Georgie's Alibi Monkey Bar

Great atmosphere. The shirtless bartenders had amazing customer service, the Latino one. Made me the best drinks I’ve had. Loved it. Plz do not lower the quality of your staff… I’ve had so many unpleasant experiences lately with customer service (not at this place, but other places yes), and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. And makes me not ever want to go out. But your place remains a small beacon of light, don’t lose that plz

I’ve been to this place many times, but what a change it’s become. These days it feels geared almost entirely toward the younger crowd—and the music often isn’t even danceable. I remember when the venue was just coming into its own, when they played real songs: music you could actually feel, enjoy, and move to. The kind that filled the room and had everyone dancing, together. I truly hope it finds its way back to some of those nights again.

This nasty disgusting horrible person of a so call bartender doesn’t have any respect or customer service. He is trash and doesn’t belong behind a bar. His attitude stinks like his breathe. When he came to service my table I immediately said “may I order lemon pepper wings please” he walked off grab his tablet and came back he asked did I want 8 or 12 piece I ask how much was the 12 piece he gave the amount and because it was a Monday night I ask was there any drink specials I wasn’t able to hear him because he quickly with a passive aggressive tone answered. I ignored the slight aggression, my friend handed me his phone in the mist of the short angry man saying to me “what flavor wings do you want because the kitchen is about to close” with a rushing demeanor as if he was annoyed my friend handed me his phone in the middle of him telling me how much the 12 piece was and the drink special which again he said so quickly with a nasty tone. So I responded to him “lemon pepper, I said that already” he almost broke his neck and gave me the nastiness look. The thing is people don’t like their own medicine. The whole time he’s being passive aggressive and now that it’s being done back to him, he didn’t like it. He got upset because I gave him the energy he gave to me and also if he was doing his job right and was actively listening and providing good customer service he wouldn’t have to ask what flavor wings I wanted because I said from start may I order lemon pepper wings please. We go back and forth for a little and he thought he was doing something by getting on the walkie talkie to call his manager, who I complained to about the short angry man attitude, behavior, and disgusting customer service. Avoid this angry short man at all cost his attitude is disgusting or they just need to get rid of him you don’t need to be in that industry with bad customer service that’s bad for business.

It’s like the 4th time I’ve been here and I have to say, there’s nothing wrong with this place. I love the music, the atmosphere, and omg the food is sooooo gooood! This day we ordered the Easter Ham Dinner and the Portobello Mushroom pasta w chicken, the pastas here are amazing, this is one of my favorite places to eat in Wilton Manors, highly recommended. ☺️ Dayana is so amazing! She was so attentive and charismatic, we loved her, hahaha

I actually think this is a great hot spot in miami, for fun, it gets crowded for sure however the entertainment is fun, not too much of the guys dancers but the food I actually liked for it being a bar. Definitely enjoyed their wonton and pasta! Drinks, ehhh i like the buy one get one option but they are, okay. Always worth a try for own preference.

My friends and I visited Wilton Manors for Halloween and, as usual, made a stop at Alibi — typically one of our must-visit spots. Unfortunately, our experience this time was extremely disappointing and, frankly, troubling. One member of our group ordered five shooters. As the bartender (pictured) began pouring rail vodka, our friend realized he hadn’t specified the brand and politely asked if we could have Grey Goose instead. Rather than clarifying or continuing the order, the bartender immediately stopped, threw his hands up, rolled his eyes, and walked away to serve other customers. Over the next thirty minutes, despite multiple polite attempts to reorder and even offering to pay for the original drinks, the bartender refused to address or serve anyone in our group. We were all coherent, calm, and respectful. What made the situation worse was that four of the five of us are Black, and it was hard not to notice the contrast between how we were treated and how the bartender eagerly served others around us. We tried to get a manager’s attention, but the crowd was too large that night. Still, the experience left us feeling unwelcome and singled out in a space that’s supposed to be inclusive and affirming. We’ve always appreciated the usually friendly and welcoming environment at Alibi, which makes this experience especially disheartening. I hope management takes this seriously so no one else has to feel discriminated against or dismissed in what should be a safe and joyful space for everyone.

