A buddy of mine and i were in town and supposed to go to the Birmingham Barons game but I messed up…read morethe time and we would have been an hour late, so we skipped it. We decided to find a place in the area that had live music and Tin Roof came up. We walked in and the place had a decent crowd but not busy. I walked up to the bar and saw they only had domestic beer on tap so asked if they had any N/A options for my buddy and if they had any IPA's for me. The unwarranted shitty attitude of the bartender was as if I asked him to make me a long island iced tea with a line of 30 people at the bar. It was just me and I simply wanted him to give me a can of beer. He gave a snide remark about it being a bar when I asked about the N/A options and just gave me an IPA in a can from Good People brewing. I guess that's the only one they had, or he just decided it's what I was getting. The beer was good, but I wanted to see my options. We sat in the courtyard and listened to the 1-man band, aka a guy with a guitar. He played a variety of stuff and was decent. The courtyard was a decent place to chill. I went back to get another beer and asked if they had any different IPA's, I got an eye roll and a nope. I decided to bounce. I didn't want to hang out with Captain Douchepickle the bartender anymore. The place was fine, and if the dipshit isn't working, I am sure it would be better.

Absolutely blown away! I was taken here for a work outing…read moreand, honestly, as someone who's pretty simple with food and doesn't eat fancy food often, I didn't have high expectations when I looked at the menu beforehand. I was horribly mistaken. Everything I tried was absolutely incredible. For appetizers, I tried the BBQ miso chicken, seeded yeast rolls, and burrata. The BBQ miso chicken was tender thigh meat served on a skewer and topped with peanuts (so definitely something to be aware of if you have an allergy). It also came with a few spicy pickles that were delicious. The seeded yeast rolls were perfectly baked; light, airy, and served with cane syrup whipped butter. That butter was out of this world phenomenal. I could have eaten it by itself! For dinner, I had the sweet corn ravioli. It came in a large bowl with A LOT of rich, creamy sauce. There was so much sauce that I actually asked for a spoon and basically ate it like soup. Not a complaint whatsoever because it was absolutely delicious. The only letdown for me was dessert. I was really looking forward to an authentic Southern banana pudding, but there was an unexpected peanut flavor, not what I was expecting at all. I was hoping for more of that classic banana-and-vanilla flavor. The ambiance was also really cool-dark, moody, and almost gave me an Alice in Wonderland kind of feel. Our server was 10/10, and the manager stopped by several times to check on us. They were also incredibly accommodating to a coworker with food allergies, which I really appreciated. Overall, this place completely exceeded my expectations. I went in thinking I probably wouldn't find much I liked and left genuinely impressed. Definitely a memorable meal!

The decor is swanky and it makes you feel like you've feel like you're walking through an art museum. It's definitely instagram worthy backdrop. Especially if you go outside. It was July in Alabama so we opted for indoor window seating in the bar area to enjoy the views. There were only two other parties in the restaurant, so we literally had the place to ourselves. The bartender was our server and he was excellent. We attempted to order the oysters (6) as an appetizer, but they were out. We ordered the Pickled Shrimp and Bbq Miso chicken instead. Both were delicious. The shrimp was fresh and cold. The chicken was unique as it had peanuts with the sauce. I had the crispy flounder sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the Panzanella salad with shrimp. The fish was hot and crispy and well seasoned. The fries were delicious, too...thick but not steak cut. I wasn't supposed tot have them, but hey it was Friday eve...that was close enough to the weekend! I'll be back to try the rest of the lunch and dinner menu soon!

Party of 5…read more Restaurant was almost empty when we arrived at 5:30 on a Friday, seemed to pick up when we were leaving around 6:45. Ordered the artichokes and the chipotle shrimp flatbread for the table... artichokes were very leomony and the chipotle flatbread was sweet instead of spicy. The red sangria wasn't special. Perhaps from a bottle but the other drinks were good. The artichoke and chicken soup wasn't special but was 'thin' - mostly clear broth. Everyone's meal was good - rainbow trout, shrimp and grits, halibut special and the 8oz filet... but something is always missing. Maybe it's as simple as needing salt. It was a fine meal - but at $50/person, it wasn't worth the price. Likely won't be back.

They had one bartender, who was doing is best but the people of this city are extremely entitled. They were slapping tables and trying to rush him while he was making drinks. Wait your turn folks!

The smell was disgusting, they clearly aren't taking a wipe to these chairs every once in awhile. The seats are as comfortable or lush as other theatres, and it was hot.

In all honesty the credit for that goes to our hosts who were most gracious to have us come and celebrate their daughter's nuptials. Onto the review. The buffet was good.

Essentially, it's a mediocre (or worse) restaurant with a bar that tends to have below average service. Sure the view is nice, but Birmingham is a town full of great restaurants, and there are rooftop bars with great views too. The Club was once a fun "throwback" that evoked it's yesteryear roots. It's now just a bad restaurant with all the charm of an airport hotel. I'll leave the detailed food reviews to the many others that left them. I'll also direct you to the review left by Bebo F. on Oct 16, 2025. What is described there is common sentiment by those that make the mistake of holding a private event here. Bebo was kind enough to post a photo of manager Brian Green. Believe every word of it. Poor management, starting at the top, trickles down and infects those below him. In summary, if you're in town and can get in (must be with a member), just skip this place and go to one of our many top-notch restaurants. And if you're looking for a private party venue, don't even think about it.

If there is a restaurant that is a Birmingham institution among the wealthier crowd, there is…read moreliterally only one name that locals would bring up, and it is undoubtedly Highlands. Not that there aren't other nice restaurants, but this spot has proven itself over time and is ran by a chef that most Alabamians are quite proud of. Opened in 1982, Highland's is a place that put Birmingham on the map in a positive way at a time when the post industrial iron period was about to wind down and transform the city. Frank formalized his cooking techniques by working in kitchens of San Francisco and France, creating a medley of American Southern and French cuisine that is difficult to find elsewhere. It was not a time when it was common to see a chef from Alabama going to study cooking in Europe, thus the story was already an anomaly. Frank Stitt was trying to pioneer sustainable agriculture and farming well before anybody in Alabama knew what in the world that actually meant or for that matter, cared. One of the signature items is the baked grits that has been around since the restaurant opened. It's a tasty grits preparation and without a doubt, something to try. The pheasant was spectacular, fairly lean and with a crispy delicious skin, served with grits and green beans. Pastries here are created by Dolester Miles, who has been in the job for well over 30 years. The opera cake is absolutely spectacular, gentle and complexly layered. The basque cake is peachy and moist, with a crispy delicious exterior and Chantilly cream. Not only are these likely the best desserts to discover in Alabama, but may be some of the best to be found in America. The attentiveness got derail was clearly evident. As far as service, generally fine, but not particularly attentive. The waitress did not seem in much of a mood to welcome people to the establishment. Many items on the menu were running out by 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Nobody was particularly impressed with the flounder that got substituted for the grouper. And then there are other questions, why would you run out of grits? They know they are always filled to capacity and ingredients to make grits are not immediately perishable. Highland's has by this point in Birmingham's history become a classic. It's evident that most people here have been around for decades working at their jobs and serving the rich crowds of Mountain Brook. It's a place of great food and shows many combinations of ingredients that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere, let alone be executed this well.
