I love this place! Everyone is so nice and helpful, especially Janet! They have an incredible…read moreselection of hard liquor and my favorite craft beers! Oh and don't forget the draft beer by the gallon!! All at reasonable prices to boot!

Decent store here. Pricing is okay I guess (for Alabama non-ABC store prices (which also aren't…read morecheap)). Selection isn't massive but probably have something along the lines of what you might be looking for at any given time. Fair craft/local brew selection in the cooler... especially for the size of the store. Keeps late hours, so that's a plus. Especially since this seems to be the only other liquor store besides the ABC on 31 between G'dale and F'dale. Made a purchase but didn't feel very welcomed. Nobody else was in the store, male clerk watching TV and didn't seem to care whether or not I stayed or left. Female comes from back and kinda shares the same "meh" expression about my wife and being there. For that sole reason, will probably only wind up here in extreme desperate measures... which it'll never be that serious!

Kind of feeling a little embarrassed that I hadn't stopped into this place until now. They've been…read moreopen for a while and I'd seen some reviews and a few articles but hadn't made it by to see for myself. Well now I have and I can tell you that it's amazing. The lady who owns the place has done a fantastic job at curating a remarkable selection of things that you're going to want to try. The vibes are cozy and the decor interesting. The price points span a good range so there's something for everyone. Definitely check out the wine specials. I picked up a dozen assorted bottles to fill up a wine rack that had gone empty, and I was able to do that for what turned out to be less than expected. Will definitely be returning once I need to do that again. Aside from the interesting selection of bottles and the friendly vibes, it's also cool to see new and quirky businesses popping up in areas that are undergoing a revitalization. You love to see it. Long story short this is a very cool spot that you should make it a point to visit. Take the wine lover in your life and let them marvel at the unique selection. Check out the wide array of gins in the bathtub up front. Spend some time browsing the shelves and you might find something you didn't expect to find. Great spot. Local owner. Cool vibes. Interesting selection of things that you might not see everywhere. Go there and check it out for yourself. You'll love it.

Lenell's Beverage Boutique is a small, quaint shop tucked away in north Birmingham and it is…read moreexactly the kind of place I love stumbling into. Lenell herself is incredible to talk to. She is basically a librarian of beverages. Her knowledge runs deep and she genuinely knows the story, flavor profile, and use for just about every bottle in the shop. Conversations here feel natural and educational, not salesy. A quick heads up for anyone not from Alabama, the state government makes things messy when it comes to alcohol taxes and pricing. That is not on Lenell. She clearly does her best to keep prices reasonable, but the regulations and taxes make it challenging. Knowing that, the value is still there when you look at the quality and uniqueness of the selection. And the selection is what really stands out. It is curated, thoughtful, and downright impressive. I was able to pick up several bottles I have never seen before anywhere else. This is not a grab a bottle and leave type of store. This is a browse, ask questions, discover something new kind of place. If you enjoy unique spirits, interesting bottles, and talking to someone who truly knows their craft, Lenell's is absolutely worth the visit. I am really glad I stopped in and would not hesitate to come back next time I am in Birmingham.

I've never actually shopped here, but I live nearby. The man that works there scares me because…read moreI've seen him cuss out multiple people on the streets. Today I saw him hit a guy that he was arguing with until the guy fell to the side of the street. I'm tired of his aggressive behavior. It makes me feel unsafe in this area. The area has gotten worse since this store opened.

This store was extremely crowded to me making it difficult to really see the inventory. They have…read morepacked a lot in a small amount of space. The staff was nice and tried to be helpful but they couldn't find anything either. We eventually found what I was looking for. This was my first time coming here and it was a random visit. I will come here again even though the prices are slightly higher than other places in town.

Great food event at Sloss Furnaces this year! There was food from EastWest, The Mayor, Bongiorno,…read moreSol y Luna, Tre Luna, Adorned Sweets, Daniel George, Habitat Feed & Social, and Troup's Pizza (that I can remember at least!). There were cocktails from Reve, Paper Doll, Adios, as well as beer and wine samples. It is a great way to taste some local cuisine!

This is an annual event held in Linn Park, downtown Birmingham…read more This is a well conceived, but poorly executed event. Tickets are sold in advance and at the gate. There is not enough of a discount for the pre-sales to take the risk of inclement weather as absolutely no refund is offered. That would be okay if the "organizers" did some planning and made arrangements for rain. But no, they have outside tables with no cover so these tables are useless if it rains or is very hot as was the case in 2013. You end up standing in line for measly offerings of food and then stand to eat. There are no facilities in the event itself to go relieve yourself of consumed beverages. Why not expand the area for the restaurants? This is a real charlie foxtrot. Nobody can walk by, the lines are ridiculously long and when it rains, it is just a massive jam. If you are going to take my money and offer no refund, you need to plan for rain, very hot weather and other contingencies. The portions are small, usually cold and unappetizing. You can go to a good restaurant for the money and not have to put up with all the inconvenience. We will not go back until better planning is initiated. I would recommend taking this event off your future plans. I came home wet, aggravated, disappointed and feeling like my pocket had been picked. No, no, just no. If you want to be miserable, go. Otherwise, go somewhere else. IMHO, this is the kind of event that needs to go out of business.
