Review of Iron City Bham

My first experience here was during the DNC Pitch ...

My first experience here was during the DNC Pitch Party in the summer of 2014. I thought that it was a cool venue; something unique for the city. I'm not into the concert scene for real, but I figured for those that were, Iron City was what they were looking for.

This past week, my date and I decided to watch the Alabama vs. Michigan St. game here. Upon arriving, the place was packed with eager fans and NYE revelers. The hostess couldn't tell us when a table would be ready, but took our cell phone numbers to call us when one became available. We decided to get a couple of drinks from the bar and stand around until we were called for a table. However, seats became available so we sat down . I ordered the orange creamsicle and my date ordered the blueberry lemonade. We both agreed that the drinks were fabulous . My orange creamsicle tasted just like an old school orange creamsicle Popsicle. I couldn't taste the alcohol in it...which was great for me because I'm not much of a drinker.

Food wise, I ordered the club without tomatoes. My date ordered the hot wings. We split a plate of house made Bistro fries ( fresh cut fries topped with garlic and Parmesan). My date said the wings were some of the best he had ever eaten. He said they were smoked and seasoned to perfection. I was satisfied with my club sandwich, and the fries were very well prepared, crunchy and the toppings added a special yummy uniqueness.

The place was electrified with Tide fans. We were called within 12 minutes for our table. But we opted for staying at the bar. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Iron City and we will return in the future.
