They have $2 off all draft beers and glasses of wine for happy hour. The owner informed me that they also get a lot of limited edition beers. I actually had one. It was a very fruit forward IPA that was delicious! I also had a light lager for easy porch/patio drinking! Lol I really enjoyed my time here. This is a spot I use to frequent but not as much now'. With all the additions to the space , I plan to come here more often in the future.

The Sonnet House is as good as it gets! I grew up in Birmingham but have been living elsewhere for…read moreyears. We planned the entire wedding from out of town. The Sonnet House made the entire process a BREEZE. If you know exactly what style/design you're hoping for, their team can make it happen. If you have no idea what you're hoping for, they will ask all the right questions to ensure your wedding fits you perfectly. Ellen and Jared make sure all the logistics and details are perfect, and Corey is an amazing florist! I always hear about horror stories the week leading up to someone's wedding about stress, anxiety, etc. regarding last minute details. They made the whole experience not only stress-free, but FUN! We were all able to savor time with family and friends without worrying about details. The Sonnet House provides you with an amazing venue in Birmingham, excellent food, beautiful florals, and an in-house coordinator. It is WORTH IT! They did such an amazing job that we would recommend this venue to anyone. Also, you couldn't ask for better people to work with for such a special event. They are the most hard working, flexible, professional, creative, and kind people. I hope to maintain friendships with them! Book your wedding with them! You'll be so glad you did! My parents said it was the best decision we made in terms of wedding planning and decisions. THE SONNET HOUSE IS THE BEST!!!!

I was invited to the grand opening of this business and I'm super glad I went! This type of…read morebusiness is truly made for a person like me who loves to take pictures. This is a selfie museum. They are so many different rooms and staged displays for you to snap pictures and videos. My kids loved the upside down room. My husband and I enjoyed the throne room. Actually, we truly loved it all! There are so many colors and textures. It is something you have to experience. Even with the Coronavirus on the loose, we still felt very safe. The exhibits are appropriately spaced and there are so many of them so it is easy to social distance. Masks are required when you're not taking a picture. There's hand sanitizer available and they limit the number of people allowed in the venue. Of course, they also clean the rooms and props. I foresee a lot of photo shoots and parties being done here. I talked with some of the people in charge and they said the rooms will change monthly so that dope! It's an ever changing experience so you will want to come back again and again!

Here we go! Review #300! And keeping with my centennial theme (#100 was Review of Georgia Tech -…read more#200 was Review of Bobby Dodd Stadium), you're probably wondering how this museum relates? And if you weren't, don't worry - I'll tell you below. The Birmingham Georgia Tech Alumni Association held their annual banquet at this museum last month. Not being from the Birmingham area, I had no idea that this place existed! What a great venue for events, while also showcasing Birmingham Water Works from its earliest days.Use of the museum is for business and civic orgs only.... so no wedding receptions or private parties. AV and other technologies are also available for use. Not sure on the cost to rent, but given that the Alumni Assc. has a limited budget, I'm sure we didn't spend too much on renting the space. Stop by and view this venue if you're looking for a unique spot to hold your next meeting or event!

Truthfully speaking, I've never been inside the larger museum room and am not exactly sure what all it entails. This review is specific to this building being used as a party/event venue. I've been on 3 separate occasions now (2 holiday parties and a baby shower) and have always had a good time. You can setup the room however you'd like with tables, chairs, microphone, speakers etc. There's also kitchen space and easily accessible restrooms to take advantage of. On this same side of the building where parties can be hosted, there's also a little bit of interactive museum stuff... fun!! Some cool pictures and historical information displays can be found throughout this room as well! Brick walls, high open ceilings and all the rustic decor makes this place feel unique, authentic and like any other event venue that you'll find in Birmingham (that I know of).

A hidden treasure to the Birmingham area!…read more Grand River Drive-In was an absolute dive. I was not expecting any of the swoon that we experienced, and can't wait to revisit in the fall! We went on a Saturday night for the first showing, at 2030. All guests were courteous and respectful. Many had lawn chairs and blankets that they utilized around their parked car. The Snack Shack is lacking in options, but fortunately there is an eatery attached to the outlet that is not any farther walk than the Snack Shack. Restrooms are also located near the eatery. Rules state that outside food and drink are prohibited, but I don't think anyone would approach you over it, after all, you are in your own, personal, vehicle. A wonderful drive-in experience! 06-14-2025
