Great for scenic views
Great for creative cocktails
Good for groups

Located on the 6th floor overlooking the Black Warrior River, our bar and kitchen menus celebrate our local roots and our love of the rich history of Tuscaloosa. The 205 is the perfect spot for celebrating date nights out, singing & dancing along to live performances at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, and toasting a Crimson Tide win with our specialty cocktails. With this idea, we aim to create an environment where all are welcome to laugh with friends, neighbors, visitors, and members of the Tuscaloosa community. The care for our guests and focus on hospitality elevates The 205 above the rest!

The restaurant has a fun look and good location. When making the reservation on OpenTable I did not realize it was inside a hotel. As for the food, the menu was very small which isn’t an issue but unfortunately the food was not good. The kitchen was clearly having issues. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer, 1.5 hours for two of our dinners to get there food and 2 hours for the remaining two dishes to come out. They were all burgers and were dry. The fries were good and cocktails were good. We were not made aware of any kitchen issues until the last dish was served. We thought we had just been forgotten. We will not return.

Absolutely horrible experience!!! Would not recommend and will never ever go back!!! Food was fair, but service / simply awful!!!!!! Apps came out reasonably timely - dip was fair but wings were cold and fair at best. The restaurant was not full and it took almost 3 hours to get our dinner order - and it was just 3 burgers. Drinks not refilled and table not cleared in between apps and burgers. Cleared the table myself and went to the bar to get more drinks and refill our water glasses. Absolutely ridiculous!!! No wonder it was half empty and the only place in town you could get a reservation. If you have reservations - unless you are desperate and do not care about service - strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

We dined at The 205 on a Friday night. We were staying at the Homewood Suites, and since The 205 is located atop the hotel, it was easiest. We were so happy we chose to dine there! We were served by a lovely young lady named Lacey, who was cheerful, friendly, and helpful. We had a variety of foods: The 205 Dip (Yuuuuummm!), Truffle Parmesan Fries (incredible!), an Italian Flatbread that was delicious, and The Backyard Bama pulled chicken sandwich...also great. Cocktails were great! A+ on service, food, ambiance! We will return.

We were not guests of the hotel but chose this restaurant based on their Restaurant week special of Shrimp and Grits. It turns out that they did not have that item available. Nice atmosphere but sun through windows was unbearable. After receiving our first drink the waitress took our order and never checked on us again. After 45 min our food arrived and some of it was cold. The restaurant wasn’t busy. We took our business somewhere else. We were excited to give 205 a try, but will not be returning.
