The Redmont Hotel was a very good stay for me. It is an older hotel, but they have updated it in a…read moreway that works well. The room felt functional, comfortable, and nicely put together. Tonya checked me in and was very kind. I had a king bed and the room was set up the way I like it. The bathroom was nice, and the overall layout worked well. I requested a refrigerator and microwave, and they brought them up without any problem. Juma came up and installed everything, which I appreciated. One good tip is the parking. The hotel has parking, but there is also parking across the street for a fraction of the cost. It was about ten dollars for twelve hours or twenty dollars for twenty four hours, so that is worth knowing if you are trying to save a little money. The location is another major plus. It is very central and walkable. I used Yelp to find several restaurants nearby and was able to walk downtown to different spots without any problem. That convenience really adds value to the stay. I even stopped by the bar and they were kind enough to give me ice and help me out there too. Honestly, the staff here are so nice that it really pushes the experience up for me. In my head this is about four and a half stars, and on Yelp I am happy to round that up to 5 stars.

Terrible, disgusting hotel and even worse management. The local manager, Tonya Williams, is an…read moreoutright liar. Do not stay here at all!! I would rate this Hilton property 0 stars if we could. We are loyal Hilton Diamond members and have stayed at multiple Hilton properties around the world. This was one of the worst properties we have ever stayed at. We stayed here in February and from the time we attempted to check in, it was disappointing. We were upgraded due to our Diamond status and upon checking into our room it was absolutely disgusting. The bedsheets appeared dingy and the bathroom was gross. There was hair on the ground and a vomit stain on the tile. So vile! We called downstairs right away and were moved to another room that was not much better. However, we were there for a family function and has other guests arriving that we has suggested the hotel to. We did notify the manager on duty and he told us he would escalate our concerns. The next day, the hotel manager, Tonya was on sight and sat down and spoke to us regarding the issues. She agreed that our experience was 100% unacceptable and promised to compensate our Hilton Honors points for our entire stay. She assured us that she would make this happen. Also, despite our complaints and meeting with her, our room was never even serviced by house keeping our entire stay. Now over 1 month later after no follow-up call or email, we contacted her and at first she acted as if she has no idea what we were talking about. Then she stated she escalated the issue to corporate but was unauthorized to issue more than 20,000 points, which covers absolutely nothing. And stated there was not really anything for her to do! She totally and outright lied to us, after she had assured us in person and in an email that our entire points would be compensated. She even had the audacity to even yell at us on the phone. This is not the type of experience I expect as a loyal Hilton Diamond Member. In conclusion avoid this disgusting and poor quality Hilton property at all costs.

The decor is swanky and it makes you feel like you've feel like you're walking through an art museum. It's definitely instagram worthy backdrop. Especially if you go outside. It was July in Alabama so we opted for indoor window seating in the bar area to enjoy the views. There were only two other parties in the restaurant, so we literally had the place to ourselves. The bartender was our server and he was excellent. We attempted to order the oysters (6) as an appetizer, but they were out. We ordered the Pickled Shrimp and Bbq Miso chicken instead. Both were delicious. The shrimp was fresh and cold. The chicken was unique as it had peanuts with the sauce. I had the crispy flounder sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the Panzanella salad with shrimp. The fish was hot and crispy and well seasoned. The fries were delicious, too...thick but not steak cut. I wasn't supposed tot have them, but hey it was Friday eve...that was close enough to the weekend! I'll be back to try the rest of the lunch and dinner menu soon!

They required reservations so they should have done a better job of planning. One thing that bothered me is that our reservation was at 5 and online it states happy hour is 4 to 6. When we were seated we were not provided a happy hour menu and the waitress didn't even know about it until we told her it was listed online. Drinks were more than double on the regular menu. I will say their house wine, Kessler is good especially for $7 a glass. Spritzers are great! Brussel sprouts, rolls and yellow beets were great apps. I was disappointed in my Low Country Boil especially for $33. The shrimp had heads on and the Conecuh Sausage was only at the bottom so at first I thought it was missing. The only thing great about it was the seasoning on the corn. My friends said the trout was good as well as the banana pudding. The rooftop is amazing so I will say you must be paying for atmosphere. A nice touch to keep in mind is the fire pit that is available all year round.

