Our Story

More Than a Coffee
Shop. More Than a
Bar.

The Alibi started with a simple idea: create a space where Erie can come as it is. Morning people grab a pour-over and settle into a corner. Evening crowds find their usual stool at the bar and let the good times roll.

We roast our coffee locally, source our spirits with intention, and treat every person who walks through our door like they belong here — because they do.
