Surf Hound: A Taste of the Coast
One of the most talked-about openings is Surf Hound, a restaurant inspired by the surf culture of the 1960s and 70s. Located downtown, this new venture is the brainchild of chef Abhi Sainju, who is also known for his successful eateries, Abhi Eatery + Bar and Maro. The menu at Surf Hound features classic favorites like burgers and fries, alongside a selection of fresh-caught fish that elevate the coastal dining experience. To accompany the meal, patrons can indulge in a variety of delicious cocktails designed to evoke a feeling of being right by the sea.
Bandido Coffee: A New Spot for Java Lovers
In the heart of Birmingham, local entrepreneur Raul Chavez has launched Bandido Coffee, making it a perfect spot for coffee enthusiasts. Situated in the former home of Panache by Domestique Coffee, Bandido offers beverages with roots in Latin culture, including refreshing horchata and agua fresca. This cozy café aims to be a community hub where friends can gather over their favorite drinks.
The Marble Ring Expands Its Offerings
Another exciting development is the addition of a food menu at The Marble Ring, Avondale’s popular speakeasy-style bar. The owners, known for their successful ventures Umami and Nori, are now bringing a fusion of modern Asian cuisine to this top-secret club. With its classy ambiance and a range of handcrafted cocktails, guests can expect a unique dining experience that marries Asian flavors in a stylish setting.
Provision Studio Expands to Pepper Place
In the realm of fitness, Homewood’s beloved Provision Studio is preparing to launch its second location in Pepper Place. This studio offers a range of low-impact exercise options—including Pilates, weights, and cardio—tailored for both small groups and individual attendees. With skilled instructors at the helm, this expansion is sure to attract health-minded individuals looking to enhance their fitness regimens.
Urban Hai: Soon-to-Open Authentic Chinese Cuisine
Finally, food fans can look forward to the arrival of Urban Hai, an authentic Chinese restaurant from Atlanta that is set to open in downtown Homewood later this year. Known for their traditional dishes and Szechuan-style offerings, chef Hai Wang and restaurateur Gary Lin are eager to bring their first Urban Hai to Birmingham’s Parkside neighborhood, specifically in the Denham Building near Railroad Park.
