Birmingham's best kept secret! Probably should not write this b/c it may become too busy and I will have to wait! If you're looking for a place to get a great bite to eat and want to feel a little private in the process- not hiding, just not on stage... this is the place to go. Always good, always great service... always happy when I leave!
Great food, relaxilng atmosphere and impecable service- always. One of Birmingham's hidden treasures and a GREAT place to have a late night snack or a full blown dinner. Hotels that have a "great room" (Like the Drake and it's Cape Cod Room) we find are usually uniquely special places as is the Townsend. JC
You're sick of going to bars that water down drinks and the hicks and roadies and college kids breathing down your neck at the next table. Rugby Grill is the spot to go in Birmingham where you'll see athletes, musicians and actors, and the drinks are nice and strong. I don't even know what I'd say about the food--because by the time it gets to me I'm either lost in a martini or in people-watching.
