As we stepped into the cocktail bar, we were greeted by friendly employee, who turned out to be the manager. Very cool and great conversationalist.

Loved the vibe, NOLA kind of decor... Those chandeliers were awesome! Already looking forward to going back!!

If you're looking for something without a big crowd, this seems like a good option. Although I don't know why there isn't a bigger crowd here!

Once she came over, every draft beer I was interested in ... they didn't have. She mentioned their menu changing recently. I ordered a blue moon and a water but I never got my water.

Dedicated to first time visitors to this concert venue…read more My wife & I are local from a nearby county, 04/02/26 was OUR first time. My wife 59,  I'm 68, we're married 42 yrs. 1. Park 2. VIP MEET 3. PPit Entry 4. GA Entry We met so many great Americans from Maine to Nebraska.  From Texas to Ohio. 1. Parking: Parking is no issue. I parked in a zone paid twice to stay valid. Total $10.60. Safe & close. 2. VIP MEET 4 pm a line formed at the FRONT door  for "VIP GREET". 3. PPit Entrance Gradually, a line formed on the left hand side of the building as you face the front about 1/3 of the way back.  This line was for the "PPit" area. I saw a venue employee in a yellow t-shirt, and was told to go for GA 4. GA Entry GA LINEs at wooden gates on the OPPOSITE end of the block from front doors. We could BOTH enter there.  ( in the back of that whole block from the front ). These gates appear like they might be hiding a "dumpster entrance" until you "peep" inside. Then you see the "General Admission" signs. The venue has absolutely NO SIGNAGE" OUTSIDE anywhere around the block. Gates don't open until what's posted on their website. They don't even begin to set out flags, tables, any kind of "signs" they are about to "open" until 10 minutes before time to open.  Be prepared to show ID if you want to drink alcohol. You get a yellow wrist band with "21+" all over it. Once entering, they scan your ticket, be prepared to remove EVERYTHING from your pockets holding it ALL in your hands above your head while they use metal detectors for your safety. Now you are inside. It's a nice outdoor venue for this show. There's a few picnic tables for eating and resting. We did not sample available food so I cannot comment on it except to say there were food trucks there. Our first beer was 24 ounce Coors Light. I'm not exactly sure why, but they just tasted different from any Coors Light I ever had. They have to pour them in a plastic cup. Maybe that changed the taste. I don't know. The total cost for the 2 beers was about $30. I don't recall seeing "prices", that was merely an unexpected surprise. Then it came time to get the wife in the "Preferred Pit Area" and we learned then she was going to have to have a "Special Wrist Band" and that we had to walk to where people were "entering" the venue from THAT line. My wife not wanting to be "rude" to people in that line, almost made 2 critical mistakes, ( thinking about getting in the END of that line ) First, almost leaving the venue with a beer. Second, almost voiding her own ticket since "if you leave there's no re-entry." Fortunately, security stopped her as did I, and we got her that special "Preferred Pit Area" wrist band so she could enter into the pit there. Our second beer was "Good People IPA" because they only had COORS as a recognizable brand, but neither of us really found that beer "palatable". Total for 2 beers, $19.60 with tip. Security allowed me to pass through the ADA section to pass the wife her beer. Maybe we're just not accustomed to craft beers. I recommend sticking with COORS TBH. They have many craft beers if that's your thing. We enjoyed the show, although a couple of times to rest her left knee, my wife squatted quite a bit, or down on one knee and out of abundance of caution? They rushed security or fire medics to her aid to make sure she was doing OK every time she went to one knee. I'm happy the venue took that extra care, although it eventually became redundant. We never tried their cocktails but it appeared like they might have been fantastic just by judging the intoxication level of the ladies, there.  There's your supportive pointers.  Where to find lines for entry, remember to get those wristbands that aren't mentioned anywhere. And don't accidentally wander out of any open gates. I owe a debt of gratitude to the young lady who bought my wife some water, and the rest of the ladies in the "Preferred Pit" who looked out for her. "THANK YOU". Leaving was uneventful as we decide to sit and wait on others to leave and we left together. We made friends and many nice introductions with a lot of people from all over America. It's not really necessary to get here 2 hours early. Relax in Parking and introduce yourselves to each other. Head to the gate about 30 minutes until time. Hopefully the venue reads this, updates outside with  signs, and realizes just how many visitors from ALL across AMERICA comes  here!

More like 3.5 stars ... but had to go with 3 stars…read more I was really looking forward to my first time visit here. Me and my friend came here just to grab a nightcap on a Saturday night. The staff/bartenders were all super friendly. The vibe was dark and chill. Typical bar feels. Since they didn't have the best drink menu, we just both ordered an old fashioned to sip on. We hated them! It was so cinnamon forward and just overall not a well made drink. We couldn't even fake it to finish it. I am willing to give this spot another chance later on down the line.

The Yelp! Category questions really can't fit this place. It's like trying to fit the proverbial…read more'quadrahelic block of unknown dimensions' into a surface without any obvious holes. They don't normally serve food, so you can bring your dog. Except tonight they're having a crawfish boil. Is it romantic? Not by my estimation, but there is always a couple kanoodling in the corner which is making the people holding a wake slightly uncomfortable. So why should you come? Three reasons: 1) the service. Bartenders that can meet a wide variety of expectations are hard to find. 2) the quality of the cocktails is hard to beat. It's so nice to have the Buffalo Trace Manhattan hit the bar without a word being said. 3) The price. Ten bucks for a top shelf Manhattan (I pray they don't read this) is such a bargain. I may be here in happy hour, but hey. One of B'ham's must sees. Please don't though, because as the song says, 'Everyone hates a tourist'.

This place is storied, I'm sure my parents drank here before I was even thought of. Birmingham legend spot. No beers on draft, I understand, means they have less dishes to do. But they have all the classic domestics and local beers you could want. Plus, they make great cocktails. The spicy marg here is unlike any other. Service is insane. On this Monday, we were treated like regulars. The man in charged asked us what kind of music we wanted on, "pourers choice," we said. He proceeded to play exactly what we wanted to hear, which included Forget You by CeeLo 3 times. The woman serving our table was awesome. "What can I get for you baby?" Suddenly, my Monday woes fell by the wayside. The couple of outdoor tables are a great spot to enjoy an evening in Birmingham. I haven't bought anything from here yet, but they seem to have any liquor you could want.
