Highlands Bar and Grill
Birmingham, Alabama
Say the phrase "bar and grill" to most foodies and you'll likely get an eye roll, as visions of Damon's-like dives dance in their heads. Unless, that is, they've been to Highlands Bar and Grill. Far from the fried fare of your typical bar and grill, Highlands serves up a daily-changing menu of relatively simple yet superbly prepared food, building on fresh, local ingredients and letting their flavors shine. Classic cocktails, an impressive wine list, and a strong selection of beers round out the offerings which can be enjoyed at the bar, or in the dining room. Just remember to dress appropriately — jackets are preferred and no shorts are allowed inside, to say nothing of your average sports team apparel.
