They had great service and drinks! It was great for a casual occasion! I would highly recommend!

While on a road trip , my bf and I wanted to stop and have a nice cocktail. Found this nice and intimate place. Whitney and McKenzie were the most welcoming people we’ve encountered in a long time. The drinks were not even on the menu and Whitney created a taste we were looking for, and exceeded. Even though we didn’t get to experience the food due to us arriving right after the kitchen closed. We stopped at Buckees before arriving and grab a Brisket Sandwich. We were unsure if they can heat our food for us , but without hesitation Whitney was very pleased to heat our food. Employees such as Whitney and McKenzie are hard to come by and they are awesome! I am sure to return to experience dinner with them again but with their food menu. Thank you!!!!

Juniper is the perfect restaurant. If someone comes in to town, I tell them to the Juniper for Happy Hour, listen to some great live music on the patio, and have a gin and tonic! Chef T is an incredible cook and innovator. All the food we've had has been cooked to perfection, and always interesting.

My visit to Juniper was an absolute delight, particularly during their happy hour. The ambiance of the place set the perfect tone for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. What truly stood out was their happy hour menu, which offered a variety of choices catering to different tastes.The food was a highlight. The fries were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, seasoned just right to enhance their natural flavor. They were a hit at our table, disappearing almost as soon as they arrived.The hummus and bread were another standout. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, striking a perfect balance of garlic and lemon. It paired wonderfully with the fresh, warm bread that was served alongside. This combination was not only delicious but also felt like a healthier option compared to typical bar snacks.

Another 5-star night at Juniper! Big thanks to Calvin for his rock-star customer service, inspiring fashion choices, and overall positive energy. And oh - to call a restaurant and get a live human who will take care of you. A girl, or boy or they could dream...or they could call and hopefully get to chat with one of the many amazing staff persons who grace one of our favorite neighborhood establishments. The blueberry creme brûlée remains my sweet tooth self's favorite dessert choice, with the hot chocolate possibly being a second favorite. It is unethical for me to fully comment on this selection as my partner (who has the delusion that he does not have a sweet tooth) said he would taste it and then shamelessly would not give it back. Next time perhaps I will be better able to fill you in. Last update worth sharing is that this fun place is about turn two, although they seem much more mature (but in a good way). Stay tuned...we will definitely be back!

I had an amazing time food wise. The atmosphere was incredible! I feel like for a $50+ bill for just myself i would have appreciated good service. Our server had no interest in helping us. Did not smile once and was clearly unhappy. I will be coming back because of how amazing everything else was! But I will be expecting much better service.
Wow the food is so good here. Everyone is so friendly too. When I walked in, I noticed the candlelit atmosphere and I wasn't fully sure if I would be able to walk in without a reservation, but she got me a table right away. I got the crab cake (the real one ;P) and it was soooo good. The crab cake was flavorful and the salad was also really good; it may look simple but it's not something you would normally get at home. I honestly loved my whole meal so I decided to try dessert and I got the blueberry crème brûlée. That was really good as well. All in all ten out of ten. You should definitely stop in. Ohh yeah and did I mean room the decor..I know it's a good place but someone put a lot of effort into making it uniquely elegant. It's so pretty!

Really loved the food and drinks. Truly inspired. And the service was top tier.
I stopped at Juniper to pregame before a friend's birthday.My GOSH - is this space gorgeous and welcoming! Whoever designed it lovingly included luxurious texture, color, sparkle, and florals. The whole place is a feast for the senses.The bartender was so kind and helped me figure out what to order. I'm a pretty basic girlie, and I like fruity/herbal drinks, so she guided me to the Buzzword which was citrus-y, refreshing, and bore an edible flower that makes your mouth tingle! Another bartender kindly made conversation with me even though I wasn't ordering anything else for the time being. I can tell this place is run by good people! :)I didn't try the food menu since I was about to head to dinner, but it looked SO GOOD, and the latter bartender mentioned that most items can be made vegetarian/vegan!Can't wait to come back. Thanks for your hospitality, Juniper!

If you are a fan of Gin you will love Juniper- this is just the place that Birmingham needs. My favorite place to get a variety of gin and tonic. Very intricate artwork and attention to detail. Loved everything from the furniture to the artwork displayed. If not too crowded, I think the back patio is very worth spending some time outside. Also, be sure to get a few photos on the beautiful couch when you walk in. Overall, great staff and a great bar.They have great food selection as well
