Overtime Grill & Bar | Our Story

Where neighbors become friends over great food

Where neighbors become friends over great food

Overtime Grill & Bar is Birmingham's neighborhood sports pub, with wings, cold beer, live music, and a dog-friendly patio in Lakeshore Village. Pull up a seat and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back.
A regular who became the owner

A regular who became the owner

Jon Hall spent 28+ years in missile engineering before retiring and moving to Birmingham. He became a regular and liked the place so much he bought it, becoming majority owner on May 1, 2021.
Not a hard decision

Not a hard decision

Jon met Co-Owner and Manager Alan Graves at Overtime, and when Alan floated the idea of a buyout, Jon did what engineers do: he researched it thoroughly. As he puts it, "Overtime has such character with great staff and customers, it really wasn't a hard decision for me."

Alan's warmth and humor have shaped Overtime's personality from the start — his goal is to know every guest by name and send them home having shared great food and good times. He and his wife Victoria keep that welcoming energy going every single shift.
Food that earns the trip

Food that earns the trip

The wings — bone-in or boneless, sauced and ready — are the thing guests talk about most, and the Mushroom Swiss Burger earns serious praise right alongside them. This is honest pub food done right, and it shows.
The vision, kept simple

The vision, kept simple

Jon's plan for Overtime hasn't changed: great food, ice-cold beer, and staff who are taken care of so they can focus on taking care of you. There's always a seat and something good on.
