Bottletree Café
3719 3rd Avenue South Birmingham, AL 35222
205-533-6288
We don’t just go back to Bottletree around noon the next day to close our tab-we go to get some healthy grub. This Downtown café/bar/live music venue is decorated with bottles, naturally, and has great indie energy. Order the Cajun sweet potato fries, chill out with a board game, and don’t be ashamed if you can’t control tapping your foot to the great beats they have playing. The menu is very vegetarian-friendly and includes wraps, sandwiches, hummus plate, tacos, and quesadillas. You don’t have to twist our arm to order more than one thing- bring on the soy sour cream. Free Wi-Fi and they know what time happy hour really should start- 3 p.m. And that it should last for 5 hours-very sneaky. Hours of Operation: Café 11a.m.-10 p.m. Mon-Sat/ Bar: Open late.

love the bottltree

3/13/2010 Posted by daustin

unimpressed is a doofus. the bottltree is perhaps the best music venue for alt-rock in the south. it is small, but after 10 years in new york, it is rare, and fantastic, to be able to see a band like TV on the Radio with no more than 300 others.

Place for Elite Artist Wannabes and Impolite Workers to Gather

At first glance I was very impressed by the ambiance of the Bottle Tree, however, that feeling soon dissipated as I encountered many of the workers. When I first walked into the Bottle Tree there was a doorman who for lack of a better word can only be described as distasteful both in appearance and personality, and be forewarned that once you are inside you might as well think of it as your prison cell and the workers as the prison guards that have the only key to your freedom. Also skip going to the bar if you're not willing to give the bartender a tip because he/she is talented enough to get your beer out of a crate and pop the top off of it. And if you do manage to get an alcoholic beverage you might as well be ready to hold up your arm that has your "21 or older" bracelet on for the rest of the night or else be prepared to get chastised by the fanatical flashlight shining asking you constantly to show your bracelet lady. I can honestly say that the only pleasant worker I came across was the person selling Dr. Dog shirts and albums. The Bottle Tree must also have it's own time clock because not only did I have to wait 4 hours past the show time Dr. Dog was scheduled to begin performing, but in those 4 hours I had to suffer listening to two mediocre bands and be exposed to 2nd hand smoking anytime I needed to get some "fresh" air outside with all of the self -aggrandizing, pompous crowd. In hindsight I would have evaded the Bottle Tree and went somewhere else to see Dr. Dog.
