Service was good and we did get a chance to meet the owner, Trice. Everyone was pleasant. Our cocktails were fabulous. Trice had explained that the syrups he uses are made in house with the freshest ingredients. We ordered a few apps to go with our drinks. Again, very fresh and light. We absolutely loved the baked pita that came with the warm pimento cheese dip. We didn't taste much of the pimento, but still delicious... I mean who doesn't love melted cheese dip Very pleasant first time experience. Not a huge menu for food, but perfect for apps and cocktails with friends.

I finally got to check out Bygones! My friend and I went for a late night bite and a cocktail, and…read morewe sat at the bar. The service was quick and the hospitality was unmatched. They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink. It's relatively dark in here so much more of a romantic vibe.

I'm giving them 5 stars because they're doing a 5 star job at what it is they're doing. Let me be clear....this is a dive bar/biker bar located in what most people would consider a very bad part of town. They keep the door locked and you have to knock and someone will let you in. I'm not sure why this is, but I suspect its to keep the nefarious types who may linger around in this part of town from barging in and causing trouble. It's a popular place for bikers. Like old guys with motorcycles who drink whisky and shoot pool. They do a bit of kareoke in there, they've got a few pool tables, a jukebox, and a tv or two so you can watch a game if one happens to be on. Drinks are ridiculously cheap...but don't go in thinking you're going to get Johnny Walker blue, or Don Julio. I believe Old Forrester was the top shelf, but hey...you order a Manhattan, and you drink it. It costs half of what it would anywhere else. Definitely a neighborhood place, with a neighborhood crowd. But the handful of times I've been here everyone was as cool as could be. Best beer in the house is Guinness, so don't get all snobby about your beer. This is the kind of place where you go in and fit in to what they're doing. Don't try to make them adapt to you. Its an experience. Go for it. A dive bar/biker bar in a seedy part of Bessemer. Get out there. Live the adventure. Meet some bikers. You'll be glad you did. Again, not 5 stars because they're a top of the line fancy place. I'm giving 5 stars because they're doing great at what it is they do.

This is the same process as Bamboo on 2nd -- same owners. No reservations, just have to get there and give them your phone number. Luckily there's several other good bars nearby you can wait at! I love the concept of drinks and dessert. And I love the name "Nightcap." Perfect. It seems like they source most, if not all, of the desserts from local bakers. I have a slice of the plain ol cheesecake from Sorelle's in Homewood and it was FANTASTIC. One of the best pieces of cheesecake I've ever had. The wine and cocktail menu is extensive. Prices are standard for a spot like this, $10-16 per drink. Our service was great. The decor inside is super fun. The wallpaper is incredible. I'll definitely be back.

We were here on a Saturday, and they had a DJ spinning the latin tunes. I totally would recommend here for a date on a weeknight. The booths are really nice and its a fancy, intimate vibe.
