This bar is a train wreck, and not in a charming dive-bar kind of way. The owners are some of the most entitled, disrespectful people I've ever encountered. They treat their staff horrendously--no breaks, constant belittling, and a complete lack of basic decency.On top of that, their attitude toward customers is just as bad. They sit on their stoop, scanning the place like they're doing us a favor by letting us be here. The way they look at people is so condescending it's almost laughable, except it's not--it's just insulting.It's clear they don't care about their employees, their patrons, or running a decent business. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely. There are plenty of bars where the staff is treated well, and you don't have to deal with the owners' bad vibes ruining your night.

We met Mitch (owner) the week before my son and his to be bride booked Dick O' Dows for their wedding "welcome party" which was held the Friday evening before their May 25 wedding in Birmingham MI. Mitch was professional and booked us in the back room which was the perfect spot for 70 people hosted bar and a few appetizers. No surprises on the completely itemized bill. For this type of event I would recommend this bar 100% Thank you Mitch!

Stopped in mid afternoon on Saturday to have a drink and watch the Masters. Front room was closed. Back room was busy. Service was slow and disappeared for long time. Asked for a cocktail and after some discussion was told cannot make due to not having an ingredient. Lots of draft beer. One person in our group ordered a wine and could not finish it.

My friend and I came here on a Saturday evening in this summer and it was basically the only place in the downtown Birmingham area that had space available and that probably should've been a red flag. We tried at least calling or walking to 10+ places around downtown beforehand too, so it wasn't for lack of trying. When we walked into Dick O' Dows it was nearly empty, and this was prime dinnertime as well on the weekend. There were maybe only 20% of the tables occupied, which was really surprising, given how jam packed every other place was.There wasn't anyone to seat us after we waited about 3 minutes at the front, so we went ahead and found an open booth and seated ourselves. We waited probably around 5 more minutes before a waiter came to our table and gave us menus. The service wasn't bad, just slow, which was extra surprising given how little people were in the restaurant to begin with. Our waitress was actually super friendly and my friend who is gluten free had a lot of questions for her that she was very knowledgeable on or would check with others to get the correct answers, so that was really appreciated.Other than that, everything else was unremarkable. The food was fine, but nothing to write home about certainly, and I left our meal feeling underwhelmed, but just happy that we got to find a place to sit down and catch up. I won't be recommending this spot to anyone anytime soon, but might try it again if I find myself in a similar predicament where I find myself in Birmingham without a reservation on a very busy night.

Place was pretty quiet for a weekend. Our server was nice and efficient. Drinks were good, food not so great. Very little meat in the Reuben. Burger was missing some ingredients listed in the menu description. OK but not great. I wish an Irish bar around here would have popular Irish dishes like a spice bag, sausage rolls, an all-day Irish breakfast or even an old- fashioned, bog standard Irish summer salad. If it's an Irish bar have some Irish food not the same menu as every other bar. I'd pay good money for an Irish Sunday roast in the winter. I'd go every week to a place serving fish n chips with Irish curry.

Very nice staff and excellent food. Also a great environment. You still have the old Irish bar feel upfront with a newer vibe and back.

Years ago, I used to go to this place all the time. I admit I haven't been there in quite a few years for one reason or another. Went back today at early afternoon. It's a nice place. But I was shocked at the beer prices. Nine dollars for a pint of standard brewery beer and this is at happy hour time. They never said there was a happy hour fair enough. But I never thought that anyone would charge nine dollars for a freaking pint. Part of the reason I can afford anything I want to buy is because I don't pay ridiculous prices. Six dollars on an afternoon mid week would be the most it would seem. And maybe eight dollars if you want to gouge people on a Saturday night. Remember these are basic brewery beers not some special custom craft thingThe appetizers were good and the place is OK. But I'm not paying that much for beer. I guess it'll be a few more years before I'm back

I will never frequent Dick O Dows in B'ham again!! And suggest you don't either!!!Went to watch game and drink beers with an out of town friend at 5pm on Friday. The place was not crowded and we sat in the back at one of 2 open six tops. The waitress said we had to move, since it was just 2 of us-which was fine. Then the Owner came over and was extremely rude!!! She offered to move us to an open table directly underneath the TV with our game. I explained we could not comfortably watch the game from directly below the TV and she then brought over a bouncer to intimidate us. BTW we are both seniors?We left and went to THE BIRMINGHAM PUB instead. Friendly service and treated us like valued customers!!

If I could give zero stars, I would. This bar is a disgrace--not because of the drinks or ambiance, but because of the shocking way the owners (Mitch and Sharon) treat their staff. Employees are overworked, disrespected, and denied basic human decency like breaks. It's clear the owners care more about squeezing every penny out of their staff than creating a welcoming environment for customers or fostering a healthy workplace.Seeing such blatant mistreatment completely ruined my experience. I cannot, in good conscience, support a business that exploits its employees. Spend your money somewhere that values both its patrons and the people making the magic happen behind the scenes.

Horrible & Rude Ownership! I have never met a more disengaged business owner than Mitch, who clearly knows or cares so little about customer service! In attempting to reserve a private party, each time we met he had a notebook void of any pertinent details crucial to the event, no follow-up, and just grossly unprofessional. Follow that with mediocre food and staff; No Thank You! Go to Birmingham Pub for your events; beautiful ambience, great food, and well trained staff with amazing and kind ownership that act professionally and execute beautifully!
