50 Best Bars near Hoover

“bartenders are great. food is great. they have karaoke on Wednesdays and maybe other nights as well I'm not sure. they stay open till 2:00 a.m. which is great if you want to go somewhere after work. it's very laid back environment. they have a couple of pool tables and darts and multiple restrooms which is great for a bar instead of a line.“

“Visiting here from Pittsburgh, Pa. Great little sandwich shop…had the Camilla. I have to say it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had! Friendly atmosphere and wonderful service. I will be back on my next visit!!!“

“We were in Ross Bridge for the farmers market and decided to try Front Porch while we were there.

We were seated immediately and met by our server at our table of choice on the patio.

We chose to start with the bacon bombs and cheese curds. This was an excellent choice!! Bacon wrapped kielbasa in a candied BBQ style sauce! Sign me up for seconds!

The cheese curds were great as well! Deep fried and melted to perfection!! Even better when you dip them in the bacon bomb sauce.

My wife got the chicken finger platter and I grabbed the chicken lettuce wraps.

Chicken fingers were hand breaded and fried crisp. She asked for extra bacon bomb sauce to dip them in. Sweet potato fries were crispy with a honey sauce.

Chicken lettuce wraps had an excellent taste but were a little dry. Made from breast meat, just seemed a little over cooked.

Service was excellent, patio was nice and airy with a view of the street and area. Restaurant was clean and quiet.

Would stop by again when we are in the area!“

“Lots of choices on their menu and food is good“

“Excellent establishment. The Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the selections are VERY good. The Beer and Wine tasting events are excellent as well. If you enjoy good beer and/or good wine and you're not visiting this place then you're missing out!!!“

“Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere, wonderful place to spend a beautiful day.“

“We love their BBQ! We eat there all of the time and take our grown kids there too! The catfish, wings, and Pork sandwiches are amazing! Friendly staff too!“

“Racist don't want people of color in or around his business.“

“Best brunch I’ve had in years (& I brunch often). The restaurant is in a cool area, had a great atmosphere with a fun attentive staff, and most importantly delicious food. We had the bottomless tapas brunch with complementary mimosas. We enjoyed the variety of tapas options and nothing disappointed. My delightfully full stomach forced me to stop, but some standouts were the Lox, Fried Green Tomatoes, Steak & Gouda Biscuits, French Toast, Jalapeño Bacon, and exquisite Beignets. It’s a modest sized place, so make a reservation and thank me later!“

“We had a great time tonight for Valentine’s Day. The food and drinks were wonderful and we really appreciated the atmosphere and roomy table distances. Will definitely be back.“

“This by far is my favorite place to eat and drink. If your looking for an ice cold beer, glass of wine or a cocktail handed to you by the best bartenders - this is your place! Best sandwiches and soup. Incredible bar to hang out and chill.“

“Cool spot to see a show and have some drinks.“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“We had our besties birthday get together there Saturday night and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! It was literally perfect from the bubble machine to dressing up as Elvis to playing cards against humanity. Literally perfection! The owner is absolutely amazing and came in clutch for our group! Thank you for one of the best nights ever!“

“Friendly owners and patrons!!! I felt like family on my first time visiting. If I’m ever back in town I will definitely stop and say hi!!! Thank you guys!“

“We had brunch this past Sunday and the food was incredible. We had a large table and each of us got something different. Every single item on the menu was so delish! We will be back!! It was a fun atmosphere. The drinks and the food were amazing.“

“Everything was delicious!! Steak Tartare, Chicken Liver Mousse and Escargot as appetizers, Trout Amondine and Basque Cake make this one of the best dining experiences I have ever enjoyed in Bham. Service was the best!!! Even met Frank Stitt!!! Can’t wait to go back soon!!!“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“Great service and great drinks! Shout out to Princess and Ricky! Always a good time when they are working!“

