Mabel's Beauty Shop & Chainsaw Repair was a gay-friendly nightclub in Birmingham. It first opened in the early 1970s at 318 14th Street South, then, after a few years, moved to 3719 3rd Avenue South.
The bar's second location was divided into two spaces: The "Chainsaw Repair" side had a country-western theme while the "Beauty Shop" side was more urban.
The bar closed soon after an unsolved January 1989 robbery-murder in which bartender David Painter died from a bullet to the head and money was taken from the cash drawer.
