They have a dog in there that is aggressive and if you touch that dog it will bite. The waitress was very ugly and told me that I shouldn't touch the dog in his bed. I had already petted the dog while it was walking around. We didn't spend a dime and we left, total bad vibes.

We were wondering why there's only a handful of bars in the area and why they all close early early like 10 it 11 pm. Regardless, we stayed till about 1 or 2 am, drinking and singing karaoke with the two other customers and the awesome bartender who picked out all the songs for us. There's a large open room behind the bar room which has some fold away tables setup. Looks like it could hold a crowd for busy nights or maybe if they have live bands? Bar is well stocked with your typical spirits and beers. We were only there one night so we didn't get to poke around too much. Definitely recommend the Alabamah Slammah though, tasty and deliciously strong. Check this place out, maybe it was the booze but we had a great time.

The sound system is on par with larger clubs and bars in the metro area. Decent sized dance floor with small lighting effects makes this a great place to let loose. Unless there is a dart tournament going on. Plentiful seating, HDTVs on most walls and a friendly atmosphere make this a great place to unwind during or after a long week. I would definitely check it out.

I was in Pell city visiting a customer and stopped in at Tavern at the Saint Clair for lunch. I ordered a blackened chicken sandwich and collard greens. Both were fantastic!

The restaurant it self is unassuming and very casual. You will feel right at home here in shorts and flip flops. The food is the real gym. We had the grouper, and it tasted like it came off the boat that morning. Great flavor, tender and flaky, just like it should be. The season was on point, flavorful but not overpowering. I added the fried ahumó and glad I did. They were perfect. My wife added the crab cake, and that was excellent as well. Plenty of crab meat and not too much stuffing. If you are looking for fresh, authentic gulf seafood, this is the place to go. I can't wait for my mom to come to town from Nashville this will be a must eat for her.

Bottom line: going back to "The Ark" very dissatisfied with flavorless food and slow kitchen!!My…read moreson and I were told about this restaurant which is close to CMP Talledega Marksmanship Park. We have in past gone to "The Ark" A bit smaller, less emphasis on alcohol but excellent. We came fish market on way out of town since near Marksmanship park for "D Day" Rifle matches. Unfortunately, bottom line is the food was "OK" but IMHO we both agreed the food and service was much better at "The Ark" ; our meals tonight were bland and kitchen slow. Took almost 40 minutes to get our meal. My son's "chicken sandwich " was two chicken tenders. My 2 whole catfish dinner 1 side (green beans) was fresh hot but not much flavor. Service was good. The menu is very extensive with steaks etc . But menu was overwhelming too. While this may be popular with locals, we prefer "The Ark" smaller yet just as busy, better tasting food and more desirable sides and food came up much quicker. Don't expect to return as we agree "The Ark" is hands down tastier food.
