Known as "The Magic City"
Birmingham’s dining scene is one to relish. A talented and energetic music community entertains in clubs and music venues all around the area.
Birmingham, Alabama, is known as the “Dinner Table of the South.” Head down to Ovenbird:
A different restaurant experience - refreshing, fun, delicious. The menu is mostly small plates to share all prepared over an open fire. No traditional cooktop in the restaurant. Nice wine list, kombucha, and cocktails. It’s gorgeous as well and the service is flawless.
