Category:The Alibi, Allentown, Pennsylvania

The Alibi (Alibi Inn) at 4999 West Tilghman Street was a nightclub just outside the western city limits of Allentown.

The club opened in April 1950 as the Polonaise Inn. Put up for sale in Dec 1952. It was sold and reopened in Jun 1953 as the Parkway Manor Inn. In 1956/1957 much of the land to the west of the nightclub was taken by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Comission in the building of the Northeast Extension of the Turnpike and the Allentown exit for it. In October 1968, it changed hands again and became Ilona's Parkway Manor Inn. It lastly became the Alibi Inn in February 1971.

The nightclub closed in April 1980, ostensibly for repairs, however it never reopened after it closed. After the nightclub closed, its parking lot was used as a flea market (Alibi Flea Market), and a used car lot. The property was purchased and torn down in 1984 after a kitchen fire, which was later deemed to be arson. Today, the land is now an office park.
