My favorite bar in Birmingham. This bar is perfect for those who are looming for a different drink beyond just the normal or even those new to drinking and looking to explore what they may enjoy. Highly recommend.

Collins Bar is a Birmingham gem where the drinks are as unique as the atmosphere. Owned by Andrew Collins, this place radiates the heart of Birmingham's welcoming spirit. The bartenders are true pros, crafting drinks tailored to your specific tastes, making every visit a personalized experience. Whether it's a night out with friends or a cozy date, the space perfectly accommodates any occasion. My wife and I have made countless memories here, from our first dates to nights out with friends. If you're in Birmingham and can visit only one bar, make it Collins Bar. It's not just a bar; it's an experience that embodies the essence of the city.

Better than average bourbon selection but bartenders clearly showed a preference for a certain type of customer. I finally gave up on another round and paid for my $40+ dollar drink and left.

What do I say about The Collins Bar? I had my first date here, so every so often I return. On ALL of my visits it's been consistent: laid back, people are nice, atmosphere is welcoming, drinks are great (and they sure they stay coming). I just love the Periodic Table posted up behind the bar that has Birmingham elements!Go try it out!!

Was better when it 1st opened, but now? Overpriced drinks with very slow service. Nice decor though. Clean too.
Atmosphere: Collins is a dark and cozy bar, perfect for an intimate gathering with friends or a nice date night. Service: It was pretty busy when we went, but we were able to snag a table as a group was leaving. Our server was friendly and happy to explain their ordering process. Collins doesn't have a set drink menu; instead, you provide your preferences for a drink, and the bar will whip something up for you! Food: We asked for a green tea shot-inspired cocktail. We were served a cocktail with notes of whiskey, spices, and lemon. Our whole group was satisfied with the drinks served! Overall: Collins is a lowkey, chic lounge to grab unique drinks. The staff and bartenders are friendly, and the ambiance pairs well with libations. We don't frequent bars, but Collins would be our spot of choice if we're looking to go out for a drink.

Wanted a nice spot to just have a few drinks and chill. Places order and was never served. The lady never told the bartender the order. We politely left. After we had sat and others came in,, received drinks. I guess we were light enough to receive service.

“Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.” For us that “sometimes” is every time and that “where” is The Collins Bar. Yes, it’s directly next to our office but it could be on the moon and we’d be there for happy hour if modern travel would allow. The Collins Bar is the perfect mix of cocktail bar and chill dive. You want a creative take on a Boulevardier? They’ve got you. You want an ice cold PBR tall boy? They’ve got you there too. Oh, you like tots? Well get ready for the perfect little crispy and salty bar snacks. Everything served with a welcoming smile and not even the slightest air of pretension.The Collins Bar is our go to. Our ride or die. Give it a try and it’ll be your ride or die too.

Great place and cool vibe. The drinks were very creative but a little sweet, even for the classics.

tried to come here with a pedal tour group around 6pm on a Friday, the bar was empty. we were turned away because they “don’t take pedal tour groups”. i would understand if we were obnoxious or already drunk, but this was our first stop. disappointing, especially since the pedal tour group listed that this was a stop we could pick from.
Great drinks , Great atmosphere!
