| Breathing easy at Shelby's in Pelham! |
My younger birthday parties would have themes like Barbie, Cinderella, and spend-the-night fun, but now that I am in my twenties my parties have taken on different themes. This year's theme being SMOKE-FREE! While I love going out, dancing, listening to music, etc., a fun night on the town can be easily ruined by having to inhale a bunch of smoke. Usually in the summer you have the choice of being outside, which helps with the air quality. Sadly, when it is in the 30's outside, you don't have that option. Therefore, being born in February, I decided to choose some of my favorite smoke-free spots at which to celebrate my 27th birthday. Is this a sign of maturity? I think so! Let's face it, I don't clean with vinegar and baking soda and use aluminum-free deodorant during the week just to fill my body with carcinogens on the weekend!
Here is a list of some of Birmingham's smoke-free facilities for a night out that does not require a shower before you climb into bed!
Birmingham's Best for Smoke-free Entertainment:
Bottletree—There may be some weird stuff going on here, but you won’t find anyone flicking their Bic.
Comedy Club Stardome: I laugh much harder now that I know my favorite comedians are working in a safe environment!
Grey Bar—Excellent outdoor seating & no smoking inside either!
Shelby's –Another home run from the Grey Bar owners, who know what works…smoke-free facilities & clean bathrooms!
Birmingham's Worst Offenders:
Back 9—More like “I’ve had to go BACK to the doctor NINE times because there’s tar in my lungs!”
Starz Karaoke--Because the smoke really damages my singing ability. Yeah, THAT'S why I sound terrible...--
Barrister’s Tavern—You can pretty much smell the smoke from 31.
Fox and the Hound—This place is just not cool enough to warrant fumigating my purse after a visit.
Anti-lamers, we want to know what spots you hit when you want to breathe easy! Also, please give us a heads-up of the spots in Birmingham where we need to bring along our oxygen tank!
