When my friend told me about this place, I thought he was exaggerating -- but he wasn't. The Beer Hog is absolutely massive. It's housed in what used to be an old elementary school, now converted into an incredible hangout spot. Inside, there's a full bar with an impressive rotating tap list displayed on a giant chalkboard, each beer listed with a number and description to make choosing easy. Beyond the drinks, there's plenty to do -- a small arcade, a virtual mini golf business in the back, outdoor seating, and yard games like cornhole and giant Connect Four. The vibe is relaxed, social, and full of energy without feeling crowded. I ordered two flights and loved the variety and quality across the board. Between the atmosphere, drinks, and entertainment, this is easily one of the best spots in the Birmingham area. A definite must-visit whether you're a local or just passing through. read more

Cool vibe and great selection of beer. This place was close to our hotel and the perfect choice.

Spacious indoor and outdoor seating options available. Separate indoor room with dart boards and pool tables to keep one entertained. Definitely had a "locals bar" vibe. Long list of draft options in addition to liquor and wine. However no "Happy Hour" at this location. Standard pub fare or snacks on the menu. Had no issue with the service provided. read more

The beer hog is a nice little chill spot. I stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon since I was in the area. I tried two beers. They were pretty good and refreshing. The staff is helpful. I didn't try any food here but I plan to the next time I visit! read more

Beer Hog has TONS of beer to choose from and for the none beer drinkers they have spirits as well. They have bar seating, high top tables and outside seating. Outside is dog friendly. They have a game room with pool tables and other bar games however everytime I go it seems to be rented out so haven't had the ability to play any. Also it is in Pelham 124. read more

I wish we had something similar off of our part of 280 down in Hoover near Chelsea. This place has a ton of beers and they aren't all IPA's which is awesome! They also have liquor and wine. The pizza is pretty good too! They have plenty of indoor seating and some outside as well. They also have a gaming room off to the side with a pool table. I didn't go in there so I'm not sure what else is in there. It is definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Huge beer selection so you are sure to find something you like. The list can be overwhelming but it was nice that they have a QR code for your phone so you can sort by whatever you want. Lots of seating, quick service. Place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Pretty cool place. We met friends here after work one night. Lots of different kinds of beer. You can do a flight of 4 if that's what you would like. We were happy to see that they had two different kinds of cider boys. I got the cranberry razz. It was good but could have been a little colder. It just wasn't as refreshing as it had been at other places that have had it on draft. We got some beer cheese with pretzel bites too much it. The pretzel nuggets were really hot and so was the cheese. We all liked them. There's a game room in here. I didn't go in but saw they had some video games and a pool table. There was someone with a dog at the bar so I guess you can have dogs here. They also have better and cider to carry out so that's nice if you want a six pack to go. Staff were very nice. I would come back here again. We really enjoyed it. read more

Met up with a group of friends for drinks and dinner. What a great choice! Laid back, casual atmosphere,& plenty of beer options! The live music was also definitely a plus. This place was hopping, but service was still good. We also had a variety of pizzas, some tamales and dip. Good bar food, but nothing that stood out as something I would have to have again. I am excited to have such a cool spot close to home and will definitely be back! read more

The Beer Hog - Philly pizza - Beer Bar Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

I've been here several times, and it's a nice place to meet up with friends. Most recently, I met up with some buddies for a reunion of sorts that we've done once or twice a year for a few years. Ever since the first year, I make sure when we get there around 6 or 6:30 that we aren't anywhere near any live performance they may have. Made it hard to actually socialize. Every other time, and this time, has been great. Wide selection of beer available, so everybody from your standard at-home beer type to the craft beer types can enjoy something. It's a larger venue than it seems with a main room, a game room, and a patio. Food is a little limited, but it's a bar, so I don't expect a lot of food; you can go next door for that. read more

I'm sure the beer's great. Not my thing; food is. The atmosphere is very well done. Think Flying Saucer but with Golden Tee in addition to pool. The staff is great, the general schema is banging out while standing up, more or less. The best thing on the menu is the garlic knots. Fluffy, doughy, buttery, garlicky goodness. You've had them before elsewhere, and Beer Hog, while not perfecting the basic, does a fine job with its variation. The pizza leave something to be desired...that being a noteworthy sauce, slightly-crackerish crust, and respectable cheese. The meat and/or other toppings (I had the full hog) were, well, meat and/or other toppings. Basically, this is the bar food version of a Tombstone Pizza. 2 stars: there's better pizza elsewhere. The service is 4 stars, the atmosphere 3.5 stars. I just can't go beyond what the food merits. That's what you get with me. read more

If you are a beer lover, there isn't anything to dislike about The Beer Hog. They always have good selections as well as some standards that are always on tap. It gets a bit busy, but it is a very large space and can accommodate a LOT of folks. Good place to "get your beer on." read more

I've been a fan of the beer hog for a long time, since they were in their old location. The new location, in an old elementary school that has been converted into an entertainment district, is fabulous! The space is so big- high ceilinged, wood and metal decor. There is a Game room with Pool, darts, and others, plus a lovely outdoor patio with ample seating, corn hole, and fans! Service is ok. The bartenders aren't unfriendly just not particularly warm when I've been. They do a good job tho! They have a ton of beers on tap, at least 60, and also offer wine and spirits. You can also purchase growlers and bottles and canned beer to take home! I love going in and getting flights, because their offerings are constantly changing and I like to sample as many as I can! They also offer a variety of food now- really good pizzas, salmon dip, pretzels, and even tamales! Everything is always delicious. Definitely check this local gem out! read more

Today is Oktoberfest at Beer Hog, and what a fun event it has been! Beer hoisting contests, Alabama and Auburn football on the big screen, 70 degree weather and six different types of German beers on draft. Beer Hog knows how to do it right! So glad we were able to be a part of this! If you have never experienced an Oktoberfest, make plans to attend next year. Also the big pretzels were delicious! read more

