Tucana Tiki is a great experience from start to finish when you walk in it's like traveling to an…read moreisland oasis. They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

We were in town for the holidays and after dinner we stopped by for a couple of quick drinks at…read moreTucana as we wanted to try something new and this was our first time here. Its a very cool spot with upstairs seating but we sat at the bar and ordered. The containers the drinks came in was really nice as mine was in a gingerbread man and I really wanted to take it home, LOL! All in all this was a good experience for the short time we were there.

I finally got to check out Bygones! My friend and I went for a late night bite and a cocktail, and…read morewe sat at the bar. The service was quick and the hospitality was unmatched. They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

The most enjoyed was the open speakeasy and patio... the vibe was relaxed and everyone was able to let their hair down. The food was good.

But FS made it right! Great spot for a date, a girls or guys night, a work team gathering or just a solo chill.

Once it gets to a limit where there are no seats available you asked to wait outside until there is room. Luckily we walked in and were seated immediately. They played nonstop Christmas music, mostly R&B and rap which was right up my alley. For drinks we had the Run Rub Reindeer. It was pretty good, but the cinnamon taste kind of overpowered the drink. The waiter and waitress were nice and it's definitely a cool vibe and nice spot to grab a drink.

When they're busy, weekends, there's usually a bouncer at the door to check IDs and guide you in to either a table or open spot at the bar. The service here is very efficient, not like other bars where you could stand and wait and they wouldn't know you needed something. We were here on a Saturday, and they had a DJ spinning the latin tunes. I totally would recommend here for a date on a weeknight. The booths are really nice and its a fancy, intimate vibe.

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!

This is the same process as Bamboo on 2nd -- same owners. No reservations, just have to get there and give them your phone number. Luckily there's several other good bars nearby you can wait at! I love the concept of drinks and dessert. And I love the name "Nightcap." Perfect. It seems like they source most, if not all, of the desserts from local bakers. I have a slice of the plain ol cheesecake from Sorelle's in Homewood and it was FANTASTIC. One of the best pieces of cheesecake I've ever had. The wine and cocktail menu is extensive. Prices are standard for a spot like this, $10-16 per drink. Our service was great. The decor inside is super fun. The wallpaper is incredible. I'll definitely be back.

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

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.