I had a truly unacceptable experience here. A guy rushed past my table, slammed into it, and my entire drink went straight into my lap. I was soaked. He threw out a quick “sorry” and ran off to the bathroom without doing anything to fix what he caused. No offer to help, no offer to replace the drink, nothing. Anyone would be upset in that situation. I was sitting there drenched while trying to enjoy a night out with a friend. When he came back out, I tried to talk to him about it. Before I could even speak, his friend grabbed me from behind in a bear hug and said, “Leave him alone, I’m his friend.” That alone was completely out of line. I was simply trying to address what had happened. What happened next was even worse. Staff took the guy outside to listen to his story, but they refused to let me explain mine. They kept shutting the door on me and the bartender kept repeating, “He said he told you he was sorry,” as if that one sentence erased the fact that I was sitting there soaked and uncomfortable. A quick apology from someone who ran away is not accountability. Then a staff member told me, “You’ll be leaving soon,” before even hearing what actually happened. That attitude made the entire situation feel hostile and dismissive. I was not upset for no reason. I was drenched, ignored, and treated like I was the problem for reacting to something that would have upset anyone. If someone dumped a drink all over you and ran off, would “sorry” be enough for you? This situation was handled poorly from start to finish. A little respect, a little fairness, and actually listening to both sides would have solved everything. Instead, I left feeling disrespected and blamed for a mess someone else caused.

Stopped in a for a few drinks and to hangout for a little while as I always do when visiting the area, ordered a vodka soda from the bartender he recommended Tito’s so I said sure unknowingly I would be paying almost $15 for a drink, when there was a special on absolute for half the price, it felt pretty shady knowing as a bartender my self I would always offer what we have special also. It gave off a very scammy feeling and put a bad taste on the tongue, I think after the many years of patronizing this bar I will no longer be coming back. The last year it’s gone downhill from service standards to sketchy service practices. There’s many more upbeat and professional setting close by that do not break the wallet or make you feel scammed.

Food has never disappointed but for me, I go for the live entertainment. Specifically the singers. Brian Mason always crushes and is quick to allow other singers on stage to accompany him. When you go be sure to get Matty at the bar to serve you. He's quick and always remembers my drink. He's the best for me.

Great food for the price 2/1 drinks during the happy hour Also very good entertainment

One of the OG bars/clubs in the area. Good food, good drinks and fun shows. Gia and Charlie are great servers. Keep your personal belongings close to you. Alibi is know for pick pocketers.

On a Tuesday because I heard how great LaNora was as a singer. She can sing BUT She is on a MFN Lauren Hill schedule she started at 8:30 show was advertised to start at 7:30! Good thing she is pitch perfect as I was about to leave and give a bad review!

I'm a frequent customer of this bar because I have a lot of fun here and I usually come with my friends on Friday nights, but I had never been treated like tonight and this Review goes directed to the bartender Chad, he's so rude for treating customers, tonight I asked him for a drink and after I paid him I grabbed my drink I stayed at the bar for a while and then asked him for my pass to get my second drink and he literally yelled at me in front of more people saying that he had already given it to me and I simply walked away, I stayed at the bar ever since he gave me my first drink and he never really gave me the pass to get my second free drink and all he did instead of helping was yelling at me. So bad customer service none of the bartenders had ever treated me like that before I think that someone should talk to him about this matter. Thank you.

Monday night #dinner with the boys at #georgiesalibiwiltonmanors filled with 2for1 filthy #dirtymartinis, steak #streettacos appetizer and a magnificent #gyro converted into a #glutenfreeoption {beyond grateful and humbled by the chef's kindness }. The music is always perfection and the ambiance of the outdoor patio is just fabulous, I love sitting at the high tops!

I absolutely love this place!! Every time I'm in town I gotta stop in to see my favorite bartender Mattie. He is the best bartender always so attentive and welcoming. Thank you Mattie for making this one of my favorite bars in Wilton!!!

All the food was pretty good! Only giving 4 stars because the service was mediocre. But definitely recommend, it's a nice vibe here. The only thing is the general tso's chicken was $17 and you only get 5 little pieces of chicken and a pound of rice. (The chicken was still good nonetheless) lol. Crab Rangoon was very good! Highly recommend.

