Merk`s Tavern & Kitchen in Birmingham

Deserted at 1:30 PM no employee to be found. Walked to the front of the Winfrey and the polite and rather enthusiastic bellhop walked us back to the bar to find an employee. Bartender was friendly but it was clear that the bar is usually empty at noon and we were an oddity. 6 draft beers on tap 2 from Alabama. $6.50 a pint.

went to the bar, after tip my total was $44.05. after checking my bank statement they rounded the bill up to $50. last time i'll ever go there. i hope it was worth it because i'm calling my bank to dispute the charge. Terry was the bartender.

New menu has been added with great food all around. The variety is the best and they have wonderful service.

This is a great hotel cafe! Very underrated and under used in my opinion. Maybe because it's a bit hidden or maybe people think it's only for hotel guests, but it isn't. Their shrimp & grits is the best I've ever had! The BLT crabcake with house made chips is awesome. Most of the menu is outstanding, just don't get the salad that comes with yogurt dressing, that was yuck! I've eaten here many times and they've catered many meeting I've had in the hotel, their food is good! Not cheap, but worth it.

When I read the reviews I was worried. But my experience is people love to complain because this food is amazing. A bartender named Terry waited on me and he was on point. Amazing drinks, kind, and on top of it. A lady who I didnt catch her name greeted me as soon as I came in. I give this place 5 stars!!!

Stayed at club Suite on top floor and ate this 5 star restaurant and had the NY strip,mash potatoes with grilled asparagus and it was mouth watering.Top notch Also had Sex on the beach and it was loaded with alcohol,perfect for a pitstop back from the beach condo.5 Stars!!!
