re: First Alabama Game — Need Insight

Don’t waste your time with Buffalo Phil’s if this is your first trip through, that place is garbage.

Dinner:
Depalma’s - Italian
Chuck’s Fish - great sushi, pizzas, fresh fish
Five - owned by same family as Chuck’s, much easier to get a table here. Burgers, fresh catch, good entrees all around
Baumhowers - Wings, Tuscaloosa staple. I’m not a huge fan, but to each their own

Lunch:
Rama Jama’s (breakfast all day too)
City Cafe - meat and 3
Archibald’s - best bbq in town, across the river in a shack

Boozing:
Houndstooth for a beer is a must
Downtown is a great area after a game like this, it’ll be busy but not uber packed.
Heat Pizza for a Thai Chicken pizza after an early game and before hitting the bars is a go-to

Other stuff to do:
Bryant Museum
Walk of Champions
Supe Store or Bama bookstore has plenty of Bammer gear and souvenirs

Someone else will have to speak on lodging, I’ve always either lived here or crashed with a buddy for the 10 or so years between college and moving back.
