    Went last night and the service was slow to start with but got better as the night went on. I will say I am excited that we have this place so close by but the bourbon/whiskey pricing is all over the place.

    Old fashioned smokey and sweet

    Pretty low key . Very relaxed vibe seems the bar gets more attention than actual tables. Everything was fine from the drinks to food (what little they have) Very small place , smaller than We are used to. The old fashioned was smoked which gave it a different flavor and was a bit sweeter than most. I enjoyed it ! I also got the Blk berry bramble -Was fine also. Hubbie got Jefferson's Ocean neat and Booker's on Ice. He enjoyed them. We also got a charcuterie board that was like 40 bucks with 2 meats, 2 cheeses, fruit with honey, dip , and honey grenade which is sunflower seeds in honey. Everything was fine but you really need to up the crackers especially with a table of 3. Not very friendly just bare minimum . It was a outing nothing more. Would I come b again ? Can't say I would. It seems a local hangout where people know each other . One and done for us I'm thinking. They do have Bourbon, Whiskey, and a few others no Gin , no Vodka Eh..It is indeed not a upscale bar . It's Mid with Mid level drinks. Please keep it real when doing a review people.

    Super cool whiskey wine bar. We came in a Saturday night. Live music was awesome. I had a red wine flight. I liked 3 of the 4 wines. I told them I didn't like one of the wines and they replaced it. Afterwards, I got the sangria. It was really good. They have charcuterie boards and snarky things but no dinners. Great place to come after you eat. This is located in Alabaster in the same shopping center as Joes Italian. Definitely check it out!!

    What a great little wine and whiskey bar, and the fact that is it veteran owned is a huge plus.. We came on a Saturday night where they had a band... if you closed your eyes you would have sworn it was Pink Floyd!!!

    Great place to spend a weekend afternoon. Waiting on the fun to begin with food and wine samples…read more Update: Despite the nice venue, gotta say there were some glitches that need to be worked out and shared. The event was advertised online with pre purchased tickets to start at 3. We showed up at 3 and were told that it actually started at 4. No problem, we had a drink inside and enjoyed the vibe. When we tried to cash out, it was a little difficult. There were extra people helping but they ignored me and my friend and walked away after clearing the men at the bar. When the bartender cashed us out, she charged us for the event that we'd purchase tickets for online and that was an ordeal trying to get a credit. As of the morning after, my bank account has a charge and no credit. All in all, I have 4 transactions (all charges) from them when there should be 2. The apps were a nice touch to the event and people seemed to be having fun.

    The food was very limited. Charcuterie was ordered for the table and it was not good. A large…read moregroup of us came for the fun wine experience, but was very disappointed. One of the glasses on the shelf was so dusty and had a dead bug in it. The service was good once the bartender took over, but the other person there was not friendly. They had so many things crossed off their menu and empty wine bottles in the machines that I can only assume they are about to close for good. Oh and we were being rushed out at 9:00 while their hours show that they close at 11:00.

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by shelves of wines, charcuterie boards, and gourmet accompaniments, making it a fun place to browse before your meal. Unfortunately, my first impression of the service wasn't the strongest. When I approached the host stand, I was greeted with, "What do you want?" While it may have been an off moment or simply a poor choice of words, it didn't feel particularly welcoming. Since I was standing at the host stand in the dining area, I assumed it would be clear that I was there to eat. I was also initially directed toward the bar, despite it being nearly full and located in a busy area where staff were constantly moving through. Since I was dining solo and wanted a more relaxed experience, I asked about patio seating instead, and thankfully that was available. Once seated, my experience improved considerably. My server struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving me space to enjoy my meal. Since it was my first visit, I had several questions about the menu, and he was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely happy to offer recommendations. I decided to order one of the daily specials along with a build-your-own charcuterie board and a Kir Royale to drink. The Heirloom Tomato Salad was an excellent choice. It was fresh, vibrant, and had a flavor profile that set it apart from the many tomato salads I've had before. It's the kind of seasonal special I'd happily order again. For my charcuterie board, I selected Soppressata, Prosciutto, and Gin & Juice for the meats, along with Campo de Montalbán and Midnight Moon cheeses. Everything paired beautifully with the accompanying bread, nuts, and garnishes. Each bite felt thoughtfully curated, and it made for a leisurely meal that encouraged slowing down and savoring each combination. The Kir Royale was equally enjoyable--light, bubbly, and refreshing. It complemented the charcuterie perfectly and is an easy recommendation if you're looking for a celebratory cocktail. One of my favorite parts of the visit was the patio. It was the perfect place to enjoy Birmingham's beautiful weather while people-watching and taking in the neighborhood. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to linger over the meal. Before leaving, I had one more interaction with the hostess that left me a bit puzzled. Since I was dining alone, I took my belongings with me when I went to the restroom after letting my server know where I was headed and asking him to bring my check. As I walked back, the hostess commented, "I thought you had gone." While she may not have intended anything by it, the remark came across as though she assumed I had left without paying, which made for another awkward interaction. I settled my bill at the front counter without issue, but it reinforced my initial impression of the hospitality at the host stand. Overall, I'd rate Red or White an **8/10**. The food, drinks, patio, and service from my server made for a very enjoyable experience, and I would absolutely return for another charcuterie board and cocktail. The only thing holding this visit back from earning a higher rating was my experience with the hostess. Hospitality begins the moment a guest walks through the door, and small interactions can have a lasting impact. Even so, the quality of the food and atmosphere makes this a spot I'd happily visit again.
