If you’re craving a pop of color and local flavor after a long day, may we suggest heading down to The Lab Bar and Kitchen at the newly opened Hilton on 20th Street South and University.
Since December, the Southern-inspired bar and kitchen has been serving up some exciting libations and locally sourced food to enjoy inside or fireside on the patio. [View the dining menu here.]
We popped by recently to check it all out. From unique mixed drinks to a great selection of Alabama-based craft and micro-beers, The Lab offers unique options for every palate.
The space gives a nod to the surrounding UAB medical community with a science themed vibe throughout. It’s perfect for socializing and good conversation—we’ll definitely be back!
Here are five Insta worthy cocktails to check out at The Lab Bar and Kitchen:
The Blazer
If you’re in the mood for dinner AND a show, order this bright blue beaker of excitement. The Blazer is the signature drink of The Lab Bar and Kitchen and is made with Casa Amigas Silver tequila, Chartreuse, Curaçao and Midori liqueurs — all jet chilled for your entertainment! If theatrical presentation is your thing, you can’t go wrong with this smoking beverage.
The Sour on 20th
Made of Boodles Gin, lemon and a simple malbec floater, this old school libation is perfect for sipping fireside on the patio.
An Evening in BHAM
Order this for quick caffeine pick-me-up. Made with Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum, cold brew Domaine Canton coffee and vanilla, this cocktail will put a little pep in your step for the night!
