50 Best Bars near Birmingham

“I eaten at Hazel's several times. Each time sitting at the bar. Heather is an awesome bartender. I found that the kitchen can be spotty but the service has always been on point. The happy hour menu, available 3-6 Tuesday through Sunday, is a great deal.“

“Company Holiday Party!! Food is always fantastic, and drink service for SO many people in the back room was amazing as always.“

“Great food great atmosphere .... perfect place for a girls night out🥰“

“On Set. 19, I brought my 96-yr-old mom here for a drink and hors d'oeuvres. I had sent a note on the online reservation form that we would appreciate a quiet table. The receptionist had knowledge of the request without my saying anything, and immediately showed me three locations she thought would suit. I wish I had gotten her name, for management to commend her. (We arrived at 5:15, which should help you know to whom I refer.) We sat in a booth, and our server, Usama, made our nearly 3-hr (!) visit truly joyful and perfect! Again, management - please take note. We agreed that he was the best waiter either of us have ever had - attentive, fun and funny, and going the extra mile in tailoring our drinks to our (sweet-tooth!) tastes, and making us feel welcome and special. This was likely my mom's final "fancy" outing, and I am so grateful to Usama for making it perfect. Kudos also to the chefs. Our 3 dishes were superb - beef tips, shrimp, hummus.“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

“Big thanks to Adam, Brenda Jean, Ely and Molly for making my 55th birthday celebration so fun. Everyone had a great time.“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“The staff is awesome! loved the beer and the Tuesday special pork tacos!“

“first time participating in drag queen bingo- Soo much fun! A room full of love, joy, laughter, and happiness! thank you queens for being a ray of sunshine in this world“

“We first went to imperial in 2024 on our first visit to Detroit. As soon As we landed, we drove straight here for a meal that we knew would satisfy. The service is always fast and friendly ( ask your server for recommendations for food, drinks, activities they won’t steer you wrong). We opted for the taco of the week ( vegan chorizo and creamy), imperial Sonoran and tostada, as well as the nachos. We were all stuffed and happy. Shout out to Pricilla“

“The meads are a constantly rotating selection so if you see something you think you might like...get it! It may not be there next time. The service is excellent and the whole experience is very casual. Trivia Nights are great (and loud). There is often a food truck outside during events. This is important as the only food served to ends to be bags of gourmet pretzels.“

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“This is a hidden gem in Ferndale, MI. The staff was great and the food was good with generous portions. The beer selection was amazing. I was a first time visitor on August 21, 2025. I signed up for the rewards program and received $10.95 off my bill. I will definitely visit this restaurant over and over again.“

“Came here for a quick dinner with some of my girlfriends after my wedding dress fitting, and it was the perfect spot. The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious, and the menu offered plenty of variety with lots of great options to choose from. We each tried different chef selections, and everyone loved both their food and drinks. I especially appreciated the thoughtful mocktail menu for anyone not drinking but still wanting something special. The service was friendly and very attentive, which made the experience even better. I would definitely go back!“

“Sharice is probably one of the best servers ive delt with. She was so friendly, great conversation. All around good experiences. Played pool and there were some other guys who were adding i. 3rd party commentary and it was great. Loved this place, Definitely would come back again!“

“we came in yesterday for a little family dinner. Danny, our server, was newly back to work at Pronto and I've never seen a server work so hard to accommodate people and ensure we were well cared for. the entire staff and clientele were so kind and encouraging. I spent most of the meal examining the lighting fixtures (there are so many!!!), and our family searched for disco balls (also SO MANY!). The food was amazing and the service was fast. we took our 14 year old there for dinner because they needed to see that there are safe, public spaces for them - and the awe and amazement in their eyes the whole time told me that we found our new "regular" spot. the music was fun, the service was spectacular, and the entire vibe was just lovely. and as a lighting nerd, they play with light beautifully, even during a routine dinner service. to the staff at Pronto - particularly Danny - thank you. as a mom trying to figure out how to best parent a child who isn't like me, you gave me immeasurable gifts last night. you gave my child hope for a future as an adult. we love the local youth programming available but it lacks a connection to adults who are thriving and living full, beautiful lives. seeing that in action was everything our kid needed and so much more. thank you.“

