Birmingham/Hoover recs - restaurant and bottleshop

Staying in Hoover for work.
First off, is Hop City my best bottleshop bet? Is there anything in Hoover worth visiting?
Also need dinner for tomorrow night. Been 7 years since I've spent meaningful time in B'ham, so I'm lost on the restaurant scene now. Willing to shoot up to Birmingham for a transcendent meal, but if all things are equal a rec in Hoover is preferred. Type of restaurant being hip, inventive, upbeat. Going to be with some other guys from work, so if there is a "Tuesday hot spot" would like to know about that also.

"Birmingham" is where it's at. Pick a scene: Avondale, Lakeview or 5 Points.

Hop City is the best bottleshop. J Clyde is a bar with a great beer selection. All of the breweries (Good People, Avondale, Trim Tab, etc) are great places to relax with a drink.
For a meal, it depends how you want to go. Highalnds Bar and Grill is the most famous restaurant. It's more casual side, Chez Fon Fon, is really great and has possibly the best burger in town. Here are a few other choices:
Carrigan's - downtown with a rooftop bar and inventive bar food (great burger)
El Barrio - hip Mexican place downtown
Gianmarco's - great local Italian place in Homewood, has a wine bar
Bettola - hip Italian place in the Pepper Place area
Slice - probably the best pizza in town, Lakeview area
Hotbox at Parkside - a trailer serving Asian street food in the back yard of a bar (a converted house). Really cool place for a late night snack
Flip - best burgers in town. At the Summit
Birmingham has an exceptional restaurant scene. I could name a lot more places if there is a certain type of food you are looking for. I don't know any great places in Hoover.

Where'd you end up going, OP?

Also wondering what and where y'all picked, OP.
After scrolling through today's news, I was at first concerned about my enthusiasm to send you up to Birmingham -- Underage drinkin' and packin' -- but it appears the mayhem also visited beautiful Hoover -- 13 yr olds bringing BB Gun heat.
Enjoy our food, but keep your head on a swivel.
