This place is alot bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. The back bar area is huge, and the perfect place to watch your favorite sports team. They serve food, but this visit we just got drinks. We always go to UpDown across the street and decided to stop in at Fairway Social. They have several golf simulator bays as well as Duck Bowling. Plus a cute hot wheels track. Definitely will be back! read more

Fairway Social has a lively, upscale atmosphere that makes it a solid option for group outings, celebrations, or corporate events. The venue is spacious and has plenty of room for larger parties, creating an energetic social environment. On this visit, we tried the virtual reality games and came away underwhelmed. Some of the equipment needed to fully enjoy the experience was unavailable, and the gameplay itself felt clunky and repetitive after a few rounds. We skipped the food but enjoyed our drinks, and our server, Mike, was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. While the VR attractions were not for us, the overall ambiance left a positive impression. We'd be willing to return to check out the boutique bowling, which looks like it may be the better experience. If you're looking for a fun place to gather with friends, Fairway Social is worth considering, just manage your expectations for the virtual games. read more

Fairway Social hosted our area outing for my job which was about 60 people. Everyone had a great time with the interactive games, and bowling. The most enjoyed was the open speakeasy and patio... the vibe was relaxed and everyone was able to let their hair down. The food was good. We had quite a spread with delicious green beans, chicken fingers, potatoes, burger sliders, chicken wings, and so much more. We had a slight issue with the food being taken away. But FS made it right! Great spot for a date, a girls or guys night, a work team gathering or just a solo chill. read more

Fairway Social - Private event buffet - Sports Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

First time here and it was pretty neat. A little over $50/hr for a bay. Went on a Saturday and did have to wait a while to get an open bay. Staff was nice. A touch disappointed that my left handed clubs were way too big (asked for kids), so the golf game was a little tough for me. I'm surprised the baseball game didn't have a detachable minds to stand on. Overall, very nice. Would bring friends and family here to come for special occasions. We got a pitcher for $20. No food, but people around us got food and it looked good! read more

We came for the games so we experienced that part of the atmosphere. The waitress was very helpful and was attentive. I noticed her assist others with gameplay. I would have made it a 5 star but there was something wrong with the receptors on the game wall in our section. Upper right area did not recognize hits. We were second from the right on the side wall. We had just eaten so we didn't order but the server did check to see if we wanted to order any food. read more

I had seen this place all over social media so I knew I wanted to check it out. It's a lot smaller than what I had envisioned it to be. My friends and I came on a Sunday afternoon just to eat and check out the place since there were no open times to play the simulator. The games looked fun and something I do want to try some day! To drink I ordered the Sand Trap Splash. It was pretty good but a very small sized drink. Our server was kind, but since they did just open there were a few kinks to our order. We ordered the buffalo chicken dip, but got spinach artichoke instead. Then they had made my friend two salads instead of just one. It was no big deal, but something I am sure will only get better over time! It was a very comfortable atmosphere too and somewhere I plan to come back to a lot! read more

Came here to this sports entertainment venue with a group of friends here for some Saturday fun and Fairway Social is a vibe. The service was ok, and the food was decent. I had the pesto flatbread. It was good, but I could have did without the balsamic glaze. It was too sweet. Friend of mine got the lemon pepper wings and she said they were a tad salty. Brussel sprouts and shrimp were good. I didn't get to do the simulators due to them all being used but I plan to come back to play some golf read more

This was my first time visiting this and it was very cool. It was early so nt that many people was there but I saw all of the bays that you can reserve and play all the different games there. I sat at the bar and ordered some IPA from a pretty good bartender who was quite knowledgeable of everything on tap. This place is really huge and can accommodate large parties in my opinion. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely go back. read more

So I've been hearing about Fairway Social and decided to check them out. My guest and I were immediately greeted and seated. We noticed there was a full bar with TVs and quite a few bays that you could purchase to play simulator-type sport games, which included basketball, football, golf, and bowling, just to name a few. I'm not quite sure how many bays there were, but if I had to guess I would say no more than 10. I do suggest that you call and check if you could book a bay in advance. From my understanding, you pay for the bay per hour, not per person. The bays also had TVs as well if you wanted to watch sports or whatever is on at the time. We decided we were just ordering an appetizer as far as food. We ordered the crispy shrimp. This dish was pretty tasty. It definitely was crispy and seasoned fairly well. It also was served hot and fresh. Besides liquor and beer, you can order mocktails. We were told that just about any of the Signature cocktails on the menu could be made as a mocktail, so I decided to try the Blackberry Southside. It was pretty good and refreshing, but not sure why it did not come with mint leaves as the description suggested. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to rent a bay out to play a few games, but definitely will next time. The venue itself was clean, very well lit, and spacious. IMO, I think the venue could use more TVs (I mean you can't have enough TVs to watch sports/football lol). Also I noticed since the front doors were open, it was a little warm and also this allowed flies to come in the venue. As soon as the shrimp came to our table, we were having to shoo away flies, which was a little annoying. If the doors are going to remain open, then maybe some fans/screens/air curtains could be placed at the front so flies won't be able to come into the venue so freely. Despite this, looking forward to coming back and playing some games. read more

Tonight was my first time here and Telvin gave me a great experience. He was such a vibe that I'm going to come here more often the food the drinks were amazing. read more

Food was not worth the price, the buffalo chicken dip came with stale chips and dip tasted mainly just like cheese and little chicken. Our server barely checked on us or refilled our drinks. The place got pretty warm pretty quick so it was disappointing I had an empty water most of the 2 hours. Our screen was stuck loading for 10 minutes and nobody was around for us to ask for help. Only the full swing games actually worked, felt like all the other games needed better calibration as it rarely read the balls. Would not recommend paying peak price, did feel as the price matched the experience. It was pretty loud when the us and the bay next to us were hitting. read more

I'm a 20yr army veteran green beret and I have a disability. I came to fairway because my wife wanted to get away. I have a slight limp when i walk and i felt my waitress chuckled at me every time i had to go to the bathroom, it was a tall light skinned lady who name started with a K. She laughed at me and was conversating. I think her name was Katelyn. I've never felt so embarrassed in my life. read more

Service was decent. Food was ok. Would go back for date night, outing or birthday party. The hot honey pizza is ok, definitely not using Mike's hot honey, it just had a wang that was off. Chicken tenders were good, honey mustard was good. Fries were under cooked no crisp or crunch. read more
