So line up a sitter now and let’s get one planned! Birmingham is full of exciting restaurants and hot spots – go see the city with your sweetie!

At a loss for where to go, what to do? Check out our suggestions – and don’t forget to add your own in the comment section!

Going All Out
How about drinks and dinner at 26, Daniel George or Hot and Hot Fish Club, followed by a cozy get-together at The Wine Loft. Is it hot in here?

Easy-going
Try this one – Drinks at Black Market Bar, dinner at the Village Tavern and then fun-fun-fun at Twist and Shout!

Going for cheap (but fun!)
How about an early dinner at Cantina then head on out to the drive-in! Oh yeah!

History and a Disney Movie.

In case you have gone all summer not knowing that you could see some of your favorite Disney classics on the big screen, we are here to tell you that not only can you see one of these gems that is tightly locked away in the Disney vault for the next how many ever years, but you can do it at the beautiful Alabama Theater.

Several Saturdays a month, throughout the summer the Historic Alabama Theater hosts a Children’s Matinee. 2pm, admission is $7 for adults and $6 for children under 12. Tickets go on sale 1 hour before showtime.

The summer may be almost over, but you still have a chance to catch a few of these movies, what a great way to spend a hot afternoon in the south. Start this Saturday with the Little Mermaid!

Be sure to check their calendar for upcoming movies, click here.
