I have been wanting to visit this place for a while as I have been looking for a "dive" bar close to my apartment. I finally have been able to visit it recently and this place is super clean and the staff is so friendly. This place is now my favorite bar to go to when I just want a beer and to catch up with some buddies as I can expect great service and a clean place to hangout, relax, and watch whatever sport is on. read more

Took a shot on this bar and happy we did. Awesome service and the atmosphere is chill, fun and relaxing. We decided to order some food from the restaurant a couple doors down while we enjoyed our delicious cocktails! Our lovely bartender was so awesome and she even gave us glass plates and some silverware to use so we didn't have to eat out of the styrofoam containers!! We love bars that we can bring outside food in to while we get our drink on and this bar is in a perfect location to take advantage of the 3 restaurants within walking distance!! This bar is so welcoming and the bartender had a lot to do with that so a huge "Thank You" to Edwina!! We will be back! read more

Greg and team are really Rocking at this location!! Next to Chuck's a great place for after dinner to relax. On Fridays the Karaoke is packed and fun with a professional man running it, Saturday live music sometimes full bands. Edwin ma is spectacular with energy and customer service. The Bar is beautiful with full wood and plenty of seating both. Ar and lounge area!! A must for folks who enjoy a good time in a classy place!! read more

It is super nice. Good atmosphere. The service is good, location is great, prices are reasonable. This place has changed owners so many times with different names and I think it is finally a good stick and business plan. There is a long bar, several tall bistro/bar tables, a few nice sized booths, a couple small tables, and some cozy leather modern couches by the FIRE PLACE. So cute. They have a small stage and every time I have been the band has been pretty good. They play covers, but they are at least good at covering them. The only complaint I have is the bathroom situation. Only a one person Men's room and Only ONE person Women's room. So terrible when there are like 100 people drinking! Most of the men go out back to relieve themselves and let the women use the men's room but the whole night there is always a line. I don't know if this can be fixed but I think it would be a good business investment. The wine list is not bad and they have high gravity beers so that's cool. I think I had Delirium and something else. It was good. My friends and I have fun here. It is a bring your own crown kinda place. The age group is mixed. I would say 25-65. read more

The Grill at Grey Bar - My friends and I in a fabulous booth at Grey Bar - Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

A last minute trip to Birmingham to see my buddy led us to the Grey Bar. $5 cover to get in b/c of a live band. We were meeting some other friends and were just there for drinks, no food. Actually, I was a little tipsy, so I'm not even sure if they have food there. It seems like a fun enough spot to met friends, just make sure to bring extra cash if you plan on staying long. Our 3 Bud Light bottles and one shot of Fireball cost $17 and some change each time. For those four things, that's really pricey to me. read more

Called for a carryout. It was ready by the time I arrived. Food was reasonably priced and tasted great. Good menu to select from. We are in this area a few times a year for dog shows and this is on our "go to" list. read more

This is one of my favorite places for after work drinks and appetizers! Friendly service..... The food is phenomenal. All food is prepared using fresh ingredients! No prepackaged cookie cutter apps for this place! read more

The Grill at Grey Bar - Nachos!! Delicious!! - Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

The theme song to "Cheers" comes to mind when I think of Grey Bar... the owner, Greg, really will remember your name and your drink and the atmosphere is laid back and friendly. They have made some recent updates such as adding a pool table and a few games that make the sports-bar atmosphere even more enjoyable. read more

Had a living social deal so we tried it out. Service was attentive and personable. Evening was perfect temp and low humidity we sat outside, but noticed periodic earrings of sewage? Something unpleasant... I had grilled romaine with an addition of oysters ($10. For 6 fried oysters--) a bit pricey to me, but taste and presentation were solid My co-diner had the Oyster po boy with fries -- what can I say I guess we were both in the mood for delicious bivalves! Po boy had grilled tomatoes, which we both agreed was a nice touch, and arugula, also different but nice twist, bun/roll was adequate. The fries were delicious and hot, also came with ramekins of ketchup and tartar sauce. We had the cheapie Wednesday well drinks, $2.50@ which were what you would expect. My review is actually 3.5 stars but rounded up since app won't go 1/2 stars and I really think that The Grill at Grey Bar is making an effort and has potential. We will try it again. read more

