Whether you’re looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing dinner spot or a chill evening hangout by the beach, Alibi is a safe choice. This spot is well-loved by locals and vacationers alike thanks to its consistently mouthwatering food and friendly, fun atmosphere. There’s a reason they enjoy such high reviews: they hit the nail on the head pretty much every time.
When you walk up to Alibi, the first thing you’ll see is the festive outdoor patio and big, welcoming double doors. Don’t expect a sophisticated, artsy escape, though Alibi does serve up a mean martini. They’re the quintessential beach bar, with menus in Bud Light buckets and highway signs and surfboards hanging on the walls. But they’re a bit more than the typical beach bar.
The food is consistently top-notch. Don’t expect healthy food here, but do expect mouthwatering comfort, from their made-to-order pizzas to the wings, fries, and onion rings that keep guests coming back for more.
Some of our menu favorites from Alibi Beach Lounge and Grill include:
House Smoked Tuna Dip
It’s hard to go wrong with this creamy, smoky, cheesy dip that combines smoked tuna with cream cheese, high-quality mayo, and a hint of jalapeño peppers. Served up with tortilla chips, this dip could be a meal on its own–or an excellent appetizer to share with friends before enjoying a more robust plate.
Wings
Choose from classic buffalo, BBQ, Sweet Chili, Mango Habañero, Garlic Parmesan, Kickin’ Bourgon, or the homemade “Dude Sauce.” The wings here will keep you coming back for more; they’re flavorful, juicy, and served up hot and fresh every time.
Pizzas
The wait time is a bit longer for the pizzas, simply because they’re made to order, and good things take time. Opt for either a 12″ pizza or a flatbread with a decent, if not expansive, array of veggie and meat toppings.
Burgers
Alibi makes a mean cheeseburger, patty melt, and Hawaiian burger, and no matter which iteration of the burger you try, you’ll find it’s cooked to perfection with fresh, flavorful toppings and attention to how it’s plated and served. The burgers are the most popular menu item for a reason; they exceed the typical bar burger expectation.
Breakfast Options
Alibi also serves breakfast and lunch. Whether you’re in the mood for down-home biscuits and gravy, chicken, and waffles, or a killer omelet, you’ll find it here. They also have a kid’s menu that will satisfy even the pickiest eaters among us.
Location
Alibi Beach Lounge & Grill is located right on the coast just south of PCB. It’s just opposite the Grand Lagoon, within easy walking distance of many of the condos and vacation rentals in south Panama City Beach.
Insider Tips:
-Depending on what you order, the wait may be 20-30 minutes; many of the menu items (like the pizzas) are made to order, so bring your patience with you when you come or ask for wait times if you’re in a hurry.
-There’s often live music in the evenings, so stop by to listen to some of the local talent if you’re visiting on a weekend.
