Social Kitchen and Bar

The energetic downtown Birmingham spot with its open bi-level setting allows guests a view of the action in the kitchen as well as in the airy dining space. But this place offers more than just the scene. It has a creative and varied menu typified by mussels with chorizo, shrimp and grits, crispy Brussels sprouts, and spaghetti and meatballs. They also serve made-to-order donuts.
