The bartenders are super attentive and the drink variety is exceptional. One half is a quiet restaurant type area and the other half has pinball and video games. I tell anyone coming to town who wants a break from students but a chill place to drink that this is the spot.

Rounders is definitely a hit-or-miss kind of bar. The drinks are way overpriced, but it is a…read morecollege bar, so I guess that comes with the territory. I'd honestly recommend pre-gaming before you go, because the cover charge is usually around $25 just to get in. It is still fun, though. The place has three different rooms -- a club-style dance room with smoke and flashing lights, a bar area, and an upstairs dance floor with a DJ -- so you can kind of pick your vibe for the night. The bartenders are okay, but they can be a little rude sometimes, which is a downside. Also, the floors are slippery asf most nights, so watch your step. Overall, Rounders can be a good time if you go with the right group and know what you're getting into. Fun vibes, but definitely pricey.

The Houndstooth is a T-town landmark sports bar. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon during a…read moreCrimson Tide football game on TV. It has ample seating indoors and on a large street side patio. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. There are dozens of large screen TV's throughout providing good viewing of the Alabama game. We ordered some adult beverages and some bar food (wings, rings, fries and quesadillas). We were surprised when the food arrived at the bar in cardboard "to go" style boxes. ??? (The bar food comes from a related take-out place next door.). The food was good but the wings were very small (sparrow wings?) and the onion rings were disappointing as rings go - over cooked, breading crumbly and greasy. Alabama won the game clinching yet another SEC-West title. The place erupted in cheers and the bar cranked up Sweet Home Alabama which got everyone singing. Five stars for the ambience and service but three for the food. Hey, it's a sports bar, so I wasn't expecting a super gastronomic experience. Lots of spirit and energy on game day. The Houndstooth rocks. Roll Tide!!

My wife and I stopped by Innisfree today for their legendary meat and three, and as always--it did…read morenot disappoint. It's been a few years since my last visit, but back when I worked closer to downtown, this place was a weekly (sometimes twice-a-week) lunch ritual. Man, this spot is awesome for lunch! Now, if you try to come on a weekend--good luck. The place is packed to the gills, and the folks lined up outside aren't there for the turnip greens, if you catch my draft, I mean drift. They're here for the other "festivities"... the bar. But let's talk food. Whether you're circling your favorite meat and three combo or grabbing something off their regular menu, you can't go wrong. Their meat and three is like stepping straight into Granny's kitchen on a cool October Sunday afternoon. I went with the country fried steak, Caesar salad, fried okra, turnip greens, and--because I'm not a quitter--a helping of blackberry cobbler. Every bite was fantastic. My wife went with the fried catfish, paired with black-eyed peas, fried okra, and of course, the same irresistible blackberry cobbler to top it off. Her meal was every bit as delicious as mine (not that I didn't try to sneak a bite or two for quality assurance purposes). The background music today was a dose of pop, with Ingrid Michaelson's The Way I Am setting a nice, mellow vibe--pretty fitting for a lunch date with my wife. Soft and pleasant... though, if I'm being honest, I'd trade Ingrid for a little Metallica or any one of those glorious 80s hair bands in a heartbeat. Nothing says "meat and three" like a little Pour Some Sugar on Me, right? These days, a meal I used to enjoy weekly has become a rare treat, but today's visit reminded me why I loved it so much. The outdoor seating is perfect for a crisp fall or breezy spring day, TVs are plastered all around so you won't miss your favorite team (Roll Tide, of course), and there's even a pool table if you're feeling like hustling a game or two. The lunch staff is fast and friendly, and if you haven't experienced this Tuscaloosa gem, do yourself a favor and step inside for their lunch menu. Just maybe leave the late-night crowd to the younger folks--they've got more energy (and stronger eardrums) for that scene than I do!

Son said he went back a few weeks later with a few college friends who are older then he is and they said they love this hole in the wall.

The drinks are really well-priced, especially midweek, and you HAVE to try their frozen alcoholic slushies... they're insanely good.

There aren't a ton of places to sit, but honestly it's still a great time whether you're with a group or just stopping in for a chill night out. Overall, Red Shed is one of those easy, go-to places when you just want good music, good drinks, and a good vibe

The owner of this bar knows how to keep things looking clean and in tip top shape. I'm serious about the cleanliness and the ladies bathroom is never out of order or disgusting. This is a rarity for Tuscaloosa and most college towns. I attended school at UA and lived in Athens, GA while working at UGA so I know this for a fact. So far so good and I hope they keep it up! Overall, 1831 is a great place to enjoy yourself after an Alabama game during football season with friends for a variety of reasons. It has good local beer from some of the emerging area Tuscaloosa breweries (Black Warrior, Druid City, etc), plenty of selections from Birmingham's amazing breweries (Avondale, Trim Tab, or Good People), friendly staff and bartenders, routinely has good local rock and funk bands playing, and is a place to meet the fun loving people who pack it on the weekend. 1831 is a must stop for anyone doing bar hopping from out of town in Tuscaloosa and a great new place for locals too!
