Reading time: 4 minutes
Here is a bit of trivia.
Since 2009, a Division I team from the state of Alabama has appeared in the College Football National Championship Game 9 of the last 10 years.
No state in the nation comes close to that record.
We love our college football in Alabama. Kickoff for the 2019 season is literally hours away on Thursday, with Birmingham’s UAB Blazers taking on Alabama State University. Besides attending the games, Bham Now wanted to provide our readers with a guide to some of the best places to watch college football games this week and throughout the season
Here is our list.
Places to Watch College Football in the Birmingham Area
One quick disclaimer. This is just a sampling of some of our favorite places. Please let us know who we missed by making a comment in the comment sections on our social media channels.
Iron City Grill
When UAB Football was disbanded a few years ago, the one local establishment that helped lead the Save UAB Football movement was Iron City. Today, Iron City is the Official UAB Watch Party site for all the big games.
Be on the lookout the UAB watch parties this 2019 season and don’t miss the Bama and Auburn games – Especially, of course – the Iron Bowl at Iron City.
Located at 513 22nd Street South Birmingham, Al 35233
ROJO
Looking for a place to watch Auburn & Alabama games in the Highland Park area? Check out ROJO. This weekend they will be showing the games against Duke and Oregon in their Main Room. It is a great place to gather around and watch a game. Like a big living room.
Avondale Brewing Company
Want to tailgate on Saturday, August 31st? Avondale Brewing is setting up an all day special tailgating watch party and they are giving you options from having it catered, securing a tent or just coming to hangout and drink beer. Check out this great “kickoff” event.
Paramount
Who doesn’t like pinball and football? It’s the perfect combination. If your team is losing, what better way to let out your anger. If they are winning, what better way to celebrate!
Located at 200 20th Street North Birmingham, Al 35205
Sky Castle
If you love football of all kinds – college and the NFL – Sky Castle in the Lakeview District is the place to be. As you can see from last week’s Facebook post about the Florida-Miami game, Sky Castle also offers great drink specials too.
Located at 2808 7th Ave. South, Birmingham, AL 35233
SLEEK
Don’t let the construction around SLEEK hinder you from making it down 5 Points South to see Bama take on the Blue Devils and Auburn against the Ducks. Opponents are welcome. Last year, the Oklahoma Alumni held their Alabama-Oklahoma Semi-final Watch Party at SLEEK.
Located at 1005 20th Street South Birmingham, Al 35205
