Went to Shift Kitchen & Cocktails after a show and it was very enjoyable! The food and service were great and the atmosphere was lively with excellent music. I highly recommend Shift Kitchen & Cocktails and will be back soon!

Yum yum. The vibe was nice, food was amazi g. You must try the lobster taco. The staff were friendly and helpful. We did not have. Reservation and they hooked us up. Will be back for sure.

I almost don’t even want to write how good this place is in fear that it will be even busier! I have been twice. During happy hour food is 40% off and the color red is half off. My favorite dish is the filet tips followed closely by the scallops. There is a parking lot just across the street that if you park less than 2 hours it is free. Service has been great both times I went. Absolutely will go back!

I've came here twice (Birmingham location) in less than a week lol. Each time was great. On my first visit my waiter's name was Chris and he was outstanding. He explained every item on the menu, he checked up on me in a timely fashion, just overall great service from him. The Bartender Nate made the best cocktails (I had a Lemon Drop and a Strawberry Lemon Drop) He even came to the table to introduce himself and made sure the drink was to my liking. Food was good, I really liked the garlic aoli with the fries. Fried lobster tacos were delicious. Filet Sliders were good. I'm not a big fan of pretzel buns so I would have preferred a different type of bread but overall they were good My second visit I sat at the Bar. Mike was the Bartender and he made me a Cosmopolitan. I ordered Sweet & Spicy Shrimp, Scallops, Pei Mussels and Grilled Wings. Everything was tasty but the wings. If you're a fan of char-grilled taste, than you'll like the wings.

I came here for my birthday over the summer and the food and drinks were great! They also had nice happy hour deals. Definitely worth checking out!

What a great experience at this place! First off, they have close accessible parking that is free for the first 2 hours at a lot across from the restaurant. Second, the interior decor and ambiance was so nice. A very relaxing red dim lighting set up with nice modern table set ups. Live music was also a nice touch. Our waiter was amazing as he was friendly and so welcoming. The appetizers and wines were so delicious and the prices during happy hour was 10/10. Overall highly recommended!

If you haven’t been to Shift yet - what are you waiting for? Make a reservation because there’s almost always a line (for good reason). Their espresso martinis live up to the hype, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming every time. Don’t sleep on the food either - it’s just as impressive as the drinks. A true Birmingham gem!

I have heard a lot of good things about this place, and more so that it’s a great spot to come late night in the weekend but a reservation is needed. Decided to come check it out and grab some food and I would have to say I was a bit dissapointed in the place. They only serve salads and appetizers for food and they were mediocre at best. The truffle fries were really good, but everything else was nothing special. The calamari was not good at all and I would not recommend it, nor would I recommend the filet sliders. The service and atmosphere and drinks were good, but food was not worth the price. Note that they have 40% off apps every day from 5-7pm
