Sticks-N-Stones Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Hoover

This review is during the early launch period.

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting twice. Once during happy hour and once around 8:30-9:00. Both times I’ve had great service and cocktails. I ordered food once and it was great.

I have 2 main beefs that make this review a 4 instead of a 5 star review. The music has been either too quiet or too loud. Easy fix I’m sure they’ll work out during the early launch period. It is ridiculously bright inside of this bar. The large windows on the facade bring in a ton of light during daytime hours and don’t get me started on how bright the overheads are.

Some blinds or shades would be nice to dampen the light during the day and some dang dimmer switches are beyond necessary.

A cool bar with great vibes in Hoover that's literally minutes from my house--count me in! My husband and I wanted to have a date night so we decided to come to this new spot.
