birmingham's vodka and ale house

came here for dinner tonight with a friend. we got there around 5:15 and we were one of the last people to get a table without having to wait. we both ordered the old faithful burger with poutine. the portion size was good, and the poutine was excellent. the only thing i didn't enjoy was our server, she wasn't overly friendly and seemed busy talking with her co-workers. other than that, we enjoyed our visit!

update;

came here yesterday for my third time with a group of friends for lunch. we got here around 1 and it wasn't very busy at all- so the service was great. our waitress was busy with another group so the bartender decided to grab our food for us once it was ready. when she brought the food out the plates were hot but the food was not. upon bringing the food to the table she ended up tipping the plate over as she handed it to one of my friends and his complete order of chicken fingers (along with a cup of honey garlic sauce) spilt all over his shirt, pants, and his seat. she got him a cup of club soda and a towel to clean up then walked away- she never offered an "i'm sorry." all she said was: "looks like i must be clumsy on sunday's." she never offered to replace the food that fell off the plate or even compensate him in anyway for literally dumping the food on him. our waitress acted like nothing happened and it was honestly upsetting. our group now has mixed feelings about this establishment because of the way the issue was handled. personally i think a discount on the food or possibly a free drink would have turned this experience around. each time my friends and i come here we spend over 40.00 each on food and drinks. it sucks that the waitress and bartender didn't care enough about the customer to fix the situation. i'll think twice before comingbackto this place again.

been going to birmingham’s since it opened and have always enjoyed it but tonight my sister got a bacon croissant sandwich and the bacon was horrible so she took it off, i tasted it and it tasted rancid so told our server when she camebackaround. i asked her to have the chef try it and see if it was edible. the sever said she would and bring it to the attention of the manager. when she camebackthey had given a 20% discount on the meal, i paid the sever with generous tip and asked to speak to the manager and when he came over with an arrogant attitude said that most of the meal was eaten (other than the signature bacon weave) and thought 20% on the meal was reasonable (this was not on the table but one meal). i have always liked this place but will not bebackbecause they, obviously have poor taste in managers.

not sure where my past reviews of this place went?..weird;  but what-a-ya do.  ate here jan 22 for lunch, i have not been a lover of this place in the evenings as it gets stupid loud and you have to shout across the table to make conversation.  however... i am really liking lunchtime. it's not stupid loud, service was decently good.  had the turkey croissant with butter chicken poutine and was just fantastic! gonna order this again next time.
and now that i think of it, i up-loaded 10 pictures for this place, menu and food.....what the hell.    damn you zomato!   i miss urbanspoon  :(
anywho,  gonna gobackfor lunch for sure.

love this place! their v chips are the best! lots of drink options and our waitress was helpful for menu suggestions. will bebackfor dates and other events. good bar scene but not obnoxious.

meh, not bad. we came here for lunch on a saturday afternoon. fairly busy but we got a table and our orders went in right away. although we just got appetizers, it still took almost half an hour for our food to come. my taco cupcakes were delicious despite some of the cheese being hard. i would gobackfor their v-fries! pretty pricey considering portion size.

first time i visited and it was quite lack lustre. did not help that waitress could not give any good drink recommendations let alone know where a drink menu was. the food was pretty standard. nothing truly exciting to gobackfor.

my new favourite restaurant in regina. this is my new favourite restaurant in regina. dis-regard that other bad review. it sounds like just an unfortunate experience that is not the norm.

this place is fantastic! the burgers are very thick, juicy and flavourful without being greasy. the menu is full of great food and appetizer options which make me want to comebackanother dozen times just to try all the things that sounded so great. this is far beyond typical "bar-food" that you might expect from a place called a "vodka & ale hose".

i also found the service to be quite fast. the place is huge and every table was full, and it seemed to me like every waitress was running off their feet to keep up with how busy they were. yet they were still very attentive to us and came by regularly to see if we needed anything else. i had an appetizer which i was fully satisfied with. although, it happened to come out after my meal did (which was very fast as far as i was concerned). once they realized what had happened, they immediately apologised and said they would pay for my appetizer, despite the fact that i was not complaining at all and was actually very happy with it, and prepared to pay for it even as it was.

the only negative i have to say is about the beer. while it has a decent (though not huge) selection, it was pretty hard to find all the options. especially for a place with "ale house" in it's name. i could not find a single beer on the menu. it was only listed on a small insert that sits on the table, and you have to flip through a few pages of cocktails & desserts before you see them. the vodka & cocktails selection is absolutely massive though. if that is your thing, then you will surely not be disappointed.
