Elite Event: Carrigan’s Public House

What a great time! So cool to get to hang out with the personalities represented on Unilocal!The food was excellent, the drinks were strong (like they’re supposed to be!), and the location was superb. Carrigan’s is just a great place to come and socialize. There isn’t a bad choice on the menu (I have a special place in my heart for the corndogs and pork cheek sliders), when it comes to food. The cocktails are creative, and it’s fun to watch them being made. I thoroughly enjoyed this event, and I’m looking forward to the next one!

I had an amazing time at this event! Thanks so much to our outstanding CM Will L., Danielle S., Carrigan’s Public House, Bulleit Bourbon, and the rest of the Birmingham area Unilocalers who helped to shape the event!
It was especially nice getting to hang out with the familiar faces of the Birmingham Unilocal community. Carrigan’s Public House is a great place to swap conversation, drink delicious & robust cocktails (try a Fighting Words or an Old-​Fashioned for good measure), refreshing beer (try a Good People Brewing IPA or any of the other great craft beer selections), yummy food (including a delicious mini falafel snack), and engaging scenery.
This was my first visit to Carrigan’s and definitely will not be my last. I love the comfortable seating areas, exposed brick, natural wood, industrial finishings, and repurposed décor (such as the cool mini rover car frame bar & tap station, metal beam bar runners, etc.)! The patio area and soon to be opened rooftop patio are two amazing additional features that makes Carrigan’s a unique and one of a kind Birmingham pub that begs you to kick back to enjoy great food, tasty cocktails, and good company!

I’d been to Carrigan’s Public House just once before and from that positive experience, I knew I was definitely in when I heard about the Elite Event here.
My +1 and I had a ball nursing our incredibly strong drinks and gobbling down various offerings from the menu. The corn dogs were a hit with both of us. And I don’t even like corn dogs! Libation-​wise, I tried the «Fightin’ Words» which consisted of Bulleit bourbon, Fernet Branca, orange blossom water, and burnt orange peel.
All of the Carrigan’s staff were nice and welcoming. From behind the velvet ropes, it was fun to gaze outside the wall of windows and watch the trains trickle by. Neato faucets in the restroom too.
I’m already planning a return visit (the outside will be fantastic in warm weather) and want to introduce new folks to this awesome establishment.
Big big thanks to Will for executing this fabuloso event!

So this was my first elite event, and, I must say, I was impressed. What’s not to like? Free DELICIOUS food, free STRONG drinks, and free UnilocalTASTIC swag! All at one of my favorite bars in Birmingham. Without even considering the food and drink, the event was a success. I met so many fantastic people who I will definitely be hanging out with again. Also, I think it was really great that we had so many guests there to experience the party scene of an elite Unilocaler! Big thanks to Will, Carrigan’s, and Bulleit Bourbon for a night of fun! The only thing more I have to say is, when is the next one???

Cudos (as always) to CM Wil L for another outstanding Unilocal Elite experience! Carrigans is such the awesome venue, great food, great drinks, great people… that’s what Unilocal is all about!
I can’t wait for another Elite event. And, I can’t wait to go back to Carrigans!!!

Doesn’t get better than the Unilocal Elite does it?! First of all I already am a big fan of Carrigans… And to come and have a «section» was pretty nice. Plenty of room for everybody to stretch out yet get to know each other!
Free food (everything here is great!), free drinks (certain beers), free STUFF (mints, koozies, and sweatbands)!
Thanks to Will and any others who help to put on this event and all others I plan to attend later this year!

Another awesome Unilocal event! Thanks to Will, Unilocal,Carrigan’s, and anyone else that made it such a great night!
I have always loved Carrigans so was excited to attend a Unilocal event here. As always, the drinks were perfectly made and the food was delicious. The service was wonderful as well!
We tried the pork cheek sliders, corn dogs, CLT, double burger, and falafel burger! All were delicious! I especially love their corn dogs and pork cheek sliders. I love how they make common pub food into upscale gourmet tasting dishes. Already looking forward to coming back and having the pork cheek sliders! Love the extra kick of jalapeño on these.
Great to meet fellow Unilocalers and look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Nabbing FTR’s for Elite Events. It’s what I do.
Great free drinks, great free food, free parking, what’s not to love? That sandwich with the jalapeño’s was great but weee-​hoo, those things were hot. It took half my beer, a mini corn dog and a CLT (Chicken, Lettuce and Tomato, y’all!) to cool things down again. Did I mention that the food was great? Loved that corn dog!
Big thanks to Birmingham’s «part-​time» Community Manager. Will does a super job of outreach and tonight’s event is evidence of it. Big turnout in a neat location to introduce the Unilocal community to a stylish restaurant and to introduce the owner to the Unilocal community. He mentioned that the rooftop lounge is due to open «in a month or so» and it’s just such a great location what I am sure will be an awesome view of the Birmingham skyline and across the valley that it will be a complete hit.
Super to meet so many of Birmingham’s Elite Unilocalers and a good few +1s. Y’all are keeping it real!
