About The Refinery

The Refinery offers a refined and laidback atmosphere, with great service and delectable dishes. The restaurant boasts a nice selection of local craft beers and mixed drinks, making it a recommended spot for diners in downtown Birmingham. The food is amazing, with Chicken piccata to die for and spectacular smash burger. Customers mention the great outdoor patio, and that the vibes were positive, fun, and the music was cheerful, energetic, & uplifting. The service is the best, with attentive staff who have great recommendations. The drinks are the shining star, with the ISLAND NECTAR SHOT, OHANA & HONEYCOMB, and the SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP being highly recommended. They also enjoyed the TRUFFLE FRIES and a thick, not overcooked pork chop with roast potatoes.

The Refinery is a cozy, eclectic spot tucked alongside other small businesses and bars. The food was good, the staff was friendly, and the overall vibe felt relaxed and comfortable. It's not quite a "hippie" vibe, but definitely leans artsy and laid-back. The crowd seemed to be in their 30s and up, so it felt more mature than a typical young nightlife scene.

Living in the area, Lakeview is the favorite neighborhood, and after finding The Refinery, it has quickly become one of the favorite neighborhood spots to support. Everything from lunch to dinner to great cocktails! Very cozy and a great neighborhood vibe!

The vibe, the service, and the attention to details are unmatched. The food is consistent and the cocktails are well balanced, fit for any occasion. The Miso Chicken Sandwich on a croissant is highly recommended.