As far as gay bars go on Wilton Drive, the Alibi is reliable. There are several staff members my girlfriend and I have great rapport with (hi Mattie & Jose!), and the food and drinks have never been a letdown. Their '2 for 1' with different colored chips indicating type of drink is lovely, and for a run-of-the-mill bar, the vast variety of food options are really solid. I love that there's designated smoking and non-smoking sections for the outdoor seating as well. However -- I would rather pee outside than use their bathrooms. It truly is an 'absolute emergency' situation that inspires me to think about showering the moment I get home. Lack of cleanliness aside -- the truly unfortunate reason for the 2-star rating relates to the bathroom attendant. On a previous occasion, the attendant stopped my girlfriend because she didn't tip him. This time, he upped his game by unplugging the UV hand dryer and asking patrons to give him tips for paper towels. Truly egregious. Will I stop coming? Nah. It's a welcoming bar and I never feel judged for being a lesbian in a neighborhood that is 95% gay men (thanks, y'all). I just will make sure I don't use the facilities whenever I visit.

I came here a few times during my visit to Ft Lauderdale. The outdoor space is great. A nice covered Patio with a bar. The wrap I had was very good with crispy tater tots. Very friendly wait staff.

Good view and love the vibe here. Music great. Best place in the plaza here. Check it out!

We go to Alibi on Saturday evenings and I think they have the best wings on the Drive. But the real reason we go is to see Jennifer McClain. Always a great Evening with many friends.

We usually like Alibi and its early shows. Tonight the Boozy Belters are the entertainers , who are EXCELLENT. However, there is only one bartender for the whole bar. Obviously, we had to wait long tome to be served. I wonder if Alibi is short of staff because it does treat them right.

I speak for the many when i say, The outside bar chairs are a poor choice to keep regulars and guests you expect to return who support the bar. In short- the bar is dying

I have been going to Alibi for over 20 years, a regular when I in FLL. I took four friends there yesterday and was stunned and the rudeness of the trash waiter. I have reversed our entire credit card charge. That should ID the waiter and maybe get some attention. The owner, "Johnny Y. K. Pak" needs to give serious consideration to major inside staff changes. I have never encountered such a rude bunch of creatures in a retail establishment. Watching them was really sad and disappointing. True, these days it is difficult to find good help. But this bunch of tip-whores is beneath contempt. Over the years, I have likely spent tens of thousands of dollars at this place. But never again.

I feel some of the staff here are unfriendly. If a customer is patient, polite and tips well, doesn't cause trouble or get too drunk, then there is no reason for staff to be rude to them. It ruins your night. There are a couple of staff here that are an absolute pleasure. However others are pretty horrible, to me at least. For example Jose, even when I overtip the money is snatched away without a thank you or any acknowledgment. I don't need people to be my best friend, but dirty looks and surly attitude aren't called for.

Bartender on Friday night on the inside bar made a margarita that was so bad (undrinkable) that I had to go to the outside bar to get a respectable drink. I love Alibi, but this was pretty bad. Please retrain your bartenders on how to make a proper margarita!

Sketchy people allowed to take up valuable space without buying drinks? Had friends in town the last two weekends and ending up going on Saturday nights for the drag show. Both experiences were similarly bad. Bar seats filled by trash not buying drinks and/or not tipping the entertainers? No one cares how this screws the staff and pisses off actual customers like me (us). Easy solution is a two drink minimum or a cover that's credited back for drinks/food. Additionally we've seen a new "scammer element" of young men targeting older customers for drinks/money. No visible security or management inside to deal with/see anything. We like the hard working bar staff and drag performers however ownership/management constantly disappoints...

Had an amazing time and the food was yummy. I totally support local businesses. Want to go back and finish what we started!!

Good food and great service. Location is great right in the heart of the action. Definitely a repeat.

You can pick from smoking or non-smoking area on the patio area which I thought was awesome. Love sitting on the patio but hate smelling cigarettes. Someone greeted our table promptly and we placed our order. Food prices were average but consider you will be receiving lunch serving sizes. We ordered the chicken flat bread pizza and potato skins. Both were hot, fresh and awesome to taste. If you are looking for a patio area that offers nice, simple lunch food, fast, this is the place.

