50 Best Sports Bars near Birmingham

“Was my first time in Churchill’s yesterday, 03/28. Had no idea what to expect, never understood the purpose of the cigar. With that being said, I cannot wait to go back. Our waiter was great, the old fashioned was amazing and that cigar…now I get it!! So relaxing, great atmosphere and with a great tour guide who was also celebrating his birthday. That’s where he wanted to go, I’m sure glad he did!!! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and helpful staff! Anysha was amazing took good care of us and made sure everything was done perfectly ! I Recommend to anyone who likes good food and good entertainment!“

“Kozy Lounge has a relaxed atmosphere, and serves the best burger in town! And Jacob is a delight behind the bar!“

“Love this spot! Very spacious location with a very large parking lot even when they are busy the service is prompt food is good! wide selection of activities large bar seating area 10/10 would recommend for any party or just a cool place to hang out!“

“So enjoyed this experience! Great time had by all. Will do this again.“

“The old locker room is where I met my husband of 35 years now, but the new locker has a great vibe as well. Food is Awesome, staff are friendly and helpful and the music brings a vibe that makes you happy and want to party. Let’s just say I love the Locker room. Ask for Lacey she’s the best waitress.“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“I had a pleasant experience with this place. All of the food seemed fresh, the service is attentive and the atmosphere is very vibrant.

The 2 times in which I went, our group sat outside, being that it was summer. They had trivia, which I assume is every Wednesday.

As for food, I got the caprese sandwich on the first occasion and the then the Tomato basil soup on the second. Both were good but the caprese sandwich was very good. While the menu is not huge, it does offer the basics and has a few healthier options, such as vegan dishes.

Overall, the atmosphere and food qualiy make this place worth checking out.“

“I only had a sandwich and some mozzarella sticks but those were good and other people seemed happy with their meals - but mostly here to say the atmosphere / service at this place is unmatched. Amy & Heather who I got the opportunity to have as bartenders and servers both times I came (and they’re sisters! How fun) both went beyond the call of normal service. This place was the closest nearby spot to an emergency vet I took my dog to after an attack. I was obviously a bit solemn when I came in the first time for lunch and immediately they asked me if I was okay and both came around the bar to hug me when tears started welling and listened to my story and showed so much care and compassion for my poor doggy. When I came back a week later they recognized me IMMEDIATELY and asked how my boy was doing and were overjoyed when I said he’s healing well and getting stitched up today. I also wanted to come back to get their names just so I could be sure to mention them by name in a review because they certainly deserve it. Outside of that, clearly they (and the rest of the staff here) have compassion and familiarity with mostly everyone who walked in the door. They impressively remembered names, usual orders, and asked specific questions about peoples’ lives (and I was sitting at the bar for a long time while I waited for my dog both times and got to witness LOTS of interactions) - all were overwhelmingly positive. I love love LOVE this place. I live in Detroit and rarely come to the suburbs unless I need to - but I might have to start making Mr. Joe’s a regular stop ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“This place is a bit of an enigma because I don't understand how some of the best food is coming out of the kitchen of a quintessential dive bar. I usually get the burger (Mighty Gibson) and it's the burger I crave when I need one. Everything else I've ever had was great too. However, I had the seafood chowder tonight and it rivals anything you will find in the finest seafood restaurants on any coast you pick. In fact, the soup is what prompted this review after numerous visits. Sarah makes a great drink too but who goes to a dive bar for the culinary experience- guess I do?!?!“

“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!“

“Randomly stopped in on a Saturday while on town. Food was delicious. The chicken dip was different but good. Service was slow but the waitress did receive a huge party about 30 minutes after we arrived. I enjoyed the sliders. It was only loud inside because of the party but other than that it was enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the French onion soup.“

“My experience was fantastic!! Being the first time here. We went for a late lunch early dinner... The bartender was our waitress. I've been to other places where we have been served by the bartender that only cared about the regulars. She was awesome and very attentive. My dirty martini was on point! The burgers are huge and delicious. Brussel sprout app was delicious! Great onion rings. We will definitely be back!“

