I put this together the other day:

Hey guys, I thought I would try to put something together to help all the LSU fans planning on making the trip to Tuscaloosa for the game. I have always had a great time in Baton Rouge when I make the trip every other year and hope you have the same type of experience except for the outcome of the game of course. Here are some ideas for different things you might be looking to do (restaurants, bars, shopping, etc). These are all my personal favorites. Any other Bama fans with suggestions feel free to chime in.

FINE DINING (all are great):
-Ephihany's
-Evangeline's
-Kozy's
-Chuck's Fish
-Opus
-Cypress Inn

TUSCALOOSA FAVORITES:
-Nick's in the Sticks (excellent steak and get a Nicodemus!)
-5
-Dreamland
-Archibald's (better than dreamland IMO)
-Depalma's Italian
-The Bear Trap (rooftop restaurant that overlooks the Strip)

BREAKFAST:
-Waysider (get here early or plan on waiting a long time)
-Rama Jama's

BARS (there are two central locations for the bars in Tuscaloosa, downtown in Temmerson Square or on The Strip. This is just a rough list, there are others on the Strip and downtown that I am sure I am forgetting)

Downtown Bars:
-Catch 22
-Innisfree (probably my favorite bar downtown, great drinks and a TON of "scenery")
-4th and 23rd (always have a good band playing but can get really crowded)
-Carpe Vino (wine bar/upscale feel)
-Wilhagan's (good sports bar with lots of TV's. pool tables, etc)
-Rythym and Brews (older crowd but still a fun bar)

The Strip Bars (all within walking distance to UA campus):
-Gallettes (this is the Greek bar so there will be A LOT of "scenery" here both Friday and Saturday. be sure to get a Yellow Hammer!)
-The Houndstooth (voted the best college sports bar in the country, this is a fun place also. Probably a lot of LSU fans will be here)
-Egans (don't like this place. Always seemed to be the artsy, sketchy crowd)
-The Jupiter (the place for the big bands to play in Tuscaloosa. If there isn't a good band playing do not waste your time here)
-Rounders (the closest thing to a club you will find in Tuscaloosa)

SHOPPING:
University Mall (your typical indoor mall with all the name brand stores)
Midtown Village (brand new outdoor mall with a lot of new shops and restaurants)
The Tuscaloosa Galleria (upscale boutiques, fine dining, etc)

THINGS TO SEE:
-Walk around the UA campus (Quad, President's Mansion, Sorority Row, The Walk of Champions, Gorgas House, etc. It is truly a beautiful campus with many buildings dating back to pre-cival war)
-Manderson Landing Park (great place besides campus to take in a good run. It is a beautiful park right on the Black Warrior River)
-Ride around the city and take in the massive damage done to the city by the April 27th tornado.

I know this has been long but hope this helps. For parking info, etc. check out www.uagameday.com. Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer. RTR!
