The Alabama Theatre has a very rich history here in Birmingham and has been a landmark since the…read more1920's. It is a beautiful and elegant venue that has been renovated over the years but kept its identity to its original state. I've attended several events here over the years, from concerts, to movies to guest speakers. My high school graduation was held here back in 1997. There are usually snacks such as popcorn available for purchase and beverages. I don't remember other food being available. The staff is always pleasant and ready to assist. Pro Tip: The seating on the lower level is much more comfy than upstairs, especially if you are hippy or curvy or just want more room. Buy your tickets keeping this in mind.

Great venue for a show or concert. There's plenty of street parking along with paid parking nearby…read more The venue offered snacks, cocktails and drinks. I'm not sure about prices, I didn't have any. I don't think any of the seats are bad for viewing the stage.i do think that they should invest funds into renovating or replacing the seats. The seats are short, low and small. They also do not have an elevator. Be prepared to climb many stairs if you don't purchase floor seats. They seemed to have improved the sound system, which really made the musical experience better. I thoroughly enjoyed Orchestra Noir and can't wait to see them again next year. I will definitely go back.

I highly recommend checking out some of the upcoming performances... you're in for a treat!

This makes for a great date night in Birmingham. It is a smaller venue, oozing with charm. The…read moreshows are always packed with talent and it's an all around hidden gem. One of my favorite things about it is the fact the shows don't start until 8 p.m. My husband and I get off of work at 5 p.m., so we have time to get ready, have a nice dinner out, and then enjoy the show without feeling rushed. It is conveniently located at Pepper Place, so there is an actual parking lot. I highly recommend checking out this place.

It might be a good idea for the people who own/manage this theater to quit smoking there. I feel quite certain it is them, as smoking is not allowed otherwise. While it may not prevent me from enjoying a future performance, if I had to make a decision between this and another play at another venue, I would opt for the other venue.

Spent $25 on two drinks. They have a $5 cash ($7 for card) Photo Booth that gives you literally no warning before taking your pictures and shining VERY bright lights before each pic.

The parade didn't have many participants this year but I can't speak for in the past.. The JO band was the highlight of the parade for me. I had a few Jell-O shots and accumulated a lot of Mardi Gras beards throughout the night. I guess you can say my first chicken parade was a success!

The room set aside for dining is great for most any type of hosting venue. Great sound system without any echos or distracting noises to interrupt a performance. I attended a disability fashion centered experience titled "Every Body Blooms." Sponsored by NCHPAD, UAB Arts In Medicine. This was such a beautiful fashion show showcasing the confidence of the models and their creativity in fashion. One model remarked that "When you look good, you feel good." I would encourage everyone to follow NCHPAD to learn more about the disabled community and how they adapt to the abled body society. Again, this is a wonderful venue. I'll be back for other shows and performances.

Highly recommend attending a show here if you get the opportunity. Parking was tough since I was running late but that was to be expected. Locating street parking is NEVER fun or easy! I ended up parking in a student lot ... no problems since the event was on a Sunday. My car wasn't towed! Ha! This was a great event and I'm so glad Eric Benet spent his birthday with us here in Birmingham, AL!!!! FUN NIGHT!!!!!!

In all honesty the credit for that goes to our hosts who were most gracious to have us come and celebrate their daughter's nuptials. Onto the review. The buffet was good. The bartenders understood the task at hand with an all knowing wink indicating they'll do it, but it's a bad idea. As to the ambiance, as is well known, you can't beat the view.

I had lunch yesterday. The service and the view were outstanding…read more The food... well... needs some work. The arancini appetizer special was good though. I had the corn and green tomato soup (not pictured). I thought it would look and taste differently. It was a broth base, and I assumed it was going to be more or a bisque or puréed vegetable base. It did not look appetizing at all. The tortilla strips served on the side should be left off the plate because they aren't good and add no value to the dish. I was craving a steak and the kitchen graciously not only gave my options (flank vs. petite filet) but agreed to make it. However, I wish they had said "no" and said they couldn't do it. It was extremely underwhelming. I had to send it back because the first dish was gray and overcooked for medium rare. The set-up on the plate was fine (succotash and gnocchi), but I hated that there was little color contrast with the yellow pea shoots as a garnish. It definitely took away from the overall presentation of the dish. There were other issues with the temps of the food st my table as well. It appears that there's fundamental difficulty in cooking at either end of the spectrums but they do a great job at medium. Overall, great service, great view...food- completely underwhelming and glad I didn't have to pay for it.
