The Hummingbird Stage & Taproom

In my opinion I think this would be a great hangout spot for people who like to go to bars have a drink and a good time. They have I large area for dancing and a big bar. They also have darts and a chalk board to keep up with the scores when you play. The only downside for me and possibly others is the inside smoking. I cant be around cigarettes due to sinus surgery so it messed up my sinuses. If you do not like cigarette smoke or cant be around it, then this place is not for you. But if you are good with it then by all means stop by and have a good time.

Always a good time with friendly people. Just know that whatever you wear is going to smell like cigarette smoke when you leave. To me its worth it once in a while to enjoy a local watering hole.

Dive bar kinda place which I dig. First time there and bartenders treated me like a regular. Definitely will hit up next time Im in Macon.

Always a great time, with great staff and affordable libations!

Best place in town

Good place to hang out with a younger crowd and friendly staff.

Ok for college kids, but not really a place for grown-ups. Great staff

Great bar with an even better atmosphere. I love the patio they have out back, great for if youre not a smoker like myself. The bartenders can make you any drink under the sun and if they do t know they will look it up. And on saturdays they have live bands who are generally pretty good. Its an all-around good time at The Hummingbird.

The hummingbird is a mix of different characters mostly all embracing of strangers...the only bad in the atmosphere is the music choice the owner doesnt allow r&b or rap when most people would actually like to hear a wide variety of music

Lots of smokers. Darts was fun.

I was warned that the smoke is absolutely unbearable by locals but I wanted to see some live music while making a blues tour through the South. The band ended up once the sound issues were cleaned up being good. The kids could have cared less about the music and the smoke was horrible. Too bad as there are so few venues that show case bands.

Cool place to chill, play trivia, and throw darts.

I like the ambience. Service was excellent, people were nice and the drinks were strong. Very smokey inside tho but it was an awesome place. All ages and races mingled together

Great place, fun atmosphere

My friend brought me here for the first time. I had a blast, the drinks were awesome! The only negative is the lack of ventilation and the smoking inside was overwhelming. I had trouble breathing at times so I couldnt fully enjoy myself. I would come on a regular basis, but as a Pre- med student, I know 2nd hand smoke is just as deadly. I wish they would enforce a no smoking ban and designate the outside areas for smokers. If they do, I dont think they would lose any business because this is a popular and fun spot.

My sister and I came here for our first anniversary celebrating 25 years of familyhood. The bar was really nice and the bartender was really cool. The mens room was cleaner than what I got at home and the birds flying around in the bar were pretty darn nice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill spot after Wednesday night church service. They serve handhelds ala sandwiches, lady fingers and red velvet cake slices. They validate parking for those who were wondering. Go check it out now!

Affordable, clean, old fashioned atmosphere. Well for my generation. Nice patio, and helpful staff

Cool Place,good drink prices for downtown,I had a good time!I like sitting out back !

I love to play darts! Always great music

Had a totally brOOtal time! Rock on ️

I cant go here but maybe you can. It is a great bar. The atmosphere is very cool with live music. The crowd is diverse, drinks are good, and the prices are reasonable.The only problem is the smoke. It was really heavy the night we visited. I guess all the smokers hang out there because they allow it. I tried to stay because I really love this place other than that. I guess it has been a lot of years with clean air and it is too hard to go back. It is disappointing.If you can tolerate smoke, this place is great. The owners should open another just like it for non-smokers. There are a lot more of us these days.

Fine local bar. Love the patio space, just wish theyd take the time to clean the outdoor tables regularly.

Really nice atmosphere

Went there with my friends for her birthday. Had fun but the smoke was horrible. The bartenders were nice. Music was ok not my scene but overall had fun with my friends.

Great place, lots of smoking though, so be careful if you have asthma

Great bar and live music. Awesome staff, and an excellent choice of beers wines, and liquors to choose from.

Such an awesome place.. cant wait to go back!!️️

Great bar, they have excellent drink deals during the weekdays and often have live music on the weekends. They tend to play more blue grass, rock and roll, and country music. This is not a club and not much dancing takes place here, instead the hummingbird focuses more on a good comfortable and fun bar atmosphere. Wednesdays are the best, they do 2 for one shooter deals and have karaoke, both basically guarantee a fun night out with friends.

