house party event here on a Saturday night, so my boyfriend and I figured let's check it out, nothing else going on in July! We got there 9:15, started at 9. Only four other people there, as expected lol no one comes on time. Alibi itself, or at least what was blocked off to us, was quite small. Full service bar with three booths, standing room around the bar then a little outside space where the DJ was set up. Pretty view overlooking the area, there were a small set of red lights for ambiance but could've used more lights, it was in one small area ahead. Standing tables pushed to the side, nice to have. The misters were going crazy! And there was air conditioning outside too or something? I was actually cold!! I had a sparkling kombucha $8 and my boyfriend a tall boy church music $14 but tax seemed to be $6 somehow?? And the bill was $28. The bathrooms were outside by the pool, clean enough! Overall, pretty nice spot. I wasn't blown away but we love a roof top. The canopy hotel itself - where the rooftop is - looks very nice inside. The DJ set was fun, if anything wanted more hype vibes. The pre show tickets of $18 each were sold out and my boyfriend ended up paying over $55 for two tickets, which wasn't worth it - the pre show would've been more justified read more

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! read more

Excellent rooftop bar and restaurant. Excellent cocktails. Great views and good service. Very comfortable atmosphere.

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. read more

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. read more

Visited on Saturday 11/2 and sat at the bar. The bar tender never acknowledged my friend and I, even after making eye contact. I finally said hello, and still she offered no menus, drinks, not even a single "I'll be with you in a few" I kept my eye on her for quite a while and she was super slow to make every single drink order, not efficient in any way, as one should be behind a bar on a Saturday night. I watched her start several drink orders (including mine) and she was adding an ingredient then putting it away then getting the next ingredient and putting it away. It was like watching someone who's never made a drink in their life. Eventually, another server was able to take a food order and get us a check when the time came, so I'm not sure if the name "Elliegh" on the receipt was from the lackluster and lame original bartender (blond) or the more friendly and personable staff member who helped us wrapped up. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and the components (chips, guac, pico) were good, the shrimp was flavorless. Wouldn't order again. My friend ordered the turkey club and that looked good. Still, this won't be a place I visit again. I will add, it sounded like they were understaffed, but that doesn't account for not even being acknowledged or not knowing how to make a drink. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Why are you guys afraid of seasoning? Like everyone says the nice and atmosphere is extremely nice, especially for Arizona/Phoenix metro area. But the restaurant/food needs to make sense. For starters there is no mention of different brunch/dinner menus anywhere on the website nor is there a mention of the restaurant closing for a hour between 3 and 4pm??? Smh I've been here 2 times to eat and each time the food has lacked any modicum of seasoning. I ordered a burger once and it was tasteless. On a recent trip to this place I ordered chicken and waffles which came with a side of maple syrup, and some nasty buffalo sauce smeared all over the flavorless fried chicken. I had to ask for a side of butter for flavor on the waffles. They threw in some watermelon slices but it was swimming in the buffalo sauce as well smh. I then decided to order their honey sriracha chicken sandwich and once again the unseasoned chicken is saved by the sauce/toppings. Does the chef know that garlic, onion powder or even adobo exists? It's ok for the meats to have flavor! My goodness. read more

Gorgeous bar for a hotel. I love it. Rooftop views. Experienced this bar for the first time December 2020, I think my first pics show the decor for Christmas time very cute. We were staying at the Canopy by Hilton at that time. Fast forward to 1.5 years later, I still think about the canopy and the awesome bar so suggested we go back there. I'm glad we did. It's just as cute as I remembered. We went for an afternoon drink and some views. It wasn't busy so I'm guessing on a kicking Friday or Saturday they may have misters on outside. They also have heaters for the rare cooler months. Gina made us delicious drinks, a cocktail called raspberry crush and it was really light and refreshing, I really liked it. Had fresh muddled raspberries. She made hubby a mocktail of her own creation something with Red Bull in it lol, he ordered two. Really great bar most likely college students come here I suppose since it's right next to ASU. But maybe hotel guests as well. Beautiful views. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a rooftop bar with a cool vibe. read more

Got here around 1300. PJ is the bartender. For about 30 minutes he was the only employee we saw. Acknowledged us upon entering. Told us we could sit anywhere. It's a large area for 1 person to work alone. Patio on either side of the bar/dining area. At this time of day, 1 of the patios is completely in the shade and the other is completely in the sun. I chose the sun. The shade is cold when it's windy. They have umbrellas to shade with. And PJ was kind enough to roll it around until we maximized shade. They don't start serving food in the bar until 1500. But they will let you order from downstairs. They have to get on the elevator and go down to the 1st floor to get your order. Please be considerate enough to at least recognize the effort they are making. Everything was great. It's nice to be able to have some clean/lean options while eating out. The dressing was good, but unnecessary. I'm glad I asked for it on the side. Hubs also asked for dressing on the side and when PJ delivered it, he acknowledged that it wasn't done that way and that he had already requested they redo it, but wanted him to have something to nibble at since my food was ready. Gos love him. The dressing wasn't that thick and was good. So we kept it. But PJ is a great employee. read more

