"Located in Pepper Place, The Lumbar offers a reprieve from adjacent attractions like the farmers’ market, some of Birmingham’s higher-end restaurants, and event venues. The Lumbar pays homage to the college experience and UAB without the chaotic atmosphere you’d find in a bar geared towards that age bracket. It’s actually chill enough to catch people in their early 20s looking over Powerpoint slides in a booth. Clever cocktails come served in flasks and beakers, and board and card games dot the tables. It’s also a solid spot for late-night eats: the Tetris tots are greasy and crispy in all the right places, and the garden burger is the polar opposite of artificial." - Sarra Sedghi
