    So much has changed since my last visit here. Whew it's been a minute. They are now serving food. I…read morewasn't too blown away with their food menu. They were out of many beers. I ordered their IPA but was brought out something else. This was quickly resolved. I enjoyed the IPA. There was a private party in the upstairs portion. This seems like a decent spot to have a small gathering. By adding food to the menu this is indeed a PLUS. Staff was cool. My server was new.

Walked in around 8:30pm last night, it was packed and everyone looked like they were having a great time! Apparently Monday nights are Bingo nights and, of course, we joined in on the fun. Everyone was super friendly and playing Bingo was pretty exciting actually lol. Besides the wide variety of beers available, they also have a menu with a good selection of food items that are reasonably priced. Surprisingly, the place is family friendly and kids would definitely love their root beer. I saw an adorable little girl going around helping people by collecting used Bingo sheets. She deserved a tip, haha. Oak Mountain Brewing Company is pretty spacious and would work well for events or work functions. I was too busy playing Bingo last night to check out their upstairs spacing, but it seems like a good area for private parties or just for people watching. I will have to check it out next time!

Back Forty is huge-with plenty of seating to accommodate large crowds, couples or even families with little ones. There's plenty of big screens to watch the games on, and I would really love to come back during football season to do just that. I ordered their infamous Back 40 cheeseburger on this visit. While it wasn't my favorite, for a brewery it was definitely above average. It was juicy, made to order and fresh. I didn't care for the sauce nor the stringy onions so I would order it plain next time or try something else on the menu. The shoestring fries were well seasoned with something like garlic parmesan. They were my delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful as we placed our orders. This is a cool spot to hang with your friends, drink, eat and watch some sports or watch the trains go by. I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to coming back.

    Love Back Forty, along with the rest of Birmingham. There's always so much going on here,…read moreespecially when the weather is good. Tons of kids and dogs outside. People often host their own little parties and events at the picnic tables here. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it seemed like a lot of families came for lunch and to hang out after church. The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.

Thankfully a bit of a rain storm had moved through and cooked things off a bit. My husband enjoyed his beer abs my Paloma was good! Overall it was a great experience and a good place to hang out and have a cold beverage

    Brewery #429 I have…read morebeen to over 30 breweries in the state of Alabama, and Cahaba is my favorite. It has everything you want in a brewery; really good beer, solid food menu, fun vibe and lots to do. The beer: The most important part. I was surprised their beer was as good as it was because their signature is a basic blonde ale. Cahaba has beers that are anything but basic. I got a flight with an African Saison, a Southern Feistbeer, River Haze (hazy IPA) and a blood orange blonde. Everything was delicious. The space is large with lots of picnic tables inside a climate-controlled warehouse, a bunch of video games, pinball machines and skeeball. They distill their own spirits as well and had a cocktail menu featuring those spirits. The full-time food truck outside had a solid looking menu. Sadly, I had eaten before I came because their smashburger and wings looked amazing at the table next to me.

    Brewery #430 I…read morestopped in here with a buddy to get a few beers and grab a bite to eat. Neighbor's is located in an outdoor mall/entertainment complex that seemed really nice. The outdoor area by Neighbors had tons of activities and TV's for large groups. The indoor area seemed like a mini food court with an arcade. There was a pizza place, a bbq joint and a bar. They all kind of seem connected but you had to pay separately at each place. I had my buddy order me a Screen Test Pizza which is a garlic puree cream sauce as a base with smoked chicken, roasted tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. I normally don't like white sauce pizzas, but I had to pee and just picked something since my buddy was paying. My little faux pas turned out to be a great decision. The pizza was great. The beer was decent; the Belgian triple was my favorite of the 2, with the double IPA being the other one. They didn't have a big selection and they didn't have flights. Cool spot to watch a game or to bring the kiddos to run around while the adults have a few cold ones.

    I came here on Sunday Funday to grab some pizza. I ordered the pepperoni pie & added mushrooms )$15…read moreplus with tax). The pizza had way more mushrooms than pepperoni. This was kinda disappointing even though I really love mushrooms. I also wish they had put more pizza sauce on the crust. Sooooo , this pizza was just okay. The ratio was just off on all the ingredients. The staff were all friendly as well as helpful. I was happy to learn of their $ 5 mimosa Sunday special (all day). This will definitely bring me back out , even if I don't order any pizza. The environment here is casual and spacious. Great for large groups!
