One of the chicest Cocktail Making classes in Birmingham happened underground @pogobham

Welcome cocktails, rich chocolate tortes, and buttery lobster rolls were some of the best things paired with some of the best martinis I’ve ever had (I’m a bit biased)

Curl up in a corner at Pogo and take in some of the ambiance like I did during the late nights of the week. You won’t regret it 🥂

One of the things that make or break a dining experience for me is how good the bread is, am I the only one?

I love how Birmingham restaurants within the food scene partner with local bakeries and farms to produce some stellar bread service paired with a unique range of butters.

Here are some of my favorites! Should I do a part two?

It’s Christmas in July @tucanatiki and it couldn’t be any more fun ☃️

Come cool off from the summer heat and indulge in some much needed holiday nostalgia. We’re all adults here, so why not use our free will to bring out the ‘nog a few months early?

Just don’t tell Santa we’re having this much fun without him, we’ll deal with getting off the list later. But for now? We drink and be merry ❄️🥂🎅🏾

If you took some of the fondest moments of my dreams and wrapped them into a experience of intentional taste and pacing, it would look a little something like @reve_bham

Rêve delivers a tasting experience like no other. With some of the freshest ingredients in the city (my scallops were literally alive a few hours before i tasted it), dishes that came with wonderful poetry explaining the feel of every ingredient, and attentive staff that was informed along the way, my expectations were exceeded by reality.

One of my favorite aspects of Rêve is its existence within sustainability, making giving back the heart of the establishment, rather than a part that’s often tacked on to create buzz.

Everything here is handled with care. From the dishes you eat to the literal dishes you eat them on.

Let’s also not mention a guilty pleasure of mine that I will happily indulge in for hours, the Japanese milk bread.

Seriously, if you’re in Birmingham and you’re looking for a one of a kind experience that will leave its mark in the days to come, stop by Rêve.
