The business of pleasure.

An explosion of retail space, hip new lofts, professional baseball and a slew of breweries, restaurants, coffee shops and bars have made downtown Birmingham a must-experience to everyone who comes here.

Shopping

Shopping downtown is all about the finds. Rare books, oddities and art work are all at your fingertips and ready to be enjoyed.

Nightlife

Even though the downtown workday might be ending at 5:00, that’s when the party scene is just getting started with cocktails, music and entertainment galore.

Food

True southern style with a good bit of local flavor is on full display among the many culinary offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hotels

Many of today’s hotels embrace the history of yesterday within renovated historic buildings featuring grand architecture and plenty of charm.

Attractions

We have hands-on learning opportunities, science, art and a variety of greenspaces all conveniently located within the downtown area.

Activities

Around here, it’s easy to catch a baseball game, rent some bikes to cruise the streets, or even see a fireworks display on a warm summer night.
