You can truly taste the creativity and quality in every sip. My favorite was the Raspberry Rose Margarita--made with fresh raspberries they puree in-house! The flavor was incredible and definitely one of the best margaritas I've had. If you're in Birmingham and love elevated cocktails, Bygones is a must-try!

I hate it that I can't remember his name...but if you go at the right time and get to meet him, I bet you'll remember!

We will definitely be back!

It is so beautifully decorated. A great place to have coffee with friends or just bring your laptop and work. My favorite is the iced coffee with salted caramel cold foam on top. They also have pastries from Sunshine Bakery for sale here. I've had the sausage croissant, and it's delicious! Service here is also phenomenal.

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.

I met up with some friends here for Sunday brunch. This was my first time here for brunch. When I…read morearrived, my friends were already seated. I was happy because this is a popular spot. It WAS busy! We ordered pretty quickly. I had steak and eggs (medium on both). The temp was perfect on the eggs but the steak was slightly overcooked. I'll go medium rare next time. I did enjoy my choice. I did NOT enjoy having to eat my steak with a butter knife! Haha I also had a $5 mimosa. This price was a pleasant surprise. My friends had the BEC Sammy and steak and eggs. They enjoyed their meals as well. They also had coffee which smelled delicious! Our server did a good job. I forgot how aesthetically beautiful Juniper is....... I'll be back soon just to enjoy the ambiance!

I'm a bit torn because I felt this place was great but my fellow revelers (aka my husband and…read moreinlaws) felt the service was off. For my part, I thought the cocktail I had was fantastic. My husband and FIL liked theirs too. My MIL felt there was barely any alcohol in hers but I cannot confirm. We did have a hiccup with the bill being completely wrong (and we were overcharged twice) but it was all settled. There were not very many people at the bar for a Friday night. But perhaps it's a more late(r) night place. We are all geriatric in our party (sort of). I didn't mind and it seemed to be picking up when we were leaving. Overall decent, but maybe I miss Pale Eddie's just a bit.

I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour. If you love bourbon and want a polished, elevated experience in Birmingham, Sloan's is the place

You go through the Armour House restaurant and down the stairs to get there. When we arrived there, there was a line out the door. We had a party of six, so we put our name down for one of the booths. It took awhile to be seated, but once we were. It was totally worth it. The booths were large and private and easily sat six people. My favorite drink was the Banana Mai Tai mocktail.

This is the same process as Bamboo on 2nd -- same owners. No reservations, just have to get there and give them your phone number. Luckily there's several other good bars nearby you can wait at! I love the concept of drinks and dessert. And I love the name "Nightcap." Perfect. It seems like they source most, if not all, of the desserts from local bakers. I have a slice of the plain ol cheesecake from Sorelle's in Homewood and it was FANTASTIC. One of the best pieces of cheesecake I've ever had. The wine and cocktail menu is extensive. Prices are standard for a spot like this, $10-16 per drink. Our service was great. The decor inside is super fun. The wallpaper is incredible. I'll definitely be back.
