Bars & Pubs

About

One of Hillcrest's oldest neighborhood bars with a liquor license dating to 1936, Alibi anchors the corner of University Avenue and Richmond Street at 1403 University Ave in the 92103 ZIP code. The 1936-era liquor license makes Alibi one of the oldest continuously operating bar licenses in the 92103 ZIP code, anchoring the Richmond and University corner a block from the late-night slice counter at Bronx Pizza on Washington St. The cash-only bar stocks a full liquor lineup, two pool tables with quarter-drop play, and a TouchTunes jukebox loaded with everything from punk to country. An enclosed rear patio permits outside food, and the bar's no-kitchen format pairs with the sandwich builds at Big Front Door on University Ave, whose deli counter serves the same late-night crowd. Alibi operates as a three-location dive bar group with additional outposts in Santee and La Mesa, making it the only multi-site cash-only bar concept anchored in the Hillcrest nightlife corridor.
