Their VIP areas are nice and secluded so it actually feels like VIP and not just a table with a sign. The show was nice as always. They added some entertainment to the show. The male dancer was a new addition and the singer also. The erotic poetry was great and the BDSM demo was interesting. Great show. The parking however is quite tricky and you don't know where is okay to park and what will you towed.

To preface, I've been to many bars/lounges/clubs, etc. Rarely am I disrespected or insulted by the staff of these establishments, but when I am, it's usually staffed by my fellow African Americans. In this instance, I made a gaff while ordering...Rather than politely correcting me, the waitress walked away so she could laugh about it with her colleagues; while I'm watching her. After standing around for about five minutes, another waitress came to take my order. I remained composed, placed my order and even left a generous tip. Following this, the original waitress who found my mistake hilarious, came back with a smug look on her face and asked me if I was "Okay." LOL. Right... I wish me and my party had went to the Plum Bar, but this place was free. Never again if I have a say. I'd gladly pay the $10-20 entry fee over there just for the service alone.

This is NOT a review for the bar. It's just a mini review of the Drift Food Truck that's outside…read more I've eaten there many times and have never been disappointed, though not always "Wowed"--and that was only once. The menu varies so don't expect this menu when you go. The smash burger is dependable and good. The duck fries are pretty awesome, but they seem to be super enthused about their house seasoning, almost to the point of obliteration! It's good; They just need to be a little more judicious with it. Pictured are the noteworthy Brussel sprouts: "$10 BRUSSELS' SPROUTS Red wine balsamic glaze, Agrodolce pearl onions, scallions, fried garlic " You can also have them topped with grilled chicken for a few bucks more. Can Brussels be overcooked? Apparently not. These aren't as charred as the photo suggests. The red wine / balsamic reduction adds a lot of color to them. They may look charred but there's no burned taste in the flavor. I know, those poor little Brussels look overwhelmed, but they're not. They were good in my mouth and belly. Be careful not to spill any in the car on the way home, or the next day your car will not be very welcoming to guests.

This place came very highly recommended to us, so when we moved to Birmingham, we couldn't wait to…read moretry it. I love that they switch up the themes and keep the menu rotating! We went very early one Saturday and were the only people in there -- but I won't hold this against them at all, as we are always early birds. The staff were all hanging out in a booth near the door. One bartender eagerly jumped up to help us, but the rest seemed pretty inconvenienced by our presence. Our bartender was great -- very personable and knowledgeable. That's about the only redeeming factor. The menus were tattered and sticky, bar itself was kinda gross, lipstick marks on our glasses, and our drinks were subpar at best. I believe the theme when we went was something about Italy, so there was a lot of potential for creative drinks, but they all seemed pretty uninspired -- think limoncello, Negronis, etc.. Also, some weird blue frozen one, but I can appreciate catering to every crowd! We probably won't be back.

I've previously only ever been to Saturn for concerts, but there is so much more that this venue…read moreoffers. From local coffee, video and board games galore, a full bar (with THC and NA options, bless!), and a live music room, Saturn guarantees a fun outing. You could easily come here and not spend any money- simply sit back with friends and a board game, and your night doesn't have to cost a dime! My boyfriend and I hung out here for the evening playing Scrabble while nursing on a Seltzer. This is truly one of Birmingham's best spots, period. The inside is so unique and thoughtfully decorated. Birmingham is lucky to have a spot like Saturn!

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink. It's relatively dark in here so much more of a romantic vibe.

Moving on, I ordered two cocktails: vitamin sea and out of the office, I think. I explained that I don't like sweet - both were made perfect for me with less syrup. We were there for happy hour, which is $2 off all drinks. I also had their chips and dip (no kitchen menu). 2 drinks and chips = $29. I consider that a little steep for happy hour but this was for the experience. I'd recommend a visit.

Pool tables, booths, music, and lots of people. I hope that Billy's opening back up helps Lakeview become fun again. The last few years with Moe's being closed and multiple incidents at Innisfree, my friends and I have been avoiding the Lakeview strip, but it truly is one of the only blocks in Birmingham where you can bar-hop around. Music: when we arrived, they were playing 'Lavender Haze,' track 1 off of Taylor Swift's Midnights album. They then proceeded to play tracks 2 through 6, in order. This was the most effective way to win me over. I'll be back! Probably way more than I should be! P.S. I believe last call was around midnight last night. Unsure what the usual hours are going to be, but they were busy!
