Friday is the Birmingham night
More venues sing on a Friday than on any other night — seven, from Pelham to Margaret. In the city, Brown Derby and Bourbon Street Lounge open their weekends; in Hoover, Grey Bar sings with no cover and Barrister's is on its third night of four; out in Trussville, Velma's starts at 7.
Saturday is nearly as full, with Stir Crazy's 9pm start and The Dew Drop Inn in Margaret singing from 9 till close. The week thins from there. Thursday has Al's, Grey Bar, Barrister's, the Chandelier and the Alabama Owl in Bessemer. Sunday has only Al's, and Monday has nothing on our confirmed list at all.
The midweek problem
Tuesday and Wednesday are where Birmingham gets thin. The city's midweek option, Birmingham Daiquiris on 9th Street North, sings on those two nights only in the winter months. The rest of the year, the answer is in the suburbs.
The Chandelier Lounge in Pelham covers both nights from 6:30pm, the earliest start in the metro, and keeps going through Saturday. On a Wednesday, Barrister's Bar in Hoover opens its four-night run at 8.
