It s a great place to just kick back and be yourself. John T.

3000 Bar 1100 20th St S 205-933-3222 BIRMINGHAM

Born from a local radio host s dream, 3000 Bar is Birming-

ham s premier daiquiri bar. But this new 5 Points joint features more than just daiquiris, of course. It s a great place to mingle with singles, down a round of craft beers, or just grab a bite to eat and watch the game. 3000 Bar has it all! I meet some interesting new person every time I show up. This place is happen- ing, people. Harold R.
