There's no food - so don't arrive expecting to eat and drink. That is the only drawback…read more The actual bar experience is a welcomed relief from the college kids - just very chill and laid back. The bartenders are super attentive and the drink variety is exceptional. One half is a quiet restaurant type area and the other half has pinball and video games. I tell anyone coming to town who wants a break from students but a chill place to drink that this is the spot.

You can get burgers but also get entree like salmon here which were this place apart from just a regular burgers bar joint. Our party was celebrating a birthday and was so nice with all our needs (extra plates, napkins, forks, and knife to cut the cake). My sandwich was an oldie but goodie. The show stopper was definitely these house made chips! 10/10!!!

I mentioned it to them and they said they had not. I called to speak with manager 3 times no response. The food for our event wasn't ready when the event started.

Even Friday nights aren't as super packed as others! It's usually loud just like other bars, so if you're sensitive to noise like me, being earbuds or headphones! Bartenders are super nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you're new to the bar scene or an old pro! Their signature drinks are delicious, but I always go for my usual vodka cran and lemon drop shot, which run about $15 before tipping. Very reasonable for being downtown in a college town! Great for groups, date night, or if you're feeling like going solo. Will definitely be coming back!

Went here for the first time last Saturday with some friends and we had a great time!…read moreI wish I had come here before, so I could've had more time to come here while I was a student. The vibes are great for meeting with friends and catching up. It's got plenty of comfortable seating, low lighting, and soft music. Do not come here if you're looking for a "club" vibe. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and patient, and helped me find the right drink. I started with the Malvado, which was awesome! It was the perfect level of sweetness and the ginger didn't over power it. It also was way bigger than I expected, which made the price more worth it. I then had the central perk, which was tasty but not very strong. I felt as though it could have had more of the actual liquors in it and less of the cream. Overall though it was good. I will definitely be back here, as my friends and I love it! I can't wait to try other drinks.

A group of friends and I went to MX on Cinco de Mayo. Our server was very nice and did a great job…read more The food was basic American-style Mexican--about the same as most other Mexican restaurants in Tuscaloosa. The restaurant has a great covered patio area that we were hoping to sit on, but unfortunately, after waiting for outdoor seating, the hostess gave our table to another group. We ended up seated inside, right in front of a huge speaker that was blaring Spanish party music. I could barely hear the server, and he had to lean in just to take our order. We couldn't hear each other well enough to have a conversation, even while sitting right next to one another. Our friend on the other side of the table couldn't hear us at all and eventually put in her noise-canceling AirPods and looked at her phone because she was basically alone at the table. To make matters worse, someone behind her kept bumping his chair into hers the entire time, even though she was already sitting as close to the table as possible. The tables and chairs were crammed far too close together. I'm sure the experience is better when it's not a holiday event, but the noise level and cramped seating could definitely be improved.

After another place said the wait was 2.5 hours, we checked into Central Mesa where the wait time was shorter. They have a really nice bar so we got drinks and waited there. Our server was very friendly and helpful. My Blackberry Mint Margarita was excellent! When we got our table we started off with guacamole, salsa, and chips. The salsa had a great spice! Our entrees ranged from a Chimichanga, to Enchiladas, to bowls. We all thought the food was very good. I liked the Enchiladas with Spanish Rice. If you're looking for some good Mexican food in Tuscaloosa, check out Central Mesa!

Notes: 1) been here once…read more2) nice waiting area in front 3) close to Black Warrior Pros: 1) good service 2) good ambiance Cons: 1) okay food Ratings: 3.5/5 Service was really good. Ambiance was overall good. There is a nice waiting area outside which leads into a long hallway where the tables are. The space is used well but could be much improved. There is also a bar which separates the seating area from the bathroom/ back. The food is overall not bad. The mozzarella stick appetizer was good, cheesy and fried well. The marinara sauce was okay. The chicken Parmesan was good. The chicken was cooked well and the Parmesan was a good addition. The spaghetti did not add much to the dish. It felt like store bought spaghetti. Food ratings: 1) mozzarella app: overall 3/5, solid for what it was but nothing impressive 2) chicken Parmesan: overall 2.5/5, solid chicken but other additions didn't really bring much

A tiny amount of shredded Parmesan. a small tomato on each corner. An ounce of dressing. A three dollar bagged salad from Publix far exceeded Sugos entree salad. Cavatappi, had to literally be from the same box that I buy it from at the store. Had a scoop of Pomodoro sauce on it. And a meatball. I was hoping the meatball would've been the saving grace , but it unfortunately didn't have any flavor and broke apart. Bruschetta salmon. A fillet of salmon that had a small amount of bruschetta topping on the top. Five pieces of grilled asparagus beside it. We opted for the seasonal festival, which was a white Styrofoam container of what appeared to be French cut green beans out of a can. The salmon was good, but this was not a gourmet meal by any means. Positive note. The bread pudding was decent. I know that we won't be going to the restaurant anytime soon and we'll stick with probably Depalmas when they open back up.

I wanted to try their margaritas…read morebut unfortunately they had ran out of all except for the strawberry margarita; so we tried that and it was nice! Loved the cozy environment, they also have a backyard where they have live music bands performing sometimes! They also got some arcade games in the back. All in all a solid place! The only reason that I'm giving a 4 star is that I noticed that the drink was heavily watered down and when I asked for adding less ice on my second drink the bartender said they have to add ice to a certain level!!! I could taste less water and more of the actual drink with less ice on my second drink though!
