50 Best Cocktail Bars near Birmingham

“Everything was great. Great musician. Food was good. Drinks were great. Nice ambiance. We did not get served right away, waited 10-15 min to get served. A table that sat after us were attended to first. If not that, I would have left a 30% tip vs 20%.“

“My friends and I absolutely love dining at Madam Restaurant in the heart of Birmingham city. The vibe is always amazing, and a big part of that is Ocean, the restaurant manager. He consistently takes such great care of us and makes every visit feel special.
We recently tried some of the new menu items, and they were definitely worth it—fresh, flavorful, and something a little different from the usual. The happy hour is exceptional, and ordering a variety of appetizers to share is always our go-to.
An all-around fantastic experience every time. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We just held a baby shower in the enclosed outdoor Patio at the Troy location, January 18th. Was worried it would be cold since it was in the low 20s outside and windy, but it was wonderful. Staff was wonderful to work with from all the pre-planning with Jenna through the entire staff at the Troy Location. Servers were very attentive to all the guests. Manager worked with us on how and when we wanted the appetizers served, followed by lunch and then dessert. It was a great location for the shower. It was like having it in our own backyard but with service and none of the cleanup! The fireplace with the chairs by it was a great place to display prizes for the guests and a great place for the new mom and dad to open the gifts with everyone being able to see. It was easy to walk around and talk to everyone. We will definitely recommend to our friends for future events.“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“Drinks are fantastic here! Have not tried the food and heard it is a very small menu on selected day but if you are looking for well crafted cocktails, you've found the right place! I have only been here twice but so far the Basil Smash (not pictured) and the Coffee Espresso Martini are both absolutely delicious.“

“really don’t even want to write this review bc I want to keep Pequeño Cantina to myself, BUT this is my SPOT!! Tiff M is AMAZING and she is a wizard with the drinks AND service!!! I look forward to the food, drinks and atmosphere. 100/10“

“White Wolf Japanese Patisserie is an absolute gem. Their pastries boast unique flavors that are a delightful departure from the ordinary. The Yuzu Cheesecake and Azuki Red Bean Paste Swiss Roll Cake are must-tries, bursting with authentic and refreshing tastes. The Matcha Latte and Raspberry Rose Yuzu are equally exceptional and perfect for a refreshing treat. The staff at White Wolf are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The female chef went above and beyond by offering us a sample of their delicious banana bread, which was a nice touch. It’s evident that everyone who works there is genuinely happy, and this joy is reflected in the quality of their products. If you’re looking for a place that combines unique Japanese flavors with top-notch service, White Wolf Japanese Patisserie is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious food, reasonably priced, beautiful decor, friendly staff.“

“Came in for a margarita after going on a first date that could’ve been better, and everything was fabulous. Best chicken tinga tacos I’ve ever had. I came here specifically because I wanted a real margarita made with lime and agave rather than sour mix. Best margarita I’ve had in Metro Detroit, and I’ve been around! Lol. 100/10 recommend. Also, my server Karina was so kind and attentive.“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“My impression of Sips On Six makes me think of a hall that was turned into a nightclub. The first time I went I think it was on a Friday or Saturday. I guess they were having Hustle lessons, because the DJ was playing hustle music and giving instructions. The food and the drinks were good, the drinks are a little expensive. My friend and I ordered some Don Julio Tequila and just one shot a piece came out to be $14. I would go there again, because the atmosphere was really nice and the crowd was very mature and well mannered.“

“Nice experience, amazing food, and atmosphere. Server was great too.“
