We visit The Refinery every time we come to Birmingham. Excellent selection of whatever floats your boat, and a fantastic cocktail program. Great food options as well. I really like starting with the truffle fries - good way to snack for a bit with a nice drink before getting into the meal.

But the best part of this place is the atmosphere. It's cozy without being cramped, perfect for striking up a conversation with those around you or sitting back and watching a game on one of their three large screens. And the staff is top notch - attentive, knowledgeable, and gracious. Notably the staff all have a very good rapport with each other, which I find is often a key element in creating a good vibe.

Recommend without hesitation for your next night out.

The Refinery has quickly become a staple for us every time we’re in town. Consistently great food, excellent cocktails (try the espresso martini), and the service is top notch. Well worth going out of your way to come here!

The Refinery is an absolute gem! The food is good, and the ambiance is so warm & welcoming. Dimly lit w/ music playing & sports on the TVs while we eat. Even the simplest thing, like the caprese salad, so yummy.
PS: Look for Andy! He makes the best tasting drinks I’ve ever had.

Food was good. What turned we off was the moment we walked in, empty restaurant but they made us feel like we were bothering them. Totally didn’t feel welcome.

Their old fashion is out of this world! Definitely a 10/10! The small environment makes for a more intimate dining experience

Small but great find in BHAM. Great stop fora bite with coworkers on a travel project. Friendly staff, quick service. Nothing on tap, but found something good from the brief list. Was a nice calm casual experience for lunch mid-week.

Good food, a bit over priced for the very basic menu. Has a lot of potential with a clean contemporary feel. Good choice if you're looking for a upscale feel for lunch.

Great place but the Bartenders were hung over and couldn’t concentrate they messed up my girlfriends food, did not refill my drink, I had to repeat everything 3 times before they could comprehend what I was saying.
Fries suck !!
Service sucks!
Get some sleep please. Don’t party so hard the night before. It’s not only good for your health but also good for business.
