Things To Do
Dreamland BBQ
There are lots of legends in Tuscaloosa and this one has been around a long time. There's nothing like the original location.
Downtown Tuscaloosa | Temerson Square
The center of nightlife and good eats in Tuscaloosa. The heart of downtown is at the corner of University Blvd and Greensboro Avenue.
Live at The Plaza | Free Summer Concerts
During the summer, the city hosts free concerts every Friday night at Government Plaza in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Urban Bar & Kitchen
Locally owned. It's a gem.
Tuscaloosa River Walk
The River Walk is about 4 miles long and the views are great! Lily loves to run there. Check out the sculpture at Manderson Landing. Fun fact: Lily's sister used to teach art classes at the artist's studio.
Heritage House Coffee and Tea
Heritage House is a local favorite. The Riverfront location is in a great spot downtown.
The University of Alabama Campus
You can't visit Tuscaloosa without seeing the University of Alabama campus. RTR.
Paul W. Bryant Museum
It's definitely worth the time, especially for football fans.
Bryant-Denny Stadium
Check out the Walk of Champions at Bryant Denny Stadium. RTR!
The Randall Welcome Center at UA
The brand new Randall Welcome Center is located in the former state mental hospital that was located next to the UA campus. There is lots of history there in addition to all things Bama.
Rama Jama’s
A UA game day tradition. It's located right next to Bryant-Denny stadium.
The Strip
Although it looks much different than it did when Lily's parents went to UA, The Strip is adjacent to the University of Alabama campus and originates right next to Bryant-Denny stadium. Strange Brew Coffeehouse and Insomnia Cookies are a favorite there.
PopStroke
Tiger Woods brought Popstroke to Tuscaloosa. Fun fact. It's down the street from University Church where Lily grew up.
Tuscaloosa Midtown Village
If you like to shop!
ROLF'S
Rolf's is locally owned by a Tanski family friend. If you go for brunch, definitely check out the lemon belgium waffle and you can't go wrong with any of their pretzels.
