Great location, friendly staff. Although some of us don't get out a lot and planned to hang there tonight to celebrate a special birthday. I believe the proper, polite thing to do is to not take someone drink order and then immediately call, last call. One should probably do that in reverse. Give people the chance to decide to go somewhere else if they cannot actually stay and enjoy the drink they just ordered.

I love this place. I was visiting from Seattle and wanted to see some of the city, so chose to go here with a friend that lives in Birmingham. The cityscape views here are among the best that the state has to offer; they were incredible. The staff was sweet and the drinks were great (especially the Black and Blue). I highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the city, to have a night out with friends, or to even go on a romantic date. Best time to visit this place would be at sunset/twilight (the night hours are beautiful too, of course).

One of those places where the staff rush you as though you’re supposed to fall in line with the effect that they’ve got too much to do than to have anything other than your most prompt requests. There’s a tattooed up heavy set-ish girl working there who will get liquored up with the clientele she likes- but I’m thinking she may have a mood disorder cuz she seems to randomely flip her vibe on people from what I’ve seen. Just slighting random people for what seems to be no reason. I lost my fave necklace and visited early in the evening to se if it had been found- I saw her standing behind the bar, not doing anything, and began asking her if she recalled when I was there when all the sudden she just she rolled here eyes and looked to the side. I really didn’t know what to think- so I asked if she was okay and told her it seemed like she was going to pass out or something- to which she didn’t reply. Then another guy steps in front of her and asks what I want… I was totally off balanced and said “well, are you available for me to ask a question?” He said yea- and then all the bartenders looked at me, and I said “is something weird happening? What’s going on?” Then he made rushing hands and said “yea what do you want what do you want??” I asked about my necklace and they told me the downstairs desk handles lost and found. Was gonna eat there but felt like I was extremely unwelcomed for the fact that I guess I didn’t just pretend that the waitress didn’t roll her eyes and look away from me mid-sentence?? It was really weird. I don’t know if she was hammered or what but didn’t seem like they were upset to see me go. Shame because that balcony is so fun but I don’t reckon I’d go back. I travel all the time and find that staff is always a product of top-down energy. That was two for two so I’m thinking it’s one of “those places” where the jerk owner hires jerk staff.

Staff was great, very nice and knowledgeable. View is phenomenal. Drinks were overpriced $9 for a draft beer that's not even a pint. Food was eh to mediocre. We had crab claws and avacado dip. Would come back for the view definitely. They have the bar indoors and two outside patios. Both patios have awesome views of downtown. Very cool little spot to bring friends if you just want to chat and have a couple drinks outside. Also cool little elevator with peek a boo windows in the ceiling, to take you up to the bar.
