Came highly recommended and it didn't miss particularly for their infused drinks. Tried the peach bourbon and it was good. Plenty of options to pick from and a great for the price as well. read more

Go see Bailey! The place is imperfectly perfect and will have to enjoying your night.

Just go! Get an infusion! It's loud and smoky most nights after 8:00 so go earlier or sit on the patio if that's not your vibe. The drinks are great but sweet, order accordingly if you don't like a sweet old fashioned. The staff has almost completely turned over since the fall but the quality has remained! Never have I ever loved a place so much. The dirty infused martini slaps after a hard day. The cucumber Collins is great for a good day. read more

I reviewed this place in my Bloody Mary book, and I had to come back for another round to see if it still holds up. I am happy to report that yes, yes it does. Get my Bloody Mary book here: https://amzn.to/2HT8y5E read more

When I'm back home this is my favorite spot to go to. It has all the elements of what you would want in a speakeasy/elevated vibe but also a dive bar. They allow you to be yourself, but also serve multiple options of infusion cocktails. It is honestly the best Bloody Mary you will ever have in your life. If you're feeling on the wild side, I suggest the strawberry jalapeño tequila. The people that work there have always been not only kind but quick. I've made friend with many a bartender there over the years that has made sure to not only serve me the drink I want but what I need depending on the week I've had. This place is and will always be one of my favorites. read more

Catch 22 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Wow! What a cool spot! Lots of housemade infusions and cocktails. They also had an INSANE whiskey/bourbon selection, but be prepared to shell out the $$$$$ as it seemed more intent on preserving them than serving them. Service was great, music played were awesome but the only real drawback is seemingly this place is grandfathered in to allow smoking as there were at least two patrons smoking at the bar. That was quite the turnoff but we still plan on returning in future visits! read more

If you come here be prepared to smell like cigarette smoke as the venue allows inside smoking. The staff is also rude.

Great place to go after you drop your kids off at the booth. The infused drinks are amazing. I would recommend the bourbon infused wild, cherry and absolute favorite. read more

A great little bar with great friendly folks. It's a local must. Never disappoints. Love it here!

Fantastic little bar in downtown Tuscaloosa. This bar was mine and my wife's go-to when we were in town this past weekend. The regulars are also great, especially a vibrant young fellow by the name of Bo. He took us under his wing and introduced us to everyone. We had a blast! read more

Love this place!!! Great infused vodkas and whiskeys! Definitely a Tuscaloosa staple for those looking for great drinks you can't really find anywhere else! Always incredible service and excellent bar tenders Sarah really rocks, but the others have always delivered phenomenal service too! In addition to infusions, they have a pretty extensive cooler full of craft and mainstream beers, prosecco, and wine! Always a less student-filled crowd while keeping and excellent downtown location! What's not to love??? read more

Catch 22 - Cheers! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Catch 22, the choice is yours. I recently spent a weekend in Tuscaloosa for a football game and we were looking for somewhere to have a couple of craft cocktails before we went to dinner. Its a very unprepossessing place, welcoming however not very big. Belly up to the bar and talk to Hunter or Sara, they are two of the friendliest bartenders I have encountered in a while. I ordered a Buffalo Trace based old fashioned, as thats my go to, and it was delicious. Not too sweet and still possessing the bite one would expect. Now one thing to note, its an infusion bar, which I had never really had experience with. They have Buffalo Trace infused with berries or peaches. 1800 tequila with jalepenos or a couple of other options. Vodka of some kind with all the fixings for a bloody mary already infused, simply add tomato juice and you're good to go. This being a full bar, they have all the nice small batch bourbons, a good vodka selection, and even Pappy Van Winkle if you feel like splurging yourself. My only real complaint is it gets smoky in there and they could use a vent to release it, otherwise its a great place in the heart of downtown's dining options that will always provide a great cocktail, and the friendliest bartenders in all of Alabama! Great Job y'all! read more

This is my favorite place to grab a bevy after a long hard day of work. Great drinks, amazing people, and an awesome atmosphere.

Fabulous drinks that we enjoyed outside... inside wouldn't be a 5 star review due to the horrible smell of cigarettes.

Had a great time here, my date liked the selection of cocktails too. Crowd and bartenders were friendly, music wasn't too loud, good ambiance. read more

I discovered Catch 22 while attending UA. I absolutely fell in love with this bar and love to visit whenever I'm in Tuscaloosa. They infuse their own liquors with various fruits, spices and even vegetables.My favorites are the tropical fruit vodka and their bloody mary vodka (complete with onions, celery, peppers, limes and more). My boyfriend really enjoyed the bourbon infused with peaches during our last visit. This is a really small and narrow bar, but they do have some outside seating. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for something other than your run-of-the-mill college town bar. read more

Catch 22 - Tropical Fruit Infused vodka and Sierra Mist. You can thank me later! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

My first time in Tuscaloosa and this place did not disappoint! Really cool drink menu and the servers were 10/10!

What a great concept! Custom flavored spirits. The most unusual is the Bloody Mary Vodka but our fave was the Bourbon Cherry! A close second was the Strawberry, Pineapple, and Jalapeno Tequila which makes a great margarita. Service was fantastic on our first visit but we were the only ones in the bar initially. Later, after dark, the place was lively so we had to go to the bar for service but were served quickly. FYI, as a bar with no food, smoking is allowed inside. read more

I enjoy not getting up. And I have been served at the table. They always have GameDay and company competitive with service industry.

