Came here to celebrate a friend's engagement and truly had the best evening. We felt so taken care of my the staff. There was a slight mix up with our reservation, but the staff went above and beyond to make it right. The patio is simple and elegant for a fun night out with friends, and the food is delicious. Truly can't say enough about our experience. read more

I enjoyed my dinner at Juniper and am looking forward to returning. I ordered the duck fat fries (an absolute MUST) and the crab cake. The fries were off the chart amazing. The crab cake was good too, but definitely a little different than I'm accustomed to living in the northeast. I didn't have a cocktail and saw everyone ordering very fancy and incredibly impressive looking drinks....i think I missed out and need to return for one, sooner than later! read more

If you are a fan of Gin you will love Juniper- this is just the place that Birmingham needs. My favorite place to get a variety of gin and tonic. Very intricate artwork and attention to detail. Loved everything from the furniture to the artwork displayed. If not too crowded, I think the back patio is very worth spending some time outside. Also, be sure to get a few photos on the beautiful couch when you walk in. Overall, great staff and a great bar. They have great food selection as well read more

Juniper - New American Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

My friends and I stopped by for some cocktails and this place seriously did not disappoint. The atmosphere is cute with greenery all over and vintage type decor. The cocktails were to die for, if you are a gin person then this place is meant for you. I will note that a few people from my party ordered the expresso martini and since it's made with cold brew and not expresso, the drink was a bit weak. I ordered the juniper julep and East Indian collins- both drinks were lovely. I would love to come back to try more of their food since I saw a few plates on other tables and they looked very yummy. read more

Tucked away like a well-kept secret, Juniper is one of those rare gems that feels like a warm exhale the moment you walk in. Super cozy--dim lighting, lush greenery, velvet accents, and that perfect buzz of conversation humming in the background. It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The drinks are the standout here. Thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and with just enough flair to be interesting without trying too hard. Whether you're in the mood for a fresh twist on a classic or something entirely new, the bartenders know what they're doing. Every cocktail feels intentional and well-executed--nothing overdone, just good. Haven't tried the food yet, but based on everything else, I'm already planning my next visit just to dive into the menu. Juniper is one of those places you visit once and already start recommending to friends. A definite Birmingham favorite in the making. read more

Juniper - Espresso Martini - New American Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Juniper was such a little treat to visit! Visited Birmingham recently for the first time as an adult after moving out of Alabama and was looking for a cool spot to take my gin-loving partner on his first time in Alabama. Juniper did not disappoint. The staff were all so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The drinks were impeccable, from presentation to taste and balance. I don't even like gin, and I loved both of the cocktails we ordered. And the plate of fries was both filling and tasty--the perfect accompaniment to our drinks. We also really loved the ambiance. So beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. If you are in the area and looking for a welcoming, cozy, and unique spot for a perfect cocktail, you've got to stop in. read more

We stopped in here just as they opened to have a few drinks before dinner. The interior is absolutely gorgeous! The menu is very gin forward, which we love, but they have a full bar and have all spirits. We ordered from their happy hour menu, both drinks and fries. The service was pretty good, but the establishment wasn't crowded. I think we will be back. read more

Came here for an afternoon cocktail, and was very delighted to see how cute and quaint this place is. The decor is unique and cozy and gives me an Alice in Wonderland vibe. Got here shortly after opening and they were already buzzing with customers. You have have choice to sit up the bar, the cozy dining area or outside under the cover patio. Ordered the bread service and so glad we did. We were tight on time, so didn't stay long but we will most. Definitely be back to Juniper for dinner and drinks. read more

I stopped at Juniper to pregame before a friend's birthday. My GOSH - is this space gorgeous and welcoming! Whoever designed it lovingly included luxurious texture, color, sparkle, and florals. The whole place is a feast for the senses. The bartender was so kind and helped me figure out what to order. I'm a pretty basic girlie, and I like fruity/herbal drinks, so she guided me to the Buzzword which was citrus-y, refreshing, and bore an edible flower that makes your mouth tingle! Another bartender kindly made conversation with me even though I wasn't ordering anything else for the time being. I can tell this place is run by good people! :) I didn't try the food menu since I was about to head to dinner, but it looked SO GOOD, and the latter bartender mentioned that most items can be made vegetarian/vegan! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for your hospitality, Juniper! read more

Juniper - Buzzword! - New American Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

A friend and I came here on a Friday night. We were able to take part in happy hour and find a seat at the bar! I couldn't believe it. The bartenders were all so fun and helpful! We enjoyed them so much. My friend and I shared the wings and truffle fries. The food was good. Despite me not being a whole wing fan. They did the job. I absolutely loved the French 75s I had! So well made. Great drink selection. Since we know Chef Thyme, he was so gracious to treat us to dessert. My friend and I shared the blueberry crème brûlée and the strawberry bread pudding. Both were YUMMY!! Don't skip dessert, guys! The aesthetics here are beautiful and I love the space. There's a patio area but I didn't get to explore it. Next time! We enjoyed Juniper and can't wait to go back! read more

