I sat at the bar. There was a large spill on the counter which I assumed the bartender would just wipe up before serving me. Instead he put a thin napkin over it and put my drink directly in the goop. Not next to it but directly in the spot. I’m from out of town and even at the divviest of dive bars I’ve never had poor service like that. It was gross and off putting. I had to ask the bartender to clean it up to which he seemed surprised and claimed it was because they were transitioning from a busy night. I get being consumed by a rush but when I came in it was quiet with only a handful of people. It seems like common curtesy to clean up for a new patron. Or at least don’t put my drink directly in someone else mess— yuck. Bummer.

Lauren was amazing! Was very present and made sure me and my friends had a good time on a random Monday!

Came in on Monday night. Bartender never acknowledged me and when I ask if they had a drink menu, she replied yes and proceeded to treat me as if I were not there. Mind you that there are only 6 people inside and one irrdom ordering. Very slow night.

Great bar with a great atmosphere and service. My only complaint is that they allow dogs inside the bar. One of the bartenders wasted water from a dog bowl on my shoes which is highly unsanitary. I'm also allergic which left me sneezing all night. Not trying to be rude but dogs should only be allowed outside of the bar unless it's a service animal. Other then that it was great. Thanks!

The atmosphere is so inviting, it's hard to want to leave! Especially when the staff are so fun and friendly. They're always changing up the menu and offering great drink specials. Easily our favorite bar in bham ♡

I have never experienced anything like this. Our party showed up, and we were asked to order “something easy” so we did - 4 Sauvignon blanc, and before we could finish our order I was told they were out of wine. We were refused anything else with no explanation - except I got to experience the fantastic gaslighting experience of hearing “you must of have too much to drink already so I can’t serve you”. Nice tactic, but not valid. I don’t know what kind of place this is, but if this kind of behavior is acceptable, it does not bode well for female patrons. If you don’t want to be open, say it. Don’t make your customers the problem when you are. As a side note, an existing customer actually apologized for the bartender’s behavior. That’s pretty bad.

It’s such an unpleasant place with unpleasant bartenders. They’re rude and high on some sort of power which doesn’t exist. The women bartender act ghetto like they’ll fight you when you’re the customer. If I could give it 0 stars I will. There’s no hospitality in this place