Awesome atmosphere. Great staff. Great drinks. Hands down one of the coolest bars Ive ever been to

Smoky no masks no social distance

This place is awesome. Definitely unique compared to the other bars in downtown Macon. It doesnt attract a bunch of kids from what Ive seen, which is nice. Its more of an older crowd, maybe late 20s and up. A bit of a dive bar type atmosphere, but its cozy and not intimidating at all. The staff is really nice. They always have really awesome drink specials and dont skimp on alcohol in the drinks. The live music is always fun and upbeat. They are dog friendly! This place is always packed on the weekends but I never feel like I have to wait forever for a drink. Would definitely recommend The Bird for anyone visiting and looking for a good time.

The bar is great but karaoke sucks because the host isnt East old I know its not karaoke

First time here with my wife, great place. It is a bar with hard wood floors and the prices for the drinks are priced right. This is a place to stop and have a drink. The live bands are great, came here when Hill Country Revival played. Great time, I hope you enjoy the place and give it an honest try.Went back with some friends to just enjoy a place to drink and mess around.

It was okay the bartender was a good server and the announcement was loud and okay as well so I had a good time

Cultured venue with an expeditious staff and spontaneously entertaining time!!!

Always a great place to play and listen to music. Darts, great drinks, great people. Andrew Leidle is a great guy/talent buyer and their sound system and sound engineer is always super nice and helpful. I always have a great time when I’m here!

Played here with my band, Virginia Ground, and the stage and sound are fantastic!! So is the staff!! BEST spot in Macon, GA for Live Music and cold drinks!!

Ive always liked coming here for the live music and ambiance. I dont know if I will be returning. They were very unpleasant to my friend - he thinks it was because he is gay.

Nice people

Definitely will not be returning. Owner/manager is very rude and did respectful.

Down to earth, open to all, pretty chill. Moderate size.

My band played there last night and had a blast! Great sound, promoter, and bar staff. Cant wait to be back! 5 starz

Honestly theres plenty that could be improved here. Theres no reason it needs to have music blasting all the time hindering communication and tainting the atmosphere. This isnt a club. Other than that I dont really have many complaints at all.

Good bar but smoky not a plus for me

One of my fav Hangouts to grab a drink on the weekends! The outside bar is awesome!

Live music pbr on tap, perfect

This place has been home for a while. It’s smoky, divey and has hella cheap drinks. Expect a mess and have a good time.

Im not really a bar person, but they make great drinks here and often have good drink specials. The bartenders are very quick even when its busy and they dont play favorites like some lounges around here do (looking at you, Recess).Its majority white, but not unwelcoming to non-white visible minorities. (I have to add that, because this is still Mid GA and race relations seem to be about 40 years behind everywhere else.) That being said, I prefer lounges and different music, but if your taste leans toward live bands and rock music you may wanna check it out.They allow cigarette smoke inside and that can be irritating to the senses.

I had so much fun here. The jagerbombs were two for one. Obviously that led to some poor choices, but thats the consequences of drinking jagerbombs. Everyone was so friendly, and the bartender was quick with your drink order.

Awsome place. Awsome bartenders. Bird is the word.

Only giving 4 stars cause I hate smelling like an ashtray when I leave. Other than that, service is always smooth. I 100 percent of the time reach my objective in this place. Its pretty cool and the outside area is

The Hummingbird is a jewel of a place in Macons charming downtown. The vibe is kinda junkyard chic, but the place is clean and well cared for. A large courtyard with tables and benches out back hosts a secondary bar for those interested in being in a quieter spot than the main room and its stage. Smoking is allowed, free darts line an entire wall. Great selection of beer as well as mixed drinks.. Didnt notice any food, but we were there for the live music anyway. Met a lot of people so it seemed like a pretty friendly crowd. Got away with some cool band posters to add to my collection. I plan on going back next time Im in Macon.

I absolutely love the Bird! The Bartenders are amazing and extremely friendly. Always good conversations to be had and great drink specials. My dogs also enjoy going because they get to run around out back till 8pm!

Casual. Hip place for the younger crowd. Great live music

They need to expand to a bigger venue, but It loved the vibe

A real smoky, down to earth good old fashioned bar with a family (of barflies) atmosphere. Best bar in Macon!

The atmosphere was great but when I got to the bar,I noticed that the bartender would completely skip over me,and only waiting on the white customers,once he was done o had to signal to him that I wanted a drink, although I had been waiting with my money in hand to let him know Id like a drink. When I asked him was everything ok his response was, Im trying to make all the money i can as I was placing my order he walked away to other white customers and proceeded to take their order then returning back to me asking me oh what was it you wanted I ordered my friends drink and then I left. Apparently African Americans dont spend money!!!!! Ill NEVER go back to this place ever AGAIN!!!!!! So disrespectful and non professional service

Great place, great bands, great people. Ive never been disappointed. This place is often packed but the wait times on drinks are 1-2 minutes tops. All the staff are very friendly and they have the best drink prices in town. It can be standing room only and the atmosphere is still laid back. 10/10 will visit again.

