A buddy of mine and i were in town and supposed to go to the Birmingham Barons game but I messed up…read morethe time and we would have been an hour late, so we skipped it. We decided to find a place in the area that had live music and Tin Roof came up. We walked in and the place had a decent crowd but not busy. I walked up to the bar and saw they only had domestic beer on tap so asked if they had any N/A options for my buddy and if they had any IPA's for me. The unwarranted shitty attitude of the bartender was as if I asked him to make me a long island iced tea with a line of 30 people at the bar. It was just me and I simply wanted him to give me a can of beer. He gave a snide remark about it being a bar when I asked about the N/A options and just gave me an IPA in a can from Good People brewing. I guess that's the only one they had, or he just decided it's what I was getting. The beer was good, but I wanted to see my options. We sat in the courtyard and listened to the 1-man band, aka a guy with a guitar. He played a variety of stuff and was decent. The courtyard was a decent place to chill. I went back to get another beer and asked if they had any different IPA's, I got an eye roll and a nope. I decided to bounce. I didn't want to hang out with Captain Douchepickle the bartender anymore. The place was fine, and if the dipshit isn't working, I am sure it would be better.

The food was delicious. The service was five stars. The lights were perfect for a romantic night.read more

My husband planned a date for us today. Neither of us had been to Eighty Eight before so tonight…read morewas a new experience for both of us. Parking wasn't bad because there's a parking garage right behind Eighty Eight. When we entered, we were greeted and escorted to our seats. Note: I suggest buying VIP tickets so you have a guaranteed seat. A DJ played music, which was comprised of a good mix. The show was supposed to start at 9:30 pm, but it didn't start until around 10:15 pm. I understand things can happen so I'm going to give them a little grace this time. We ordered drinks, wings, and fries. The food was great! I believe it came from Sleek. The drinks were good. As for the entertainment, it was phenomenal! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and we would go back.

There were 4 full wings with fries for $10. The DJ mainly played line dance music but I was there invited by a line dance instructor to do likewise. He did do a good job.

I ordered the fried snapper and garlic mashed potatoes. I didn't know it also came with collard greens and cornbread. EVERYTHING was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I've never had good seasoned, clean tasting collard greens at a restaurant. My husband ordered the Rasta pasta that came with shrimp, chicken, and sausage. It was seasoned with its spices to perfection. Let's just say we shared each other's food. LOL I highly recommend Casanova and will be back to experience their weekend brunch.

It does have a club feel so if you don't like loud music I wouldn't recommend. I only ordered the bacon and gouda grits side, they tasted pretty good. I would say that the grits were a little thick I prefer mine looser, they were on a plate instead of bowl but adding butter made it better. I also had an espresso martini and it had a nice cocoa flavor, I hope to be able to try the frozen espresso martini. They said they don't always have it so it's a hit or mess with being able to try. One of the people in my party had the fried snapper and allowed me to try it. The batter was really seasoned so it was extremely good in the future I would want to have that for my meal. The service was nice but overall it was a little slow. When it is time to pay be sure to look over your receipt not sure if it's due to our group being large or in general but the gratuity was automatically added. I didn't realize this so when it was all said and done I ended tipping nearly 50% on my ticket. Overall I will say if invited I would go again, I'm curious to see how the experience is with a smaller group. **Also wanted to mention the patio was not open YET but they did say it will be open for summer, so if volume is a deterrent you might be able to enjoy the food and drinks with less volume.**

New Jersey Born But BIRMINGHAM ROOTS…read more I had the opportunity to visit The Shop @ 1417 during my family's reunion weekend in Birmingham, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. After our Friday night all-white meet-and-greet dinner, our group wanted to keep the celebration going, so we headed over to The Shop. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible. Admission was only $5 per person, the music was on point, and the energy was nothing but positive. The DJ immediately noticed our group dressed in all white and asked what the occasion was. When we told him we were in town for a family reunion and had family from New Jersey, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Dallas, and other places, and that our family name is White, he gave us shout-outs throughout the entire night. That personal touch made us feel truly welcomed. The venue itself is unique. I was told it used to be a mechanic shop, and it's been transformed into a spacious entertainment venue with both indoor and open-air vibes. The fans kept the place cool, there was plenty of room to dance, and the setup was perfect for a grown-and-sexy crowd. Our group had an amazing time. There were only two men in our party and nine women, and everyone danced the night away. The bartender--if I remember correctly, I think her name was Crystal--was friendly, attentive, and helped make the experience even better. The owner was welcoming, the staff was great, and the regulars made us feel like we belonged. If you're ever in Birmingham and you're looking for a laid-back spot with great music, great people, and an unforgettable vibe, I highly recommend The Shop @ 1417. We'll definitely be back the next time our family is in town.

This was maybe my second or third time visiting. It's a great little cool spot with live music…read moreand a DJ. It's definitely an intimate place. Once inside I remembered why I don't visit often. It's too loud. The place is small so the sound is truly amplified. It's hard to hear yourself think let alone have a conversation. So if you're going for a date night, don't plan to talk a lot because it's hard to hear. After we left my ears were ringing. The singer last night was Adonna B. She was pretty good, she had a very sultry voice that definitely impressed the crowd. The bar tenders were great. They worked quickly and efficiently. There was never a long wait. Also, theere was one with rainbow hair that created a whiskey drink for one of my friends. It was sweet, and refreshing. It's nice when a bar tender actually has knowledge of the the liquors and what to pair them with. The only reason this pacee doesn't get 5 stars is because of the noise level. It's more than I can really stand.

Tucana Tiki is a great experience from start to finish when you walk in it's like traveling to an…read moreisland oasis. They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste
