Great atmosphere. Great food and reasonably priced. We had the corndog and salmon salad. The grits are awesome. Collard greens were a bit salty. Would order all again. Wait staff was friendly and quick. Order at the bar and food is brought out. Would definitely return.
For me, it depends on how you’re thinking about this place when rating it. As a bar and a fun place to grab drinks with friends is give it a 5 for sure. When it comes to food it’s just ok. Attempt to elevate bar food but frankly a corn dog is a corn dog. The food is really good for what it is but this isn’t a restaurant where you go simply for the food. It is a great bar with a bar(ish) menu.
I decided to try the kale caesar salad with ahi tuna, and I was not disappointed! The dressing was very good, and the tuna was cooked perfectly. I really like the outdoor seating. It’s a great place to have lunch or dinner outside, but keep in mind it’s 21+ only. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Attitude! Spare me. Please. Terrible service and condescending bartenders. I’ve been here numerous times and it’s always the same. I guess if you’re not ultra hip or a friend of the staff you get to fight to get their attention.
The food was excellent. We had cold ramen, oxtail chili, fries, and humus plate. Each item was delicious, healthy (except the fries cause that’s impossible), and creatively done. The humus was sundried tomato; it was lemony and creamy, served with veggies, pita, olive tapenade, etc. the cold ramen was served with a large heap of smoked beef, kimchi, soft boiled eggs, etc. super. The chili was more like a stew with lots of tomato celery onion, wonderful flavor. It had a pile of shredded cheese in top, sliced fresh jalepeno, and garlic buttered toast. The fries came with 3 good mystery sauces, 2 creamy, 1 tomato based. The service was weird. You order at the bar, which is fine, except that we were forced to fight to put an order in on a slow day. Had to chase the bartender around the bar some, kinda awkward. They could probably use an Order Food Here sign to separate the drinks vs food orders.
Jesus Christ. Here’s the deal: if you want a highly crafted cocktail or a locally brewed beer this place is for you. The architecture, landscape and interior are off the charts good. However, it might be a bit tough to recognize these things through the cloud of smugness that you’ll have to fight to actually get any booze into your body. From the very hip yet disinterested door guys to the very hip yet disinterested bartenders, there is a constant battle of having to prove that you’re cool enough to drink there. Granted, the bartenders are some of the most knowledgeable you’re likely to find in Birmingham (just ask them, they’ll tell you). However, they will pour that knowledge onto you looking down their noses at the steepest of angles from atop their enormous, self-made pedestals. Great drinks though.
A little pricey but very tasty. The food here is actually really good for bar food (honestly even for a regular restaurant). The drinks are good, though a little expensive. The bartenders are always friendly and eager to answer questions. The rooftop has an awesome seating area for a less noisy or crowded feeling.
