Iron City

Iron City keeps things simple: a theatre doing its own thing in Birmingham, a short walk from University of Alabama at Birmingham. Owned and run locally, not by a chain headquartered somewhere else entirely. College towns like Birmingham depend on independently owned music and nightlife venues like this one to keep their main streets interesting. Cover charges, showtimes, and crowd all vary night to night around Birmingham. Nothing fancy, just a solid option next time you want a night out near University of Alabama at Birmingham. Worth checking the calendar if you're building a list of Birmingham favorites.
