Mayawell Bar - Happy hour - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Came here for a holiday cocktail class and Rickey was the bartender and he set the vibes for the night.

This is a really cute cocktail bar! I enjoyed two different drinks during my recent visit. The bartender and manager were super engaged, so that was cool! The space outside is unassumingly huge as in spacious. I enjoyed it but I was cold so that was short lived! Lol. The inside is so relaxing and is the perfect backdrop to sip on your delicious cocktail! First time but won't be the last time. I'll be back! read more

This is a great place to stop in for drinks. The house drink are so creative, and super delicious. There's usually a food truck so this could be your one stop shop for an evening with friend. The interior is decorated in a classic and moody feel, but seating is not extensive inside, Luckily they have rooftop seating, as well back patio seating. To make this location better, it's in walking distance to Sidebar, Nanafunks, TinRoof, and etc. read more

Mayawell is my favorite, favorite bar downtown. They have the most amazing craft cocktails. The ingredients are usually unexpected surprises that when combined, make the perfect drink. The bartenders are always so friendly and helpful, especially my favorite Rickey. I love Mayawell so much that I hosted my birthday there this year!! They offer group and private cocktail making classes, which is a wonderful time. Rickey led my birthday class and it was absolutely amazing. My group was so impressed with the experience, the custom menu, and drinks. Mayawell will always hold a special place in my heart! I'll be back soon! read more

Unique, tasty, and super friendly. Friends and I went for drinks after work and had a fantastic and relaxing experience. We were taken care of by Stormy and she was wonderful. She knew the Sri is, made them to perfection, and checked in on us just enough to not be annoying. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here to celebrate a friendaversary on a Wednesday during happy hour after grabbing dinner close by and had a great time overall! The happy hour special was $3 off menu margaritas. I got the mango marg and my friend had the spicy one. We found street parking easily and sat outside, which was nice and relaxed. However, after someone took our order and brought out our drinks, no one ever came back to check on us--not even to offer a second round. It wasn't busy, so that part felt a little disappointing. Would come back, just hoping for a bit more attentive service next time! read more

There are so many things to love about Mayawell! The bar is located on one of the main corners in the Avondale area, right near Pepper Place. The inside has lots of nice decor and lighting. They also have an outdoor patio and rooftop searing area, which is my fav. I love to watch the sunset with a cocktail in the evening. They do a good job of incorporating seasonal flavors and have good happy hour specials! The Mezon Catering food truck is also on the property and it is DELICIOUS! The street burrito is my favorite but don't sleep on the quesadillas or chips n queso They even serve bruch, which I highly recommend. The staff inside the bar and food truck are super helpful if you need recommendations and service is pretty quick even when it's busy. Mayawell is a sure fire late night or daytime (Saturday) fun! read more

I had passed Mayawell several times on my way to other places and finally decided to stop by last night. This is considered an agave tequila bar. They advertise a selection of 85 + agave spirits. They don't serve food, but the night we went the Mezcal food truck was there. I highly recommend their chicken burrito. Mayawell has an extensive cocktail menu with 11 signature cocktails and 11 classic cocktails. They also serve wine and cans or bottles of beer. From the outside, it looks like a small place, but there is plenty of seating inside and in the back. I loved the intimate nooks and crannies that were all around. There is even a small rooftop seating area. The only drawback is that they need a bigger bar. When we visited there were lots of people working behind the bar, but it still took a long time to get drinks. They offer table service, which is great, but the time between ordering and receiving your drink is a lot. Hopefully, they can work this out. Overall this is a good place. The vibe is great, and the drinks are good. They just need a bigger bar area. read more

I wanted to love Mayawell, I've heard so many things about it. The ambiance was cool, albeit loud. We were shown where to sit by a member of the staff at the bar, but then we were studiously ignored until we gave up and left. It was a Saturday night, but only 7pm. Not so busy we could understand getting no service at all. Do better, guys. read more

Excellent place to come to for a cocktail. Nice interior, feels welcoming and comfortable inside. I tried the Figgly Wiggly cocktail. It's a tequila drink with ginger, fig, lemon and clove. It was herbal and refreshing. My boyfriend got the Adventures in Wonderland which was also a really nice earthy cocktail. Both weren't too sweet and were well-balanced. read more

The service was excellent and I loved the spicy margarita. I love the ambience and the vibe there.

The service was fantastic and the ambiance was a chill place. They had a very large tequila selection as well as mixed drinks. The staff was helpful with suggestions/recommendations. Only took off one star because space/seating we saw inside was a bit limited for our group of 6-had it of been a busy evening we likely wouldn't have been able to stay long and be seated. They did appear to have an upstairs, so this may not be the case for busier nights. Otherwise this is a great cozy place to have some fun with fantastic staff. read more

This is such a cute place! Great happy hour special drinks and a helpful staff. I just got fries (Which were good) from the food truck but a few of the others in our group ordered some of the more popular items (tacos, nachos, loaded fries..). Everyone said the food was good! There's a rooftop seating area and covered outdoor seating area. read more

Came here for an office happy hour on a Thursday and the vibes were good. Tried a seasonal cocktail (sugar and spice I think?) which was pretty good. The servers lingered around for refills which was nice. Would come back! read more

