Holy cow, literally. Best burger I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting and Kayla did a great job helping us pick out delicious menu items!

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

This sports bar reminds me of a French brasserie with sports tv! Great ambience and excellent food snd service. Andy, the general manager was absolutely outstanding! Highly recommend the Refinery and its staff - and if course - the Smash Burger was the best ever!! Thanks Andy!

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

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.

Kayla was AMAZING!! Thanks for everything! I had miso chicken sandy and truffle fries, yummmm. But the star of the show was the pink Starburst special request drink that Kayla made. She improvised and made a delicious version, prob the best I've had to date. I will MOST DEFINITELY be back:) ***Go ask for a KPD**** *Kayla's Pink Drink*

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!!!!
