“Great bar! Tonight was our first time visiting and you could tell it was a lot busier than usual due to a wedding part followed by Drag-Bingo. A couple of our orders were wrong but after notifying someone it was quickly fixed. All in all great atmosphere, decent food, fun drinks, and friendly staff. I will definitely be going again!“
“Love, love the vibe! Great staff!“

“There are some restaurants you eat at once and enjoy, and then there are places like WT’s that feel like they’re stitched into the fabric of the community. After 39 years of being open, this place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an icon in Bessemer. Honestly, it deserves to be considered a historic landmark.
We came in and had the bologna sandwich and the shrimp salad, and both were absolutely outstanding. The bologna sandwich was piled high, grilled just right, and hit every nostalgic note you could hope for. The shrimp salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the soup of the day was rich and comforting—true scratch-made goodness that you don’t find just anywhere. Even the sweet tea, served in a mason jar, felt right at home here.
But WT’s isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people. Meeting Wanda and Patti was an absolute highlight—they welcomed us like family, and that warmth is exactly why so many people keep coming back year after year. Reading through other reviews, you can see the same story repeated over and over: great food, great service, and the kind of Southern hospitality that makes you feel like you belong.
The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious—nothing fancy, just real and genuine. You can feel the history in the place, and it’s clear how much love and effort has gone into keeping it thriving for nearly four decades.
If you’re anywhere near Bessemer, you owe it to yourself to stop here. Whether it’s for a quick lunch, a hearty dinner, or just to soak up the atmosphere of a true local gem, WT’s delivers. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why independent restaurants matter so much—because they’re built on tradition, pride, and community.
WT’s is more than a meal—it’s an experience, and one you won’t forget“

“Was looking g for a place for a quick old fashioned. This place was recommended and did not disappoint. Great little place“
“JT’s is fairly basic as far as hotel bars go, though I’d think the renaissance would hold a higher standard. The food was excellent; fresh and delicious, just limited in variety. The drink menu was elevated but felt extremely short for a cocktail lounge. The staff did a great job, but were clearly struggling to keep up with the crowd.
Vegetarian options: Limited standard menu, so veg options are extremely limited.“

“I love this establishment. The atmosphere is great.“
“We arrived late and had a few drinks but I loved this spot. Not too big of a space, but it was very intimate, and the live music was everything. The singer and band on stage were very talented and did an excellent job on their cover of some classics. Will definitely visit again.“

“Amazing atmosphere, service, and cocktails. I went with my friend on a Tuesday night and it was a great place to grab a drink post dinner and chat! Lovely cozy atmosphere with nice music, easy to talk and enjoy our drinks! I got the el Diablo and she got the Granada cocktail both were delightful! Our server Joe was great, very kind, friendly, and prompt in helping us!“
“This was a cozy hotel in the historic 5 points area. We used street parking which was free on the evenings and weekends. Our bed was comfy and cleaned on day 2 of 3. Tiffany and Justin at the front desk were so kind and helpful! They made our stay so enjoyable even though the key cards for the rooms didn’t work.“
