Garage Cafe
Birmingham, Alabama
Tucked out of the way on a side street like many a fine drinking establishment, the Garage Cafe is one of the area's hidden gems. This old garage-turned-bar — hence the name — offers a decent selection of beers, good, strong drinks, and decent sandwiches, but the real highlight is the patio. Covered with random antiques and random yard sale-style finds, you could spend hours just browsing through the stuff, to say nothing of relaxing underneath the vines overhead. Just don't forget to bring cash — the ATM fees here can be a little rough.
