This is a really cool place to visit! There were also a couple of awkward encounters when we were the only ones there on a Wednesday evening. We were scolded for coming up to the bar to order instead of pulling the string by our table, even though we were the ONLY people in the bar. They said it set a “precedent” lol. Also my husband asked if they had any beer and he was kind of yelled at, “no we don’t have any beer or any food!” lol okay! We also asked for our bill with our last round (10:15, when they close at 11:00) and said “we don’t want to keep you, you would probably be closed if we weren’t here” and they said “yeah we usually close early on Wednesdays” again, lol so sorry. It’s still a really cool place though!
The Marble Ring is a lovely spot. What really makes it incredible is the service provided by Alex. There is no more welcoming and attentive bartender in Birmingham, or anywhere. If you are looking for a memorable experience and the best drinks in town, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
The bartender with the locs caught an attitude with me because I asked him for a drink that I initially asked the other bartender for but never received. I waited for 30-45 mins for my drink. The other bartender completely forgot about my order. I pulled the light switch again and no one ever came over. I had to get up and go to the bar to order a drink. This was my second time here and it sucked. Update: I honestly don’t recall the drinks being this expensive. Got to be the highest drinks in Birmingham. Ice $6/each, ginger ale $2 in mixed drink, $23 for single shot of casamigos, $44 double shot of don julio
We love the Marble Ring! I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking for a night out, grabbing drinks before a concert at Avondale Brewing, or those visiting Birmingham for a few days. Alex is our favorite bartender. In fact, he is one of the reasons you should stop by!
Ahh, ha! The owners of this perfect establishment have visited PDT (Please Don't Tell) in the East Village!! The hot dog, the phone booth.....love this! A must-see if you are visiting Birmingham as I was!
Tonight was my our first visit and my Aunt and I certainly enjoyed. Perfect location for date night or outing with friends. Our drinks were amazing.
Great atmosphere, great original drinks always just a great time!
Very disappointed. I reserved a space for 14 people for my birthday last year a month before the event, and the reservation magically disappeared. The doorman was very rude and a bit condescending. My brother-in-law left a review because he was disappointed as it was all of our first time there. The owner left an e-mail address and asked for my brother-in-law to contact him, but he never followed up with the e-mail. I had hoped to celebrate my graduation their this year if things were resolved, but I guess it was a bust. UPDATE: They replied and asked me to follow up through their site, which I did, and they failed to respond to me as well. They obviously do not care about their customers.
