Mayawell Bar — Restaurant in Birmingham

My husband and I were excited to have a night cap here. We walked into this bar at about 9:30. Read the sign that said to seat yourself so we did at the bar. The seating arrangements are cozy. Most of the staff was at the other end of the bar by the kitchen. We waited and in the meantime scanned the QR code to see the menu. GREAT selection of tequila based drinks. A very friendly young lady came and took our drink orders. She was great. I had Chef’s Kiss and my husband Cool your jets. While we sat and had our drinks we took in the ambiance which was mellow and nice. There was another woman behind the bar cleaning and wiping things constantly where we were sitting. No excuse me, no greeting and no interaction at all. My husband decided to inquire about a booth he saw in the back corner and that’s when things took a disappointing turn for us. He tried asking the woman that was behind the bar cleaning about the booth, first she said it was reserved for a group of 8 or more. Then she said it was first come first serve. When my husband tired to gain clarity she brushed him off and said I don’t know to everything he asked. The last thing he asked was for her to cash us out because her shortness made us feel unwanted in the establishment. That’s...

If you're looking for the perfect blend of exceptional drinks and an unforgettable atmosphere, this bar is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for a fantastic evening.

Now, let's talk about the drinks: simply outstanding. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or a fan of classic spirits, their menu has something for everyone. Each drink is crafted with precision and flair, and the quality of the ingredients is evident in every sip. I highly recommend their signature cocktail—it’s a delightful mix of flavors that’s both unique and refreshing.

This bar isn't just a place to grab a drink; it's an experience. Whether you're out for a casual night with friends or celebrating a special occasion, it’s the perfect spot. I can’t...

We went here after a drink and dinner at Lumbar for a friend’s birthday last Saturday. We had been here before about a year and a half ago and we were really excited to come back because last time was a good experience. Our first impression walking to the bar was one of our friends being barked at by the bartender saying “don’t order here” with no other instructions. There was a QR code on the bar top that just directed you to a PDF menu so eventually we figured out that they take your order at the table you sit at, but already that made us feel super uncomfortable and unwelcome. It’s very typical to order drinks at the bar when it’s just a bar. The food truck outside takes care of food service, so for anyone going now you know to just take a seat and a server will take your order. Other than that, we sat outside in the enclosed area which I want sure why they had the weathering plastic rolled down on a hot summer night. It allowed for no breeze and just made it super muggy. The drinks were tasty but we only...
