The Pogo Art
Tarshe C.

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

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!

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.

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.

It's truly a sight to behold in there! Nice vibe - very speak easy entrance door. Nice private seating areas. Really good drinks!

Seasonal expression #2, a coffee and passion fruit gimlet

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.

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.

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!

The entrance.

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.

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

Tucana Tiki is a great experience from start to finish when you walk in it's like traveling to an…read moreisland oasis. They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

Service is great and the drinks are spectacular. Great date night spot or for fun with friends.read more

Went here for a work event, and while this type of place isn't really my thing, I can definitely…read moresee why people would love it and spend a good amount of time here. It's a pretty neat hangout spot with a bar and food service, virtual baseball and football, bowling, darts, and several other games. Our work event had lunch catered, including green beans, mac and cheese, sliders, chicken tenders, rosemary potatoes, cookies, brownies, and doughnut holes. Overall, the food was pretty good. The mac and cheese was a little bland and could have used more seasoning, but the chicken tenders were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Honestly, if I wasn't there for work, I probably would have gorged myself on those chicken tenders . And the brownie? Spectacular. Thick, moist, and super fudgy, definitely the highlight for me! Service was great also-they came around routinely checking in to see if we needed any drinks, cleaned up plates, etc. Not necessarily somewhere I'd go specifically for myself, but I can absolutely see the appeal for groups, work events, or anyone looking for a fun place to hang out, eat, drink, and play some games.

The venue is spacious and has plenty of room for larger parties, creating an energetic social environment. On this visit, we tried the virtual reality games and came away underwhelmed. Some of the equipment needed to fully enjoy the experience was unavailable, and the gameplay itself felt clunky and repetitive after a few rounds. We skipped the food but enjoyed our drinks, and our server, Mike, was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. While the VR attractions were not for us, the overall ambiance left a positive impression. We'd be willing to return to check out the boutique bowling, which looks like it may be the better experience. If you're looking for a fun place to gather with friends, Fairway Social is worth considering, just manage your expectations for the virtual games.
