This is a very unique place to say the least. This is the bar you go to after two other bars where…read moreyou don't want to go home just yet. I guess people go there after they are already drunk. They have a cover on Friday and Saturday nights, but it's still extremely crowded. It's pretty dead on weekdays, and that's exactly why I was willing to come inside here yesterday. They were actually well decorated for Halloween, and people were playing pool. Very hard to play on weekends tho. I've had a few drinks here. They are actually fairly decent. The Long Island ice tea is good! And I will close this review with saying there is all kinds of suspicious activity on the dance floor. You have been warned.

Nana Funks was the venue for an annual Do Dah Day event [maybe Do Dah Night or Do Dah Eve] for…read moreseveral years. It was the location where folks met, bought tickets for raffle prizes and various "give aways" that benefitted Birmingham/Jefferson County animal shelters, and drank and visited. These events were always fairly early in the evening like 6-9 PM so I cannot speak to the after-hours/early mornings at Nana's. It was a fine venue to have a drink and support Do Dah Day.

Look I don't want to get into how I ended up at this place. I was under duress and subjected to…read moresignificant coercion. I am too old to be doing shit like this. But there I was, so here is what it's like. This place breaks all 3 of my rules for bars. I've always said 1) no sticky floors, 2) no 50 gallon trash cans, and 3) no plastic cups. Well, it has all 3. So there's that. Security at the door searches everyone with a metal detecting wand. There's a cover. There's a mechanical bull. There's a stage with a gaggle of people doing indiscernible shit that appears to be some kind of musical performance but I literally am not sure. There is cigarette smoke in the air. There are people stumbling around attempting to socialize who I feel are unlikely to remember a lot of this tomorrow. The drinks are cheap and pretty bad, the crowd is at that stage of their lives where they are mystified by being out late at night in loud, dark, crowded places where seedy vibes are in the air. I'd be willing to bet you could score a variety of drugs in the place if that was your thing. The odds seemed pretty high just going off the vibes. Overall it was...an experience. Probably would not do it again, but you can if you want.

Known as the best nightclub in Birmingham, I went with high expectations; however, being from…read moreAtlanta and having five star nightclubs to go to, I was HIGHLY disappointed. This is NOT the place to go if you are looking for a swanky place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night. The club is dirty, and has absolutely no style to it. The VIP area is pathetic, and I left within a matter of minutes. 1120 attracts quite the crowd, a few girls had their dresses pulled up to show off their "assets." That was a sight I would have preferred not to have seen.

While visiting Birmingham (my hometown), I decided to give Crush a try. They were charging $18.00…read morefor cover! When I asked, I was told there were 5 bands that night. However, I walked in around 11:30 p.m. and waited...and waited...and waited...for a single band to perform. No one did...soundcheck after soundcheck and no performers. After an hour, I asked the security worker for a partial refund (at least?) if I left. He sent me to another person (promoter or manager) who rudely yelled that he had five bands to pay and there are no refunds (partial or otherwise). I heard not a single group and left with less than 18 dollars in my pocket. I'm no stranger to bars (having played in Birmingham area rock groups for many years) or "Crush" (having played there when it was Louie Louies) and I empathize slightly with the situation. But his behavior was rude and uncalled for. I suggest that if you visit "Crush," ask many questions about why you are paying so high a cover price AND ask when the performances begin.

I've previously only ever been to Saturn for concerts, but there is so much more that this venue…read moreoffers. From local coffee, video and board games galore, a full bar (with THC and NA options, bless!), and a live music room, Saturn guarantees a fun outing. You could easily come here and not spend any money- simply sit back with friends and a board game, and your night doesn't have to cost a dime! My boyfriend and I hung out here for the evening playing Scrabble while nursing on a Seltzer. This is truly one of Birmingham's best spots, period. The inside is so unique and thoughtfully decorated. Birmingham is lucky to have a spot like Saturn!

Saturn is a cool venue! I forget about it , unfortunately! I was recently here for a MOTH event and…read moreI had a nice time. There isn't any food but there is an extensive drink menu. Pricing is decent. The staff were cool but not overly friendly. I feel like there is so much nostalgia here! Board games and old school video games are available. I have added Saturn to my list of places to frequent more in 2025. I don't recommend the frozen drinks , they weren't good to.

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.
