The original Birmingham Halloween pop up is in full swing. We put our blood, guts & fears into this month every year. Original drinks you can't find anywhere else served in original drinkware made by supremely talented bartender/artist Alexa Lee Yates also only available at Pilcrow. Come have some spooky fun with us 💀.

We get asked all the time what this space looked like before we opened.

Since we just passed 8 years on August 1, here's a look back at the basement before it became Pilcrow.

Stop sweating through your shirt up there and come get a drink.

I’ve been bartending for over 20 years, all over the country. These days I’m dad to 5-year-old, Flip, and my wife Meg who used to be here all the time before we had him… now she’s got a much harder job as Mom to Flip

Also, I’m pretty sure bars only start posting videos of owners introducing themselves because somewhere along the line we all read that it’s “good for engagement” once things get a little slow. So here we are.

I just wanted to say thanks. Seriously. The people who have found us, supported us, told their friends… it means more than you probably realize.

We hit October hard every year, but we’re not just a Halloween bar. Summers can be tough, and we could really use y’all right now.

I’ve always tried to keep our prices as fair as possible, even while everything keeps going up. Rent doesn’t exactly cut us any breaks.

If you’ve got a work group, happy hour crew, whatever… we’d love to have you in early evenings, for a nightcap and anything in between.

And if you’ve ever been here and have thoughts—good or bad—shoot me an email. It’s in the profile. I actually read them.

Hope to see you soon.

Run a team or an office downtown?

Let us host your happy hour. Weekly, monthly, or whenever.

We’ll reserve space and keep it easy so you can just show up with your people.

Low-key, actually enjoyable.