“Food is great and so are the drinks“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Typical sports bar with a typical sports bar menu. Food well prepare. I have tried a number of dishes and was satisfied with all. Lots of tv's with your own tv complete with remote in the booths. Can get busy on game days when local sports teams are playing.“

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“The catfish is seasoned to perfection! Fried hard as requested and definitely did not disappoint“

“The all around vibe is inviting. bar tenders know how to make drinks!!!!! service and food is phenomenal. I highly recommend ya'll trying the Philly steak pizza 🍕😋“

“We held a small bridal shower today at the Troy location. We, as organizers live several hours from Troy so had to make arrangements over the phone and sigh unseen. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and welcoming appearance. Rick was wonderful in assisting in every way possible, table set up, reducing the music in the back room, refreshing beverages and more. The food was excellent. And the prices very reasonable. We will definitely hold future events here as they occur.“

“Great food , large portions, been there 1/2 dozen times , top notch!!“

“The most classic sports bar a sports bar can get. Some of the best pizza in town, some of the best wings in town, in the atmosphere is a classic sports bar. They even got the Jumbotron as a queer guy who likes sports And good food, This place is awesome.“

“Great food, great drinks and a wonderful staff starting from the manager Wes greeting us at the door! Had a fun birthday celebration and will definitely be back!“

“CK’s has been our favorite neighborhood place since they opened in 1998. Always good food and service in a fun atmosphere. Enjoying the patio is extra nice as is meeting friends for a game. They have a great tap list and happy hour and daily specials. The recent remodel looks great!“

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

My lamb chop dinner was yummy! Also, Cali is great..that’s my daughter name too! 🥰 She ran the show today! So sweet…and it’s her bday! If I ever come back, I will request you! Thanks Yall!“

“Wandered in here on a random Friday night. Tapped beer was crisp, fresh and cold. Managed to get a really great burger with fries before the grill closed, and had more fries and cheese sticks before close. For bar food it was really good. 4 stars

The bartender Lex was funny and attentive to her customers without being obnoxious - her service and timing were fantastic. Seemed to have a good rapport with other patrons/regulars. 5 stars

The bar itself is a good size and there's a few tables but there isn't much room otherwise. They did have karaoke after 9 which was fun, but there's not really room to dance to music. The parking lot itself is small and the area is dark but there seemed to be parking out front in the street that was well lit. 3 stars.

If you're looking to talk to people, grab a seat, have some drinks and grab a bite this is good. If you're looking to dance or need a lot of space this might not be it. Recommended to be aware of your surroundings heading to the parking lot after dark.“

“Just had the best bar burger I’ve had in age’s….. seriously perfect medium burger, full of flavor, not greasy. Will definitely be our choice for a burger in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“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.“

“Wow! One of best burgers I’ve ever had. My coworker thought the fish was also excellent. This is a Cheers type bar with great food and service. Will be back!!!“

“Every time I've been in the Metro, I've gotten great service and the food was outstanding!! Even in carryout form, the food is excellent!! The next time I put together a big party, I'm thinking I'll be taking it to the Metro!! I only wish that they would make their cream of asparagus soup more often. I can make a meal of just that soup!! It is excellent!! They just don't offer it enough!!“

“staff is wonderful, food is great! Love the atmosphere.“

“Wow!! Pulled in the parking lot and we were the only car!! Walked in went upstairs and ordered. The food was phenomenal!! How is this place not packed!! Highly recommend!! This coming from a fat guy, so I guess it makes this fat guy approved“

“We didn't eat here, we stopped in for a cheer. This charming, and cozy bar had superb staff members who were extremely friendly, personable, professional, and provided speedy service. We saw some bands play in their parking lot during Royal Oak Tacofest. There's a small outdoor patio, and several tables inside The Rock on 3rd. Their beer menu is decent, and their martinis are delicious. Must visit!!“

“Awesome place! Atmosphere is fantastic, the wait staff is great, and really happy to have found this place.“
