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.

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.

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

From the moment you step onto the Armour House stumping grounds it is so classy.

I hadn't been to Paper Doll since their new POP renovation, and wanted to try it out this weekend!…read moreWalked from a restaurant on 2nd Ave after eating dinner and stumbled into a burlesque show! It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink. It's relatively dark in here so much more of a romantic vibe.

Ok... so it looks different than the original Paper Doll. Neon, 80's/90's vibe, unicorn on the…read morewall. I loved the original decor so this is ... different. Moving on, I ordered two cocktails: vitamin sea and out of the office, I think. I explained that I don't like sweet - both were made perfect for me with less syrup. We were there for happy hour, which is $2 off all drinks. I also had their chips and dip (no kitchen menu). 2 drinks and chips = $29. I consider that a little steep for happy hour but this was for the experience. I'd recommend a visit.
