I've never actually shopped here, but I live nearby. The man that works there scares me because…read moreI've seen him cuss out multiple people on the streets. Today I saw him hit a guy that he was arguing with until the guy fell to the side of the street. I'm tired of his aggressive behavior. It makes me feel unsafe in this area. The area has gotten worse since this store opened.

This store was extremely crowded to me making it difficult to really see the inventory. They have…read morepacked a lot in a small amount of space. The staff was nice and tried to be helpful but they couldn't find anything either. We eventually found what I was looking for. This was my first time coming here and it was a random visit. I will come here again even though the prices are slightly higher than other places in town.

Lenell's Beverage Boutique is a small, quaint shop tucked away in north Birmingham and it is…read moreexactly the kind of place I love stumbling into. Lenell herself is incredible to talk to. She is basically a librarian of beverages. Her knowledge runs deep and she genuinely knows the story, flavor profile, and use for just about every bottle in the shop. Conversations here feel natural and educational, not salesy. A quick heads up for anyone not from Alabama, the state government makes things messy when it comes to alcohol taxes and pricing. That is not on Lenell. She clearly does her best to keep prices reasonable, but the regulations and taxes make it challenging. Knowing that, the value is still there when you look at the quality and uniqueness of the selection. And the selection is what really stands out. It is curated, thoughtful, and downright impressive. I was able to pick up several bottles I have never seen before anywhere else. This is not a grab a bottle and leave type of store. This is a browse, ask questions, discover something new kind of place. If you enjoy unique spirits, interesting bottles, and talking to someone who truly knows their craft, Lenell's is absolutely worth the visit. I am really glad I stopped in and would not hesitate to come back next time I am in Birmingham.

Kind of feeling a little embarrassed that I hadn't stopped into this place until now. They've been…read moreopen for a while and I'd seen some reviews and a few articles but hadn't made it by to see for myself. Well now I have and I can tell you that it's amazing. The lady who owns the place has done a fantastic job at curating a remarkable selection of things that you're going to want to try. The vibes are cozy and the decor interesting. The price points span a good range so there's something for everyone. Definitely check out the wine specials. I picked up a dozen assorted bottles to fill up a wine rack that had gone empty, and I was able to do that for what turned out to be less than expected. Will definitely be returning once I need to do that again. Aside from the interesting selection of bottles and the friendly vibes, it's also cool to see new and quirky businesses popping up in areas that are undergoing a revitalization. You love to see it. Long story short this is a very cool spot that you should make it a point to visit. Take the wine lover in your life and let them marvel at the unique selection. Check out the wide array of gins in the bathtub up front. Spend some time browsing the shelves and you might find something you didn't expect to find. Great spot. Local owner. Cool vibes. Interesting selection of things that you might not see everywhere. Go there and check it out for yourself. You'll love it.

When we finally made it to the counter, we stood there for about five minutes before anyone acknowledged us--despite there being plenty of staff on hand. The person who ended up taking our order seemed either overwhelmed, new, or unsure of what they were doing, which made the service less than smooth. That said, they do have a solid selection of beers. Unfortunately, out of the four stouts I tried in my flight, three completely missed the mark, and the one I did enjoy was just okay. To be fair, it was a busy event, so I don't want to hold that entirely against them. I'd definitely consider coming back on a regular day to see how the experience compares when things are a bit calmer.

So this review is comparing to other locations. This would have to totally qualify as a whole in…read morethe wall liquor store. Too bad they don't follow the stereotypical restaurant hole in the wall that is a well kept secret. Very small store front that if you blink you will miss it. Parking lot isn't the best. The whole place just kind of has the in-kept feel and is in desperate need of some updating. As far as selection goes, they aren't too bad. But since they are pretty small it isn't uncommon to find them out of what you are looking for. Staff is there. They don't go out of their way to see if you need help like some of the other locations. I guess if I'm in the area looking for something I would check them out, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this location.

Who would've thought the semi-clad Vulcan oversees a stronghold of Eastern Orthodoxy?…read more Mediterranean-food lovers and xenophiles alike rejoice each fall, with this event coming right on the heels of Birmingham's Greek Food Festival. Baked chicken, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and zalabieh are just some of the highlights, but don't forget the baklawa or, more deliciously, the date-filled m-a-m-o-u-l...! My favorite plate is the Nile, featuring kibbee, spinach pie, grape leaves, rice, spicy green beans, Arabic salad, and humos. And you can order MORE as sides! Beware...they sell out of zalabieh early every year. A narrated church tour elucidates a liturgy blending the essence of Jerusalem, Damascus, and Antioch, and you can pick up a censer at the market to take the "atmosphere" home with you. Highly recommended, family-friendly event, with food to die, or kill, for. You'll rock on Friday and Saturday night to Amin Sultan's crazy beat, or something's wrong with you! I'm still giving them four stars, even though I miss the stuffed squash! From their website menu, for those not in the know: KIBBEE: Finely ground very lean beef, mixed with cracked wheat, onions, pine nuts, spices, brushed with butter and baked to perfection. ROLLED GRAPE LEAVES: Ground chuck mixed with rice and spices, rolled in grape leaves and cooked in a water & lemon juice mixture until tender. BAKED CHICKEN: Half chickens marinated in lemon juice and butter, seasoned with a blend of spices, oregano, and baked to a moist golden brown. SPINACH PIE: Spinach, onions, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices wrapped in fresh yeast dough in the shape of a triangle and baked. MEAT PIE: Browned ground beef, onions, spices and cream cheese mixed an wrapped in fresh yeast dough in the shape of a triangle and baked. FALAFEL: Ground chick peas, onions, spices, parsley and cumin rolled into a ball and deep fried. GREEN BEANS: Italian beans simmered with crushed tomatoes, butter, spices, onions and garlic. ZALABIEH: Yeast dough made with a blend of anise, mahalab and sugar, deep fried, dipped piping hot into a special syrup and topped with powdered sugar. Simply delicious! Mine Fave Entree (and I always "request"): THE NILE $16.00 ONE HALF POUND BAKED KIBBEE, SPINACH PIE, 3 ROLLED GRAPE LEAVES, RICE, GREEN BEANS, ARABIC SALAD, AND BREAD. (HUMOS ON REQUEST)
