This might be the only place in the upper half of Alabama that plays anything remotely close to Top 40/EDM. If this is the closest thing I have to a bar that plays Calvin Harris within 100 miles, I’ll take it. The first floor is a disguise that makes non-locals strolling by think this place is deserted. The 2nd floor is a whole different scene and lots of fun. The dance area is on the porch and the setting is nice even as you hear Nicki Minaj blasting in the background. The drinks are strong and cheap. Even if you don’t want to dance, people-watching is just as good. There’s always a group that knows how to dance and a group that can’t. Nobody cares. You’ll be entertained either way and everyone is friendly. I’m not sure why there are only 5 reviews in existence because there were definitely more than 100 people here on both non-football game nights I visited.

It’s been Fall 2012 since I last visited Rounders. It had a bit of a stuffy entry bar/band room and a shoulder-to-shoulder back room that was really the main selling point for most. Fast-forward to now and you’ve got a different face being shown by this iconic hotspot. The entry bar/band room is spacious enough to fit a decent crowd, not to mention a larger band than could previously fit in the smaller corner stage. The back room is still the«club» room, but has stair access to the newer 2nd floor… and that’s where I had most of my fun this time. Never before in Tuscaloosa have I heard house music in a public setting, so it was great to hear a DJ(with some guests) spinning their own mixes on tracks I’ve heard on SoundCloud. I hope Rounders keeps up the 3-room concept… that’s really the best way to capture the widest audience!

Let it be known that I’m past my college days and was here for a work event. That being said, I had forgotten the joys of a college bar. The amount of alcohol that goes into these drinks is obscene. Every drink is what any normal bar would consider a double. Are they double the price? Nope! It’s a college bar in a college town. These kids are on a budget and looking for the biggest bang for your buck. Expect loud, bass filled music and uninformed bartenders. It’s all relative, so enjoy yourself and all of the alcohol in your drink.

They double booked our senior bar crawl and they are the worst and we had to walk after we paid. Not cool!!!

2 floors including an outside/rooftop area. One of the only places you can get in under 21(19+ still can’t drink) and usually has quite a few people there. Bartenders are nice and service is pretty fast. Cover ranges from $ 5 for 21+ on normal Friday/Saturdays and $ 10 for under 21, to anywhere from $ 20 – 25 for everyone on especially big game days. Covers are usually less the earlier you go. No cover during the week generally.
