Plan your bachelorette weekend in Birmingham: Brunch spots, spas + more
Reading time: 4 minutes
Whether you’re the bride-to-be or part of the bridal party, the perfect bachelorette party involves a lot of planning and effort. And for good reason, too—you and your girls deserve only the best.
If you find yourself in Birmingham for a bach weekend, welcome! I rounded up a few ways to spend your bachelorette weekend in Birmingham.
Friday night: Start the weekend with Birmingham Pedal Tours
Cruising through The Magic City on a 14-passenger “pub cycle” with a sound system… sounds like a perfect bachelorette night to me.
You pick three bars for the pedal-powered party bus to roll through, and the rest of the night is in your hands!
I see the Birmingham Pedal Tours when I’m out on the town, and I get a hint of FOMO every time.
- Tours + prices:
- Private tours (up to 14 passengers): Sunday-Thursday, $349 | Friday-Saturday, $379
- 6-person bike tour: Daily, $199
- Reach out to sales@birminghampedaltours.com to schedule your tour.
Saturday morning: Shop local at The Market at Pepper Place
The Market at Pepper Place is my go-to spot when I have friends in town.
Start your morning with a stroll through tents selling fresh produce, art, clothes and more—all Alabama-made! The market happens every Saturday February-December, rain or shine.
- Location: 2829 2nd Ave S, Birmingham, AL 35233
- Hours: Saturdays, 7AM-Noon
Saturday afternoon: Relax at the spa
After the farmers’ market and in preparation for Saturday night (keep reading), an afternoon at the spa is just the thing you and your girls need.
For spas, facials and all of the above, here are a few local spas we love:
- Cahaba Dermatology
- Mockingbird Day Spa
- The Spa at Ross Bridge
- Total on 1st
- Escape Day Spa
Saturday night: Hit the town for dinner + drinks
Lucky for us, Birmingham is never short of amazing dining and bar options.
If you head downtown for your bachelorette night, you’ll find multiple bars and restaurants on every street.
To make things easier, we made a few dinner and drink pairings for your GNO:
- Bamboo on 2nd + House of Found Objects
- The Essential + Adiõs
- Cayo Coco + Pilcrow
- Armour House + Pogo
- Wooden City + Paper Doll POP
- Automatic Seafood and Oysters + Mayawell
- Current Charcoal Grill + The Fennec
BONUS: End the night with karaoke at Neon Moon or Hold Your Horses.
Sunday morning: Rejuvenate at brunch with the girls
And now, to close out your already-perfect bachelorette weekend in Birmingham: mimosas with the girls.
Much like the bars and restaurants, it’s impossible to choose our favorite Magic City brunch. So I’ll let you choose!
Here’s a roundup of some of your favorite brunch spots. Plus, here are a few more options from us at Bham Now.