“We love O’Grizzly’s. When Hoops closed, we needed to find a new favorite spot. We found it! Cold drinks, great service and delicious food. It’s our go to spot.“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“I order fairly regularly the tacos and chips and dips. All have been quite flavorful and delicious. I've been less impressed by the bowls and burritos as in general all can be overpowered by sauces. Great rewards program gives discounts and points often. The interior is fun but this store is a bit dark on the interior making it hard to read menus. Service is friendly and standard for service these days. Easy online ordering and pickup. Overall great if your looking for more American-styled Mexican food with punchy flavors.“

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.“

“Great music, drinks and friendly place“

“Purr 🐱 THERE IS STILL NO PAPER TOWEL IN THE BATHROOM“

“Bob and Elmer's it's probably one of the safest bars in Potiac. I am a single female, 5 ft 2 and everybody made sure,I was safe and they even made sure that I made it home,again.
I have been coming to this bar for 40 years,nobody knows me,
It has always ben
AWESOME“

“place is great! now you are doing stand up nights? hell yes“

“We had a drink and the pretzel bites we awesome“

“Corner bar fan I am. RUMOR HAS IT they are putting serious serious effort in bringing back Karaoke as well as another pool table and league interest in Darts/Pool. We all know a smaller Corner bar that serves atmosphere and food and cold beer. I don't work there no, I has spent 35 years working in Bar/Club entertainment business and I see some pretty cool stuff, I've seen the personality of the place....it ain't dead and I bet they prove it!
Say Hi sometime if you see me there, I LOVE Karaoke.“

“Good decor. Good energy. Pool tables. Food pretty good.“

“When I was little I used to go in here with my papaw gene ball we live on cloverlawn rd he used to order me Shirley Temples and sit there and pretend I was a big girl having a drink 🍸 its been many many years since been here still looks the same to me the last I was there was back in 1986 they were good people and still are from what I hear I have yet to return there and I shall before I die just to see if they still serve that wonderful Shirley temple“

“This place has great food!! it's definitely a neighborhood bar so if you're from the neighborhood you'll be comfortable there!! Go see my girl Tiffany she's got you!! Owner is super nice let's the party get fun but not out of control...I'll be back“

“Just had the Mexican Smash Burger, it was excellent! The best burger I've had in a while.“

“awesome place great people“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“I was there tonight and it was turnt! Whoever the dj was i hope he there every Saturday it was a young cat he did his thing on the 1’s & 2’s. The drinks were fire too shout out to the ladies behind the bar!! Keep it up encore ill be back next week.“

“We enjoy to go out. Last night we visited this fine restaurant which friends told us about. We had a lovely experience there with superb cooking and an experienced stuff and a talented chef. We added this restaurant in our list and we will certainly return very soon. We highly recommend.“

“This is a dirty dive bar. Service is great, Karaoke is fun and drinks are simple, strong and cheap. I don't recommend the bathroom if you can avoid it, but tipping the bartender generously gets you some perks. Food sometimes happens here, and when it does, it's fantastic and catered in.“

“Stopped here on a little suburban bar crawl, it hit the spot for a cute lil dive. Definitely a regulars place but we were welcomed with a smile. Lisa is a real gem! Seems like they have bar snacks you can order. Great conversation and drinks. :) We will definitely be back!“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

“Been nice for years an I Ben on puritan since 2000's“

“This place is amazing! We were waiting for a comedy show to start, we weren't sure about it at first, but felt right at home when we walked in! Sarah was our waitress, who is also a 15 year experienced bartender on the side, was AMAZING to say the least! She was so friendly, helped make us crazy custom shots and was happy to do it!!

Umm they had FUNNEL CAKE FRIES! yeah, like French fries coated in FUNNEL cake batter!!

I've added this place to my absolute favorites for when I'm in town, make sure to ask for Sarah and TIP her MORE than 20% because she's more than worth it!!!“

“The Hideout shocked me, i drove by for many years and figured it was a hole/little bar. When I walked in the interior was very nice. So the business end of the review, i had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and it was so darn good I was shocked. I came back the following night it was so good hoping they could replicate it, im not here for the drinks but the cheeseburger! Once again the chef comes through with a home run. Ill be back tomorrow or the next day, its that good and its of tremendous value, im not sure how they do it. The place is a gem!“
