Shift has a really cool vibe and excellent happy hour specials (5-7 on weeknights). They had live music on Wednesday night and food is 40% off and 50% off drinks. Our server Scott was a sweetheart and the food came out pretty quickly. He even made me a mocktail that wasn't on the menu with grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and soda.My favorite item was the filet tips- the quality of meat was so good and it was seasoned well. It came with some goat cheese, peppers and arugula. I will say that it was a rather small portion of food though- maybe 6-8 bites of meat. The lamb lollipops were good with the balsamic drizzle but I preferred the filet tips since they were leaner. We also got the beet salad, the vinaigrette was good but otherwise the salad was just ok. Edamame was standard. Veggie/hummus tray was fresh. Lettuce wraps were good but had a bit of a kick. You can park free for 2 hours in the lot accross the street.

This place is made for a couple cocktails. A large wrap around bar, surrounded by booths. They have live music which is a one many show in the corner. It was decent. Service was a little slow on getting those first drinks... My issue was two things. At least a few times, I heard people who work there saying how great everything is. How great the HH is. This was to the point where it made it feel artificial. Kind of like some of the reviews here. The prices here are not great. Clearly they are hoping you order something when it's not HH, as the regular food / prices are about as high as I've seen for what they offer. Not sure we'll be back.

Great happy hour at this place! There were 7 of us for a post- New Year welcome to an out of towner. Drinks and wine are can work on special with significant discounts from posted prices. A couple of us sampled a few of the mocktails, and while they weren't discounted,I was very pleased with my spicy strawberry which was really spicy in a good way! A friend had the cucumber and the watermelon and she preferred the cuke as she said it was too sweet for her taste. Most drank the 30% off wine, the Pinot Noir from Clark & Telephone got a thumbs up. If you're a beer snob (I am) there's no taps but there's M43 along with several more typical beers. We sampled a variety of their shareable appetizers which were 40% off during Happy Hour.(5-7 pm) The Ahi Tuna and King Pao chicken tacos were big hits, the mezza plate had some of the best gummed in town. I had the lettuce wraps were tasty but different from those at PF Chang's which to me are soaked in soy sauce. The brussels went fast, the only leftovers were a few of the edamame which only a few of us tried(not me). There's live music, not excessively loud but we all wished there were more places that would tone it down a bit. The music was pleasant enough, the guy played keyboard and guitar, but a few in the group use hearing aids which is always a challenge with any background noise. The waitstaff was very accommodating, even taking the time to split up the bill among the couples and singles so that's a plus. Looking at the website Tuesday is half off tacos and tequila. I also see there are other locations in Plymouth and Grosse Pointe besides this location in Birmingham.

Happy Hour here, you have my heart. The food was to die for good, especially for the price - felt criminal! Truffle fries? A MUST. Good shareable size for ~3 people. Lamb chops were fall off the bone tasty (almost ordered 2 more servings). And the sweet and spicy shrimp was a favorite. I tried the espresso martini, so YUMMY!! Our server was the goat because he was moving with the swiftness as we kept ordering before HH ended. With the live music, the vibes are best suited for group occasions, but I can still see the romance vibes. Seriously would recommend this place without hesitation. Can't wait to come back!Parking is available across the street in a paid-lot.

Vibes were cute! Live music (one man band, acoustic guitar) on a Tuesday night and tacos and tequila drinks were half off. Service was great, the staff was really really nice!Shrimp tacos were regularly $22 so with the discount it made it a normal price and honestly still wasn't worth it... the tortillas were cold and tasted like Gordon food service or something... not quality ingredients that is for sure. I didn't complain about the food because I didn't think it was worth it but I'm sure the staff would've been nice about it because they really were kind people. Drinks were okay but I feel the whole experience was just a bit over priced and maybe I'd come back but only for happy hour and not a whole meal.

I really love this place! Everything I've had on the menu is good - most things are shareable too! Many of the appetizers come in a set of 3, but you can add on 1 or two more if need be for your group!The color red margaritas are incredible and spicy! I can't stop drinking thoseAnd they have happy hour thurs-sun with 40% off food, or they did! Don't quote me but check ! The wings, the sliders, the Brussels, seriously everything is good.

Came here to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. They have an incredible happy hour that is everyday 5p-7. It was decorated so cute and it was nice to get out and celebrate with my friends and have some time to myself. Love my family but it's so important to have an identity outside of our Kids and Partners!! Food was good drinks were really good and the service was good overall also. Even brought us some Birthday lemon drop shots with a candle since they don't have dessert.

One of my favorite spots for happy hour, especially on weekends! They have 40% off food and everything was delicious. We ordered the seared ahi tuna, sweet and spicy shrimp, and lamb sliders and I'd recommend all of those! You can't go wrong with any of their cocktails. The bar gets crowded later in the night and sometimes has live music. The service is pretty good, only sometimes takes a minute to get served if they're really busy.

The food, drinks, and overall aesthetic are all perfect but the staff is so rude! Our server had the worst attitude which was very unwelcoming, maybe it was just a bad day though.

Love this place!! The service, the drinks, the food, all 10/10. My favorite is the cucumber drink, the fries, and the pizza.