Overall if you visit "the Drive" the Alibi is your best option. Price wise it is comparable or actually cheaper than other places I have found on Wilton Drive. The food is good and the drinks are both good and reasonable. Some places charge a buck more and pour heavier, but is that what it is about. You want to date a drunk, well even at Alibi that can happen, but that is not Alibi's mission... the mission is for you to have a good time with good food and beverages... and entertainment. How many of these other places even have entertainment. Maybe ATMs are not all that important but they reflect an establishment's commitment to their customers and community. I'm good with feedback.

Ordered the daily taco special. Come dry with no salsa. I asked my server for salsa and was told the special comes without it but he could get me some for a charge. Meanwhile The Pub was packed but Alibi barely any customers.

This place honestly sucks. We ate here this past weekend and were served by a person named Gia. Sweaty and hyper, honestly gave us anxiety. I swear a drop of sweat fell from their brow onto the table. I've always had good service here but Gia messed up a few things and quickly dismissed the mistakes as something as a nonissue. Table was dirty and not kept. Bring back the server with the green eyes big smile and fun service. We'll come back when he's there.

Cool bar on Wilton Manors. Great service, fun place with nice entertaining and drag show. Food was good for a bar and drinks were not bad.

Go there all the time. Recommend the chicken tenders. Service is great. And the atmosphere is also great. If it happens to be a Friday night stay for the show with Teresita La Caliente.

Staff can be just awful, you can tell that they just don't want to be there, and care if you're a patron or not. No pride in their work or their community. Certainly better places to spend your time.

Totally deceptive "2 for 1" pricing as advertised in the bar -- only applies to select vodkas (Titos), but not others -- despite signage with no fine print proudly announcing 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour. Bartender could have at least pointed out that we could select another vodka and enjoy the special. Businesses are free to implement whatever pricing they choose, but transparency is not only expected but required. This is a clear violation of trust and probably several consumer protection laws, but not worth the effort to do anything more than never return and post this warning. Plenty of other options with honest and fair pricing and transparency for their customers -- and friendlier staff. Regrettable.

I opened the door to enter the outdoor food area. The waiter absolutely lost his mind, screaming at me for blocking his space. I attempted to speak to him; a second waiter verbally assaulted me. I'm without words, to be honest. I realize FLL is a tourist town, but I've never been treated with outright hate for walking through a door.

I've been going for years and only recently with Ricky as manager has this place really gone downhill. The shows and events are constantly cancelled and changed at the expense of the LGBTQ+ community. The management has no shame about criticizing big, trans, or ethnic peoples in the open. Do not support this place.

I've recommended this place so many times I lost count. For years this was my "go-to" place for a delicious hamburger, the best in S Florida. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, things change. I typically sit in the patio area because of its cleanliness, and it's away from the bar area. I arrived around the lunch hour, and the patio was 3/4 full. I had to wait 10 minutes for someone with an attitude to seat me; I was okay with waiting because they were short-staffed, but the attitude was unacceptable. Once seated, it took a few seconds for the waitress to bring the menu, utensils, and take my drink order, and literally less than 30 seconds to get my ice tea. She was friendly and, considering the tuff crowd, very happy. I ordered my favorite burger, "the champ," a rare, medium winner of the FTL burger bash in 2010. it has caramelized onions, chipotle mayo, American cheese on a brioche bun with a side of fries. It took quite a while to get the food to my table, but I was ok with it. The staff was obviously struggling to keep up with the demanding clientele. The burger arrived just as I ordered it, but it looked like it was slapped together. The size of the burger appeared to be smaller, and the taste was nowhere close to what it used to be. This is the 4th time in a row I ate here and had a fail. The burger by itself was good, but it wasn't spectacular like in the past. I found out that the cook quite a while back, and it's obviously affecting the food quality here. I was by myself during this visit and had company the previous visits that agree with my assessment. Missing was the salt, pepper, sweetener, and the excellent service I was used to. I feel I should've at least had the basic sweetener for my tea, salt, and pepper. The floor was messy, but considering the crowd, I was okay with my missing items and the floor being messy. Service was prolonged, but that's ok as well. It took a while to get the waitress's attention to ask for the check. Considering the circumstances, she did a good job. Again the burger was an epic failure and not worth the trip. Sadly I doubt I'll be back here again

Music on Monday nights used to be just Antonio. Now with a lady. Her microphone is louder than Antonio (tonight as Brian). So loud I had to leave early. Antonio and Brian are great. No reason for it getting louder. Seems like she is controlling.

