10 Bars & Clubs in Birmingham That You Shouldn't Miss

December 4, 2021 Misti Hsu

It has been said that Birmingham is the last major Southern city in America, where a friendly "How y'all doin'," a hearty meal of country-fried steak with butter beans and a true taste of Southern hospitality await visitors. Whether you're into the history of the Civil Rights movement, a fan of jazz music or just looking for culture and a few fun activities for the family, Sweet Birmingham is the place for you. Spend the morning at the Birmingham Museum of Art, then have lunch at a traditional Southern tea room. Outdoor enthusiasts can tee off at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail or pack a lunch and spend the day hiking and enjoying the vistas at Ruffner Mountain. A world-class zoo, the innovative McWane Center and VisionLand, Alabama's first amusement park, are sure to keep families entertained and on the go. In the evening, listen to a blues show at an outdoor cafe and then spend the night at a small cozy inn or splurge for an elegant hotel.

The Atomic Lounge

Reviewed By Khushboo_Golyan - Birmingham, United States

An unusual jovial joint perfect for a night out with friends. Their cocktails were enticing and the place in itself was wacky yet super cool. The bar provides many board games for a super fun night and one can even try on their selection of quirky costumes while you are there.

The Collins Bar

Reviewed By impudicus84 - Birmingham, United States

Not every bar serves good drinks, and even fewer have good service. The Collins bar manages to do both well. This is a bar to go to socialize and not listen to blaring music that prohibits conversation. This is a bar where if you liked the excellent Manhattan The bartender prepared, take his advice on the next drink and try something new. You won’t be disappointed!

Saturn

Reviewed By jasonk897 - Montgomery, United States

Club/bar by night, this place cleans up, quiets down, and welcomes the kids of all ages through their bright orange doors. Weekends have the big room transformed into a very casual hangout for soccer fans, with premier league on the big screen, and for a voluntary donation to a charity, an all-you-can eat breakfast cereal bar. Choose from your childhood favorites, or a few adult (boring) varieties, and if you must, enjoy the option of almond milk in addition to the other, actual milk varieties. Decor in the joint is awesome, there’s a giant shelf full of board games and vi rage video games and pinball machines throughout the place. Full coffee and tea bar, with light breakfast foods (pastries) for sale—a great place to rest your heels (or your hungover head) on a Sunday morning!
