    Restrooms were surprisingly clean and lines weren't long

    First visit to the Amphitheater was to see Teddy Swims and I was not disappointed!! A very nice addition to Bham. There were plenty of bars and lines weren't long. Bathrooms were very clean. Sat in Section 103 and had a great view of the stage,even while sitting and people were standing up in front of me. As someone who love going to concerts, I love that there was a little table in between seats to place your drinks and food! (Very small thing but I appreciated this!) After going, I wanna go to more shows! Parking was interesting. We pre-paid for parking in N3 parking deck & ended up on the very top level. It was close to the amphitheater but There was No elevator so we had to take the stairs (6 floors) ! I wasn't prepared for that. So if you don't wanna deal with the stairs arrive early.

    So much fun!! Went to the very first show here last night to see Matt Rife. What a great, new event venue for our city! We underestimated the distance from Uptown to the amphitheater. We were planning to get cocktails and walk over. It's quite a trek. For events, they have these "jam trams" that seat about 10-12 and can carry people from uptown to closer to the venue. We rode that and were dropped off down the hill from the venue. It didn't seem like there were many. (We arrived after showtime and immediately had a ride but I did notice long lines earlier) You have two options after that. You can either wait on golf carts or walk. The walk is about 5 minutes but there is an incline! Once inside, there are lots of food options to choose from! It's pretty clear where the food and drinks are because of the big signs. There are also screens everywhere so you def won't miss the show. There are even screens in the bathrooms! Once inside, it looks amazinggg. The sound is great and the screens make it easy to see no matter how far back you are! Leaving the venue was a little tough. All 9,000+ people were seemingly exiting the only two exits from where the seats were. It was definitely congested. We hopped over multiple rows to get out faster. Once out, it was noticeable the little transportation options they had so we chose to make the longggg trek back to Uptown. I'm assuming they are in the process of building a parking deck or something. Parking and the lack of transportation options to get people to their far away cars would be my only critique. I blame this on the newness and looking forward to see how they improve that process. Overall, it was an amazing venue and looking forward to all the events coming to The Magic City.

    Went to see Toto last night! The new amphitheater is awesome. Gorgeous views of the sunset over Birmingham's skyline. You can very clearly see the lights from the City Federal building! Fireworks here would be awesome. The space has so much potential for different kinds of events. There's a ton of bathroom stalls, they're clearly ready to host some sold-out shows. Alabama Shakes this weekend!!! Would love to see the amazing Brittany Howard in her home state. Security is good, we came in about an hour after show start, and still caught most of the second opener. No line, no traffic. Speaking of traffic--we parked in the Uptown neighborhood, and the amphitheater offers a free shuttle service from the parking lot in between City Walk and Uptown right to the doors. This was so awesome! We did have to wait a little bit after the show, as everyone was leaving at the same time, but it wasn't too bad. I'm thinking that the hospital they're tearing down next door might be a good spot for a parking deck... I'm not sure the van and golf cart transportation system will work forever. The theater itself is sloped, no steps. I really did not mind this, and I think this makes it infinitely more accessible for older patrons. We didn't have people sitting in the couple rows in front of us, but I could see that affecting the view. Drinks are expensive. I got one beer, which was a tallboy (two beers) and it was $20. Yikes! I guess that's on par with entertainment venues like this, but still feels hefty. I'd like to see them highlight more local beers and food places. Maybe even bringing in a local food truck for every show. I wonder if they'll close for the winter. I know most artists that play amphitheaters tour during warmer months anyways, but I would totally bundle up and come to a Christmas concert here or something.

    This outdoor amphitheater was highly anticipated! It seems smaller than the previous Oak Mountain Amphitheater we had in town. But it is very nice, clean, and new! There are a variety of parking options available as well as golf carts that can take you to the venue after you park. My friends and I came to see Parker McCollum, Kameron Marlowe, and Laci Kaye Booth. It was a great time! They do have food and drinks here for sale as well. I know I will be back!

    Came here for the Teddy Swims concert! The venue is very nice! The drinks are pricey just like any concert venue. Had an amazing time!!

    Very nice venue. Came here for the Teddy Swims concert and he did such an amazing job. Definitely coming back for future events

    I have been to two concerts so far since it opened and had great experiences about both. It is clean, easy to navigate, and I love that you can bring your on empty water bottle. We did the vinyl room for one of the shows and it is very cool! Lots of seating in a/c which you have to appreciate.

    Meet Birmingham's newest ampithteater! My family and I went to see Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit here just days after the amphitheater's opening. I am a bit disappointed in the lack of creativity that went into the amphitheater's design. It's just this big, beige "eyesore", if you will, near uptown. Despite the blandness, the amphitheater is very clean. Unfortunately, unless this is an addition later to come, there is no shade whatsoever. No awnings in sight, come prepared! They do let you bring in an empty water bottle though, so that could save you $8 from having to buy one! The dining options were pretty typical... burger, hot dog, chicken tenders, nachos. I ended up ordering a burger and fries, which was just over $20. The quality reminded me of public school lunchroom food. All that to say, I had much higher hopes for this amphitheater. The concert was great, but the venue itself could have been *more*.

    Not good seats for site line in upper levels to see stage. Stay away from 200 and 300.

