About this spot

The Louis occupies a prime spot inside The Pizitz Food Hall at 1821 2nd Ave N in Birmingham, Alabama — one of the South's most celebrated adaptive reuse projects. Set within the restored 1920s Pizitz department store building, the bar brings craft cocktail culture to one of Birmingham's most dynamic dining hubs.

The menu leans into seasonal, spirit-forward cocktails with locally influenced flavors. Guests have enjoyed drinks like the Alabama Mule and rotating barrel-aged selections, paired with shareable bar bites that complement the broader food hall offerings surrounding them. The approachable menu keeps both cocktail novices and enthusiasts engaged.

The Louis is ideal for after-work drinks, a night out before exploring downtown Birmingham, or a leisurely afternoon sip in a space that buzzes with energy from the surrounding vendors. Walk-ins are welcome; arrive early on weekends for a seat at the bar.
