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.

Sloan's Bourbon Bar never misses. The night I went, they were hosting a WhistlePig tasting, and it…read morewas such a great experience. 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

They also have other fun events including for example, a date night beer event and from what I was told, they occasionally have live bands. The atmosphere was very energetic and enjoyable. The staff were super friendly as well. I was able to get a flight of beers and must say, the Pineapple beer was super refreshing and lite...not overly sweet either. They also have ciders and wine if you're not much of a beer drinker. They also have options if you want to host an event there. Will definitely come back to visit.

Really cool brewery. I was excited to see they actually make their own ciders here because we are…read morecider people. I was able to same each of the three flavors that they had prior to purchase. They had raspberry lime, pineapple, and peach mango. The pineapple was just okay but I really enjoyed the other two. Since I've been drinking a lot of peach cider lately, I decided to get a glass of the raspberry lime. Really good. They also make their own wine so I had a flight of the blueberry, blackberry, and the peach. My favorite was the peach. Blackberry was very good. The blueberry was my least favorite. They have a food truck every night so that is really nice if you want dinner. I saw they also offer a variety of snacks for the table. They seem to have quite a few events so check the calendar. We chatted a lot with 2 of the staff members, Rachel and Shay. They were super nice. Ambiance is very chill and you can bring your dog on a leash. We are excited to come back here since they offer more than just beer and I can't wait for their fall ciders!!

Would recommend coming to try any of their bourbon selection because they have a big one!!

It's housed in what used to be an old elementary school, now converted into an incredible hangout spot. Inside, there's a full bar with an impressive rotating tap list displayed on a giant chalkboard, each beer listed with a number and description to make choosing easy. Beyond the drinks, there's plenty to do -- a small arcade, a virtual mini golf business in the back, outdoor seating, and yard games like cornhole and giant Connect Four. The vibe is relaxed, social, and full of energy without feeling crowded. I ordered two flights and loved the variety and quality across the board. Between the atmosphere, drinks, and entertainment, this is easily one of the best spots in the Birmingham area. A definite must-visit whether you're a local or just passing through.

Brewery #429 I have…read morebeen to over 30 breweries in the state of Alabama, and Cahaba is my favorite. It has everything you want in a brewery; really good beer, solid food menu, fun vibe and lots to do. The beer: The most important part. I was surprised their beer was as good as it was because their signature is a basic blonde ale. Cahaba has beers that are anything but basic. I got a flight with an African Saison, a Southern Feistbeer, River Haze (hazy IPA) and a blood orange blonde. Everything was delicious. The space is large with lots of picnic tables inside a climate-controlled warehouse, a bunch of video games, pinball machines and skeeball. They distill their own spirits as well and had a cocktail menu featuring those spirits. The full-time food truck outside had a solid looking menu. Sadly, I had eaten before I came because their smashburger and wings looked amazing at the table next to me.

Tucked into Main…read moreStreet in Columbiana, this cocktail and spirits lounge nails the balance between polished and welcoming -- the drinks are crafted with real care, but nobody's going to make you feel out of place for ordering something simple. The menu keeps things interesting by staying in motion. Rather than a static list, the offerings evolve, and the staff genuinely seem to want your input -- mention a spirit you love or a flavor you're chasing, and they'll run with it. Just don't hold them to any specific promise; the vibe is more "let's see what we can do" than guaranteed customization, and honestly, that spontaneity is part of the charm. Special shoutout to Max behind the bar -- hands down the best bartender in the place. Attentive, skilled, and just the right amount of personality to make every visit feel like more than a transaction.

For the month of March, they have live music.