Catch 22 is my new favorite place to have drinks in Tuscaloosa! If you go, you have to try one (or two, or three) of their infused drinks. They have a ton of infused vodka flavors as well as infused tequila and infused bourbon flavors. For my first cocktail, I had an old fashioned with peach infused bourbon. So delicious! For my second cocktail, i wanted to try the cherry infused bourbon. Hunter was working behind the bar and made an amazing concoction for me. It's not on the menu and I can't remember what exactly was all in it, but it was awesome! I'm also excited to come back one morning and try one of their infused bloody marys. If you're looking for somewhere to grab some craft cocktails in Tuscaloosa, definitely check out Catch 22. The drinks and service were awesome and I can't wait to come back! read more

Love the cocktails. Hate the smoking. Their cherry bourbon is divine and the service is usually decent, but unless you plan on burning your clothing three feet under your backyard, I don't recommend it. There are way too many other good bars with an all around great atmosphere to suffer through the second hand smoke there. read more

Absolutely have LOVED the bar in the past. We came on a Monday, there were about 10 of us total in the bar. There was only 1 bartender, and she was extremely rude the whole time we were there (about 2 hours). Was extremely thrown off, as the other bartenders here are usually very nice. Unsure if I'll return after tonight due to the rudeness we encountered. Super disappointed, as this WAS my favorite bar in TTown. read more

Absolutely loved going here. The atmosphere is so welcoming. The music was amazing. I am not a drinker but everyone in my party enjoyed different infused vodka drinks. It was so relaxed that I actually never wanted to leave. A must for anyone who likes to experiment with their beverages. read more

My favorite bar in Tuscaloosa by far. Best bartenders in town, Tim, Chris, Hunter, and Bobby never disappoint! Whenever I have friends in town Catch 22 is always our first stop. My personal favorites are the Angry Mule and the Korean Daiquiri! Going to miss this place and all of the infusions when I graduate! read more

Catch 22 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Located next to FIve, it's almost unnoticeable unless if you are intentionally looking for it. The bar tenders are very nice and helpful. The drinks are good and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing and each table has a candle to make it feel more romantic. The only down side is that it doesn't feel so clean. It's a great place to relax with friends and not have music be blasting in your ears. I would come back here again because even the thought of it was relaxing. I just can't remember it as well as other bars. read more

I really love this place. *sigh* 1.) more locals 25+ frequent this spot so rarely the frat drunken spot that is the usual in this town. 2.) the decor is dive meets trendy, perfect hipster scene. 3.) the bartenders make it their job to remember you and make your experience memorable, whether it's an on the house round or music selection or remembering your name. They are my fave bartenders. 4.) these are not in order but I of course love the drinks. The vodka infusions are so perfectly mixed you could drink any of them on the rocks (is that the point of an infusion?) my favorites are the bloody Mary mix, the pineapple & the blueberry (not all together of course.) This place doesn't get 5 stars because it is SUpER tiny 20 people and the place is crammed. read more

This is a fun place! Really cool Vodka infusion for drinks was both visually interesting and made for some great drinks. The bartenders were very good. The crowd the night we were there was a very "eclectic" mix of folks. I reserve the right to review this one again after another visit... If you are in T-Town, this is worth a try. read more

Walked in found it to be smoking and walked out. Small seating area and a bar. Can't comment on anything else but I'm not going to a smoking bar. read more

This bar is a wonderful find in T-town. Wonderful of infused vodkas and other spirits. Great bartenders who are true artists. read more

Catch 22 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

They're mostly known for the vodka infusions but they also have the best selection of high end spirits in town. Pappy Van Winkle 23 year, Louis VIII and Herradura Especial lie in the $100+ range and there are plenty more premium selections that few bars care to stock. read more

Catch 22 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

This is my favorite place to get drinks in Tuscaloosa, it's small and cozy inside, so it's easy to talk with friends. The staff is always so nice and great to talk to! Went last night and had Hunter as our bartender and he was great and outgoing and made us some amazing Korean daiquiris. TRY THE KOREAN DAIQUIRI!!!! It's soooo good. If you like a little spice in your drink you will love this one. Also love the pickle martini and the coffee drink! read more

Was looking forward to having a drink here and when we walked in it reeked of cigarette smoke and ashtrays everywhere.. There were several people smoking inside at this point we turned around a walked out.. Probably a great place if your a smoker.. if not stay clear.. read more

My absolute favorite bar in town. The infusions are great, the atmosphere is great, and the service is great. I come here at least once a month, if not more. The drinks are pricey, but you're getting more than the standard legal drink size with each drink. The infusions are so good you can drink them on the rocks. I suggest the coffee drink or mixed berry on the rock. If you're a pickle fan, go for the pickle shot. I wish they had something for often reoccurring customers because they've gotten a lot of business off of my friends and I ! read more

Great infusions, which is a nice change from a lot of places I've been that make infused liquor but terrible cocktails. Good service too and a nice looking bar. Definitely going to come back when I get a chance to get some more margaritas with infused tequila! read more

Catch 22 - Strawberry pineapple jalapeño margarita! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Perfect and delicious. Great bartenders! I've had a wonderful experience each time. Great place to start or end your night. Anything made with their in-house vodka infusions is terrific. My favorite is a berry mojito. read more

The drinks are amazing, I recommend the blueberry infusion with a splash of pineapple (a house special apparently). My only advice is to steer clear of the peach bourbon unless you are a diehard whiskey drinker, it has quite the bite. read more

So eat before you go since there is no food. NO finger food NO bar food, nada. but the drinks are so good. This is an infusion bar, I loved it the staff was great let you try the infusions. Only issue is that they allow smoking inside. But I will be back for more drinks. read more

Love their selection of infusions and flavors. Bring your entire paycheck though.