    The Nick is definitely not for everyone -- but it's absolutely an experience you'll never forget…read more After my friend (who was hosting us) passed out, my other friend and I decided to see more of Birmingham's nightlife. A friendly bartender at Up-Down Arcade Bar (another must-visit!) told us about this place, mentioning it's one of the few bars open 24 hours on the weekend. Naturally, curiosity won. From the jump, this place had character. There's a bouncer at the door, a makeshift elevated DJ booth to the right where you have to pay cash for a "membership." Don't worry -- there's an ATM conveniently behind the booth, ready to charge you a nice little convenience fee if you didn't bring cash. The membership lasts a year, but still, that was a first for me. Inside? Small. Crowded. Lively. And at 1 AM, there was a guy passed out in a chair right by the entrance -- with his dog roaming freely around the bar. I honestly couldn't make this up if I tried. The bartenders were solid -- fast, cool, and trying their best to keep up with the rush. There's a selection of local beers (pretty good ones too) and two pool tables... well, technically one, since they only had one cue ball. The pool sticks? Ancient relics. The bathroom? I'll spare you the visuals. Outside was much more breathable. There was a local guy named Walter -- from Georgia, of all places -- selling BBQ. Cool dude. The turkey wing was a little tough, but his attitude made up for it. Now, the real highlights? The people and the atmosphere. You've got folks eavesdropping on your conversations, tossing around racially backed jokes at me (that I politely corrected), a row of chain-smokers out front, and a woman openly asking for cigarettes or change that may have been homeless, but was definitely a crackhead and she so eloquently vocalized. It's a gritty and downright raw type of place, but somehow, it works. There wasn't any live music when we came, but I'm sure that's what makes this place shine more than it already does in its own unique way. I'll definitely be back for a performance night. Bottom line: Five stars because The Nick is exactly what it's supposed to be -- an unfiltered slice of Birmingham nightlife that refuses to apologize for being itself.

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!

Service at the bar was good considering every seat at the bar was taken. We ordered our food and it was out within 15-20 minutes.

The chicken breasts were juicy and flavorful. The spice level was typical for Nashville hot chicken, which I sometimes I can't take. But I loved the flavor so much I couldn't stop eating it.

It had a good energy right away. I had been looking at a few things on the menu and was really going back and forth. I was interested in the hot chicken, the Brussels sprouts, and also the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. They told me both were really good, and I ended up going with the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. Great choice. I also got a side salad with the chipotle ranch dressing and that was very good too. Picture below. For dessert, I was planning on getting the key lime pie, because that is usually my move, but Hayden my server talked me into trying the blueberry cobbler cheesecake instead. I am glad he did. It was very good. Picture below. Between the crowded room, the good service, and the food, this was a very strong experience all the way around. I am giving The Southern Kitchen & Bar 5 stars.

The chairs sucked to add to it. I find the bathroom, whoever thought it was such a good idea to put a faucet that high was special because you have to turn the water low enough or push the faucet to the side to prevent from it splashing all over you. My in-laws got there a few mins before us and got everyone waters which that was good. The waitress, it took her forever to come back by to ask for drinks or starters. Granted we were waiting for a few other people but my husband wanted a soda and we were going to go ahead and get an appetizer. I decide to stick with my water because I just felt like I would get a drink if I asked for something different. Which I was right. My husband had to wave the waitress down for his soda. She accidentally brought him diet. She never brought back his drink. I had to get up and ask the hostess about our his drink and that we were wanting to order an appetizer. The hostess apologized and said they were really busy. I know I had to fix my face because I looked around, saw our table, and two other tables, about 6 people at the bar that the bartender handled, and looked back at the hostess like, "wtf?" The rest of our group shows up. Waitress comes back. Still no drink for my husband and gets our appetizer orders along with the remaining drink orders. When the appetizers comes out, it was a guy who brought it to us and we asked him about the soda and he apologizes and gets it for us...finally. Nothing special about the appetizer just chips and dip. We finish it and once again...the waiting game. The rest of our group still had yet to get their drinks. She comes back after another long wait, drink less, and gets our orders. My father in-law mentions the drinks, she apologies, and gets them. The wait it took for our food to come was ridiculous. I hate to imagine how long we would have had to wait if it was actually busy. Maybe it might have been worth my wild if the food was phenomenal but the moment it was sat in front...I knew it was not gonna be good. I got the Alfredo with shrimp. It looked like some soup. The sauce to noodle ratio was not good. The sauce was so runny that I had to lean it and eat the noodle like Naruto eating ramen. 5 measly pieces of shrimp. The sauce was also very gritty. How something that is so runny also be gritty, I don't know but I've had lean cuisine frozen alfredo dinners better than this $29 plate. 3 of us ordered Alfredo, only one got a piece of bread but I'm not asking for bread because I don't want to wait 30 mins to get it. My son looked at me and legit said, "we should have just gone to Olive Garden" knowing good and well I don't care for Olive Garden but also knowing it would have been better than whatever this plate in front of me was called. When walking to my car, I looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry but this place sucked. I've been curious about it and now that I've experienced it...there is nothing here that would bring me back." So I suggest spend your money elsewhere because there is nothing that makes this place standout enough to have the audacity to have nonexistent service and charge $29 for soupy Alfredo