Posting for a friend. Email account is Christylee6578@gmail.com…read more She will be contacting corporate. Had a bad experience while staying there. I rented a room for my daughter's 21st birthday. We went to Moonshine to celebrate. We were going to have food and drinks there and light her birthday cake so that we could have pretty scenery and pictures of Birmingham. As we walked in the door, found our spot a mob of staff came over to ID everyone and said that they saw someone that looked under age on their cameras. The only person that was young was my daughter who was 21 and had a birthday sash that said she's 21 so that was kind of weird. After everyone showed their IDs we asked if we could light the candles for her birthday cake and the bartender/staff said no that there had been a gas leak and that we were not allowed to have lighters and that we could not do that. So we decided to take the cake downstairs to the room. No birthday cake with candles and 21st birthday wishes or pictures to capture the moment and the memory. A little while later we returned back to Moonshine ordered food and drinks. One of the girls in our group of 7 (All individual tickets ) food was not brought out after 10 minutes of everyone else receiving theirs. We got up to check and they said that they thought it was already out, she finally received her order & eventually by that time everyone was already finished with their food and beverages. The next day checking out, the staff member at the front desk, asked how was everything and I had told her what it happened the night before with the incident upstairs at Moonshine. She raised her eye and nodded her head back-and-forth and said there has been no gas leak and if there was they would not be serving food much less have the hotel open for safety precaution. She said that that did not sound right at all. She said probably because it was a group of girls the bartender/staff maybe was just being rude because she said that she was aware that plenty of parties that would include cake and candles have been hosted upstairs plenty of times. The whole story about the gas leak is what really had me questioning what was going on? Was the girl just being ugly to us? Was there really a gas leak? All I know is that the cake that I purchased was useless and my daughter did not get to blow out her candles for her 21st birthday Noor capture the candid moments of doing so at this beautiful hotel for her special occasion. Well, I will say this, the concierge and everyone downstairs at the desk were very nice throughout the time there that we stayed and apologized for what it happened the night before. It's almost as if from the beginning, the bartender/staff came up to us and asked for our IDs, that denied using a lighter to light candles, and then the mixup with the order of our food seemed very intentional. I even began to question why they would be watching us on camera and single out one of the girls in our group who definitely doesn't look under age, but yet they did not have the problem with the actual 21-year-old birthday girl, but asked for all of our ID's and I'm 48 if that gives you any insight, the ladies that were with us, they were not children. These are grown women. The whole thing just ruined a special moment that my daughter will not be able to have again. You only turned 21 once. Spending money on a luxury hotel, food and beverage at Moonshine, ordering room service the next morning plus the purchase of the cake that we did not get to life at candles too seems to be a waste. Beautiful hotel, but definitely would not recommend to anyone that wanted to have a celebration. God forbid you light a candle.

Not a bad stay at all…read more It's an old bank and still has some of the old stuff incorporated into the design. It's a cool building on the outside too. Nice remodel into a hotel and very creative as well. I peaked into the rooms being serviced while I was leaving and none looked the same as mine in the inside. My room had a cool mail chute built into the wall. There is also the old directory in the lobby that listed the branch managers and workers that were on each floor. The inside interior design is very well done. The lobby area is so pretty. I love the graduating wall paint. Incredibly cool. My room had some strange nooks and crannies in it that really made it even cooler. There were windows tucked into tiny corners. Tons of uniqueness. The room was clean, well stocked, coffee maker worked, hot waster came fast, and the bed was super comfy. So much in fact, I thought I was home when I woke up to use the restroom in the night. My only gripe is the it's a bit rough around it. Not much you can do about that. The homeless people that are around are sad to see, and there were quite a few. I wish more could be done to help them. It's tough to sleep in a $250/night room and know people are asleep on the ground outside. Not shaming these fine folks, but it is what it is. I'd return. For sure. '26 - 50

I will eat here again when I return to the city!

It had a good energy right away. I had been looking at a few things on the menu and was really going back and forth. I was interested in the hot chicken, the Brussels sprouts, and also the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. They told me both were really good, and I ended up going with the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. Great choice. I also got a side salad with the chipotle ranch dressing and that was very good too. Picture below. For dessert, I was planning on getting the key lime pie, because that is usually my move, but Hayden my server talked me into trying the blueberry cobbler cheesecake instead. I am glad he did. It was very good. Picture below. Between the crowded room, the good service, and the food, this was a very strong experience all the way around. I am giving The Southern Kitchen & Bar 5 stars.

It's tied to a hotel, which actually adds to the polished feel. The space isn't huge, but that makes it feel intentional and thoughtfully designed. The menu is small, but very detail-attentive -- you can tell care went into it. Appetizers: * The fritters were a standout -- flavorful and a great way to start the meal. * The fried oysters were another excellent choice -- crispy and well done. * The crab dip wasn't bad... it just didn't stand out. It was fine, just kind of "whatever" compared to the other appetizers. Main Courses: * Steak frites - AMAZING. Easily the star of the table. * Short rib pasta - Good flavor, but it felt a little heavy despite not being overly saucy. * Salmon over orzo - Cooked to perfection. Flaky, tender, and really well executed. Drinks & Dessert: * The Old Fashioned was smooth and balanced. * The Bloom cocktail was refreshing and enjoyable. * Finished with apple pie and Biscoff cheesecake -- both solid sweet endings to the night. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the family dinner even more memorable. Portions were generous enough to leave you satisfied but not overwhelmed -- a nice balance. Overall, it's a great spot for meetups, date nights, or even just chilling at the bar solo. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
