Things To Do

One of our favorite places to go is Top Golf. We've celebrated a number of birthdays there, and sometimes even go on a Sunday morning date to golf! Monica loves to go to the Birmingham Zoo for her birthdays, which is right near the Botanical Gardens, which is a great free activity any time of the year. Birmingham also has a Dave & Buster's, Autobahn speedway & axe throwing, and a few Escape Rooms (another Hill birthday spot). A good kid-friendly spot is the McWane Center. Some of our favorite restaurants are Brick & Tin (you HAVE to get the brisket sandwich), Gianmarco's, Surin of Thailand, Fancy's on Fifth, Bogue's (Larry's favorite breakfast spot), El Barrio, La Paz (for the BEST queso), Saw's BBQ, and if you're in the mood for award-winning dinner head to Highlands Bar & Grill, Bottega, Chez Fonfon, or Hot & Hot. If you want a fun bar experience don't miss The Marble Ring, The Lumbar, The Atomic Lounge, or Paramount for a fun arcade feel (plus the burgers are pretty tasty, too).

We love the wine bar in the back, but you have to get there early to get a seat! The main restaurant has way more room, and the food is ALWAYS delicious!

Larry and I went here after dinner on our first date! Having trouble finding this "speakeasy"? It's above Fancy's on Fifth. You'll take the stairs to get up to Hot Diggity Dogs and then go in the phone booth to call and see if they have a table for you.

First date, first anniversary, and first place we went after getting engaged. Joey, an old friend from Monica's restaurant days and the owner, sent us glasses of champagne to celebrate! The burgers are great and their oysters are always awesome too. You can't really go wrong with anything here!

For all the days along the way
