Fun little hole in the wall. Bartenders were amazing and the drinks were good!

If you dare, get the barrel aged Malort.

Awesome pub, even better staff. Look forward to retuning.

We recently hosted an after party for our wedding at the Rusty Nail and it was the perfect place for it. It's a great atmosphere and a cool space, the drinks were great, and all of our guests really enjoyed it. Ivan and his team were awesome to work with, super accommodating. All around great experience and I can definitely see this place being perfect just for a hang or with a group for drinks.

A very dive-bar atmosphere, but with charm. I really enjoyed my time here. The drinks were moderately priced and made with care and consideration. My friend requested a gin drink and the bartender asked her a bunch of questions about her taste preferences and made her a fantastic drink. They have an extremely extensive whiskey selection and have Whiskey Wednesday discounts on all the options. The bartender was super friendly too.

In the spirit of full disclosure I have to say I honestly miss the previous bar at this location, the Mermaid (that was a super dive bar nearly on par with Snake'n Jakes for sheer shady dive awesomeness with the addition of cool live music a la Saturn Bar like). They did quite an extensive renovation of this space and it looks all very shiny, new, and Warehouse Districty like now with none of its past dive glory remaining. This is the headquarters of all things associated with the University of Alabama and they have nearly all their local events here. During college game days this place will be at least 99% Alabama folks and a whole lot of them any other time. They do have food here but I've never sampled any of it but it looked like some decent outdoor grill type fare. They have a nice outdoor patio and it is great that they are non-smoking inside. Parking can be very tight and often a pain in the area so I usually try to park farther away and walk a bit to avoid the congestion and crazy parking people do that often block other cars in. So far I've had ok times here but nothing close to the fun I used to have at the Mermaid Lounge.
Great little out of the way place with a huge bourbon selection. Staff was friendly and helped us select something we enjoyed. Beautiful back patio. Highly recommend.