Love the vibes and the bites to eat here! Perfect for an after-work happy hour! I came here on a Friday night for dinner and drinks with a friend. The menu features several specialty cocktails and an Asian fusion, Hawaiian food-inspired menu. Drinks (5/5): We sat at the bar and started off with drinks. My friend had the Tamarind Mule, which she LOVED and ended up ordering a second round of it! I ordered the Electric Strawberry, which I loved and would've ordered a second round had I not been driving later haha. Both drinks were delicious and had enough alcohol to feel the buzz! Steamed pork buns (5/5): These were yummy! Anything with baos and char siu pork gets me hyped. I loved the bit of crunch and acidity that you get from the pickled red onions. Poki sampler (3/5): The dressing the had on this bowl tasted great! I think the fish could've been a bit fresher (you can tell it wasn't at its prime), and the rice could have been seasoned just a little with rice vinegar. The dressing on the poke soaked into the rice, though, which offered some nice umami and tartness when you combine it all together in one bite. The addition of avocado to the bowl was also a great touch! It was the perfect level of ripeness and added a welcome bit of creaminess to each bite. Filipino-style empanadas (4/5): By no means was this authentic OR the typical Filipino empanada (which I expected), but it sure was tasty. The pork was savory and moist, and perhaps could have used more soy sauce or vinegar to up the adobo flavor. The ginger plum sauce the empanadas cake with also tasted great. Service (4.5/5): We sat at the bar and there were other patrons present, so we did have to flag down a bartender a few times to get our orders taken/get other things like napkins and water. The bartender that served us was super friendly and hospitable, and struck up great conversation with us!! As an Asian person, I'm always pretty skeptical when seeing Asian fusion food; but given my skepticism, Alibi did pretty decently and offered lots of great bites to eat. I'd definitely come back to eat and drink here with friends after a long day of work! read more

Got a day pass through Resort Pass and I gotta say the Rooftop Bar/Pool was cool! Shout out to Jacob for the excellent service today. Ordered from Alter Ego which is the restaurant in their lobby and it was delicious. I got the Ego Burger with the side of fries. Spiked aioli gave it a great flavor. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for a burger during your visit. For drinks, I had El Jefe and Como La Flor which I recommend as well. El Jefe had a great flavor with the "spicy" they add to it. Vibes were chill/laid back. The outside pool was great. Especially because we were the only couple in the pool area for most of the day! read more

If you're looking for a club scene with a DJ and a place to bump and grind at 1pm for a Sunday Brunch, this is your spot!!! The Canopy by Hilton has a great ambiance. Walking into the lobby is serene with a cool vibe at Alter Ego, the sister restaurant. Make your way up to the top floor 14 for the Alibi Rooftop Lounge and as soon as the elevator doors open, the music will be in your face. We sat on the edge of the rooftop glass ledge but the music was still so loud we could barely hear each other. There was a girls birthday party with two long tables and apparently we had missed the memo. They were done eating and probably many mimosa pitchers in and living it up. Dollar bills were floating through the bar floor and it was all we could do to not stare. If we had started our drinks at 11am, maybe we would've been ready for this but we hadn't even had our coffee yet and moved downstairs to Alter Ego where we originally were looking. Not sure why they didn't have any Open Table availability because they were wide open. read more

We had such a great time celebrating our anniversary here. The rooftop offers great drinks and views. We had a couple of drinks that were reasonably price and delicious.

Nice shaded area on the rooftop for a romantic sunset dinner! We were greeted immediately upon entering and were given menus. Unfortunately we just missed happy hour by 5 mins and their online system won't let you get the happy hour prices as soon as it passes 6pm. Food 4/5 Empanadas were our favorite followed by the tacos We got a kale salad with beef as well- pretty good! The pool and the tables that have shade are on opposite sides. I thought it would all be in one area so that was a bummer. You have to choose between sitting in the sun and having a pool view versus sitting in the shade and not seeing the pool read more

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.

Visited this rooftop bar on ASU family weekend. There is no table service, you do have to order everything from the bar. The food is really expensive and really small. My party ordered the Street Tacos both chicken and Brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were extremely salty. They were both so tiny! They were out of rice for the poke bowls which was disappointing. Other people in our party had the burger which had a really weird sauce on it. The fries were delicious though. The employees were very friendly but ended up leaving starving still and with an unpleasant experience. read more

Nice and simple rooftop bar in Tempe. Good for a small group of friends or a date. Not much of a food selection that I felt looked good on the menu, so I wouldn't recommend this place for food. Maybe just appetizers. The drinks were average. Prices are fair for the area. It wasn't that crowded on a Saturday night, which I liked. And they have great outdoor heating lamps that get you nice and toasty on a chilly night. It's the first time I noticed a bar having excellent heating lamps. read more

The drinks and food here are great. I ordered a tamarind mule, the empanadas, poki, and pork buns. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely be ordering the pork buns again. The poki is surprisingly filling and could feed 2-3 people if you order another small dish. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check out the rooftop because of monsoon season, but it looked awesome before the rain kicked in. Once it's cooler, this will be the perfect place to drink cocktails with friends after work. Staff were incredibly responsive when my friend and I were alone. However, staff were less hospitable once my masc girlfriend showed up. Staff made my girlfriend wait a long time before taking her drink order and they entirely stopped being friendly to us. Overall, good food, good ambiance, but this particular experience wasn't LGBTQ-friendly. read more

I live in downtown Tempe and was excited to hear about a rooftop bar called Alibi at the new Canopy by Hilton hotel on University and Myrtle. I went Friday night 7/24 and was pleasantly surprised. There is a cool indoor bar with all windows and great views for miles. They also have a covered outside seating area with misters and the same views! There is a pool area attached for guests in the same 14th floor area. I was there for happy hour with discounted drinks and food. The steamed pork buns with an Asian flair were tasty and priced nicely. I love a bar with a view and 14 floors up is pretty cool. A monsoon storm was blowing through so that was nice to watch.