This place is eye opening. It is definitely a rave about in Birmingham. They have plenty of staff to take care of their customers. The seating is great too. Mayawell has several areas that can be reserved for medium to large groups. Be sure to call ahead. There are plenty of drinking options on the menu. The bar changes the menu out seasonally, I found out from our waitress. I like a place that doesn't carry the same boring menu 12 months in a row. They are pricey so be aware. Lastly there are not a lot of food options around., however a Taco Truck is on site for your munchie needs. read more

Good drinks, great atmosphere. My two gripes here are the size of your mixed drinks and prices. I don't mind paying for a good drink. And the drinks at Mayawell are delicious. But could you possibly make them any smaller? Come on now. Love your place, but these may quite possibly be the smallest mixed drinks I have ever seen in my life. It is for this reason that I minimize my trips to Mayawell. It is just not good value for the money. read more

Great spot for awesome margs of most any flavor. The staff is amazing and Jay will take great care of you. My go to spot for a Mary and even has rooftop sitting outside. read more

When you walk in you are welcomed by walls that all have unique pieces on it. Plenty of seating inside and out. Really cool mural outside and a food truck! I have been here twice and enjoyed every drink I've ordered. The staff is very friendly and I enjoy their drinks because it has unique ingredients. They do a great job with presentation and I like their paper straws. I will definitely be back and would like to try the food truck. read more

As soon as I walked in I was pretty impressed by the scenery. It's more spacious than I thought it would be and is nicely air conditioned (very important) lol! I asked for the sweetest drink on the menu and I forget the exact name of the drink but it's something with peach. My fiancé got the strawberry margarita which was amazing! The service was also very quick but we went at 9pm on a Saturday so it wasn't very packed. Would definitely come back! read more

The vibe is so chill indoor and out. The top deck is my favorite spot. I have not had a drink that was not good. Now, the most important thing to note about Mayawell is the food truck. They have the best black bean burger in Bham. Add egg! It's great. The pepper jelly is delicious. The truffle fries are great as well. If you like tres leche cake, you have to try theirs. It's delicious! read more

Love this place! If not on a weekend, you can catch a drink and a taco here with ease and both will be delicious. My go to is the spicy marg with a Reposado of the bartender's choosing. The tequila + mezcal selection is one of the best in the city, and the bartenders are knowledgeable. We've been taught a thing or two from our fave bartender there, Deangelo. There's a taco truck set up on the side of the building and has always been open when I've popped in. I stick with tacos, but there are tots, a burger, etc. The inside is dark, vibey, and fun. If it's a nice night, sit on the roof. read more

Another addition to the effervescent and growing bar scene here in Bham. Mayawell brings a fresh new tequila and mezcal themed bar to the lake view area. I've had the opportunity to visit a few times and each time I came away a little more impressed with the venue. They also have a food truck in the back with food specials to assist with the accompaniment of your beverage. The spot is great for groups, date night or solo you take your pick. Staff is nice and friendly definitely take a visit. read more

Mayawell Bar is a cute and cozy new addition to the Lakeview district. They are an Agave Spirits Bar, which may sound a little intimidating at first. However, with both classics like margaritas and house specials that are a bit more eccentric, this place has something for everyone. We tried the Berry Berry drink and the Carajillo. Both drinks were tasty, but the Carajillo was amazing! It was not warm, but tasted like a slightly spiked hot cocoa. It has kahlua whipped cream on top. The thing that stands out to me the most, however, is the atmosphere here- think comfy seating and warm, dimmer lighting that makes the space feel more like a friend's trendy apartment than a lounge. Noise level is just right so you can easily carry a conversation without shouting. They have a pretty back patio area. Unfortunately I visited on a cold and rainy day but I think it would be great to sit outside during the warmer months. Came on a Tuesday and they had a taco truck in the back - not sure if they do this every week. Knocking a star off for the food. Unfortunately the veggie quesadilla was just okay...very greasy. Other than that, the staff were very sweet and welcoming and we had an overall good experience. read more

The bar is definitely a vibe, the owner or manager was working by himself( sorry Mr buff bartender my memory is bad)and was on top of everything. My husband is as picky of a drinker as there is but the guy made him a tequila drink that he LOVED! I had a spicy margarita and then he made me a custom tequila drink with butterfly pea syrup. I wish I had taken pictures of them but was too excited to try them. My husband got a drink with artichoke and tequila, he was suspect about it at first but had 2 of em. The music was sooo good then found out the bartender was also the DJ it's literally a place to go. We will be back and taking a cocktail class there as well! read more

Ooo it's so cute. "Instagramable" as my fellow millennials would call it. Agave city in here! Don't worry, there is also a nice selection of beer and wine if you are not much of a tequila and mezcal fan. My girlfriend and a couple of our friends met here for a little social drinking. I had one of those "give me whatever you suggest" nights with the bartenders and I cannot say that I was disappointed at the slightest. "Unknown Pleasures" started me off. I adored the balance of citrus to tequila and mezcal. "Bourbanham" won me over. Unfortunately it was my girlfriend's drink and not mine. lol I adore old fashions so of course this would make sense. I don't remember what the other 2 drinks were, but they were also delicious. Stop by and enjoy this cozy bar. read more