Decided to have lunch out today. Was greeted by a lovely host and seated in Nico's section. Nico was very friendly and we placed the order for the Sausage Hoagie Special and Southwest Rolls. The hoagie was deeeeeelicious! Alibi always offer great music, outdoor seating and a great staff. Love you guys and thanks for always being there for the ‍ community. Besos Mi Amor!

My first time back in a long time and now I remember why. Horrible bar service. I' was standing at the bar and it took 10 minutes to get a drink. The bartender who finally served me had such a Bad attitude. No wonder it's so empty

Omg! Love this place! This is my first time here and I am hooked! The tuna nachos are amazing! Freshest tuna I've ever had, and the seaweed salad is drool worthy! Our server was Christian, and he was so amazing! Incredibly attentive and so funny! He kept us wanting more. I will ask for him every time! Yesenia was super sweet too! Overall, we had an amazing time and can't wait to come back!

On December of 2022, I had the worst experience in my life with this sham business. Me and my partner who frequented this business for the past couple of years we're harassed and accused of stealing?! which WE ourselves on June 2022 of the same year were PIT POCKETED (phone stolen) and tried to speak to bar attendants for help, bathroom attendants & Manager who ALL turned their backs (they wouldn't even a jot our number to call us back in case they found the phone) which led us to file a police report with 3 other victims. (BUT the kicker is they turn their backs on us in June (since they didn't care to reach out after our attempts with them) and i guess i should've known to never return back here... but now they claim we are thief's???) They not only accused us who are frequent LOCALS of stealing or whatever, but denied to show us proof of the acts they so claim. They will take PICTURES of you without consent, and send these pictures to their neighboring business to also deny you. We called for WEEKS and spoke to, (**John**) who said he would check back up but did not, (**Mickey**) who also said would check up but did not, and (**Betsy**) who will claim to look into this claim but ultimately turn their backs again. Finally, my partner went on early January in person to resolve this issue again as this could affect his job and mine (using our pictures) and us going to our local bars in Wilton as limited spaces of the LGBT community exist in south FL. & first Betsy claimed their was no issue but then proceeded to ask for ID from him to only take a picture of his ID to further block from using any services in the neighboring businesses. (Learned after contacting local law enforcement, Alibi's sends neighboring businesses these pictures to each other.) We frequented so much we knew servers, Security, bathroom attendants, the old woman (Betsy who serves menus) and some drag performers. Why us Alibis, wtf? I have never been profiled ESPECIALLY in the LGBT community. As someone who for years supported this business i am more than upset. *****AVOID***** if your phone gets stolen? (They don't care). However, if they wanna profile you and accusing of stealing: they are a private business so they can. Look at the rest of reviews, this happens often..

Another local watering hole in the Wilton Manors gayborhood. A bit confusing as it's a restaurant/bar with it appearing more like a bar with seating in the back and side patio for dining only. Live music inside if that's your thing; however, limited seating awaits. Outside front entrance patio is much quieter but no misters outside.

I have been here many times and have had a good time with my friend, however today was very different i met Remy! And let me just say his energy and customer service as a bartender was beyond amazing! I wish there was more bartenders like him. Because of him i will come back to alibi more often.

Went to this bar not expecting much. But the bathroom attendant was very rude. I will not go back to this bar again. They need to check these people before they get into businesses. I'm here with friends to have fun not get attitude. And the managers did nothing. Vote with your money. This is not a very welcoming place. And it goes all the way up to the management. SMH food is also Mediocre bar food. Nothing special.

It's a very interesting state of affairs in this country when my heterosexual sister and her husband take her gay brother to a gay bar/restaurant for lunch. At one time, I would have known the gay places. And she's a Republican! What is wrong with this picture?!? We were going to Gay Pride (naturally) with their 7-year-old son, because he loves going to Gay Pride. We were planning on having lunch and my brother-in-law told me about how great Georgie's hamburgers are. He recommended "The Champ" which was voted the best burger in the area in 2010. Well, he was right. It was incredible. It wasn't cheap, but it was excellent! The staff were all very nice and accommodating. You can imagine how busy they would be on this day, but they still took their time with us, which is especially important when there is a child present. And the bathroom is clean! That's very important. The prices could be a little better, but otherwise, the place is great. I can't say how it is in the evenings because I don't drink and have never experienced that, but the restaurant is definitely worth visiting.

