Trying Altrincham's new cocktail and karaoke bar

Alibi is nestled on Altrincham's high street - and if it being in Altrincham puts you off, hold your horses.

Four of us went to try the cocktail/karaoke bar, and at the end of the night - Saturday, October 1 - we got an Uber back to Warrington for £20, so please don't let the travelling put you off.

We showed up at the bar and were ushered downstairs, to the converted basement area.

The basement has been transformed into a karaoke den - complete with neon lighting, a surround sound system, and a giant screen.

But what happens when you need a drink but don't want to leave the karaoke session? Well, Alibi has you covered.

There's a doorbell-style system that will call a member of staff down to the 'karaoke den' so nobody misses out on any of the fun.

Plus, the 'den' has a key fob system, meaning that only you and the staff will be able to enter the area - saving any shy singers from having a stranger tumble into the area by accident.

But Alibi works just as well as a cocktail bar, too.

It isn't a karaoke place that happens to do drinks - the drinks were a highlight, too, which means it just adds to the vibrant nightlife on Altrincham's high street.

The bar is owned by Carl Peters and Richard Littman.

Carl said: "It’s been a long time coming and we know it’s going to be a venue that is loved by locals of all ages.

"We’ve created the ideal space to unwind with friends and have some truly carefree fun after a long week.”

Richard added: "We know the Altrincham nightlife scene well and we are confident that Alibi is going to be a popular spot with those who love to party."

Alibi is open Thursday-Sunday, and can be found on Shaw's Road, Altrincham.
