10/10 From start to finish, this place is an absolute must go to! The food was truly top tier. I had the spinach dip it was so good, I ordered another one to go! I also had the croissant sandwich and it was loaded with meat . My date had the pasta it was chef kiss . The dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The staff was just as impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. And the drinks? You have to get the Smoke & Violet ↔️ Perfectly balanced, expertly crafted, and a great complement to the meal. We also had the Passion fruit lemon drop and strawberry . This is the kind of restaurant that leaves you already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!!!!

The Refinery is a local Birmingham gem! The meals are priced so fairly and they are incredibly full of flavor. The drinks are high quality, unique, and delicious. Everyone was friendly and service was top tier.

Food was good. What turned we off was the moment we walked in, empty restaurant but they made us feel like we were bothering them. Totally didn’t feel welcome.

Well, very nice atmosphere. Other than that, the menu is very limited your standard/average restaurant prices. I was a little put off because I got there around 5 o’clock and I said oh do you have any specials/happy hour and the response goes well it’s a dollar off domestic beer. That was it end of conversation so I opted for a glass of wine. It was eight dollars, which is a good price but it was a six dollar glass as far as the portion size was concerned. It turned me off from wanting to order dinner at that point so I paid my eight bucks and I got out of them. I went down the road to the next block on the corner and this wonderful restaurant had happy hour nine things for happy hour or under $10 and every drink beer, wine or liquor had a special not this place.

Kris & Andy were awesome & kind to my husband and I. They were amazing bartenders & servers! The vibes were positive, fun, and the music was cheerful, energetic, & uplifting. A place for all kinds of people. We didnt match most of the people there, yet, we had the best time! Defined, Refined, Elegant, & yet down to earth at the same time. Everyone was cool and having a good time. Lots of laughing. The service is the best!! Such a fun place! It’s like your back beach bar, yet you’re not at the beach. You would swear you were in a different place. Even reminds me of a couple of New York bars. You forget where you are in downtown Birmingham. It’s wild. The food & drinks though— they are the shining star. You HAVE to have the ISLAND NECTAR SHOT. And the OHANA & HONEYCOMB, that has a little bee and honeycomb you can eat. They are the best drinks!!!! And you HAVE to have the SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP. The best one I’ve ever had. And I wasn’t too drunk when I ate it to not know the difference. Lol We also liked the TRUFFLE FRIES too. The only thing that could make this place better would be another bathroom somehow, & the actual beach to be in the background. Lol

This is our 4th time visiting here and every time has been excellent. The steak was amazing and the service is top notch. Andy and Sarah were serving tonight and you couldn’t ask for better service. We will continue to come back.

Small place that is nicely decorated with a fantastic atmosphere, very clean and good food, would recommend for a day spot or a place to watch some of the games on tv

First timer: I had the steak, mac and cheese, and broccolini for dinner, and it was amazing! Kayla made a great French 75 and was so sweet! I love the atmosphere of this place so much and will 100% return!
