With the right crowd this would be a great night club, but when I came here it felt more like a bar with strobe lights. The waitstaff was nice. The drinks were decent. However, there was nothing special about this place and memorable. It is in a great location, but it falls short in being a club for this community.

So I just had a bar tender named Mark. He was delightful until I asked him for a glass of the house cab or Pinot noir. He told me they had a delicious Pinot and after pouring my drink told me he would keep my tab open (like he was doing my favor) with the receipt crinkled up in his hand. I said no I would prefer him to run it and discovered the charges once I asked him for the receipt for a $ 14 glass of wine. I told him I asked for house and he said sorry that was the cheapest Pinot noir they had. I used to wait tables and I don’t appreciate the lack of transparency and how he tried to hide the charges by not giving me my receipt until asked for it directly. I had a delicious drink made before by the other bartender on staff and at that rate could have had two instead. Not appreciated. Don’t recommend.

Truly a hit-​or-​a-​miss after-​hours venue. As the only true nightclub in Downtown Birmingham, The Corner Bar is typically packed by midnight most Fridays and Saturdays. An excellent drink selection paired with attentive bartenders, this eclectic hangout is not for the causal people-​watcher. Great pick-​up spot.

The Corner Bar is located in the Townsend and you can park right across at the structure, which is very convenient. My friends and I went just to get drinks and dance a little; they have a teeny dance floor which served our purposed quite well. The music was fun and accessible (with the music video playing on a screen above, which I tend to find a bit distracting), the crowd was just fine, there was no drama and we had a great time. It did get crowded when we left after midnight, but it was not a problem. I read the comments about bridge-​and-​tunnel, and I find that comment was mean-​spirited in addition to being untrue (and I’m a former Manhattan-​er). I would come again!

I will never go back! I left an $ 8 tip, yet my bank statement shows they changed their tip to $ 30! Ridiculous and way overpriced.

Came here last night for dancing purposes only. I did not enjoy the scene here nor the DJ. The drinks were overpriced and the crowd was less than desirable. The DJ played, played out music with a faster tempo. Nothing creative. The waitress was rude. The people were boring. I much rather go to Royal Oak or Ferndale for my dancing nights. The people are much more fun and I love the DJ on Saturday nights at Goodnight Gracies.
I like being around a crowd who is actually having fun, not pretending to have fun. You see Birmingham clubs try to play this game of «oh we only cater to the rich and famous crowd. we dont have time for you pee-​ons, but i guess we will let you in», even though ALL of there clientele are just people from surrounding areas. The people who go to these clubs obviously fall for this bit which again, is usually a boring crowd who does not «get it». bleh.
As we use to call these people in San Francisco…“the bridge and tunnelers”. lol.
Glad i tried it but I wont be back.

Warren, MI
Small bar with not much seating. But I can’t really complain. My cousin works here and I get the hook up. Always a reserved table and heavy poured drinks for a great price.
The bar is definitely Birmingham style, everyone is dressed to impressed, has a lot of cash to throw out, and definitely a little pretentious. I like coming to B-​Ham because I enjoy a good looking crowd that likes to get thoroughly hammered.
This is a great bar doesn’t get really busy until about midnight. And the dance floor is small, but usually jammed packed. So if you want to meet people and hangout this is a good place to swing by to.

Yeah, I think trashy covers it. My friend and I laughed when the doorman told us the cover and turned around to leave. Someone behind us offered to pay our cover, and we accepted. This place does not belong in Birmingham. The drinks are ridiculously expensive, but strong. There isn’t much that the management can do to improve this place. It’s not so much the club itself– more like the clientele.

If you get tired of east side trashy, come here for a taste of west side trashy.

Came here on the weekend of Thanksgiving and we were not happy to see a line outside. Luckily the line moved fast (it better be because it was freezing there!!) but I couldn’t believe how small the interior is despite the big name hanging at the front of the building corner. So I guess it is called the Corner for a reason because there isn’t much there except the corner.
Good drink but pricey. Great music but small-​ass dance floor. Beautiful crowd but ugly coat-​check area (well there isn’t really a coat check, just a place to hang your coat). There you have it.
