My dinner was absolutely delicious and the ambience was amazing. I ordered the wedge salad with steak. The steak was cooked to my satisfaction. Tender and favorably. 10 out 10 for me. I ordered the Paloma drink .. again to my satisfaction. Everyone was so nice from the wait staff, to owner. And almost forgot to mention the DJ spinning the tones we all knew. If you're ever looking for a new spot recommend you check them out. read more

First time visiting here with a group of friends. Very classy and elegant upscale cocktail bar. It is dimly lit, but there are windows all around that allow natural sunlight in. Service was good and we did get a chance to meet the owner, Trice. Everyone was pleasant. Our cocktails were fabulous. Trice had explained that the syrups he uses are made in house with the freshest ingredients. We ordered a few apps to go with our drinks. Again, very fresh and light. We absolutely loved the baked pita that came with the warm pimento cheese dip. We didn't taste much of the pimento, but still delicious... I mean who doesn't love melted cheese dip Very pleasant first time experience. Not a huge menu for food, but perfect for apps and cocktails with friends. read more

Beautiful cozy spot. The atmosphere was casual upscale. The staff was very attentive. I enjoyed the food. I thought the hummus was tasty with the soft pita and even the veggies. My drink was tasty, it was their version of a lemon drop. My friend got the whiskey sour and she was upset at the size... it was pretty tiny. My entrees was very delicious but it came out lukewarm. Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there. This spot has an extremely limited food menu, so it's not a place I'd frequent but it's definitely worth a future return! read more

Me and a friend agreed to meet up here for Sunday brunch. Upon arrival , we were seated in the front dining space near the bar (at a little table) lol Our server was pleasant and was pretty prompt in taking our drink and food orders. Their brunch menu isn't huge but highlights those main dishes most people enjoy for brunch. I ordered the chicken and waffle. My friend ordered shrimp and grits. We both were starving so we were excited when the food came out as quickly as it did. Me and my friend both enjoyed our selections. I would request no cinnamon on the waffle next time ... it was a bit too potent. Everything else was fine. Of course brunch isn't complete w/o a few mimosas! The bartender was amazing and friendly to chat with. Our first visit to Sticks N Stones was fun and checked all the boxes. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Went to Sticks-N-Stones Cocktail Bar for Galentine's with my girls and it was such a vibe. Very grown and sexy atmosphere. They were hosting singles night and gave out roses and champagne which was a super cute touch. I had the steak frites special and it melted in my mouth. Soooooo sooooo good....clearly... empty plate They got bonus points from me for the bathroom being stocked with women's essentials and toothpicks. The details matter. I will for sure be back!!! read more

We decided to stop into Sticks and Stones before doing some Duck Bowling at Tap Ins. This is a perfect date night combination especially since they are right next door to each other. You can grab dinner at Sticks N Stones then enjoy an activity at Tap Ins. Sticks and Stones offers shareables as well as entrees. The shareables include chicken wings, a hummus plate and a charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was a little pricey. Entrees include the Short Ribs and a burger. The $25 burger was a little high for my tastes, but I have not tried it. The cocktail prices were not bad, and we were very impressed with the bar tender. She was very knowledgeable about the drinks. I appreciated that she went out of her way to make a Penicillin Mocktail for me. It was super delicious especially with the spiced simple syrup that they make in house. They had a nice music selection. I loved the disco music that was played. read more

We discovered this unspoken, timeless spot called Sticks and Stones. Our usual place was closed for Thanksgiving weekend, so I used Yelp to find nearby options. One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish. We finished with an espresso Martini and some great Calamari. This has become our new FAVORITE. Must try!!! read more

Had a wonderful lunch with friends. We have had the restaurant on our list to try for a while and are glad they are now open for lunch. Our server/bartender was great. I ordered a lemon drop and the Knox Square chicken sandwich w fries. The chicken sandwich is a popular pick and I can see why. It's delicious. The fries were good but could have been more hot when served (I ate them all). Nice environment to eat, chill and mingle. My friends enjoyed their meals too (wedge salad w chicken and steak frites). Will I return? Definitely read more

Came here for drinks and to celebrate Galentine's Day with my best friends and you can't get a better upscale bar and restaurant right in the heart of Hoover. The vibes were vibing. Great music played all night. We were treated to a rose and champagne for the evening which was nice. I had the special for the night: Steak Frites and the steak was cooked medium and was so tender. It was absolutely delicious. My friend had the burger and she said it was good as well. I definitely plan to come back and try more food options. Trice the owner was very personable and checked in on us throughout our visit and told us about their brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. I definitely plan to try that out as well. Highly recommend read more

Order the Ginny Hendrix! This place is new and fresh. Very tastefully decorated. We'd been planning to go for over a week. The day of our visit, we found out they had a special event that day and was closing at 6 (it had been announced. I just missed it). We arrived shortly after 4pm, then greeted and seated quickly. The server informed us of the early closure, kindly. Nothing felt rushed. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food was good. My friend highly recommends the salmon dish and the wings were described as very well seasoned. I had the hummus/pita and I would order it again. The drinks were fabulous. read more

My friend and I decided to check out this new bar on a Saturday evening. It is located in this subdivision near the Hoover met. It only has been opened for 2 months however this place was jumping. We got seats at the bar. Dianna was our bartender and she was very attentive. The owners were there and they were so nice. I started off with the Knox margarita followed by the lemon drop martini. Both were delicious. The hummus was very yummy as well. I will definitely be going back. The DJ was playing some great music as well. It was a little warm in there so I suggest wearing something light. read more

I've been to Sticks and Stones twice since their opening - such a fun location (elegant vibe, lighting reminds me of the 20s). Paloma - best I've had. Anywhere. Margarita- just ok, waaaaay too much ice. Pear & Proper - such a good fall drink!! Catch one before the season changes!! read more

A cool bar with great vibes in Hoover that's literally minutes from my house--count me in! My husband and I wanted to have a date night so we decided to come to this new spot. We arrived around 7 o'clock ish and it was packed in there, which we like to see for a new business. The owner was helping out with host duties and he was so pleasant and helpful. We were able to get seats at the bar after a wait of about 15 minutes. We immediately tried some of their signature drinks. We also tried some of the bar food and it was very flavorful. The bartender that helped us out was phenomenal. We ordered another round of drinks before departing. We definitely can see ourselves coming here on a regular basis. Hoover, you would be out of your mind not to try this new spot! read more

The drinks were amazing! There's nothing like going to a restaurant where they actually know how to mix a proper cocktail. I had the original margarita -- simple, but mixed to perfection. Not too sweet or syrupy, just the right blend. The ambience was also a highlight, with a cool, modern vibe that made the setting feel really inviting. And then of course, the food -- the pan-seared salmon with dill sauce, Rosetta pasta, and asparagus was cooked to perfection. You'd expect typical bar food, but this felt more like a chef-driven, high-end dish. The flavors and presentation definitely exceeded expectations. read more

Our party of 14 stopped by Sticks N Stones after the comedy show for drinks and a quick bite. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted by the owner who graciously figured out how to accommodate our large party at like 9:30pm (ps if you have a large party coming in late, just call and give them a heads up- they would really appreciate that... don't be like us) The vibe was amazing! It could be for date night, guys/girls night out, or couples night out like we did. The food was delicious !! I had the salmon special and it was perfection. Salmon is often hit or miss at most restaurants but Sticks N Stones knocked it out of the park! The drinks were wonderful as well! Service was great! Our server did a great job getting us served as quickly as possible! This place is 10/10! Go check it out! read more
