He is a creative genius and the backbone of this establishment! Their Jell-O shots also have pop rocks which add a joyful nostalgia. Place is cute. It has a wig bar and dance floor they refer to as the dollhouse. Fun vibe all around, one of Birmingham's underrated bars for sure!

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.

It's a gas sitting and discussing their approach to the cocktails they create. I mean...I live in Denver and fly to AL in large part to visit these guys! They've got a young man who's providing sushi appetizers at a very reasonable price, that are like little piece of magic! I hate it that I can't remember his name...but if you go at the right time and get to meet him, I bet you'll remember!

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.

The schtick here is that the bartenders will "surprise you" with a cocktail. You tell them your liquor of choice, fruity/floral, sweet/not, etc. and they craft something unique for you. It's cool. The service here is always super friendly. The bathrooms are clean. They have board games and card games out that you can play with friends. It's grown up fun.

They use nitro cold brew and it is a little sweeter with less foam on top. Still good and didn't taste like alcohol (dangerous)! My husband's drink was tasty too! Very unique! All the cocktails are hand crafted and I love the unique touch to each drink! Highly recommend coming to this bar! They have one TV which was good to watch March madness! But a casual bar that isn't too crazy to have a "date night".

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

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!

Outside is a vibe with trees and lights, a stage for outdoor music, and a food truck serving up delicious tendies and fries.

We had the seasonal frozen peach ring drink, which was scrumptious and perfect for the hot weather. Bar service was pretty quick, the food truck was quick, too. Everyone was a good vibe. Lots of people hanging out post-work on this Thursday evening. Street parking.

Easily one of the best margaritas in Birmingham with a ton of flavor options to choose from. The standout is the happy hour with unbeatable prices that make it hard not to come back.
