    House beer! Rails and Ales!!!
    Tomica D.

    Let me just say that I love this place!!! The atmosphere is always good and the people are soooooo friendly!!! They have a great drink menu(which changes) and they have different food trucks that come out on Thursday, Friday and s. They have wifi and they are kid and pet friendly (must be accompanied by an adult if under 18) Wendsday night they have trivia and on Tuesday nights they have family feud. Friday,Saturday and Sunday you can expect to be serenaded by live music. You have a choice to sit inside at a table or at the bar or outside on the deck. This place is so worth giving a chance!

    Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere and super friendly. We brought our kids and hung out on the back patio on Taco Tuesday. I love the variety of trucks they bring in!

    Very diverse selection of brews!
    Levi J.

    Stopping in for a brief moment I had a flight of the beer selections I normally gravitate to. This brewery offers a variety of genre's from ales to stouts. Of the few I did try I must say that I'll have to come back and sample the others.

    Love this place! Only 10 mins from my house. They always have changing beers and great food trucks usually Thursday - Saturday. Can't get enough.

    Enjoyed another great meal at Foodbar tonight. Great food, thoughtfully prepared, and wonderful…read moreambiance. Always full of customers that (it appears from staff responses) are regulars. My guest tonight is a healthy eater, so the menu was perfect. Lots of farm to table options, vegetarian options, as well as fresh fish and other great proteins. We ended up having the seared tuna with soy pearls, yellow beets, feta and dates, and the spring salad with fried goat cheese, pistachios, apples and raspberries. Everything was fresh, well prepared and delicious. Service is always wonderful. Seating is limited so make reservations as early as possible. Bar seating available first come first served. There's a number of off-menu items so be sure to ask your server! My only complaint is that best tables are held for the "regulars;" so I guess it's time to become a regular at Foodbar.

    Great little upscale spot in Cahaba Heights. We came in on a Saturday night for dinner, no…read morereservation but they squeezed two of us in after a few minutes. The bar seating was 100% full. This is a spot with a heavy regular rotation. The people of Mountain Brook/Vestavia are here for dinner. It's a specific crowd. Service was great, the waitstaff is very friendly and on top of things. My dad ordered the "Magic City Manhattan" -- I'm not normally a dark liquor person, but I thought this was fantastic. I think it was the pecan liquor which made it so good. We split the muscles appetizer, which was great. The broth was so warm, garlicky, acidic, perfect. Love. And the bread that came with was great, too. If I'm being picky, the bread services' butter could've been more room-temp and easier to spread. But that's me being extremely picky. We ordered the lamb chop entree to split, too. Again, great. This is a fantastic spot if you're not looking to travel downtown for dinner. Easy menu, crowd pleasing. Definitely suited for an older crowd, which can be harder to find in the downtown spots.

    It was my first time going here. Meeting a colleague at the locale because it was on his way home…read moreto Leeds. It was a "Back to the Future" experience. As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

    I definitely needed to refresh my Marty's GM review. I'm back loving them again! This is easily…read moreone of my favorite spots to grab a drink , food and just be around a fun group of people. The atmosphere is chill unless a Bama football game is on! I really enjoyed watching the bama vs mizzou game here a few weeks ago. The staff is fun and personable. As of recently, the food menu has been updated. They now have ballpark nachos and they are outstanding. TRUST ME!!! Marty's GM has my heart again.
