This was my first time at this location, and as a newer transplant to Birmingham, I truly…read moreappreciated getting to experience such a cool spot. The decor is so fun. The hanging clouds, the purple mirror near the restrooms, the green stools... it all feels playful and inviting. And the fresh, dainty flowers at each table are such a beautiful touch. It's those little details that make the space feel extra special. I ordered the Iced Clouds Cold Foam with Vietnamese coffee. The foam was absolutely beautiful in the cup... not quite as beautiful once my straw made contact and it jumped onto my white shirt. We had a moment. Still worth it. I also had one of their cheese danishes, and let me just say... the best I've ever had. Light, flaky, buttery, with just the right touch of sweetness and powdered sugar. It didn't stand a chance. Danny and Green were amazing and provided such friendly, welcoming service. Truly delightful humans. I also love the concept of a coffee shop by morning and cocktail lounge by night. It's creative, fresh, and just makes sense. Definitely a place I'd love to come back to.

The interior is cute and fun, the service is great, but the drinks are also way above average. Vietnamese coffee is to die for and it's so good here. I also got a matcha and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm a big matcha drinker and have NEVER had a good matcha at a cafe until I tried it here. I didn't know the latte was sweetened by default, so that would be my only change next time. Definitely will be coming back!

There is no food, but the drinks are good and only $12 for a nice mixed cocktail. If you're in B'ham looking for cocktails, go have the experience at HOFO!!

Nice view of Birmingham, Drinks are overly priced and not to mention Colin the "bar manager"…read moredoesn't like that us man talk to the bartenders. Extremely hostile and jealous environment. Word on the street is that the manager is hooking up with one specific bartender and very protective over her. Other than that nice view.

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink. It's relatively dark in here so much more of a romantic vibe.

It has a nice slice of toast with cream cheese, thinly sliced avocado on top, and a boiled egg. I really enjoyed it with a side of bacon. My husband ordered the egg cheese Sammy. It was really yummy as well. We had a French press coffee and mimosa. The decor was really pretty. I've been here for dinner and enjoy the dinner menu as well. I've had the burger before for brunch and that was really juicy and nice. No complaints here :) Great outdoor patio. Parking on the street. Definitely check them out!

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.

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

You go through the Armour House restaurant and down the stairs to get there. When we arrived there, there was a line out the door. We had a party of six, so we put our name down for one of the booths. It took awhile to be seated, but once we were. It was totally worth it. The booths were large and private and easily sat six people. My favorite drink was the Banana Mai Tai mocktail.
