Zydeco is one of the best bars in the Birmingham area. Reasonably priced drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. Live music is always fun to hear on the patio. Even during the Coronavirus pandemic, they make sure everyone is socially distancing and wearing masks. Very great times!

Great place for a small intimate concert. But if youre looking for a big crowd style venue this isnt it. But for the show I saw it was perfect.

Could not go in because theh said that the bar was closing soon so no more alcohol. I was not going there for alcohol just to have a nice time. So I left. The man at thev entrance didnt even try to welcome me in. So sad.

This was a halfway decent venue. Its tiny, dark, dank, bathrooms are kinda gross and the stall doors may or may not lock.The acoustics were somewhat lacking. I cant comment on the quality of the drinks or their prices, being that (due to unfortunate circumstances beyond my control) I was not able to partake in any debauchery.Loved seeing Badflower here though. The guys seemed pleased with the venue.Oh, and shout out to the homeless guy who broke into my friends car for us when she locked her keys in it. This guy was a hella lot cheaper than AAA and quicker.

For my first time ever at the venue I would say my first impression is that is a very Urban fun kind of hit place to be it seems like no matter the music the people are well Blended while around a no one got too crazy seem like some people are over friendly but thats anywhere you go the staff the performers and all top-notch will definitely use then you again and definitely recommend to others.

Great venue! Very small which means a very up close and personal experience with the bands which is what I love!

Ive been a few times. The DJ plays a lot of songs that are weird to dance to. Its best to go when they host a party or college event because it can be dead sometimes. You can still have fun if youre going with a group of friends and dont want to go far from UAB

Had a great time at the Jelly Roll show. Parked for free across the street. The line moved fast outside. All the staff was working hard and was very friendly but it does need to step it up on the air conditioning it was way to hot inside and the ladies restroom needed toilet paper. All in all I will be going back in the future and maybe by then these things will be corrected. Keep up all the good work Zydeco. Great place for a small show...

Great place to go see live music, altho its extremely dark in there and w the low ceilings it can get quite warm in there.

This place is a standing sauna in the summertime. I feel like I was gonna melt or die from the heat and humidity.. BUT it was fun to be upclose to the performers. surreal to be so close

Review №24

Went to a concert here and absolutely loved it! Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the parking situation. There was also a support pole towards the front center of the stage, and I would rather have a support pole slightly blocking my view than to have the roof come down. The stage was good and the sound was great. I dont know about the bar since I dont drink, but they did have three bartenders working and it didnt seem like anyone had a long wait. The bathroom was a lot cleaner than I was expecting. Overall, had a good experience and would go back if someone that I really wanted to see was performing.

Cool divey small venue with big sound and big patio, great to see a band. No chairs but why would you want to sit?

Music was great. Got to see Jelly Roll but it was super packed in there and they didnt have enough fans or any air running. I literally seen people passing out on the floor and not being taking care of very well.

Bands were great... The venue needs to be leveled... Hot, poor visibility, short ceilings and the floor slants down and away from the stage... Making visibility even worse.

Review №48

Awesome venue, they have really improved the stage. And the sound is incredibly improved, it doesnt hurt your ears anymore.My one complaint: The show was rained almost out. Storming hard outside, and a security crew was marching around looking for something to do. That was bull. Bad management on THAT one!

Zydeco is a staple of the Birmingham music scene. They book everyone from your local country singers to jam bands on the rise to world-touring European metal bands! Intimate stages, loud music, huge outdoor patio, great bar food, cold beers.. what more could you need?

Good venue, columns block the stage depending on where youre standing and they have a no hardcore dancing sign.

Review №56

I used to love this place 15 years ago what I was going to punk rock shows slim and skulls in the pit. Its still the same place for a fairly intimate Indy show it has a bar that may or may not have entertainment going on that evening. But honestly the kind of people that go to that bar arent really the folks that I enjoy hanging out with

One of my favorite venues. Smaller place but the sound is always grrrrreat!! You can always feel the music. Its where you wanna see your fav band at.

Review №58

I really enjoyed this place. Lived in Birmingham for years and never heard of it. But went with my son to see Slaughter to Prevail and Oceano. Not really my music style but they had a set up for everyone. Pool/Diner/Bar area down stairs. Mid level outside Bar like a court yard type deal and upper level concert/band / bar area. Impressed!

Erra! They played live here and the sound was great. Took a star away because of the 10 dollar minimum at the bar. Restrooms could use a little bit of a cleaning too. Overall, nice crowd and I was satisfied with my overall expierience.

Nice to see they are expanding musically from the typical jam band stuff they usually book. Club is no frills and has a great outside area.

Review №66

Never been to the bar, but have always gone there for shows in the upstairs venue. Some love it, others hate it. Personally, I think its great for music as it provides a more intimate setting for fans to watch their favorite acts. Fair warning: the upstairs ceiling is very low and if you stand next to the speakers during a show, your ears will ring for days.

Review №71

5 stars despite shortcomings in areas of hospitable service and a decent cocktail or food selection. Why? The caliber of talent they bring in is phenomenal. Id rather them continue to focus on bringing great music to AL than serving great food, though I do miss the days of coming early for ettoufe pre-show. And, a good martini pairs so well with great music..

I had gone there without cash. Thre was a $5 cover. Asked the bouncer to let me in to use the ATM to get cash. It wasnt working. went back to the guy and he ended up letting me in anyways. Great service, the DJ is open to suggestions from the crowd and cant beat Thursday night deals.

Bullcrap experience. Travelled 3 hours. Went to see as I lay dying. Moshing in the mosh pit with everyone, then SECURITY grabs me in a CHOKEHOLD. The man choked me while cussing in my face until I fell to the ground unable to breathe. Threatening that he would whoop my A** if I did it again. I get up and storm out. While Im outside talking to security he runs out what are you crying about now then gets in my face saying he would beat my A** again. I tell the man Im leaving and did nothing wrong. While Im leaving, he is still yelling and cussing at me. THE SECURITY GAURD. I leave the venue and find a cop. I was gonna file a report until the owner came out and said the man was fired and just left. Very unprofessional place. I was assaulted by a security gaurd here. I do not recommend this place for anyone. Unsafe to have fun at a METAL concert without getting assaulted, for being in a mosh pit.

Venue/bar brings some good music, but low ceilings and no air flow in band room. Makes for a very hot night out during September in Alabama.

Review №87

Drove from atlanta to see the whitechapel show. Waited in a line in the rain for over an hour even though we bought tickets ahead of time. And the venue itself was garbage. Worst concert venue Ive probably ever been to. We missed the first two bands because of the line. And the stage floor goes up the closer you get so you could barely see anything unless your really close and the place was packed like sardines so it was near impossible to see. Ill never come to this venue for a show again.

Really cool and unique venue. Theres multiple levels and rooms. Ive been here for a private event and for a concert.For concerts, the ceiling is a little low and the sound not perfect, but theyve definitely maximized the functionality of the space.There is an outside area with heaters and is really enjoyable iftl the weather is nice
