Our only issues were rounding the block a few times for find parking and 18% gratuity being included with the bill.

And something I learned about while imbibing on the bar, Good People's has been hugely successful and has acquired a few other breweries in the local area...which means some are available on tap. One of my favorite brew is the IPA and it's available at local establishments and at COSTCO too! Needless to say, I picked up two cases to take home with me to imbibe on my favorite IPA!

The parade didn't have many participants this year but I can't speak for in the past.. The JO band was the highlight of the parade for me.

This bar is located in the Birmingham Club establishment so it is membership and guest only…read more This bar is very relaxing. It is also graced with a wonderful view of the Birmingham city. They have a well-stocked bar and a selection of seasonal cocktails. They are however limited in their craft beer selection. They only have 5 taps and unfortunately the beer selection is not all craft. There is a nice seating area with plush comfy chairs around a fireplace. Two large screen TVs are mounted on each side of the fireplace make this an excellent spot for viewing sporting events. In some corners you can even find an intimate spot. They have a bar menu consisting of dollar oysters including your choice of Blue Pointe and James River. They also make flatbreads. You can also order off of the menu of the adjoining restaurant the Signature. When it is warmer you can also sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view or the sunset and take advantage of their happy hour specials.

I come here usually when some big sports game is on, and they have some good TVs around for watching with friends. They have draft beers, high noons, well cocktails, nothing particularly special in terms of drink or food, just bar food. Service is relatively quick and you order up at the bar, no table service. I must confess, this is not my favorite spot in town. The one time I've been here later at night, security was eerily tight for suburban Homewood. Like they searched my purse and had security inside. Eerie, indeed. Bathrooms can get kinda gross, wet floors. This space has so much potential for hosting larger events! It's huge when you open it up to the back, which they rarely do. Would love to see it reinvented.

My…read morefriends and I came on Saturday during the day to watch college football, which they show on the big screen behind the stage. We sat in the new, upper "VIP" section! They had some barstools, but for the most part Avondale is BYO chair. I brought a towel to sit on. The upper deck was nice because it was shady on a hot day. Then, you're only one flight of stairs away from the bar right below. Avondale makes great beers. I had a Sour Pash, one of my favs, and a couple cans of Porch Light, made by Cahaba Brewing's company. In addition to great beers and drinks, I was hungry for some food. The nearly always have 1-3 food trucks parked right on the lawn, and they offer Miracle Pizza now! I ordered from a QR code inside, and Miracle brought the pizza over from right next door. It was delicious, too! They make a great pizza. It was fairly empty when we got here at 11:30, but by 3:30 it was buzzing with SEC fans of all teams. This is a great spot to watch Saturday football, especially as the weather cools off. Oh, and did I mention? Dog friendly :)
