Birmingham’s historic Lakeview District has served as a suburban hub and entertainment district for the city since the late 1800’s. Today, it is a bustling development for business and retail, making it an obvious choice for Babalu Tapas & Tacos. Open since 2014, unique design elements – such as the hanging pallet ceiling, reclaimed wood walls, and roll-up garage doors in the dining room — make the restaurant feel as if it has called Birmingham home for much longer. Babalu Birmingham is a great place to stop in for lunch after perusing the Market at Pepper Place or for drinks and dinner before experiencing all the nightlife the Lakeview District has to offer.
