Sooo, We took a little scavengerHunt today and found this cute and secrecy Speakeasy in Birmingham,AL. It may look like your average neighborhood restaurant from the outside , but this place is anything but that. The Hidden entrances, behind unmarked doors but was easy to find. The trendy bar replicate the secrecy and atmosphere of the original speakeasies, often with hidden entrances, dim lighting, vintage decor, and craft cocktails,. Well POGO is definitely it. Our server was skilled at mixing our cocktails. She made me the best Banana Mai Tai, not featured on the menu buts it's probably one of the best (strongest but fruity drinks) I have ever had. This place is remarkable for drink. Strictly for the grown people. We love the Ambiance, the lighting is perfect. This place is perfect for groups or a casual date night. #PogoCocktailBar Is definitely it. #DateNight #DowntownBirmingham read more

Pogo is a very nice speak easy located below the Amour House. Entrance into the bar is very cool and secluded. I love the concept of the pogo door handle and name that was found doing the building of bar. They offer plenty of seats from high top tables to booths. The drink menu does include most of the standard items. They were sold out of the popular pogo punch but would return to try again. The server was great and checked on us frequently. Overall Pogo is a go for me! read more

Nestled beneath Birmingham's Armour House. Pogo offers an intimate experience. The atmosphere is a blend of classic charm and modern sophistication- arches, stone, velvet drapery plush seating and atmospheric lighting. The layout can easily accommodate a large group or few friends. The staff is very attentive. It's definitely a place to try. read more

Great ambiance and attentive service at the door, but the bar team seemed short staff as it took a significant time to be greeted and receive our order. Also, the seating situation was sparse as the tall tables were very spacious, but I was seated next to a couple on the couch facing AWAY from the live music, so this was very inconvenient. I hope they have increased their table seating. The drinks are nothing special, you could have something more fascinating and delicious for the same or lower price at Paper doll, Mayawell, or Cayo. Live Music however was a nice touch, but don't expect it to be the main focus as it was mostly drowned out by the chattiness of a weekend evening. read more

5 stars across the board. Such a fun, unique spot. The ambiance takes you back in time while still having a modern feel, and the drinks are top notch. My personal favorite is the number 2, coffee and passion fruit gimlet. I've never had anything else like it. Plus you can end the night with a game of pool. Will definitely be back. read more

Perfect location for a dinner date, out with friends, or celebration cocktails with family! We went for after dinner cocktails celebrating my dad's 80th birthday, and he enjoyed it!! The service was friendly and quick, the drinks were phenomenal, and the ambiance was amazing. I love this hidden gem. If you liked the Blue Monkey on Cobb Lane, then you will love this elevated experience. Before we left, we were joined by younger family members on their first stop of the night with one celebrating her 24th birthday. Perfect for all ages! But, get there early, because the line gets long and it's harder to get in later. read more

Pogo is the speakeasy of your dreams! The ambient lighting plus the live jazz is truly one of a kind in Birmingham. Every detail has been thought out intentionally and implemented perfectly. Truly the place that Bham was missing. Highly recommend adding this to your list! read more

Nice little speak easy under the Amour Restaurant. They don't have Coconut Malibu Rum but all the other good bourbons they had in stock. Service was good and was a fun place to meet up and drink with friends. read more

I really really wanted to like this spot. But it is so plain. And by that I mean, the drinks are subpar. No food- you'd have to go to the restaurant above. But the drink menu is not attractive. Service was great, but I just could not get with the menu. Now of course I know how to order a drink outside of a drink menu, buy when I go to a new place I usually give the drink menu a go, because that should mean if this is the house menu, they know how to make them great. They were not great. I've had store bought cocktails that were much better. Very nice set up, but I don't believe I'll go back. read more

From the moment you step onto the Armour House stumping grounds it is so classy. The outdoor seating, the water fall at the entrance, welcoming service etc. We only tried the bar which is downstairs and there's an elevator that you can take or you can use the stairs. I just LOVED the aesthetic from the moment you're welcomed at the entry door. The bar itself was classy, pretty upscale, and chill. I ordered two cocktails. One from the holiday menu and one from the regular menu. The Coquito from the holiday menu was like an eggnog, not my favorite by choice but I actually enjoyed it and it was strong! The raspberry lemon drop was strong also! read more

The drinks are delicious - just got a blood orange spritz and my husband got a cab. The ambiance is wonderful, very classic and I love the entrance. However the reason for 3 starts is the length of time it took to finally get a drink, it took 15 min from ordering for wine to come out which is a bit longer than expected. read more

What a gorgeous place to enjoy a cocktail! The service is good , with a more professional bar staff. 100% recommend stopping by for a drink. read more

While the ambiance at Pogo Bar is okay, the experience overall left much to be desired. The noise level is overwhelming, and the acoustics are terrible, making it difficult to enjoy the setting. The service was frustratingly slow. We were seated at 6:45, but it took until 6:55 to have water and drink orders taken, and we didn't receive our glasses of wine until 7:15. That kind of delay is unacceptable, especially for a bar that brands itself as a speakeasy. The prices are average, but the lackluster service and atmosphere make it not worth the visit. I won't be coming back. Marble ring all day. read more

The ambiance was great. Very romantic setting but still fun with a pool table outside. The service was wonderful, the young lady with the pigtails was friendly and very informative when we asked her questions. There was not a huge range of drink selections but all the drinks we had were great. I would suggest having a reference to drinks on the menu to help avoid confusion or misrepresentation. But all in all, great experience. read more

Cool spot- attended with friends for community event! I will return on a regular night to really get the vibe

Snack menu was disappointing. No mystery- didn't really feel like a speakeasy. It's beautiful but meh otherwise.

Pogo does not serve food. They have snacks on their menu. The service is always on point and the ambiance is amazing! The reason for my 4 star review is because the mixed drinks are horrible. I ordered a Lemon Drop and a Margarita and they both were disgusting! The bartenders should taste what they make and attempt to make it taste yummy. More drinks would be sold. Denim's bartenders make the best drinks. They come in early to practice mixing and tasting the drink, then deciding what to do to improve the taste. read more

Very nice cocktail bar with a cozy, cave-like atmosphere. The arched setup and overall décor create a great ambiance. The missing star is due to the cocktails, they come in beautiful glasses, but the portions are so small that they feel more like a tasting experience. The service is decent, but with such small drinks, you find yourself needing refills more often than expected. read more

This bar is strictly for the vibes! There were only 2 drinks that appealed to me and they were pretty good. If they expand their cocktail menu a bit more, I would choose it over my a couple of my favorites read more

Great drinks, fun vibe. #5 is our favorite! Don't forget to make reservations and head on up to Armour House for dinner!

Food, ambience and service was great, was there for a retirement party which was just perfect for about 40 or so people

Loved the ambiance of the place and they had a live jazz band that really added to the vibe. Drinks were good I can tell they know how to make classic cocktails really well. Only complaint is they only had one bartender behind the bar at one point for a full bar. First round of drinks came out very slow. read more

Way cool vibe. Pricing is far and service was adequate. But the experience of being in the bar is really different. Worth experiencing. read more
