After a family birthday dinner at Bamboo, my son suggested Pogo for after dinner drinks. It was a…read moreshort walk away, so we all decided to go. This is a speakeasy type set up. You go through the Armour House restaurant and down the stairs to get there. When we arrived there, there was a line out the door. We had a party of six, so we put our name down for one of the booths. It took awhile to be seated, but once we were. It was totally worth it. The booths were large and private and easily sat six people. My favorite drink was the Banana Mai Tai mocktail.

I'm a bit torn because I felt this place was great but my fellow revelers (aka my husband and…read moreinlaws) felt the service was off. For my part, I thought the cocktail I had was fantastic. My husband and FIL liked theirs too. My MIL felt there was barely any alcohol in hers but I cannot confirm. We did have a hiccup with the bill being completely wrong (and we were overcharged twice) but it was all settled. There were not very many people at the bar for a Friday night. But perhaps it's a more late(r) night place. We are all geriatric in our party (sort of). I didn't mind and it seemed to be picking up when we were leaving. Overall decent, but maybe I miss Pale Eddie's just a bit.

Sloan's Bourbon Bar never misses. The night I went, they were hosting a WhistlePig tasting, and it…read morewas such a great experience. I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour. If you love bourbon and want a polished, elevated experience in Birmingham, Sloan's is the place

A couple I met invited me here for one of their birthday events a little over a year or year and a…read morehalf ago and I had a great time (even came back two more times). The Chandelier Lounge is a super cute karaoke lounge that I feel is welcoming to both young adults and more mature adults. There is limited seating, however, you can always get a section if available. Thankfully I haven't had an issue with seating or comfort for either visit, but this was the main complaint you'd hear from people waiting or standing around. There's only so much a business can do about this. Wings were pretty good (took a while), service was friendly/smiling, bathrooms were clean, space flowed. I'd recommend the chandelier lounge to others rather you're singing on the mic, in the crowd, enjoying a drink or food, or grabbing a hookah.

Pool tables, booths, music, and lots of people. I hope that Billy's opening back up helps Lakeview become fun again. The last few years with Moe's being closed and multiple incidents at Innisfree, my friends and I have been avoiding the Lakeview strip, but it truly is one of the only blocks in Birmingham where you can bar-hop around. Music: when we arrived, they were playing 'Lavender Haze,' track 1 off of Taylor Swift's Midnights album. They then proceeded to play tracks 2 through 6, in order. This was the most effective way to win me over. I'll be back! Probably way more than I should be! P.S. I believe last call was around midnight last night. Unsure what the usual hours are going to be, but they were busy!

Mature crowds are more my speed so Faces Lounge naturally attracted me a couple of years ago. I'm so happy I went a few times to enjoy live music (I've also been when live music was not an option), drinks, food and all around good vibes. Location is not hard to find, parking is easy, bathrooms are clean, service can be slow at times but they are always friendly. Great space for a group, meeting a couple of people or going alone. I recall the owners being husband/wife. Very sweet and you can tell they love what they do.

They had a band that started about 7:30. The lead singer came to every table and casually greeted every person individually before showtime. This place is roomy with a back patio and a backroom cigar room separate from the club. The band had players that I recognized from city jazz festivals and other venues. They had three different lead male singers, all with great voices. They did have ladies free until 6. Men paid $10 starting at door opening. Moss Stoval djed after the band and came out smoking
