I had a delicious pork chop with black eyed pea, corn, okra, and tomato succotash. A glass of red wine and a bottle of beer. Small dining area with a warm welcoming feel. There are tables outside when the weather cooperates. It was a little warm outside for us. The service was good! Our only issues were rounding the block a few times for find parking and 18% gratuity being included with the bill.

You can truly taste the creativity and quality in every sip. My favorite was the Raspberry Rose Margarita--made with fresh raspberries they puree in-house! The flavor was incredible and definitely one of the best margaritas I've had. If you're in Birmingham and love elevated cocktails, Bygones is a must-try!

Outside they had a food truck, which after a few drinks, my friends and I decided to grab a bite from. I ordered the "Irish Poutine." It was fries topped with gravy and "cheese curds." While the service and price were great, I was not a fan of what I ordered. The temperature of my food was slightly above warm and the cheese curds seems more like a mozzarella stick that was cut up. The gravy was bland and a bit on the salty side. While this wasn't the best meal, it was good convenient to have outside the bar!

The outdoor seating was nice, with both covered and uncovered options, although the lighting outside could have been a little better. I was sitting on the patio because I had food from the taco truck. They checked IDs at the door, which wasn't an issue. At 34, I actually didn't feel much older than most of the crowd, which was a pleasant surprise. The drink selection seemed a bit limited. I wanted to try the frozen espresso that was advertised on the menu board, but they told me they didn't have it that night. That seemed a little odd, especially for a Friday night when you'd expect popular menu items to be available. Inside, the venue was spacious and featured a live band, which added to the atmosphere. It wasn't overly crowded, and I appreciated that. They also have outdoor beach volleyball courts. I didn't make it out to the courts, but I could see people gathered around watching the games. One thing I found a little unusual was that I was told I had to eat my food on the patio. It wasn't a problem, but it seemed odd since I didn't notice them serving food inside. I'm guessing it's probably a cleanliness or policy issue. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for a super casual night. The relaxed atmosphere, live music, and outdoor space made it an enjoyable place to hang out.

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!

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.
