About The Mill Bar & Grill
On 19th St N in Bessemer, The Mill Bar & Grill is a bar that welcomes walk-ins and does not serve food itself, though patrons are free to bring in outside meals. Pool tables sit in the back, and a dance floor with tables and chairs fills part of the room. Live bands play on Friday and Saturday nights, and karaoke nights bring in the crowd on other evenings. Smoking is permitted inside. The bar opens daily, with no reservations needed, just a walk-in policy for anyone stopping by.

Customer Review Summary
Live bands on weekends draw the most praise, with several reviewers calling the performances excellent or incredible and a recurring highlight of the experience. Close behind, the bartenders come up repeatedly as a strength, with one describing a bartender's margaritas as the best within an hour of Birmingham and another noting a bartender who keeps checking on tables and makes it feel like family. Pool tables and a dance floor also get mentioned as regular draws, and one reviewer points to Tommie's karaoke nights and a long-running regular crowd. Not every visit lines up though: one reviewer found it just an average hangout, said the band lineup is a gamble, and struggled to find a dance partner as a single visitor, while another warned not to expect a good drink there. Smoking indoors is flagged by a couple of reviewers as worth knowing beforehand.

“Excellent bands roll through here on Friday & Saturdays. The crowd is always friendly, social & trouble free. Staci the bartender makes the best margaritas within an hour of Birmingham my girlfriend swears, lol. It has pool tables in the back. They do not serve food, but will let you bring outside food in. Put this one on your list to visit!”
