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 and a spectacular smash burger.

Customers mention the great outdoor patio, and that the vibes were positive, fun, and the music was cheerful, energetic, and 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.

The Refinery is a cozy, eclectic spot, and the overall vibe feels relaxed and comfortable. The crowd seems to be in their 30s and up, so it feels more mature than a typical young nightlife scene. 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.

Small place, but very nice and they’ve made awesome use of additional outdoor seating. The menu is small, but extremely well thought out and delicious! We had the smash burger and the French dip. Regular fries and the truffle fries, cheese sticks, and a delicious salad. It was 10/10!

Had dinner here last night for the first time with my hubby and we loved it! Andy took great care of us even though he had a full bar and we were sitting at a table. The food was fantastic. I had the sea bass, which had a delightful crispy sear but was not at all overcooked. Also a great price for sea bass! My husband got the burger and loved it. He doesn’t get excited about food like I do, but said “mmm, this is a really good burger” at least 4 times while eating it. If...read full review
