50 Best Bars near Irondale

“Entered the restaurant to find a sparkling clean place. Quick service.
Best catfish I have had in a very long time. My wife and I were extremely impressed with the catfish and coleslaw and intend to return soon.

Good luck to the owners and workers and I wish you much success.“

“You do not have to take a drink if you do not want it. And I am pretty sure that your waitress could run circles around you. If that is all that you have to complain about….ONE BEER…you may need to just stay home.“

“FANTASTIC restaurant! Drinks are on point, food is amazing, and the staff makes this one of our fav restaurants and definitely a repeat! 10/10 recommend!“

“The absolute sweetest customer service, best atmosphere, and delicious food! 10/10 recommend! 💚“

“Stopped in for lunch with my toddler and sat outside. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was a nice start. Food-wise…it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst either. I’d eat here again.

The kid’s corn dogs were a hit and my daughter devoured them. Fries were very salty (which I actually love), but a bit much for my toddler, so I kept those to myself. The egg rolls were just okay, like a 3/5. They needed a better dipping sauce…. not sure what exactly, but the ones that came with it were kinda blah.

Wings had good flavor, but they had that weird fridge taste… might’ve just been me. I took them home, tossed them in some hot BBQ sauce, hit them with the air fryer, and they turned out pretty tasty.

Sitting outside was fine, but a few patio fans would’ve helped with the heat. There were a lot of flies, but hey….. that’s just outdoor dining sometimes.

Oh and when it’s time to pay, you have to pay on their handheld device and it’s just annoying to me. It’s 2025, just give me a receipt with a QR Code to scan (with exception of paying cash).

Overall, chill spot. I’d come back.“

“Love the atmosphere here and live music! might be Birmingham’s best hidden gem. Also, don’t skip out on the cheeseburger….the best I’ve had in a really long time!!!“

“This place is awesome. The vibes are good and bartenders are so nice. Drinks are spectacular and creative.“

“Best bar in Birmingham — and we have tried ALL of them. The drinks are good (and at great prices, for Birmingham), but the staff and atmosphere are really what makes the place so special. They take a lot of pride in what they do and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels celebrated. Forever grateful for our HOFO crew!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“A good safe spot to come and let your hair down“

“One of the finest meals you will ever have …. anywhere !“

“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!“

“I love this establishment. The atmosphere is great.“

“wonderful atmosphere, friendly owners, both John and Eric are great! amazing drinks that change seasonally and the best food truck ever, try the Brussels!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“It's already got a "'Nick' name", lol, pun intended. To be around for such a short time and already be addressed so affectionally says it all.“

“amazing bartender 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗“

“Awesome place to be, my first time there and it won't be my last. I had an awesome experience for it being my first time, good people, awesome bartender, very friendly people. Thanks for a great time and good conversation, I will return.“

“Goat Popper was way too good (props to the kitchen), and we had the most charming bartender ever slingin’ the best drinks and maintaining a legit vibe all the while. I will definitely be coming back asap.“

“Omg! Definitely a must have!!! We are incredibly picky but tonight we had an amazing dinner & drinks.“

“It's always Lit at Lit!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“In my opinion this is the Best place for Daiquiri’s in my city Birmingham,Al !! No bad vibes or weird energy just delicious, well crafted drinks. You will barely taste the alcohol which is good for me because I’m a lightweight who doesn’t like a strong tasting drink . As a really introverted person this place made me feel welcome and at ease !“

“Great beer quick service love it“

“This place is the bar version of the establishment. Good music that is played so one can hear it but can talk with others. Plenty of seating and a rustic darkish atmosphere. Emma is a very good bartender and fun, friendly. The food we had is worth the investment with chicken tenders , either grilled or blackened, thumbs up! Street corn also tasty. Seems to have plenty of parking nearby. Overall worth going here for food and drinks.“

“Love the vibe❤️🎶, great drink, friendly attentive staff. Definitely a go to spot. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍹🍹🍷🍹🍷🍷🍹“

“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.“

“Party all the time with Eastside Lounge“

“Let's get started, on Friday the 14th Dana and Steven stopped in while attending the Alabama Fiber Festival at the Brewery next door on Friday for lunch. So glad we did their French Onion Soup was absolutely delicious and the Smash Burgers unbelievable. So good we went back on Saturday We had the Pub Sub and Macaroni n Cheese both delicious and Steven another bowl of French Onion Soup. Anytime we are in the are of this location or the other location this will be a have to stop in. Delicious food fun atmosphere and great staff.“

“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!!!“

“First visit here, everyone very friendly and welcoming, good grilled burgers, hot dogs, and all the extras!!! Nice Building, very clean, and had a Great band " The Real Horizon Band" with a wide variety of music, from country, to Heart, and some Great old Rock&Roll... The Female Singer was Awsome, and they had some great harmony too!!!“

“The staff here are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met! I stopped by THE EDGE after work, hoping to find some late-night food. I ended up grabbing a bite at THE QUE*BICLE (seriously, their wings and mac and cheese are amazing!). While looking for a place to sit, I wandered into Corbeau Wine Bar and met their incredible team. They noticed I had my food and invited me to sit on their patio, which was warmer and way more comfortable than where I was before. They didn’t have to do that, but they went out of their way to make sure I felt welcome. That’s when I met Kay, one of the waitresses, who took the time to tell me all about the drinks they offer and the idea behind the space. She was so warm and friendly, and it felt like she genuinely cared about creating a great experience. By the time I left, I wasn’t just full—I was reminded that there are still places where people go out of their way to show kindness and connect. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a moment I won’t forget. Amazing people, amazing vibes—I’ll definitely be back!“

“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 👍🏼“

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

“the history that is still prevalent at the API is simply astonishing to me. I absolutely LOVE all the members and their unique personality they share with each other“

“Ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye“

“First time visiting, but was welcomed like we were regulars. Gary Jackson is great with the karaoke & bartenders were, as well. My wife and I had a great time. We will visit again!“

“Great chill spot. Drinks on point“

“We visited this renovated food hall on our way out of Birmingham. The space itself is really cool and features some great food options. I had the poke and a bubble tea, which were both delicious. There is seating inside the hall and in the attractive patio space outside. Fun spot for a quick lunch!“

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

“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.“

“I was staying in Birmingham for an occasion. I ordered a burger and fries to go from The Lab Bar and Grill. Malik Moore was my waiter and he was awesome. I had asked for a few extra items on the burger and Malik came back to double check and make sure that I didn’t want anything else on it. He was polite and professional. The burger and fries were very good!“

“Good Drinks.... Good people.... Good Food.... Great fun!!!!“
