The famous Chad Fisher
Marcia N.

I came here to see Chad Fisher and Carrie wheat. There are tons of other very well-known artists. There's enough parking on Highland Avenue. There was no cover. The beer is warm but that doesn't bother me. They have a plastic water container where you can drink water. But it is not cold. It's kind of a dive but I like it. I met so many people there, a lot of musicians and artists. I think a lot of locals to that five points area

One of the Crown Jewels in Southside Birmingham is Dave's Pub. Classic dive bar feel with great drinks and daily specials. They have happy hour everyday from 3-7 so you can't go wrong with that. My personal favorite thing about Dave's outside of bartender Leyna is Monday Night Football Bingo and Thursday Night Karaoke. Dave's also has one of the best selections of whisky and bourbon I've seen in Bham. They also support the local bham breweries also with its large selection of on tap beers. Dave's is the place to be and also dog friendly.

The brown  derby

This is a great place to meet with friends after work. The whiskey women of Alabama met here for our meeting and it was as great. We were served a cocktail called Alabama bramble which was very good. Then we were taught to make a simple syrup and how to infuse it with different flavor. Next we where able to mix our own cocktail that is called the brown derby cocktail. This cocktail was good too and they both were made with Coopers Craft which is a bourbon. The bartender and the bar manager had great personalities and are very good teachers.

I had written my original review about the wrong "Daves" - the horrible service, rude staff were at Dave's Pizza

When my friends and I are going out we always say we will go to Dave's and then go wherever the night takes us.

While we were making the move from Texas to North Carolina we stopped in Tuscaloosa for the night…read more I wanted to try a restaurant downtown since it was our first time in this town and the Avenue pub came highly rated. Parking is manageable, but you'll need to find parking either in front or to the side of the restaurant. When you walk in it has the feel of a polished, upscale pub. We were seated and immediately ordered the bacon burger (which comes with a 1/2 a pound of ground beef with provolone and bacon). I also would recommend adding grilled onions to the burger and upgrading the fries to pub fries (seasoned fries topped with shaven Parmesan, mozzarella, and chopped bacon). The peppercorn ranch that is especially good and tied everything together. If you are looking for a craft burger spot in the heart of Tuscaloosa, I can't say enough good things about this place and it's absolutely worth checking out.

Me and wife came here for lunch after seeing reviews…read more I'll start with staff. They were very friendly and we were seated right away. For food I ordered the chicken club and wife got the fish and chips. The club was good not amazing. Both the sandwich and fries were a little too salt heavy. The fish and chips were ok. Not the best but not bad. Again fries little to salt heavy. I'd go back if someone really wanted to eat there but wouldn't choose this place.

Carrigan's is probably one of my favorite spaces in Bham. It's rustic, has charm, tall ceilings,…read moreand plenty of space! I love their multiple seating options. They have long community tables as well as the most cozy tucked away booth for a group as well as rooftop seating. This is really great space for groups or even just you and a friend. Or, even if you want to go grab a bite and a beer after work there's a long bar you can sit at, too. The vibe is very laid-back, but also trendy which I love and the food is phenomenal. Last night I got the double burger and the bun was perfectly buttered and toasted, and the two patties with the cheese was super juicy. It does have a black pepper aïoli on it, which the pepper flavoring is definitely prominent, but it was still very good. I really love the fact that they do Fresh house cut french fries. It's really about the details! They are very known for their corn dog, just trust me, it's super fun. But everything I've ordered is always very good, they used to have the best lamb burger in town and I still dream about it! I also really appreciate that they have an extensive list of drink options from homemade unique cocktails to beer to wine and nonalcoholic beers and mocktails. There is something for everyone. They also have a lot of specials during the week as well as other activities like trivia on Wednesday nights. Their location will be moving in the beginning of 2025 but go check this place out!

The Garage kicks ass. Tons of history, extremely dope vibe, great service, solid sandwiches/soup…read more If you get the chance go check out this historical gem tucked away in Birmingham. Voted one of the top bars to travel to in multiple magazines. The owner basically built a bar around his workshop. The middle looks way better during the summer, but a must visit if in the area.

We had a lovely lunch at the Garage!…read more Their sandwiches are fresh and made to order. It's very straight forward and you choose all of your own toppings. 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!

Yelp…read morepartnered with this business for an event and man- o -man, am I happy that I received an opportunity to experience this Birmingham hidden gem. Such an inviting and comfortable vibe when you walk through the door. The bar was a vibe, the bartender was a vibe and the drinks seemed appealing. But the magic happened in the lounge area with the great entertainment. Loved Sunday Story, got me looking at the calendar for upcoming events. Support this business if you're looking for a nice place to chill and enjoy live entertainment without distractions.

Sat at the bar and for the majority of the time i was the only person there. If this is a "brewery" why did they only have two of their own beers on tap? very strange. I noticed what looked like a board that used to list all their own beers on tap that was abandoned and now just a sad white board lists their two beers and a bunch of other standard beers you can get on tap anywhere. Supposedly they have a kitchen? i saw no menu, or kitchen hours, or anything about any food. Bartender only appeared to refill my glass then quickly disappeared into the back room. If you dont want beer they have a very sad hard liquor selection that looks on par with a college kids apartment. The kicker was when closing out on the ipad the tip amounts were defaulted to 25%, 35% or 45%! Very generous amounts for pouring a beer, i decided to leave my own amount for a tip. Trying not to rag on what sounds like a small family run business, but wow that was bad.
