5 years agoThis was one of my father's favorite bars in Bessemer. He is now deceased but I will never forget the last day that I seen him alive. He was at Alabama Al's drinking as usual and I went by then he came out to see all the grandkids it was getting close to Christmas time and he was asking them all what they wanted for Christmas. He was also grabbing at his chest and trying to turn away from me so I didn't see but I did and I asked him daddy what's wrong he said nothing just got the heart burn.I could tell it was more &begged him 2go 2Dr.but he hated going 2the Hospital or Dr.He was hard headed-Yep that's where I get it from.. my dad really enjoyed going in to this bar and talkin I'm cutting out with his friends our so-called friends that went in there this was one of the mini bars in Bessemer that he enjoyed hanging out at. Since then they have redone the place and made it a lot better they serve alcohol beverages as well as beer,they have karaoke,pool tournaments,It's a nice place 2watch Football Games.Theres usually the same group of people there,the don't serve food IS the down side.Most the bartenders there are very friendly&keep the place under control.If you're in Bessemer stop by&see 4yourself.

6 years agoWas a nice experience the staff was extremely nice. Everyone was nice and got along.. And the one man band who was playing Ross Butler is a longtime family friend. Plus my father Pelham Smitherman use to own the place. And surprisingly enough it was only my 2nd time as an adult being there and I just turned 50 :) Plus we won a door prize after midnight celebrating the ringing in the New Year 🍾
