the J. Clyde

Despite it raining a little outside patio where we were it was a wonderful time by all at our table. Love the Green Grill that I ordered. We will definitely come back when we were return to Birmingham.

This place is 👌👌👌! The fish n chips, chicken tenders and the J Clyde burger are all outstanding. The real star of the show is the selection of beers, wines and meades they have. They have more taps than anywhere else I've been to in Birmingham and the atmosphere is small and homey with excellent service.

Very cool place for a gathering with friends or to hang solo. The food is excellent. A little pricey but good. A nice urban downtown spot near UAB with indoor and outdoor sitting.

Great selection of cold beer, friendly service and free samples! Wings and beer cheese we're super tasty. Will be back next trip to Birmingham!

Great food with plenty of craft beers to choose from. A must visit stop when in Birmingham.

Great beer selection. Delicious food. Service a little slow/sparse but they comped my appetizer when it came out very late, so they get the 5 stars from me. The hot rock is very fun to cook with at the table. I had the black bean burger and it was great quality.

It was my birthday and my favorite Irish pub had closed down. I searched all over Birmingham for that small tavern feel with good stout beer choices. I found J. Clyde. The list of beer, wine, mead, cider, and cocktails is extensive, so whatever you're craving to drink you'll find something to suit you and you may find new favorites like I did. The food is excellent as well! For an appetizer my wife and I had the sauerkraut balls, which were absolutely delicious so don't let the name fool you, order these little balls of goodness and enjoy. For my entree I had the J. Clyde burger and replaced the goat cheese with beer cheese spread and of course added bacon because well everything is better with bacon. Burgers here can be cooked to order so mine was a delightful medium. The beer cheese spread is like a house made pimento cheese, and for those that like that sort of thing this is as good as it gets. We shared a chocolate bread pudding for dessert which as I recall was very rich and delicious, although by this time I had enough stout in me to float the USS Ronald Reagan so my memory is a bit hazy on that point. The service was excellent. Our server, though his name escapes me, was one of the most engaging and knowledgeable I have ever had. 100% will be back for my next birthday if not sooner. Thank you very much!

The restaurant is on a cute little brick road alley street. Sat at the back side of the bar in a cool little room by the courtyard. The building is charming with lots of character, great atmosphere. It did take a minute to have the bartenders approach us (we just grabbed our own menus), but they were speedy after that. Bartender gave excellent beer recommendations and brought our beers at stellar speeds, always pouring it immediately when we asked for another. Appetizer (fried sauerkraut balls) arrived within 5 minutes of ordering it, and was amazing. For dinner, I ordered the burger with goat cheese, and it was excellent, as were the sweet potato fries. It wasn't abnormally slow as other reviewer's mentioned. Service was excellent, food was excellent, and the atmosphere is unique and cool. The slow service in other reviews must not extend to the bar, or maybe we just got lucky.