Went recently with another couple, and I was the only one of the 4 who had not been to the Beer Hog, and not at their new location in which they opened at the end of March. We were going for an early Saturday evening and got there around 5:15. One had a couple of the tap brews, another had a moscow mule (or at least it was served in the copper mug so I assume that was it--had been ordered before we sat down.) Another had a bourbon and coke, and I tried a mimosa cider. I had originally wanted a mimosa seltzer I had seen on a Facebook pic last week from Magic City Brewfest. We also got a pizza and some cheese sticks. Service started out fantastic, but about 7ish I don't know if it was because they were a little busy (but not terrible), it got harder to find someone. (At one point, we saw the person who had been serving us sitting down at a table with others for a while, so IDK if she was off or what.) The menu is super limited, and I hope they start to expand it, it was just thin crust pizza, cheese sticks, and I think soft pretzels. In looking back at FB, I see that they apparently have salads now, but I didn't see them on the menu. Definitely not enough food options for the amount of booze. They had live entertainment. The same guy was playing when the others had previously come and they really enjoyed him. We weren't as impressed with the musician this night, though. So since we weren't keen on it, we went ahead and moved into the other room, as playing pool had been on our list when we decided to try out BH. Might go back, but just as a cocktail before going elsewhere for a meal, or perhaps after. read more

Had decent outdoor seating on a patio, but we skipped it because everything wet from rain. Beer- had a nice hazy IPA. Not much available if you love the dark stout beer category. Lousy food. Everything we had was prefab, toss together, and heat as far as we could tell. Not homemade crust. We only each ate one slice of pizza. Took the rest home for our teen, but left it all day in trunk because it was just that forgettable. Might go back for beer, but would not plan a meal there. Friendly servers. read more

I like this spot. It's located off 150 in a renovated school. It's very spacious. There's a very spacious bar area, outdoor patio, and an area with pool tables. The bar area was lined with TVs. There was a nice selection of craft beers. The menu consisted of appetizers (bar food), thin crust pizzas, and salads. There are 2 sizes for the pizzas and salads. The large saladS are LARGE! The pizza was OK. The flights were reasonably priced at $10-12. The service was very good! read more

The Beer Hog - Beer Bar Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

We have been coming here for years. We used to go to the previous location and continue to follow them at their new location in Pelham. I like how there is plenty of seating inside and outside. Plenty of parking. There is also plenty of beer to choose from! I like that you can also purchase beer in their store. They have a great area to play pool. Some nights they have trivia and a band. They have clean restrooms and nice staff. We had a great time during Halloween when we dressed up. Everyone that comes here for a drink is also super nice. Never really had an issue with not finding a table to sit at. For food we tend to order the barbecue chicken pizza or the buffalo chicken pizza. We definitely will be back with friends soon. It's a nice chill place. read more

I went into bar, sat right next to where people were walking up to order ( I thought this was for people not sitting at bar). I sat there for 5 minutes , several bartenders walked past me at least 5 times, nobody told me i had to get in line to order a drink. I got up and left after seeing several people get service from walk up area. Too bad ... it was very slow so no excuse. I am now having a beer to a place close by. I see why they are slow, service is awful read more

Stellar place and great local beer selection lead the review. This bar has recently moved to the old Pelham Elementary school. It has been a kept secret but now word is out and can get crowded especially during college football season. The large screen tvs provide excellent entertainment. Food here is also good. Not many selections. Their focus is offering their customers a variety of beers. This place is great for groups and couples. Go experience. read more

The Beer Hog - Garlic Knots - Beer Bar Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

I love this place! I have been a fan since they were in their old location, but now that they are part of Campus 124, it is so much better! The new location is huge, with tons of indoor seating, a great outdoor patio and a massive game room. The beer selection is massive and changes regularly. I always get to try something new and if I love it, they usually have it available to purchase and take home. On top of that they now have a full kitchen and specialize in thin crust pizzas. The pizza is actually pretty good too. Put all this on top of being in walking distance of my home and this is my favorite watering hole in Shelby county. read more

Great hangout place with pool tables & other small games. Outdoor & indoor seating. Food is pretty good. Bartenders/workers very helpful & friendly. The pizza we had was really good. We like thin crunchy crust pizza. Menu isn't too big but still good options. Maybe they'll be adding some more to it soon. Something like sliders or similar, & maybe some dipping sauces for the pizza crust. Pets are welcome at the outside seating area. Huge variety of beer selections. Inside seating area is really nice & spacious. read more

I used to go to the old Beer Hog by Oak Mountain Lanes. The new venue is superior. Better lighting, more seating and now they have a room for bar games like pool and darts. Haven't tried the food options, I've seen others order pizza there and it looks good. Good beer always on rotation, I like that they feature a large amount of Alabama breweries. Staff is friendly and the new method of asking for service (flags) seems to be optimal when the place gets busy. read more

One of our favorite places to go. Good location, and a great variety of craft beer on tap.

We've been coming to beer hog for years and it is always a comfortable, laid-back spot. Ever since moving to the new location we've seen dogs inside virtually every visit. Today is was raining. Tried calling ahead but the number listed was out of service, so I physically walked in and left my dog in the car with bf to ask a bartender if it was ok to have her and she said yes as long as she was on a leash. We come back in, bf goes to order beer, we pick a table away from ppl, and manager comes over and tells us the dog can't be there. I mentioned the bartender said it was ok, and got a kind of rude "I'm the manager" response back. Cancelled our order and went somewhere else. We don't mind at all if there's a no-dog policy (it's why I made multiple attempts to ask), but seems the staff isn't on the same page and manager could have been less of a douche about it. read more
