"Previously a student-orientated bar in its previous guise as Varsity, The Alibi now has a distinct attraction to office workers, sports fans and large groups.
"It's not hard to see why with fantastic drink prices and a great offering, which, during our visit, included Bombadier amongst other cask ales and Verve Cliquot Yellow Label Champagne at the cheapest price we've seen in Manchester." ~ ManchesterBars.com (Mar 2011)
