Things To Do
El Barrio Restaurante Y Bar
Our favorite spot for a date or a night out with friends! We hear they serve a killer brunch on Saturdays, too. Morgan's Favorite: Beef Barbacoa Quesadilla Taylor's Favorite: Grilled Chorizo Meatloaf No Questions Asked: Chunky Guacamole, Queso Fundido, El Barrio Margarita
The Collins Bar
Just down the block from El Barrio, we love to grab a drink here while we wait to be seated. The catch: there is no menu! Just tell the bartender what you like and he'll make you a cocktail personalized to your taste. Once you've got your drink, grab a seat and play a game! Tip: Leave your ID with the bartender to get a deck of Cards Against Humanity cards.
True40 Birmingham
Interested in a workout while in town? This is Morgan's top choice for exercise in Birmingham! Book a class to "shake, sweat, and burn" with the ladies of True40 - a fusion of barre, yoga, pilates, TRX, and body-weight training.
Renaissance Records
Taylor's most recent purchase: Hot Rocks 1964-1971 by The Rolling Stones This is a unique place to kill some time and find great music. With a knowledgeable staff and a variety of vinyl to choose from, you'll definitely walk away with something new to add your collection.
Alabama Theatre
During the Chrismas season, the Alabama Theatre hosts its holiday film series. They show everything from White Christmas to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It is a definite favorite for locals, so be sure to snag tickets ahead of time!