“I've never done this before, but I'm not even going to mention the food in this survey, nothing wrong with it, it just doesnt hold a candle to the service we received! We ate there tonight and had Maddy D as our server and she was unlike any server I've ever had. I mean she was holding multiple trays and plates effortlessly while navigating the handheld scanner, while cracking jokes and making the whole table feel invited and welcomed. I have truly never seen someone so great at what they're doing, working their butt off but not at all letting you know how hard they're working. I would say she's the type of server everyone should strive to be like, but I dont think that level is achievable. If you are a business owner and want the most capable employee, come to soho social and ask for Maddy d. FIND ANY position in your company for her and she will nail it, she's that kind of person.“

“Great beer quick service love it“

“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 you know him like I do, you know he was impressed. Lol. We also enjoyed a very nice Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, which I was thrilled to see by the glass. The GM came over and talked to us for a while also, allowing me to rave to him about how much we enjoyed everything. A great experience, and a great value. We will DEFINITELY be back!!“

“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.“

“All around experience was phenomenal! The name of the club was perfect, theme song for the night was "Issa Vibe". Reserved one of the birthday sections, which was beautiful. The whole club is nicely decorated, even the outdoor stage and seating area continued the nice laid back ambiance. The staff was friendly and accomadating, security was attentive and welcoming, Bando the DJ kept the vibe going reading the room well. Last but not least when the food truck opened up, we started dancing all over again when he brought the plates to wings and fries were on point.The review is a little long, but I wanted to express how much fun I had at such an awesome venue, we will definitely be back. The people, the venue, the entire staff are all a whole vibe!! Thank you, thank you and thank you, my birthday celebration was amazing!“

“Love this spot. Blend #4 is one the best beers in town, and Ryan is great behind the bar.“

“A group of us 4 ladies had so much fun at Parkside on 5th. We met Tim, the owner and he was delightful. The food and drinks were yummy and the atmosphere was perfect. I will be back. And oh, did I mention the candles? I bought several candles from Tim and they all smell delicious. I am a candle hoarder and these are the BEST. Thanks Tim for the cocktails and conversation!“

“RosėRita is so good and the Wings!!!??! 😋 O-'M-'G! the wings❤ I love to get a Margarita or 3 on Taco Tuesdays they just pair so well together 👍🏼“

“If you like to get out and grab a drink from time to time this is a great place to visit! The atmosphere is unmatched compared to a few other places I've visited. It's for older crowds though it's rarely crowded; the drinks are always good and they cater to football fans.“

“Love this place! Bingo is my favorite, Nanny's cooking is always fantastic. Always quick to get a drink!“

“Love love love everybody!! Les“

“Always great service and top notch selection. My wife and I consider it our favorite spot for a night cap. We actually ate dinner 5 mins from home, then drove 15 mins downtown just to come here because nowhere else would do on a special occasion.“

“Great service and atmosphere, drinks were great and the hostess makes sure you're satisfied, I ended up having vodka and cranberry juice , I preferred cognac but it is not available there. I would recommend this place for a fun and exiting evening with great mixed drinks.“

“Great environment for family and friends to enjoy themselves congratulation Nephew Dee good job happy belated birthday sorry I can’t make it but I always love from Unk B“

“A real bar with real people. Not quite "Cheers" but plenty of regulars that create a kind of family atmosphere. Drinks are stiff and affordable, the jukebox holds a lot of classics, the decorations are quirky, and guests as well as staff are welcoming and friendly. Not ADA compliment and no one under the age of 21 is admitted.The bar is a little too simple, too worn, and too divy to deserve a 5 star rating but that doesn't mean that you cannot have a 6 star experience at this place“

“Great chill spot. Drinks on point“

“Great service and food is always good.“

“We were visiting Birmingham and stopped by this place. The blackened shrimp has nice flavor, well seasoned. I loved crust on the spinach patties. The peas and rice was tasty. Make sure to ask for the gravy if you like them a little saucy. Make sure you stop by and give this place a try.“

“always fun with a great staf f“
