Loaded Tots
Isabel S.

I had no idea Tin Roof had food but it was good bar food! I loved the tater tots, they were fried to perfection and loaded with cheese and bacon. My boyfriend got the buffalo chicken wrap and I got the black diamond burger. We went on a Thursday night so it wasn't busy at all and when we left they had a DJ for live music.

I reviewed this place over eight years ago, and I don't remember that occasion at all. I don't even remember the circumstances that I would have been in Lakeview area during that period of my life. Either it wasn't a memorable occasion or my memory is failing. Maybe a little of both. Today my buddies and I stopped for lunch after playing golf at Highland Park. The lunch crowd was kind of light. The menu offers a nice variety of items including tacos, wings, sandwiches, and burgers. Also, I like that offer five or six draft beer options. I had the Cheeseburger all-the-way with a side of cole slaw. I thought the burger was very good. I didn't care for the cole slaw. In my opinion this place is pretty much a dive bar. It is known as a venue for live music, and reminds me very much of bars I might have frequented during college.

Very pleased with this establishment. The staff is awesome, good great and the various events are great. Love the running group that meets there and centrally located in Birmingham. A must visit for anyone in town.

Great food, great service, and an awesome atmosphere! Jordan is a great server/bartender

A good man

help me im smothered in buffalo tenders. Thursday, October 31st. The city streets are crowded for the holiday. Even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes. And I'm there too. Watching. 2 years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now, for when I'm needed. When that light hits the sky, it's not just a call- it's a warning. To them. The TENDERS

Loud music!!!! :)

Odd little place to say the least, we came here on a Saturday night while we were working on our big night out badge ;) the reason I say odd is they cater to everyone. On the front side of the house they had a DJ and he was doing an awesome job. On the backside of the house they had a live band... also which was really good... and in the middle of it all was a huge bar serving what seemed like 50 folks... Great place t hang out and dance/drink and have a good time!!

Definitely a happening place on the weekend. We came here on a Saturday night and the place was packed. There was a dj in the front of the house playing hip hop, etc. I paid a visit to the bathroom when I first got there and was surprised to see that it was actually pretty clean. I could have stayed there half the night reading the bathroom walls. Lol. Definitely got an education. The back of the place is open to the outside and there was a live band playing. The band played a mix of music but tended toward country. They were a great band and kept the audience on it's feet. I enjoyed the drinks here. Good bartender. The crowd was mostly twenty somethings, meaning we were the old timers but we still had a good time. I would come back again. Fun for a night out!

This place has the worst, most narcissistic DJ I've ever seen. Can't let anyone just sing a song without adding any commentary.

It's a dive bar. If that's what you're looking for, then it'll work! The food, drinks and service are on par with a really good dive bar.

The Nick is definitely not for everyone -- but it's absolutely an experience you'll never forget…read more After my friend (who was hosting us) passed out, my other friend and I decided to see more of Birmingham's nightlife. A friendly bartender at Up-Down Arcade Bar (another must-visit!) told us about this place, mentioning it's one of the few bars open 24 hours on the weekend. Naturally, curiosity won. From the jump, this place had character. There's a bouncer at the door, a makeshift elevated DJ booth to the right where you have to pay cash for a "membership." Don't worry -- there's an ATM conveniently behind the booth, ready to charge you a nice little convenience fee if you didn't bring cash. The membership lasts a year, but still, that was a first for me. Inside? Small. Crowded. Lively. And at 1 AM, there was a guy passed out in a chair right by the entrance -- with his dog roaming freely around the bar. I honestly couldn't make this up if I tried. The bartenders were solid -- fast, cool, and trying their best to keep up with the rush. There's a selection of local beers (pretty good ones too) and two pool tables... well, technically one, since they only had one cue ball. The pool sticks? Ancient relics. The bathroom? I'll spare you the visuals. Outside was much more breathable. There was a local guy named Walter -- from Georgia, of all places -- selling BBQ. Cool dude. The turkey wing was a little tough, but his attitude made up for it. Now, the real highlights? The people and the atmosphere. You've got folks eavesdropping on your conversations, tossing around racially backed jokes at me (that I politely corrected), a row of chain-smokers out front, and a woman openly asking for cigarettes or change that may have been homeless, but was definitely a crackhead and she so eloquently vocalized. It's a gritty and downright raw type of place, but somehow, it works. There wasn't any live music when we came, but I'm sure that's what makes this place shine more than it already does in its own unique way. I'll definitely be back for a performance night. Bottom line: Five stars because The Nick is exactly what it's supposed to be -- an unfiltered slice of Birmingham nightlife that refuses to apologize for being itself.

It seems like I'd heard of this place since the day we moved to Birmingham in 2012. I've heard some…read moreinteresting stories about it since then also. lol! I went at 4:30'ish on a Tuesday for happy hour with some pals. Very slow time which was perfect for us. The bartender was very laid back. The customers seemed like regulars... familiar. Good drinks. The walls are super super busy. You can't look and not see something you didn't see before. I definitely recommend going for the experience if you've never been.

This was my first time seeing a concert in Birmingham and Iron City is the perfect venue for these…read moresmaller, general admission shows. Pretty easy to find and a good amount of parking in surrounding lots, despite it being a relatively small building. Even though it was standing room only, I noticed that it was small enough still to where you could probably get a good view just about wherever you are in the crowd. If there's another band or artist that I absolutely love performing here, I would probably make another trip from Nashville just come down and see them here.

What a cool and interesting venue! I've been twice now, Big Thief and then Mom Jeans/Slothrust…read more The floor area is huge and wide open. Not my thing. They have an upstairs with seats, more my thing. They also have a few VIP areas. This is where it gets confusing. The latter show, they had tables open that hadn't sold. In my business brain, you'd discount those areas the day of the show because well, the sale you make is better than the sale you don't. Well, they apparently don't have the same outlook as me. What we also observed was that if you're friends with the manager, they'll be able to make that work but if not, you're SOL. Whatever. All of that aside, the sound is great, the bar is great, most of the staff is great. Their booking agent/talent buyer must have their hands full and/or have a split personality because who they get is so all over the place.

This is THE room for music fans. It's a quiet venue, a rock venue, and everything in between…read more Above all, it's intimate. You aren't just a spectator, you're part of the show. Here's why I say all of those glowing things: This room is tall, but small in square feet. There are bookshelves that align the walls. They are covered in books that face backwards, so the pages soak in the sound. It's a noise canceling solution that was just too dang obvious for anyone else to figure out. At times, the ticket prices might be steep, but it's worth it. It means you get to see one of your favorite acts in an intimate venue with people that care. Think about it... you won't have to deal with the drunk dude at the bar talking about who knows what, while your trying to enjoy a show. so good.

It's hard to review perfection is it not. Birmingham is really quite blessed to have such a vibrant…read moremusic scene and to add another music venue seems a bit superfluous but let me tell you this venue is important for the city. Yes we have plenty of places to see rock shows and indie shows but a true listening room where music is front and center and not the whole "hey look at me I'm at this show and you're not" thing we just don't have. I'm rambling because it's hard to convey the excitement I have for this place. It's the type of room that you can go to and the artist doesn't even have to be mic'd up for it to sound amazing. From what I understand a bar area is coming and there are more renovations to be done in the space but really the aesthetics don't matter when it comes to this place. It simply is a place to go and listen to music without distraction. Get there as soon as you can.
