Barbecue, Bourbon
& Live Music.

A Home Run
On Dunston Ave

Since its debut in October of 2012, SAW’S Juke Joint has been packed practically every night — yes, even the middle of the week. Drive past Crestline Park and you’ll see the whole shopping center parked with cars, spilling out down the street.

The atmosphere is all about casual and friendly. Reclaimed wood paneling, bare bulbs and metal tables and chairs make for a slightly industrial feel. But this place means business — food and music. Built in the space formerly occupied by Ore and Open Door Café, it pairs the well-known barbeque menu from SAW’s BBQ and SAW’S Soul Kitchen with live music from regional bands on weekend nights.

The ownership pedigree is a surefire hit: founder “Sorry A** Mike Wilson,” partner Brandon Cain, Doug Smith, and American Idol winner and local celebrity Taylor Hicks.

Pull Up A Chair

The well-known barbeque from SAW’s BBQ and SAW’S Soul Kitchen — served with Alabama’s signature white sauce. Note: items and prices are subject to change.

A Top-100 Alabama Dish

They serve barbecue with Alabama’s signature white sauce — made with mayo — and a baked potato stuffed with pork, which the Alabama Tourism Department proclaimed as one of the top 100 dishes in the state to try before you die. The reviews keep coming in, and the food scores high on all accounts.

Live Music, Every Weekend

SAW’s ownership combined their love and knowledge of Southern cuisine, live jazz music and laid-back hangouts … and have a winner. Regional bands take the stage on weekend nights beneath the bare bulbs and reclaimed wood — a Birmingham surefire hit built on reputation and return customers.
