Avondale, Woodlawn & Crestwood

The Avondale, Woodlawn, and Crestwood neighborhoods are so close to the city center, you can almost reach out and touch it. And yet they feel like a world away. There’s a laid-back vibe to these sister 'hoods that sets them apart — the perfect blend of urb and suburb. Some mark them as ground zero for the Magic City’s recent renaissance, and much of what’s going on here frequently lands Birmingham on the national stage. Jam-packed with great places to grab a bite or a beer, catch a gig by local and national touring bands, and shop! New and used vinyl, funky antiques and furniture, vintage clothes, art and objets d’art can all be found a hop, skip, or five-minute car ride away. Slowing down more your speed? There’s family-friendly parks a plenty, coffee shops, and even a speakeasy-style bar to wet your whistle.

Offering creative takes on classic pub-grub as well as small-batch, house-crafted spirits and beer, Common House’s warm, rustic space with laid-back vibes is the perfect place to lunch with work compadres, fuel up before a show at Saturn, have a family night out with the kiddos (or a date night without them), or grab a beer and chill. From apps (Sticky Bourbon Maple Wings, Loaded Totchos, Fried Green Tomatoes) to bowls and salads (Salmon Poké Bowl, Grilled Peach Arugula Salad) to sandwiches (Chimichurri Steak Sandwich, Common Burger) to entrées (Slow-braised Beef Cheeks, Shrimp and Grits), the menu is as wonderfully varied as it is scrumptious. There’s also vegan-friendly options (Jackfruit Carnitas Bowl, Buffalo Cauliflower Po’boy) every bit as inventive as anything else on the menu. Even the shareable desserts (S’mores Pot de Crème anyone?) are vegan-friendly. They also do a Sunday Brunch with live music, and a Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar.
