ICYMI: Alibi Speakeasy Offers Prohibition Feel In Farmingdale

FARMINGDALE, NY — The nightlife scene on Farmingdale's Main Street continues to grow. Alibi Speakeasy & Lounge, a Prohibition era-inspired venue, officially opened its wall of doors on Oct. 18, replacing the recently-closed Cork and Kerry speakeasy.

Alibi will keep the feel of 230 Main St.'s previous tenant in tact, from the numerous door knobs at the entrance to the cocktails served in an old-fashioned setting, though the new team has plenty of fresh ideas.

Co-owners Pete Dragone and Chris Molano, as well as Joey Ferraro, the manager, are the same team that runs One Eye Jacks, a bar in Bethpage. While that bar isn't going anywhere, the team wanted to try something new after garnering six years of experience.

"We wanted to come up with a totally different concept of what we've been used to," Dragone told Patch. "This was the perfect location for it: the Village. You've got a lot of great bars and restaurants, but you don't have a lounge. We wanted to create an atmosphere that caters to couples and large parties, as well. It's a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere and ambiance."