Great drinks

Robert Lee Coleman was on . Great atmosphere

Had our first show at The Hummingbird last night. What an amazing place! From the moment we got there, there was nothing but love from all the staff and patrons. The vibes in that place are unbelievably warm and welcoming. And we cant wait to return! Dont miss out on checking this place out if you end up nearby!

Awesome jam session going on here.

Always have a good time when I go here. Karaoke night is the best!!

Fun placeGood crewLive music

Always great service here

Good atmosphere great food and drinks!

Fun atmosphere and good drinks. Can get pretty crowded on the weekends but week nights are great with good drink specials.

Great place to drink a few and throw some darts. Live music on the weekends, dance floor is a little small but good vibes in the place.

Nice neighborhood bar with mixed crowd and live music weekends and some during week

Great place to see some live music or have a couple brews.

Great atmosphere and staff have great attitudes! Looks like they enjoy their jobs!

Karaoke night.

Best part of this venue is the live music they bring to town.

Popular local dive bar. Wonderful people, great music and a wonderful back patio. They do allow smoking inside, so that may be a turn off for many people, myself included.

Cheap drinks and good atmosphere

Awesome laid back place

Always a good time when I come here. If there is a band, it will be extremely loud, so be prepared for that. Wednesday night karaoke is super fun. Cant beat the cheap PBR (I think it was $2 on draft). Would be 5 stars, but the smoking indoors is pretty awful. I fully support smokers rights, but it does get a little too much for me if Im there too long. Always have to immediately wash my clothes when I get home after an evening at The Bird.

This is the most chill place for a good drink and darts or cornhole. Ive been visiting The Bird for several years now and its never disappointed!!

The drinks are cheap but the bartenders dont listen when asked to play a song they just ignore you but when the regulars show up they play whatever they want

If you want to go to a bar thats loud and has nothing but a bunch of Frat Boys and sorority girls hanging around and nothing but generic bands playing then this is the place for you. It is everything panic attacks are made of for introverted people. Real Nightmare fuel. Its a college party wrapped thinly in a psuedo hipster shroud. Its as though someone tried to replicate the Jinx in Savannah but forgot what they were doing about 23 feet or so in. Its not my thing; but if youre into these things go right ahead.

Great location, huge selection of alcohol and friendly servers. PA system for the band was setup perfect and the decor really tied the room together.

Went for the concert great atmosphere.

Great place, from Florida, will come back again

Always great service and great atmosphere.

Simon is the best bartender

Still the most open minded, iconic establishment in Macon, GA.

Great drinks..great staff..great times

Awesome music, awesome people and awesome bartenders. What else could you want?

Great

Etc.. oh ves for entertainment

Only joint worth going to in middle Georgia! Great atmosphere, nice outdoor area, good service and prices. Ive caught some great shows here! Need more southern rock, funky, jam band type shows, after all we are home of The Allman Brothers Band. My go to place for a night on the town.

I was there Saturday night to see the Selwyn Birchwood band. The band is phenomenal, high energy and great blues!!! The place had a good crowd, friendly service and nice outdoor patio in back. I had a situation where a drunk customer started to touch me, I asked him TWICE not to and then I located an awesome employee who I explained the situation to and within one minute the security guard took this man out of the bar!! I was impressed by the speed of which they responded. The Hummingbird is a fun local place, I drove from Atlanta to see the band!! I would gladly return! And kudos and thanks to the awesome employee ( I did not get his name but he had a blue shirt and a man bun atop his head LOL!!!!

The Bird has a unique atmosphere and upbeat vibe. The food options were great and the beverage menu was exceptional.

This bar is home to a super-mixed crowd, so its easy to feel comfortable. Love it. Will definitely go back.

A very fun place !!

Nice environment, and friendly staff. Trivia night on weds is fun. Just wish they had more tables and chairs inside

The Hummingbird is my favorite bar in Macon. It has a great atmosphere, a surprising selection of beer and is definitely the best live venue in this area. Ask for the Black and Tan then finish off with a 420 while listening to live music in historic downtown Macon.

MIKE, COLE, JOHN. Some of the best bartenders in town. I never have any bad experience here!

Cool divey type bar. Cheap drinks. Good selection of liquor and beer

Besides the smoke (I am a non-smoker), it is a great atmosphere to meet up with friends. They also have great drink specials.
