Twelve25 Sports Bar

first visited Twelve25 over 5 years ago, and it immediately became one of my favorite spots on the Strip in Tuscaloosa. Back then, my friends and I sat outside and loved the chill, relaxed vibe. Even with only one waitress on duty, we never went without anything—she was so sweet and patient. Happy Hour until 9 with $5 double wells is a steal (my go-to was a Tequila Sunrise), and the $5 food options like chicken nuggets and fries were fresh, delicious, and paired perfectly with their amazing honey mustard sauce.

Fast forward to today, and Twelve25 is still a staple for me. The bartenders are always great, and Justin in particular has been making me fantastic drinks since the very beginning—always friendly, attentive, and consistent. That kind of service keeps people coming back.

Some of my favorite memories are from their Wednesday Bingo nights—$1 wings, great prizes, healthy competition, and so much fun! Those nights were a highlight of the week, and I’d love to see them come back.

On top of all that, Twelve25 has been more than just a restaurant for me. I probably wouldn’t have finished my three post-secondary degrees without it—I loved being able to sit here, listen to music, grab a drink and some food, and actually knock out assignments. From open until 9 pm, the vibe is always that perfect mix of energy and chill.

If you’re in Tuscaloosa, make sure to check out Twelve25. Great food, awesome drinks, fun events, and staff who make you feel welcome every single time.

Justin was my bartender, and he was awesome! He was quick, and he made my night. We had a really cool conversation, which is rare at bars on the strip. Plus, the drinks he made were amazing!! I told him to just make something he asked what alcohol did I want, and he worked his magic. Definitely will be going back to see that guy!

Not a good late-night choice for young college girls; the security guards are extremely rude and VERY unnecessarily touchy. I get dealing with inebriated college students can be tough, but that is not an excuse for a grown man to be shoving and grabbing teenage girls. I’ve had my waist grabbed unnecessarily by security and had my shoulders shoved when I was leaning up against a wall. I am 5’3, and these dudes are much bigger than me, so they truly have no reason to be putting their hands on me. Other girls have said that they’ve had uncomfortable experiences with the security. Expensive cover, claustrophobic atmosphere. Just not worth it overall.

Had a great time! Great food and friendly staff😁

The food is okay! I ordered wings and so did my friends.The fries were brought out to us first then our wings came much later..The wings were big in size and under cooked so I sent mine back...The owner rectified the situation and fixed another batch of wings for me free of charge.I do think the sauce could be better though..It's not the best taste.(Mild Lemon Pepper)

Worst music in Tuscaloosa and the everything is over priced there is racism towards minorities from staff and customers even though the owner is black and the security bullies customers most the workers do coke the place should have been shut down for multiple reasons but they keep sliding by with over capacity, drug use etc