Love the vibe and fabulous bartenders. Always great service and delicious food and drink.

I recently had lunch at the covered outdoor restaurant. The food was good as usual but i noticed how dirty the outside of the restaurant was. They need to pressure clean the floors outside before they have the dirty dining TV crew make a surprise visit.

Love this place! So mostly it's awkward for two straight females to hang out on the strip but not at Georgie's! We destroyed some chicken nachos while enjoying the 2-4-1 deal! Keith was the best server so attentive and ready for our every need. (And he's got some glass blue eyes that you look into and see the depths of your soul too!) love this place every time, the food the service

Never took the time to review Georgie's, but taking the time now! Have eaten at the Monkey Bar many, many times pre and post pandemic! We've always had great and friendly greeting, friendly staff, incredible service and the food is and has always been delicious! So many choices and everything is fresh! Great outdoor seating, fans and socially distancing of their tables!

The LGBTQ performers are one of the pillars that keep this bar going, but it's consistently clear that Alibi doesn't value or appreciate the work that these entertainers put into their performances. The average patron is likely oblivious to this, but for those who are conscious of where their dollars go, this might be a useful tidbit of information. Personally, it's hard for me to justify supporting an LGBTQ establishment when they don't fully support the community in return.

with so many places in Wilton Manors, make sure to skip this one and not waste your time. There are better places to spend your money at. Oh and if you do go, make sure you tip your drag queens, They surely do treat them horribly there.

This past weekend, I enjoyed a South Florida staycation from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and had the BEST time visiting Georgie's Alibi Monkey Bar on both Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. As a super fan of supremely talented entertainer Jennifer McClain, I always make plans to see her whenever she performs two shows in one weekend at Alibi. On Saturday evening, I arrived early at Alibi for Jennifer's "Diva On Demand" show and had an exceptional experience with at the bar with bartender Jair. He remembered me from my last visit and also my favorite type of vodka. Jair is welcoming and beyond friendly. My evening at Jennifer's show in the Monkey Bar was so much fun and the lively crowd made the night extra special. Bartender Josh impressed me with his energy and efficiency in delivering all of the drink and food orders from the large crowd with a smile. On Sunday afternoon, I returned to Alibi for Jennifer's "Chill Zone" show in the Main Bar and had an outstanding time. Bartender Niko was kind and provided phenomenal guest service. The crowd was ready to enjoy themselves and Jennifer brought the house down with her songs and style. There are many establishments in Wilton Manors for food, drink, and fun with Georgie's Alibi Monkey Bar a BEST in class venue and experience.

My friend and I both got PICK POCKETED. Our phones and wallets were taken. Apparently at least 5 other people also had things stolen the same night. If you read the other reviews this happens a lot here. It would be helpful if Alibi tried to in the very least make sure people were aware to watch out. Otherwise the dancing and performances are fun. Just watch your stuff because if feels like no one else is going to have your back there.

I've visited Georgie's Alibi a few times over the years, but now that I live here, it comes up on my radar more often. I had snacks, dinner, and obviously many 2-4-1 happy hour drinks. I've even had one of their infamous Thursday night $3 Long Island iced teas. From what I can recall, the LIIT come in mason jars and are a deadly throwback to college days when I could mix and drink all the bottom shelf liquor at the same time (those days are long gone). Still, if you're a tourist and like to try anything once, try the LIIT on Thursdays. At least you can brag you only paid $3 for a huge drink. I found the dinner entrees fairly typical of pub food and pretty bland. Obviously that is what their regulars like, so just spice up your tacos and everything else with hot sauce. Their bar appetizers are more successful. The wings are tasty (and Sriracha spicy), and their edamame is ok and worth it during happy hour pricing. We tend to avoid Alibi later at night because the music is played too loudly when there isn't a show. Gays are going to be deaf by 60 at this rate. Alibi's Monkey Bar is more to our liking...the music is not as loud, and it usually has a good crowd, especially on Latin nights and when the go-go boys are dancing.
