Birmingham is widely known as the “Dinner Table of the South.” Defining highlights these days are connected to a flourishing food scene. From James Beard culinary award winners to the world’s best barbecue, the city’s food culture has attracted national attention among those in the know. Birmingham breweries are producing craft beers that connoisseurs are clamoring for. Other local watering holes are full of fun and character, some even with their own James Beard nominations. Live theater and musical performances fill the entertainment schedule, especially in Birmingham’s Theater District. The historic MERIPOLART

BIRMINGHAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING OF A PLACE APART. Compared with many of its southeastern counterparts, this is a young city, springing from gutsy beginnings in the iron and steel industry and evolving into a major medical center in the U.S.

Welcome to the Dinner Table of the South

Though Birmingham is Alabama’s largest city, it has retained inviting Southern traditions and a sense of counting family and friends important, not population statistics.

Alabama and Lyric Theatres are meticulously restored for performances, and, across the street, the Sidewalk Cinema is in full swing with arthouse and independent ﬁlms. International visitation is on the increase in Birmingham. Shopping in the state’s retail giant is a big draw, along with attractions such as Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. There, tourists from around the globe ﬁnd the world’s largest collection of antique and contemporary motorcycles and Lotus cars. It’s a banquet for bike enthusiasts and a feast for the eyes for everyone.

An American revolution took place in the streets of Birmingham in the 1960s. The city was Ground Zero for the Civil Rights Movement, with police dogs and water cannon on one side and non-violence and the certainty of a better tomorrow on the other. Today, the Civil Rights District is a national monument, with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute serving as the focal point. Golfers come from around the country to enjoy the moderate weather and to play the city’s courses along the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. And all skill levels love the challenge and entertainment they ﬁnd at TopgolfBirminghamBirmingham.visitors ﬁnd a city that embraces the freedom of self-expression and the vigor of progress. Enjoy your time here and come back to see us again soon.

Located in Birmingham’s burgeoning Parkside District, Good People has some of the highest rated beers in the Southeast. And with interesting names. Jim advises trying Snake Handler or The Bearded Lady.

Jump into this spacious taproom named for the Cahaba River that ﬂows nearby. The brewery is open seven days a week for your thirst-quenching pleasure. With more than 26 taps, this is one of Birmingham’s favorite gathering spots, serving up staples like Blonde, Oka Uba, Pale Ale, and Lager.

CAHABA BREWING COMPANY 4500 5th Avenue S, cahababrewing.comBirmingham

IF YOU TAKE A NOTION to try some local brews, this trail’s for you. Travel along with your imaginary host, Jammin’ Jim, to some of his favorite taprooms and watering holes. Jim loves nothing more than a cold snort of craft beer. Come follow his trail. And remember to Uber when you drink. It’s the smart and safe thing to do.

With more than 20 years of brewing expertise, the brewers here are dedicated to creating better and bolder beer. While keeping up with beer trends, they also strive to produce unusual brews that keep Jim and other patrons returning time and again.

TRIM TAB COMPANYBREWING 2721 5th Avenue S, trimtabbrewing.comBirmingham

Jim says there’s no need to fear. Blondes, ciders, hoppy, darks and more are on the menu at Ghost Train. For those looking for something other than beer, the brewery also serves margaritas and other cocktails to tempt taste buds.

2616 3rd Avenue S & 3501 1st Avenue S, ghosttrainbrewing.comBirmingham

Voted among the country’s best breweries by Thrillist and Forbes, this small craft operation serves up big taste. Their Tasting Gallery also serves as a music venue and an art gallery for local artists. Jim’s tab here is seldom trim.

Interesting beers are brewed in-house with additional rotating guest taps. They also have a good menu of pub foods. What Jim likes is their beer served up alongside pinball, billiards, foosball, and board games.

Jim loves the beer descriptions here—especially the Left on 11 Double IPA, said to calm your road rage. He also recommends the Q’s Moneypenny, an English style pub ale, low hop bitterness, low ABV, very malt forward.

MONDAY NIGHT BREWING 14 12th Street S, Birmingham mondaynightbrewing.com Monday Night Social Club serves more than 25 brews on tap, including house-made beers, small batch IPAs, barrel-aged and sour beers, and guest taps from other local breweries. Had your ﬁll of beer? They also have a full bar with wine and cocktails. Jim goes there for the Fast & Furious references.

It’s well worth it to venture out from the city to the community of Trussville to explore this brewpub and restaurant. As their name suggests, they take pride in their wild and unusual sour beers, along with crisp pilsners, ﬂavored stouts, and barrel aged beers. Jim likes to hop forward with their IPAs.
