“First time to visit and we weren't disappointed! We went for lunch and sat outside - weather was perfect. Friendly and efficient staff, food came quickly, and our drinks were refilled without our even asking.
My husband and both of our friends all ordered the French Dip. They all liked it very much.
I ordered the Cranberry Pecan Salad and added grilled chicken. Their dressings are made in-house. Salad was delicious!
Definitely recommend going there. We'll be back soon.“

“I went to 2 different places looking for a certain wine before ending up at Pleasure is All Wine. They didn't have what I was looking for but showed me a wine just as good as what I was looking for. Very friendly and helpful service. Will be going here from now on for my wine. Thank you“

“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!“

“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“

“Our favorite bar in Bham, hands down. Taffy and Di are the best bartenders in the city! They make everyone feel welcome. The ambience is exactly what you’d want in a dive bar. If you’re in the Homewood area, this funky little dive is an absolute can’t miss! Make sure to bring some dollar bills for the jukebox when you stop by!“

“In the heart of 5 Points Birmingham is a hidden jewel. It's one of those rare venues where you immediately meet new friends and easily become the extended family of the staff and patrons. Every time we open the door we feel like we are home! Definitely check out the music, they have the best in wonderfully talented and often local bands and performers! They are handicapped accessible and have a lift in front. The owners are fantastic and very accommodating, we've attended friends' birthdays there with DJs and catered food. if you are looking for a spot to feel like home, please treat yourselves to Dobber's!“

“Stopped by The Electric in Avondale and was honestly impressed. Grabbed a pub sub and the white chicken chili and both were fantastic. The sub was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, and the white chicken chili was rich, comforting, and perfect on a cooler day. Great spot with a solid menu and a relaxed Birmingham vibe. I’ll definitely be back to try more.“

“I had fish & fries & they were both seasoned to perfection. I also had 3 Long Islands 🤣 don’t judge me, judge your mammy lol! I will definitely return! All I can say is come early for a table it’s only 9:30 & it’s standing room only! Great DJ, food, & drinks….i had the pleasure of meeting the owner who gave me a little history about the business! Must visit yall thank me later especially if you enjoy an older, mature, crowd! FYI!! I spent $10 on fish & fries… my Long Islands were $8 each can’t beat it, owner purchased 1… I can’t wait for my friends to come from Atlanta so we can show out 🤣“

“I walked from the hotel and dare I say that the walk was a little sketchy. If I had to guess, I’d say that I wasn’t in the most favorable area of Birmingham, but nevertheless I blended in because I was in a familiar environment. Initially, I thought that the food truck outside was the bar, but I was able to go inside the bar and watch the game until my food was ready. I ordered a double shot of Jameson and the price was a bit more than I was accustomed to paying, but needless to say I didn’t scoff at the price. I like how both of the business were working together and from what I was able to see from the short amount of time that I was there is that it’s a popular corner of Birmingham. I would recommend it.“

“Love love love everybody!! Les“

“Fantastic cocktail bar! We had delicious drinks and food! The salt and vinegar chickpeas were fantastic! So was the Bahn Mi! We are visiting from out of town and the owner was so kind to tell us about the area and some entertaining stories about his life! He told us the history of the building as well! 10/10 recommend this place or cool vibes, unique cocktail, and delicious food!“

“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 👍🏼“

“The setting is distinctly laid-back. The DJ's playlist seamlessly blended music from various eras, sustaining an upbeat mood. Guests interacted freely, fostering a convivial atmosphere. This establishment is geared towards individuals aged 40 and above. It offers a secure space to relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of work without unnecessary fanfare.“

“Great chill spot. Drinks on point“

“Great food and excellent customer service me and my daughter liked it“

“I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant after passing by it so many times while traveling through Downtown Homewood. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown. That said, it wasn’t terrible by any means, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. A friend and I dined here together as most of my readers know, I often bring someone along for reviews to offer more than just my own perspective. Appetizer: We started with the Tallulah Wings, opting for the Sweet Heat Dry Rub with Alabama White BBQ sauce. The first surprise was that the wings arrived already coated in the sauce. In my opinion, when a sauce is meant as a dip, it’s best served on the side, not as a coating. Unfortunately, the wings themselves were quite underseasoned it reminded me of drinking a LaCroix, with just a faint whisper of the sweet heat flavor. That said, the little flavor I could taste had a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of Golden Flake potato chips and those are undeniably delicious. I just wish the wings had packed more of a punch. Entrée: Next, we tried the Social Stack, essentially their version of a McDonald's Big Mac. I have to say, it was significantly better than a Big Mac. The sauce was flavorful, the patties were fresh and well-seasoned, and everything came together beautifully. It’s a rich burger, but the crispy, seasoned fries helped balance that richness. The freshness and flavor made this burger a standout I’d absolutely order it again. If it weren’t for the disappointing wings, this meal would have earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. As it stands, I’m giving it 3 out of 5. However, I do plan to return and explore more of their menu. I believe there’s potential here, and I’m hopeful my next visit will be a more satisfying experience.“
