I got the Koala-la-la-la drink which was super cute, and I chose it to get the koala of course lol. They also had some little treats in which my friends and I each got a Little Debbie Christmas tree cake. Service was good, but we did encounter a flooding issue that cut our visit a bit short in which everyone had to evacuate. But I would certainly come back!

This was my first time here and definitely won't be my last. We came here for drinks on Christmas…read moreEve and the place had a nice flow of people going in and out. 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.

It's a gas sitting and discussing their approach to the cocktails they create. I mean...I live in Denver and fly to AL in large part to visit these guys!

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.

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.

I was here with my friends for some pool and drinks. For context, we were not there very late…read more(maybe 9-10:30ish). My friends and I played some pool, had some drinks and then decided to leave. Before leaving, my best friend and I decided to go to the ladies room. Upon discovering that all bathrooms save one were full, we elected to go into the single available bathroom together. I will at this point acknowledge that there was a sign on the bathroom door that said "one person at a time" that we did not see initially. After entering the bathroom, but after I had disrobed to the point necessary to use the bathroom, we heard someone BEATING on the door saying only one person allowed at a time. We explained through the door that one of us was in the process of using the bathroom, and that we would be out shortly. The banging on the door continued, and, when I stated that I was mostly naked (to use the bathroom) this person returned "I bet you are." Once we were finished using the bathroom, this person ( a man who was identified as one of the owners by a friend, but not confirmed as such by me) aggressively confronted us about the bathroom policy, sayin we would be kicked out. I told him I was about to leave anyway, and that we'd only decided to go into the bathroom together once the other bathrooms were deemed full, and that, further, it was more efficient to use the bathrooms in pairs, where one person used it, while another washed their hands. He was not receptive to this feedback and further pointed to the sign. Upon walking away, the women he was with even stated that I was "such a b*tch", to which he did nothing. If this was an owner, I am appalled at the treatment of a patron. Had this been handled differently, I would have gladly offered an explanation and apology. Further, if this owner allowed his guest/date to insult me loudly across the bar, it makes me wonder what else they allow. If this is someone not affiliated with the bar, which, based on the passion of the affront, I doubt, I encourage the bar to better police their patrons, as this encounter made me feel very unsafe. I won't be back.

The sandwiches looked great. My grilled cheese sandwich was perfect!! 2 types of cheese with enough butter to make the cheese ooey and gooey. We didn't really understand how/where to order or how/where to sit, but following the directions of the folks in front of us helped. The menu consisted of sandwiches, soup and chips. There were a selection of different types of beer, wines and liquor. Cool ambiance; hanging out in the garage eating a sandwich while having a drink. The seats were a little uncomfortable, church pews, but you're in a garage. I would go back for the grilled cheese sandwich, for sure. The people with me thought their meat sandwiches were delicious!

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.

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.

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.
