Mayawell is a new cocktail bar that specializes in high-end tequilas and agave spirits. It’s brand-new to Birmingham and based on the success of other local cocktail bars, it’s sure to be a huge success. According to this article by the BBJ, while the lounge will focus on tequilas and mezcals, they’ll offer a full bar as well.

We’ve already shared all about this, but I’m so excited that it felt wrong to leave off. Half Shell Oyster House is a personal favorite of mine—and it’s sure to be one of yours in no time! Hint: I recommend the Royal Reds.
