The Alibi
Craft Cocktails in Franklinton, NC
Classic and original cocktails in a small, low-lit room. A large patio out front for drinks, food, and a long evening with friends.
Franklinton’s Best Kept Secret
The Alibi is Franklinton's neighborhood bar with a speakeasy twist. Step inside for handcrafted cocktails, cold beer, and a little old-school atmosphere. Or you can head out to The Yard for live music, games, and a place to kick back with friends. Whether you're dressed up for the night out, or just stopping in for a beer, there's a place for you here at The Alibi.
The Bar
Inside is small, dim, and deliberately easy to miss. The kind of room where a drink takes a minute because someone is actually making it.
The list runs classic and original — built around spirits worth the shelf space and whatever's good right now. Sit at the bar and ask what to drink. It's the fastest way to the right answer.
The Patio
Outside is the other half, and most nights it's the bigger one. Open air, room to spread out, tables that fit a group without anyone standing.
Food from nearby spots is welcome — grab something and settle in.
FOOD at the Alibi
No kitchen here, four good options a short walk away. Toros for tacos, Curtsy's for burgers, Owl's Roost for pizza, Bleachers for wings — and Bleachers will deliver straight to you.