Such a lovely place. My wife and I had wanted to try it for a while and really enjoyed it. There was about a 30 minute wait at 6:30 on a Saturday. But we didn't mind because it's was such nice vibe and we were offered drinks by a number of staff while we waited. They also apologized many times for the wait, but it didn't seem to us to be out of the norm for a weekend and we didn't mind at all. We started off with the Duck Fat Fries and they were top notch. We devoured them. It took a good 15-20 to get them, but worth the wait. We both got cocktails and really enjoyed them as well. Our entrees were the crab cake and the pork belly sandwich. My wife really enjoyed her crab cake. My pork belly sandwich was a bit of a disappointment. The flavors were really great, but the meat felt overcooked so it was dry and hard to chew. I'd get it again if the meat was more tender. Our waitress was very friendly but also busy with a lot of tables. We loved getting to sit on a love seat couch and the atmosphere was really lovely. Thanks for a great date night. read more

Great place for a refreshing cocktail! Had several gin cocktails that were all great. Service was friendly and attentive.

One of my favorite happy hour places to go when the weather is nice. One of the best patios in the city.

Oh do I love this place. I can not rave enough about the indoor and outdoor venue, the drinks, or the food. You MUST get a house gun and tonic, the buzz word (bite the flower- you won't regret it!), the duck fries, and the veggie plate. Always great service. Always great food. Always great drinks. You're welcome for the recommendation of a night you won't regret!!!! read more

15 ladies made a reservation to enjoy your restaurant, the vibe and the food and drinks! Our server was a good guy but everything else about our experience was sub par and the vibe was very unwelcoming. We were sat outside in our beautiful Kentucky Derby outfits not inside with the air conditioning and photo opportunity was not there for me and others because after half the group had discretely went back inside to take pictures a few at a time, the 3rd group of 3 ladies was asked by the manager to keep their seats upstairs so we would not be distracting and disturbing to the other customers. BIG Mistake! We were all prepared to drop $100-$200 each on drinks and food! We cashed out after we ate the appetizers which were ok but would've been better had they been sent out with forks and plates. I have been in food service a long time and have never felt more disappointed! This is not how you treat your guests! We had planned on bragging all about Juniper and sharing lots of wonderful Kentucky Derby photos to advertise for you within our Skinfluencer advertising! We would've returned with family and friends but never again! Also there was a funky sewer smell near the stairwell that the manager should've handled yesterday because today they have a plumbing issue. read more

First time here and was a birthday celebration dinner. I had no idea what to expect but my companion and I were pleasantly surprised! To start the location is where Little Savannah previously was located. Then the decor and seating was delightful, so wonderfully eclectic. This is a gin based lounge that serves a few bites of yummy. My companion and I both decided on no liquor, as gin is not our favorite. For our meals we opted for Bottega burgers and fries. The burger was very good but the fries...they were exceptional. I have food temperature issues and fries are a thing for me, these fries were perfect and stayed hot for quite sometime. All in all, a great experience. Service was good. read more

I love coming here for drinks. They have all the Gins and all the normal stuff, but focus on Gin. Still waiting to try the menu. read more

Service was fine, most of the drinks were good, but let's talk food. Apparently they've had a chef change and some menu items changed. They still have the fries, but no wings, and a lot of the items were subpar on flavor and prep. The caesar salad consisted of mostly whole raddichio leaves without a caesar style dressing. The curry chicken eggroll was also surprisingly bland. I had heard good things about this place, but it was a letdown for me. read more

We stopped at Juniper looking for a nice dinner while we were heading to Southern Mississippi. While the menu was small, the dishes we had were delicious and exquisite. The drinks were also quite tasty - more so for my partner who loves gin, but I found things I enjoyed as well. We'd happily stop in again. read more

Great trendy neighborhood vegan spot to have a cocktail or a meal. The vibe is artsy and eclectic. Great customer service as soon as you enter the spot. No one's spitting out sunshine and rainbows. Just a cool, what type of seating are you in the mood for? (patio, want to be seen or private conversation) very new and refreshing. The food ingredients were fresh and tasty. So many spices were dancing on my tongue. The sauces were spicy and the bread was hitting all the tastebuds! I would definitely go back! read more

Love, love, love this place. This week I went 3 nights in a row. I have yet to try their food, but I would like to next time! You honestly can't go wrong with any of their drinks. They've had a massive menu glowup since when they first opened. I love the Nolet's gin with the Lime and Yuzu tonic. The portion is hefty, and it's a beautifully decorated drink. Service is stellar and prompt even when busy. I also loved the seasonal hot lemon ginger tea. It comes with the most delightful chewy ginger candy. Can't even taste the gin! I will be returning time and again with new people to show them the absolute immaculate vibes of this place. read more

Wow the food is so good here. Everyone is so friendly too. When I walked in, I noticed the candlelit atmosphere and I wasn't fully sure if I would be able to walk in without a reservation, but she got me a table right away. I got the crab cake (the real one ;P) and it was soooo good. The crab cake was flavorful and the salad was also really good; it may look simple but it's not something you would normally get at home. I honestly loved my whole meal so I decided to try dessert and I got the blueberry crème brûlée. That was really good as well. All in all ten out of ten. You should definitely stop in. Ohh yeah and did I mean room the decor..I know it's a good place but someone put a lot of effort into making it uniquely elegant. It's so pretty! read more
