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. I think you will enjoy this unique addition to the downtown Tempe places to hang out. read more

See all

We've been here a few times and really like it! We come for taco Tuesday a bit which is fun. Good margaritas and I like the el jefe which is a prickly pear mezcal marg. The only thing I have to say that's not purely positive is that we notice inconsistencies. One time we ordered a steak taco and it was very carne asada taco vibe and the next time it had a Asian sweet and savory meat vibe going. It seemed like it was some meat they had leftover from another menu item or something. I wasn't complaining it was super good! And if for taco Tuesday you are just using what you have leftover I also totally get it! Maybe just have to make it known on the menu. There have been a few things we have ordered twice that have been different each time. Maybe the least of worries since it's a hotel? Just thought I would mention it since we are local clients. Definitely worth going though! read more

I went with a friend here last week for a couple of drinks. They were excellent. We also went on a Thursday so they had a fun trivia going on! Food was also really good, we ordered the shrimp and the margherita flatbread. They told us they also do events on the weekend such as Pool parties and glow parties! read more

This establishment is one of the more decent rooftops in the area (not the best since I've lived here for 6 years) great drinks, decent views. Talking about the customer service though... I will not be returning for that reason alone. Initially walking in sitting at the bar, David the bar tender was completely attentive with a positive and super energetic attitude. Bar tender Cody then approached aggressively and had a rather negative attitude seemingly judging me and my friend from afar. We were taking pictures for a local restaurant review while being starred at, pointed at, and laughed at. This experience made the environment go from welcoming and fun from Davids positive vibe to uncomfortable and unwelcoming from Cody and a female bartenders attitude. This behavior immediately prompted us to close out our tab and leave the establishment. 10/10 David read more

Such a great experience! Gina and Christian at the bar were so friendly and attentive. We had a small family get together on the patio and everyone loved it and the service was exceptional. Beautiful view and good vibes. The bar is open to the public so it was easy to locate. read more

Gina was amazing. She made the whole Galentines menu and her drinks were beautiful. She was so sweet and provided great service. Definitely coming back xx read more

Alibi - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We went to Alibi based on Yelp reviews and a relative dearth of interesting/upscale dining options in downtown Tempe. The food was good if a bit over priced. It's all tapas style, we had the empanadas, poke bowl, ceviche and octopus fritters. As stated, it was good, but not worth elaborating on. Cocktails were interesting and the service was satisfactory. What stood out to me was the ambiance. Alibi has the look and feel of a Disney Channel tween show version of a hip spring break hangout. LED light strips pulsate different colors while the sound system pumps out music from c-list artists. To be fair, Alibi is poolside bar/lounge, so maybe that explains it, but it was a Sunday night in February. read more

The atmosphere here is beautiful. It was chilly outside but the heat lamps made it much better. Good DJ but sad he left before they closed. Good music and good vibes go hand and hand. The drinks were expensive and weak. I ordered a Long Island but I felt felt the cup was the only thing long and the island was dry. Paying all that money for a drink tgat had no alcohol in it was craziness. I thought I was being smart to order a corona with a lime next. I was expecting a bottle with a lime in it, instead I got a corona as a draft. Say What. And the price of a shot was crazy high too. I feel like you're paying for the atmosphere. The food was meh .. sometimes fancy isn't all what it's cracked up to be. I might come back to look at the view and drink before I get there! LOL. Need a new roof top spot with decent drinks that's strong to match the price!! read more

I love this place so much, I come here all the time and recommend it to my friends as well. The hotel as a whole is a wonderful "staycation" place; I like the restaurant downstairs and the bar up on the rooftop, as they offer different vibes. Alibi Rooftop Lounge is a beautiful rooftop bar with friendly staff, great drinks, and stunning views. read more

Booked an overnight StayCation at Canopy Tempe. Looked at several hotels in the area before making my reservation. Deciding factor in selecting this Hilton Hotel were the reviews of the Alibi Rooftop Lounge. My wife and looked forward to celebrating our anniversary at the lounge watching the sunset and listening / dancing to music from 6-9. After our arrival we were very disappointed when we found out the lounge, pool, roof-top were closed for the entire day for a private party. Does not seem right to take this amenity away from 200+ guests staying at the hotel in order to increase revenue by renting out this public space for a private event. It would be wise for Hilton to step in and stop this practice. read more

Me and my boyfriend had an absolutely amazing time at Alibi! Gina and David were our bartenders and they welcomed us as soon as we came in, and they had the best energy. Gina made some amazing drinks for us, the Barbie Mojito was soo good, and she even freestyled a mix drink that had Crown Apple in it since that's my boyfriend's favorite, and it was very good. The ambiance and the vibe was amazing they had a great playlist going, and it was comfortable at the bar being around such friendly people. read more

In the hierarchy of bartenders... Gina is a Goddess. I asked for something "special" and she made this.... Fresh fruit, mixed with a lot of love!! Come see this Bar Goddess and her her for the same. Can't go wrong. Rooftop, Sexy, Fresh, Great Music and Vibe! read more

