I was traveling home from out of town and found this bar along my route. It was getting late so I…read morecalled to confirm their business hours. I got an automated message that said to leave a message and my call would be returned as soon as possible. I thought maybe the bar was busy and they didn't have time to answer, no big deal. Upon my arrival I noticed a very low selection of liquor, draft beer, or customers. The only customers I saw in the bar were two people playing pool. I asked the bartender about tequila. He asked me if I wanted a shot without telling me what was available or if that's what i wanted, which makes me think there is not much of a selection. Before I could ask what type of tequila there was to drink or ask what type of mixers the bar had, which I don't think there was much mixers to choose from by how empty the bar looked, the bartender then proceeded to ask me if I was "messed up". I drink rarely and take no medication. At this moment I hadn't had a drink in short of a week. He then proceeded to tell me that I was slurring my words, although that was definitely not true. He refused to serve me. I've been to bars all across the United States and this is the first time I've ever been refused to be served, especially before my first drink. He didn't ask how I was doing, if I was meeting friends, if i was planning on driving home, or getting a ride from someone. The bartender decided I was "messed up" within 30 seconds of me being in the bar. If a bartender can't tell the difference between someone who is 110% sober and "messed up", while making that decision within 30 seconds of a customer entering the bar, then that bartender should be looking for a new profession. I'm not quite sure if he was insinuating that I had been drinking, taking to much medication,or using recreational drugs, but none was the case. Maybe this is the type of bar where people often arrive to inebriated to get served or the bartender prefers locals and refuses service to others.I'm not certain this is the situation, but regardless it's extremely unprofessional and the bartender was absolutely wrong and unjustified. I will never be returning to this establishment and would recommend avoiding this bar. The next time I'm in this town I'll be sure to go elsewhere. I wouldn't return to this bar if it was the only one in town!

All we asked is if the kitchen was open and the response was Ain't no kitchen you can go eat at Purple Onion now some may think oh that's nothing but sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it. We could have stayed and had drinks shot pool but the attitude given no thanks. You should really think about how you treat all of your customers !!!

It's not stuffy and usually not so packed that you feel overwhelmed! Bar service is quick and you don't have to miss any of the show to re-up your brewski. They also serve tall-boys to prevent you having to make too many trips back to the bar. The most recent show I went to was Mini Kiss. It seems like most indie/pop/rock/country acts nowadays elect to play at Avondale Brewing instead of here. I do love Avondale Brewing, but it's nice to be indoors for a show every now and then. Security is tight here, which simultaneously makes me nervous and gives me peace of mind. The bathrooms seem newly renovated and were clean! They had a ton of stalls in the women's bathroom, so I'm sure lines move quick if there even is a line.

There was a live band playing some oldie but goodie music! I got the blackberry smash with bourbon and it was so fresh and summery with the fruity taste!

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

We stumbled on The Wine Bunker for the first time after a local concert, and we're so glad we did!…read moreThe place is clean and well-kept, including the restrooms. There was a live folklore band playing when we walked in, which was a little different for us, but nonetheless we enjoyed them. The decor does remind you of a bunker with it giving a military type of vibe. Even though it's a wine bar, they have some liquor options too. We ordered some flatbread pizzas--which the bartender actually made right there--and they were pretty tasty. They came out hot and fresh, tasting way better than your typical bar food. I do wish they had some nonalcoholic options, but it wasn't a deal breaker. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

They have a well-stocked bar and a selection of seasonal cocktails. They are however limited in their craft beer selection. They only have 5 taps and unfortunately the beer selection is not all craft. There is a nice seating area with plush comfy chairs around a fireplace. Two large screen TVs are mounted on each side of the fireplace make this an excellent spot for viewing sporting events. In some corners you can even find an intimate spot. They have a bar menu consisting of dollar oysters including your choice of Blue Pointe and James River. They also make flatbreads. You can also order off of the menu of the adjoining restaurant the Signature. When it is warmer you can also sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view or the sunset and take advantage of their happy hour specials.

The bartender was friendly and she fixed some darn good drinks. They have live music, a plus in my book. They also have outside seating. We started with fried oysters and fried crab claws, both could have been seasoned a little more, other than that they were pretty tasty. I ordered the twice baked tater with chicken and it was surprisingly good and loaded with chicken. My husband had the 1/2 rack of ribs with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. The ribs were very tender but needed more smoke flavor. The baked beans were not good; lacked flavor and tasted like canned pork and beans. The mac and cheese was decent, nothing to brag about. The owner/manager stopped by and apologized for the wait. It took a while for our appetizers to arrive. I appreciate the fact that he took the time to address the wait as he did with other customers. Our server was friendly, very attentive and also apologized for the wait. We do plan on returning to try other items on the menu and to have a good drink.

It seems that every time I look in this direction, this location has a different restaurant name…read more This time was no different. Hillside Music & Que just recently opened under new management. It was most recently Palm & Pig. I tried it when it was Palm and Pig and I thought it was rather good. Hillside is located near the Vestavia City Center right next to Bob's Power Equipment, which ironically has been in that location for over 20 years at least. Hillside is located on at the end of a small strip so they have a nice outdoor space with a covered patio. It's great for a guitar player and with big heaters is even pleasant to sit out there (when it wasn't Hillside). The interior is quite large despite the small entrance. It extends quite far to the back. They have a nice little bar and a good side stage for their many live performers. In fact their very model for this restaurant thrives on live performers with "Band Inquiries Call 205-901-2225" centered on their menu! Our party arrived on bustling Friday evening. Luckily we didn't have to wait long at all and got a table right away. Our server arrived quickly and got our drink orders. There wasn't a performer but the place was loud with chatter. While we were there, a two man guitar group started setting up. Our drinks arrived promptly and our orders taken. About 15 minutes later our food arrived. Matthew tried the Diablo burger. I had to have a bite and it was spicy as promised. Their "Dooom a -que" sauce wasn't bad. Tammy and Jack tried the Philly. Shaved ribeye, caramelized onions and topped with American cheese on a cuban roll. It also wasn't bad. Plentiful grilled beef and good bread. Sarah had the Hillside burger. It was also good and burger a nice medium. I tried the shrimp poboy. Lettuce, onion, pickle were topped with 6 perfectly fried shrimp in a slightly toasted hoagie bun. After I lathered it with the smoked tomoato aioli sauce which was served on the side, I took my first bite and was impressed. I've had worse and this poboy was quite enjoyable! Yom Yom Yom. We also really enjoyed the "okra fries". The cucumber salad was rather underwhelming and the fries were soggy and undersalted. Surprisingly none of us tried any of their bbq. A good reason to return. We had a good time and had great service. If you enjoy good ole southern comfort food and good live entertainment, give Hillside a try.
