Places for lunch in the old business district are rare. This food court was about a half mile walk from the Civil Rights Institute on streets that were empty of pedestrians midday midweek. The various kiosks include tacos, pho, burgers and sandwiches. There are tables in a bare plaza and also indoors.

We visited this renovated food hall on our way out of Birmingham. The space itself is really cool and features some great food options. I had the poke and a bubble tea, which were both delicious. There is seating inside the hall and in the attractive patio space outside. Fun spot for a quick lunch!

A wonderful place to go and relax with a nice drink. The bartenders are the sweetest and makes you feel welcome

We were so happy to find this Food Court, which looks like it was once a big Department Store in it's past and then converted into a set of mini Food Counters and a big Grand Bar to buy Alcoholic Beverages and Drinks and socialize in the middle of the room. They get a lot of people in there to eat and drink and enjoy the place. The food is good, but the prices are kind of high for what you get. They also have Restrooms, and an Eyeglass Shop is in the Food Hall. They have plenty of seating in this Food Hall, and many Counters for you to choose on, and so you can find certainly something to suit your appetite. The Cinema is downstairs, and the Imax & Science Museum is right across the Street from this Food Hall. Again we were happy to find this place for Food.

Great staff and fun cocktails to choose from. Music is always on point. I’ll be back!

Best drinks and bar in Birmingham! Great spot before events downtown!

Hate that I’m having to leave a bad review because the atmosphere is great, and the drinks are actually good. But the service here needs some work. I sat for almost 20 minutes before having to literally flag down a bartender to even be acknowledged. Not even a “hello, I’ll be right with you”, as I know they can be busy. But to ignore new customers completely, there is no excuse. After finally receiving my drink and asking to close out right away. I pulled out my card as he handed me the receipt but the bartender still sat the receipt down and disappeared for another 30 minutes. My card on the receipt with the cash tip underneath sat on the bar for 30 minutes. Lol I’m sorry as a bartender myself, you’re literally asking for a walk out. I was generous to still leave a tip but this service was sub-par, and that’s being nice ? The quality of service should match customer expectations when they walk into what is portrayed visually to be a mid-to-upscale dining and bar experience. So I hope you all work on that. These bartenders need to pay better attention and talk to their customers. Have some personality. That’s half the job.

I love this bar! We used to live at the Pizitz and there was a lot of comfort in knowing that if we wanted an adult beverage all we had to do was take a elevator down and pull up to the Louis! Run by Chuy who is great but the heart of the bar is within the Bartenders. Lindsey and Robin were always keeping our glasses full and stopping by for a chat when not busy. Always a good place to hang out and people watch or just have a snack. Right in the middle of a dozen small restaurants you cannot go wrong. As you can see the place is hopping on Halloween and on other occasions as well. Chuy always has a special running. Happy hour specials, Sunday brunch drink specials. He is all over it. Can’t wait to get back and catch up.UrbanCowgillOct 2021.

First time in the food court and The Louis did not disappoint. Only one bartender on duty but he did an excellent job keeping up with an almost full bar. The cocktail selections are great so I need to return and sample some more. Several customers grabbed food from the surrounding stalls to enjoy at the bar.

We went to the Pho restaurant at the Pizitz, and in the establishment’s defense, we did not realize that we were going to a food hall. We had the tonkatsu ramen and the beef bugolgi entrees. Truthfully it was the least compelling version of tonkatsu ramen I have ever tried (broth was probably just the pho broth with ramen noodles instead of pho noodles) and the bulgolgi was very light on the marinade. All in all, it was fine since we were really hungry and not in the mood to travel far, but it’s not someplace that we would go out of the way to try again.

By Far one of my favorite places to drop in any day of the week the owner and all bartenders have extensive knowledge of spirits and beer on premises. This is without a doubt a hidden gem in Birmingham always a great time.

The Louis is an upscale bar located in the middle of Pizitz Food Hall! My friend enjoyed both of his drinks! ??He was throwing him back, with no complaints! ?The bartender was very friendly and knew his craft! I ?? I love the creative names for their drinks ( Way 2 Sexy and Mexican Stand Off). Very nice atmosphere and plenty of seating! So if you work downtown or just want to go hang out downtown, go check it out! Don't let parking be an issue, as there is plenty of parking in the Pizitz Food Hall Parking Deck located on the back side of the building! The Louis!???

We loved the selection of places to eat, but was not impressed with the fact that it cost $20 to park in the parking deck and it was terrible trying to get out!
