The Club, Inc

We attended a special event (Valentine dinner and dancing). The Club is a fantastic venue but it is a private club for members only. The location of The Club on top of Red Mountain overlooking the city is a beautiful setting. The food and staff were excellent. The Club has a old fashioned retro vibe with ballroom, meeting rooms and bar.

It’s nice.. undeniably. As long as you know somebody who can get you in then it’s an amazing experience. It is incredibly exclusive so… for better or worse, there’s that. ALSO- there are certainly better places to dine at in Birmingham when it comes to the quality of the food. You only go to the club for the atmosphere and the view.

Performed here as an aerialist for NYE and it was the most gorgeous venue. They took great care of us as performers, nice green room and catering. Grateful for the awesome gig!

Great scenery! Great atmosphere,wouldn’t mind going back. Went with a work group well after the lunch hour rush, so it wasn’t a lot of patrons there while we were there. Unfortunately our server didn’t do the best job today. It looked as if she was more concerned with socializing than making sure our table of ten people had all their needs met. Every refill of sweet tea I️ got, I️ had to ask for. Wasn’t sure if the kitchen staff was short handed or if the waiter just didn’t put our order in in time because the time we waited for our food didn’t reflect the amount of people dining. Overall, the atmosphere and the views somewhat made up for the not so great service.

I was here for a work event and enjoyed the space. It seemed like an older building, but it is in very good shape. There are so many rooms and spaces in here and lots of bathrooms. All of the bathrooms I visited were clean and neat. They even had actual changing tables in them with wipes and extra toilet paper. They use cute cloths instead of paper towels. They have a bar area that leads into one of the rooms we were using and their office/reception area is on that same level. There were building staff present the entire night to assist with our needs. Their staff served the food quickly and also cleaned up quickly. They were professional and helpful. Everyone at this space was amazing and if I were to go here for another event, I know I’d enjoy myself.

A family member has been involved in hosting a major charitable event at The Club in Birmingham—an evening that draws over 600 guests and generates more than $100,000 in revenue for the venue. For years, it’s been a positive partnership. Unfortunately, this year was a complete departure from that standard of excellence. General Manager Brian Green and Private Events Coordinator Taylor Blackburn displayed behavior that was unprofessional, rude, and downright condescending, even causing a scene in front of guests and vendors. Multiple attendees were stunned to see representatives of a private club behave so disrespectfully toward a charitable organization that brings substantial business and visibility to the property. The event’s success has always relied on collaboration and mutual respect—two things sorely missing under the current management. Taylor Blackburn, in particular, came across as inexperienced and more concerned with appeasing her superior than serving the client. It’s deeply disappointing to see a venue of The Club’s reputation allow this kind of conduct to define its leadership. If you’re considering hosting an event here, think twice. There are far better venues in Birmingham that still understand what professionalism looks like.

What a unique, retro building! Super cool entryway. Amazing views outside on their patio area, as well as through the ballroom windows. I was here for a business event and had lunch. The salad had exceptionally fresh bibb lettuce, really good. Entree was a panko breaded airline chicken breast, topped with a cream sauce, garnished with capers and shredded Parmesan. The sauce was good, the chicken was better, moist and well seasoned. The breading was crisp and not greasy at all. The plate was drizzled with a pesto sauce. Side items were potatoes au gratin. They were OK. I was trying to decide if they were uniformly mandoline-slices fresh, or if it was a pre-prepared product. The veggie was 3 roasted purple carrots. These were better than the potatoes, wish I'd had more carrots! Then came the rolls/bread. Sister Schubert rolls were one option. The other looked like a cheddar/herb/corn muffin of some kind, but they were actually a signature orange muffin with shredded coconut in it (?) pretty sure. This was NOT good. After googling, evidently this is a special recipe they make. I missed why it's special - it was dry, had a crunchy, bright/artificial orange colored glaze (I thought it was shredded cheddar). Just didn't work for me. Dessert choices were red velvet cake and key lime pie. Both were prepared frozen products, nice quality though, not made in house though. I had the key lime. It was OK. Plate was drizzled with raspberry coulis, which had sort of dried on the plate. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked.