If you find yourself down 280, this is your place. It's locally owned and not too high brow. It contains a plethora of indoor seating along with tables on the front patio, but that is just the beginning. If you go by during happy hour, be ready to enjoy good conversation. If you're lucky, you'll catch a bartender named Greg. You can talk to this guy for hours and enjoy every minute. The entire staff is friendly and quick to serve, even on a busy saturday like this past. They had their annual crawfish boil and it was packed to the gills. I don't make it down that way often, but this is my place when I do. read more

No issues of concern: clean, great service (attentive and competent bartenders), fun (live music), unique (statues & candles), comfortable (couches and spacious [indoor/outdoor]), cool crowd (local, mixed ages, worldly, friendly)...just good place to enjoy yourself w/ friends. read more

In from Fairhope, on business trip, found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The music is really good. Really good. It's a darkly lit bar. Only four people in here in this Thursday night at 7:35 pm. I think the photo I am posting of the candle fireplace sums up the atmosphere. Downside is the furniture is not very comfortable. Bring in a few sink-in chairs and couches and I would stay twice as long. read more

Great drinks and the bartenders Jeff and Morgan are always incredible. Definitely would recommend coming by for a nice friendly environment!

This bar has a great location right next to Chuck's Fish. The bartender was very friendly and the drinks were extremely cheap. Great place to bring a date for a drink after eating at Chuck's. read more

Fun place! Sophisticated and upscale but in a good way ! Live music and can get packed on the weekends. Might wanna dress to impress-Lots of lookers in this crowd! Great place to mingle or take a date. Kelly Jo, Scarlett, and the rest of the staff will take good care of you! read more

The grill closes at 8 pm and not 2 am. The advertising is a little misleading. Only the bar is open until 2 am.

I like to stop by Grey Bar after work for a quick drink. Just after 5 it's not very busy, just a few locals. I like that in a bar. I hear it gets busy later. I'm a Bud & Beam guy and it suits me just fine. read more

Nice little bar, friendly bartenders and a lot of different options behind the bar. The hours seem a little bit goofy, but I suppose that's to be expected. read more

MEhhh, this place is ok. The crowd can be weird. Sometimes it's young people. Other times they are old (er), like 45+. I would give it more stars if I could figure out what night is what age group. Plus, the bar is layed out weird. Half the tables are on one side, and theyn the other half has some sporatic tables and then the fire place. There's just a ton of open space in one area and non in others. I bring this up becuase everytime I walk in I feel like the entire room is staring at me. read more

Excellent food two dollar beers great night. Small menu but probably the best cheeseburger you put in your mouth. My fiancée had steak had a bite and had to go home slap your mamma it was so good. Great place comfortable seating and great environment. read more

Great experience...the bartender was helpful and friendly. Drinks were very nice, slightly pricey but worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

This bar suits everyone. During game days, every game is on. If you're into live music and dancing...they've got you covered multiple nights every week. Want to enjoy your company in a more intimate setting? You can do that too. Locally owned by a couple of amazing people who have events that give to great causes. Heather, Kelly Jo, and Brittney go above and beyond to make everybody's night. This place quickly becomes your "go to" bar. They don't offer enough stars to express how great this place is. read more

Best chicken fingers anywhere! Great atmosphere. Charitable owners who donate to local non-profits. Love the small town bar feel.

Went there with food only in mind. Friday 4-5 PM Very quiet. Good service from bar tender to a table. Pizza was excellent. Prime rib sandwich was ok but my standards for prime rib are high, it is called "Prime" right. May be a good place later on for the band crowd but not so for us. read more

Cool atmosphere lots of options for drinks. They have a long bar and some couches even to sit on.

This place is pretty decent and clean. When I go is usually during the winter because they have fireplaces. They've got good drinks, and like almost every other bar, only has 1 mens and 1 womens bathroom. Everytime I go, the crowd is usually the "older, Greystoners." read more

The drinks aren't very good. I could make something better at home, and I am NOT a bartender. The music is very loud, so this isn't a bar to sit and talk with your date. There's no smoking inside which is very nice. I probably won't go back though. read more
