Alabama Theatre

This has been called by some "the most beautiful building in Alabama." The 1927 building has been lovingly restored. This means that to visit the restrooms, you must trek down the stairs to the basement. The theatre has no dedicated parking, so prepare to park on the street or in a pay lot or garage. Food options nearby improved recently with the opening of the Pizitz Food Hall a couple of blocks away.

The team at Alabama Theatre Event Hall were absolutely suburb to work with. They made my friends wedding day extra special with details of their own that we didn't even consider. They were professional, friendly, flexible, helpful, and very nice. From the security staff, the bar staff, and the house manager, everyone was awesome. Thanks so much!!! I truly recommend everyone to have their event here.

Other than John Travolta's team of crybabies, (he was filming part of a movie in the rain. In front of the Theater.) Complaining about the dance team's, & family and friends there to watch & participate in "The National Dance off." Where I might add, one team danced to two Grease song's that John sang. Rather than complain, why not jump on stage and dance with the kids? Would have brought the house down! Rather, everyone wants to know the name of the movie so they don't waste their money to go watch it. Sorry John, Travolta's assistance. Maybe you shouldn't be complaining about the Southern people who don't know when to get out of the way. When you are surrounded by them! The theater is spectacular. Definitely has been kept to the theme of the time period it was built. Very nice to see, once.

There’s no place like the Alabama Theatre! It truly is “the showplace of the south!” This gorgeous, historic theatre has been completely restored to the glory of its heyday. The theatre itself is spacious with tiered balconies to accommodate a large audience. They have special events - concerts, weddings, etc, in addition to a classic film series, Christmas movie season, and much more. The theatre’s 17th street sign (original to the building and removed in 1957) was recently replaced, making it even more spectacular. Concessions are inexpensive and classic, along with a bar offering mixed drinks. The opulence of this place is something that’s rare to see in today’s modern age, a throwback to stylish luxury. Visiting is a real treat, and I do so often. You’ll also find plenty of lots and street parking when you come, but do arrive early and buy tickets well before any event or movie as they sell out fast!
