    Super nice bar , the menu is so pretty and the design is really creative. The drinks were awesome, prince was really reasonable, I wish they have some food something small like cheese table or something to eat with the amazing drink . The decorations of the place is so unique, they also have board games to play on the tables what I find really cool .

    Great selection of beers and wine! Staff is on point, super polite and quick about everything! Bowls of popcorn brought to the table for nibbling. Great time and memories made! Hope to return soon.

    Retro coolness at its finest. The vibe, the decor, the staff are all SWELL! Bubbles floated from the ceiling when we walked in... probably a coincidence but wow... how fun. Highly recommend the Chase Lewis cocktail and try to go when you have time to hang out and absorb the decor. There's a lot to look at and it's all utterly fabulous.

    OH GOSH!!! What a fantastic and an interesting place.. I’ve never to a bar like this. The setup was so much fun. Dark and cozy! They do give costumes to dress up if u would like. Prettiest drinks and lava lamps on tables wow ! It was amazing.. this bar you guys - check it out!!

    Great place to hang out and have a drink. It's so sad that they are closing. So you should definitely visit before they do!

    This place is a great throwback to bars in the 1960s. Mixed drinks named after locals, good craft bet selection, snacks while you sign, card games and board games, and of course the costumes. If you get lucky enough to get Caley as your waitress, you'll get extra special treatment. Highly recommend!

    This place is a blast. The drinks are incredible and the atmosphere is hilarious. You can try on a costume for the duration of your visit and play games at any of the very cosy table options. The staff is super accommodating and they brought by free popcorn. I’m from out of town and this was my second time through this spot. I think everybody should try it.

    This place is on another level! The atmosphere and service were firing on all cylinders. Our bartender, Sam, was a delight to hang out with. I highly recommend the Sex Panther bourbon drink(tattoo included). Don’t forget to grab the Connect 4 game!

    The inside of The Atomic Bar & Lounge is incredible! It seems like every piece of art and furniture has a story to tell. They have a great drink selection and will be serving food in the near future. The owners put a lot of effort into making patrons feel like they are back in the early 1960's. Definitely an amazing Birmingham nightspot!

    This place is AMAZING! Decked out in mid century decor. Very impressive liquor selection, the house cocktail comes with a temporary tattoo there's themed rooms, random bursts of bubbles AND they will let you borrow a hot dog costume if you forgot yours.

    Had the best experience here! The costumes are so fun but the drinks were amazing. Bartender created a craft cocktail for us that was the best I’ve ever had. Loved the vibe!

    Great drinks and amazing mid century inspired decor that makes you feel you're somewhere special. Choose a costume from the menu and drink a Sex Panther for the full experience.
