Tamp’s Lashes & Thangs

Every city has a Cheers-style bar, and in Birmingham, it's Lou's Pub & Package Store. This local favorite finds people from all walks of life gathering around the bar and enjoying a few beverages while talking about their day. Patio seating is available, and in addition to featuring an impressively stocked bar, Lou's is also famous for its fine homemade cigars. This haunt has been a part of the area's nightlife since 1987, so make sure to take the time to stop in!

The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is one of the most historically significant sites from the Civil Rights Movement. This is where four young girls lost their lives when the church was the subject of a bomb attack. That horrific event was a pivotal occurrence in the quest for equal rights for all citizens. The fact that it occurred in this particular church only underscores the importance of forgiveness and love despite overwhelming adversities. The congregation is one of the most spirited you will ever encounter, and the sanctuary is a true work of art. If you would like a tour of this historic attraction, please call ahead to make the necessary arrangements.

Just because something has been gently used doesn't mean it isn't stylish or appealing. That's what makes a visit to Second Hand Rose so much fun. This is the area's oldest designer consignment boutique. Whether you are looking to update your wardrobe for work, want to add a few items to help create a new look, or just want to update your already stylish taste, this is the place to do it without obliterating your budget. And since Secondhand Rose is always consigning new arrivals all the time, the inventory is always changing which means it pays to regularly come in and browse!
