    Awesome choice of beer and great music. The bartender is so knowledgable about all the bears they serve. You can taste them all before order. Do NOT miss thus place if you are in Tuscaloosa

    Best bar in Tuscaloosa. It's a cozy, non-smoking inside bar with a fun lighted back porch for smokers. They have a large selection of beers from all over the world. Best of all, not a college scene!

    This bar is a hidden treasure in Tuscaloosa. Great music. Great beer selection. Great ambiance. The back porch is an awesome place to relax and casually have a few drinks.

    I have lived in Portland, OR for 14ish years now. It's nice to come back to Tuscaloosa to find this bar. It's quiet, diverse, no child drinkers, and the beer selection was very good!

    Enjoy frequent live jazz shows and sample more than 100 beer offerings, including 30 “high gravity” craft selections, all of which come served in Mason jars. Read more

    Small, but is still an awesome bar with a wonderful atmosphere and some of the best drinks in Tuscaloosa.

    Trust your bartender. Ask questions, try something new and awesome (it may regionally local too)

    There's a hidden unisex bathroom if there's a line at the obvious ones. Go all the way to the back of the secondary room.

    Best bar in town (and a good place to get away from the undergrad scene).

    This place is awful. Stay away, especially if you are an undergrad. Stay away... because I don't like crowds and I want to sit at my favorite Tuscaloosa bar in peace and relative quiet.

    Beers are great, but the service is hit or miss.
