Best bar in Tuscaloosa. Amazing and friendly service, staff. Great shots! The vintage pinball machines offer a dose of nostalgic, analog fun!

The bartender (Carson – i think) was very friendly and helpful. I was cold and she offered a Coffee drink that warmed me up. I didn’t know anyone there but those around me were friendly and struck up conversation. There was a nice, inviting vibe to the place. I didn’t feel awkward or out-of-place which was great because I was temporarily lost. In addition – I liked the music.

Alcove is one of those hidden bars that feels like a well-kept secret among locals—and once you find it, you’ll want to return. Located at 730 22nd Ave, it’s tucked off the more frequented corridors but offers a refreshing alternative to the typical college-bar scene. 
One of its strongest draws is that it’s smoke-free inside, so you can enjoy your drink without the haze and lingering smell.  The interior is cozy but not cramped—after a modest expansion, it now feels more open yet intimate.  The bartenders are quite adept at recommending new beers or letting you sample before committing.  Beer selection is solid: expect a rotating tap list (around a dozen or so) plus a broad array of bottles.

Big pinball fan. Unfortunately this place no longer has free play on Wednesday’s!! Even though advertising still on web site. Traveling out of town for work was looking forward to night filled pinball. But, show up to no free play with off balanced machines. Get it together people.