Alibi - Ask for Gina - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Decided to drop in for lunch around 12:30. I was only one in the place. After ordering my food and sitting there for 30 minutes I went looking for it. After another 5 minute wait it showed up . Japanese Chicken sandwich with fries. It was pretty good. Great view. Nice pool area. I imagine it will be busy come cooler weather with the ASU students returning. You can park in garage and get your ticket validated for free parking! read more

Met some friends here for trivia. As the name suggests it's on the rooftop of a hotel where the pool is. The bar is a decent size but the seating around it is limited. The food menu is extremely limited and everything we ate was good not great. We tried a few different things (flatbread, burger, edamame). The edamame wasn't good, i don't know what it was exactly but none of us liked it. The flatbread was good, nice crisp. The burger was decent, on the smaller side and was very basic. Definitely not worth the price. The drinks are on the pricey side. A vodka soda (house vodka) was $12.00. Service was great at times and non existent at other times. Overall there is nothing that would bring us back here. read more

Worst service ever. Inattentive staff. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks after I went to the bar to ask if they could wait on our table. read more

Love this place!! It's a fun place to have a drink and the view is incredible!! Club music keeps the vibe alive and the staff is really nice! read more

The drinks are overpriced and not good at all. The food was okay, not as great as expected. I'm sad to say I will not visit again

Alibi - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

First off, the bartender (was a girl with dark hair forgot her name) was a actual sweetheart and our drinks were wondwrful!! I only give this place 2 stars cause to be honest the food is so bad. Like terrible and so expensive. If you're hungry Just go downstairs to Tocaya and eat there don't waste your money at alibi. Again- our service was great and so were our drinks I just don't recommend for food!! read more

Okay. Gina is amazing. She is always super energetic and is always so attentive to her customers. Every time I go there I request her. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Went here for drinks with my friend who was in town for the weekend. I got the Despacito and it was very good, but almost no alcohol. The rooftop vibes were nice, and the view was great! My drawback was the bar was right next to the hotel pool, so that was a bit odd seeing guests walking past in their swimming suits. The second cocktail that I got was the Blue Sirena and it was way too sweet. The bartenders were so so nice, and accommodating. read more

Such a nice chill rooftop experience. Beautiful view of the city! Drinks were decent and staff super nice.

We decided to try a new location in AZ and found this nice roof top bar and we were very impressed. Bartender was Javier and he was a very pleasant and friendly young man. We have to say we will be back and recommend this location to our friends. We tried the rib sliders and street tacos, the were delicious. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Good is amazing! Be sure to ask for Gina when you come. She always takes care of her customers. read more

great views & great drinks!! the mule was bomb & our server was super sweet & helpful

I contacted the Alibi at Canopy Hotel super last minute-- a friend's now-fiancé gave very little lead time (48 hours!) to have us plan a surprise engagement party for after he popped the question. I called the Alibi and was put into contact with Jenifer, one of the managers. She was WONDERFUL. She provided us an intimate table with beautiful nice touches (candles, chocolate strawberries, champagne toast) to make sure the evening was extra special. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, awesome views... would definitely go back for a night out or to host another event! read more

Loved this place! My friend hosted her engagement party here and it was beautiful! They did a great job enforcing COVID restrictions by having us wear a mask & all of the staff as well. I definitely would recommend anyone to visit! read more

For a Friday night, extremely understaffed. Food was overpriced for small portions. But the views were great. Music was also great shout out to the DJ read more

Cute rooftop but really overpriced plates for semi-quality meats. Our birthday dinner night was kinda ruined towards the end as the bartender said we weren't allowed to bring a cake even tho it was already pre-approved (it should have been written down so he didn't miss it). I think with the fact that there was only 2 other parties on the floor, it should have been overlooked. Also servers weren't as skilled as they should have been for the prices and atmosphere. read more

Disgusted by the manager, and how she treated her customers. Just because we aren't of older age, doesn't mean we shouldn't be treated with respect. Right on campus too... not going to work out. read more

Wow! little hidden gem in Tempe! I came here in town to visit some friends and I am so glad we found this place to check out! The atmosphere was amazing and such a cute place with great views! definitely come visit with a group of friends. The food and drinks are amazing too! we tried different foods on the menu and drinks and they did not disappoint! This is going to be a spot I will visit everyone time I come in town. read more

This was an amazing venue for my friends engagement party! During Covid they made a space that was cleanly and safe and away from other people, really appreciated their accommodation during this trying time. It was beautiful and the view was amazing! read more

Highly recommend! I attended an engagement party here, they closed off a section on the rooftop for us and they were very accommodating from taking our orders they were quick to service our drinks we order and they turned out delicious. At one point we had asked if they had a speaker of any kind to play music they were so kind to lend us one. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and would definitely recommend this place. read more
