Watch the Iron Bowl at Birmingham breweries + bars
The Fennec
When I think of a jack-of-all-trades spot for music, parties and sports, I think of The Fennec. It only makes sense to spend your Iron Bowl Saturday there.
The Battery
The Battery has a full bar, lots of seating and a bunch of TVs across the restaurant, including on the patio. Settle in before the game and just keep the appetizers coming.
Cahaba Brewing Company
Speaking of TVs, Cahaba Brewing Co. has plenty of screens and seating perfect for any event—especially game day.
Good People Brewing Company
Good People, good football! This Parkside brewery will always have a crowd on game days, and you’ll want to be a part of it.
Back Forty Beer Company
Imagine this: You’re with your buddies, you have an ice-cold Truck Stop Honey in hand and the biggest college football rivalry is on the screen. Well, good news is, you don’t have to imagine it this Saturday.
Avondale Brewing Company
Avondale Brewing Company’s big screen sounds like the best place to watch Auburn and Alabama face off. Butttt we’ll never know until we try it out. See ya there?
It’s a fair bet every brewery across Greater Birmingham will have the game on their screens. Check out our full list!
