Coronavirus: Alibi Speakeasy & Lounge Temporarily Closes

FARMINGDALE, NY — Alibi Speakeasy & Lounge, a Prohibition-themed joint in Farmingdale offering a wide array of cocktails and appetizers, has temporarily closed and won't reopen until it can resume full operation, owners told Patch.

New York State mandated all restaurants and bars to close indefinitely, save for takeout and delivery services, in a bid to stem the spread of the new coronavirus. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the measures Monday.

While Alibi is temporarily closed, the business is offering a gift certificate promotion for when it reopens. A $25 gift card is going for $20, while a $50 gift card currently costs $35.

Co-owner Pete Dragone said one of his favorite quotes is, "The comeback is always greater than the setback."

"We will be back stronger than ever and can’t wait to give our guests the best cocktails around," he told Patch.

Alibi Speakeasy & Lounge, at 230 Main St., Farmingdale, serves specialty cocktails, Prohibition-themed cocktails, beers, wines, and spirits including gin, vodka, rum, bourbon, tequila and whiskey. The lounge also has a full espresso bar, which offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The food menu consists of appetizers such as a charcuterie board, mac & cheese bites, jumbo pretzel, quesadillas and more. For those with a sweet tooth, there are a handful of dessert options.
