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

Here's a polished Yelp review you could post:…read more I had a great experience at 23 Court Cigar Bar. The atmosphere was fantastic--comfortable, welcoming, and a great place to relax and unwind. The drinks were amazing and clearly crafted with care. Whether you're stopping in for a cigar, a cocktail, or just looking for a great place to spend an evening, I would highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back! If you'd like, I can also make it sound a little more casual, sophisticated, or cigar-enthusiast-focused.

I'm so glad I found this spot while in Montgomery for work…read more Even though I'm not a cigar smoker, I would come back for their incredible smoked Old Fashioneds. They are expertly crafted, full of flavor, and easily some of the best I've had in the area. The atmosphere is what really makes this place special. It's comfortable, relaxing, and has the perfect vibe for sitting back, having a conversation, and letting the stress of the day fade away. Whether you're meeting friends or just looking for a quiet place to enjoy a drink, it strikes a great balance between upscale and welcoming. They also have a nice wine selection, which is a great option for non-cigar smokers. While it can get a little smoky at times, as you'd expect from a cigar bar, the ventilation system does a great job of keeping the space comfortable. You don't have to be a cigar enthusiast to enjoy 23 Court. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere, and leave feeling relaxed. I'll definitely be back for another smoked Old Fashioned.

Despite the poor ventilation, my first time visit here was chill…read more My friend and I ordered something to drink at the bar and took the party outside because the smoke literally was unbearable ( for me). Overall, I did like the chill atmosphere and the coziness of the space. TVs, fish tank and all was nice..... The outdoor patio seating was comfortable and much more enjoyable. The bartender lady was sweet and helpful. I plan to return for a cigar and a night cap real soon.

They had holiday cocktails all featuring bourbon (of course). I prefer vodka so I asked if they had vodka. She said they have vanilla vodka for the holiday cocktails (with bourbon). I asked to leave off the bourbon and it's not allowed. I asked if I could have some vanilla vodka as my drink - that's not allowed because it's only for the cocktails. It felt strange to be told no over and over in a bar. We're sorta turned off now and not recommending it for a while. To be a happy place, give a little flexibility so the vodka folks can come in and have a drink with their bourbon buddies. Sigh.

They also have some half-price appetizers during that time. We were promptly seated, didn't have a weight. This is my first time at this location. I had been to the one in Alabaster and Hoover location, but not this location. Our server's name is Shellee. She said it was her second shift. I never would've known unless she told me she was extremely attentive and friendly. We both started off with the perfect margarita on the rocks. We each had two of them. They were so delicious. I believe she said the bartender's name was Kasey. She definitely did a great job on those drink. We had a pretzel and beer cheese appetizer to start with which was very delicious and was recommended by the server. For dinner, I have the buffalo chicken wrap and my partner had the ribs. We were both happy with our meals. I did visit the bathroom and it was very clean. It definitely is one of the bigger locations I will definitely be back here again

Parking wasn't bad because there's a parking garage right behind Eighty Eight. When we entered, we were greeted and escorted to our seats. Note: I suggest buying VIP tickets so you have a guaranteed seat. A DJ played music, which was comprised of a good mix. The show was supposed to start at 9:30 pm, but it didn't start until around 10:15 pm. I understand things can happen so I'm going to give them a little grace this time. We ordered drinks, wings, and fries. The food was great! I believe it came from Sleek. The drinks were good. As for the entertainment, it was phenomenal! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and we would go back.
