JD is coming to Tuscaloosa!

TacomaJD · Jan 6, 2016

Me and a buddy are heading down Sat. Jan 23rd to see Breaking Benjamin Unplugged at Druid City Music Hall, checking that one off the bucket list.

Gonna head down early that day to pregame (drank a bunch of good beer) and got a hotel for that night. Gonna taxi into town and taxi back. What are some go-to spots for good food and beer? Preferably somewhat near Druid City Music Hall?

What about Druid City Brewing Co.? Worth going to?

I know a bunch of you fawkers live down there, which is why I posted here. I never been to Tuscaloosa aside from driving through it on the interstate multiple times.

I live in Tuscaloosa too!? I don't even know where the Druid city music or brewery is? I don't go out or do much though? You need to come out to my place and see it while your in town though!

Edit ok I looked it up it used to be Jupiter! Been there a few times basically you will be in the middle of the strip on the UA! Pleanty of bars right around it as well as places to eat.

Last time I down and stayed with my brother and met up with all the in towners we went to Druid City. It turned was more of a club than what you are thinking.

We ended up at Rhythm and Brews. I suggest go there and the surrounding bars near it.

We are just going to see Breaking Benjamin then explore the city a bit on both sides of the concert. I love Breaking Benjamin and am stoked that it's an unplugged concert.

They'll be plugged in, just all acoustic instruments either actually plugged in or with a mic set in front of it to pick up sound.

Here you go :dblthumb:

Josh, I may just have to get some tickets to this myself. I saw Sevendust do an acoustic set once & it was so damn good

City and Colour is playing at Iron City in the Ham the weekend before (16th), and I was gonna go to that one too, but I've already seen them and have not seen BB play, so I figured I'd save my money and just go to Tuscaloosa. Buddy booked us a suite at Spring Hill Suites.

Funny seeing everyone chug a beer in that vid except for Ben, glad he is sober now, although he wrote his best music imo while he was an alchy. Their early albums will always remain among my favorites.

Oh, I guess that is like sitting in the front row of a Greatful Dead show and Jerry blowing smoke on you then. Still a little weazy from that one. :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

TacomaJD · Jan 7, 2016

Haha Dead Head-Gregg! That noise is before my time, I couldn't name you a single GD song. And by GD, I mean Grateful Dead.... molaugh

Druid city brewing is a small dive but cool place because it was the first local brewery. I like the atmosphere at black warrior brewing a little better. For those that know Druid city music hall used to be the Jupiter.

TacomaJD · Jan 7, 2016

Re:

I was referred to Black Warrior Brewing as well, we may check that one out! I'm looking forward to kickin' it in T-town!

zukimaster · Jan 7, 2016

You should go check out Bryce when yall leave the clubs. :spin:

Juan_Hong_Loe · Jan 7, 2016

They might admit him!

TacomaJD · Jan 7, 2016

Lol I won't be dropping by the looney bin.

I wish Tuscaloosa had something like Toomer's trees, I'd be an Auburn Harvey Updike while I was down there.
