    So much has changed since my last visit here. Whew it's been a minute. They are now serving food. I…read morewasn't too blown away with their food menu. They were out of many beers. I ordered their IPA but was brought out something else. This was quickly resolved. I enjoyed the IPA. There was a private party in the upstairs portion. This seems like a decent spot to have a small gathering. By adding food to the menu this is indeed a PLUS. Staff was cool. My server was new.

    This place was seriously hopping last night....definitly not what I expected on a random Monday…read morenight! Walked in around 8:30pm last night, it was packed and everyone looked like they were having a great time! Apparently Monday nights are Bingo nights and, of course, we joined in on the fun. Everyone was super friendly and playing Bingo was pretty exciting actually lol. Besides the wide variety of beers available, they also have a menu with a good selection of food items that are reasonably priced. Surprisingly, the place is family friendly and kids would definitely love their root beer. I saw an adorable little girl going around helping people by collecting used Bingo sheets. She deserved a tip, haha. Oak Mountain Brewing Company is pretty spacious and would work well for events or work functions. I was too busy playing Bingo last night to check out their upstairs spacing, but it seems like a good area for private parties or just for people watching. I will have to check it out next time!

    Love Back Forty, along with the rest of Birmingham. There's always so much going on here,…read moreespecially when the weather is good. Tons of kids and dogs outside. People often host their own little parties and events at the picnic tables here. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it seemed like a lot of families came for lunch and to hang out after church. The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.

    Located right next to Sloss Furnaces, this is a fantastic place to grab a beer, catch the big game,…read moreand enjoy a solid meal with friends. They've got a huge selection of beers and a full dinner menu, so there's something for just about everyone. Whether you're coming for drinks or planning to eat, you won't feel limited. Parking is plentiful, which is always a win in Birmingham, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It works well for small groups or larger parties. One thing to know going in: this isn't really a full-service setup. You order and pick up your own food, and aside from someone occasionally clearing empty pint glasses, there's not much table service. We actually didn't receive utensils with our food and had to go back up to the counter to grab some. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. I ordered the catfish sandwich with fries. The sandwich itself was delicious -- crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. My only small gripe was that it came in a to-go box. I understand it probably makes cleanup easier for them, but it does take away a bit from the dine-in experience. The fries were shoestring style, which just aren't my personal favorite. They're fine, but I always feel like I need about three handfuls to feel satisfied. We went on a Saturday night and the brewery was packed -- and I mean packed. It was very loud and definitely more of a party atmosphere than a relaxing dinner vibe. If you're looking for a quiet night out, this probably isn't it. But if you want energy, beer, sports on TV, and a fun crowd, this place delivers. Overall, it's a great hangout spot to catch a game, grab a drink, and enjoy good food -- just expect a lively, high-energy scene.
