Where Charm Flows Effortlessly
Located in the heart of Downtown Birmingham’s Loft District, The Wine Loft is one of the city’s premier event venues. Situated on the ground floor of the historic Goodall-Brown Lofts, our building dates back to 1906 and boasts more than 5,000 square feet. With its exposed brick walls, high ceilings, innovative tabletops built on vintage radiators, and beautiful oversized windows overlooking 1st Avenue North, The Wine Loft offers a versatile and charming space for any occasion.
Curated Bar Services
A full selection of wine, bottled and draft beer, and liquor drinks is available. Draft beer options are sourced from local breweries and rotate seasonally. We offer three tiers of bottomless bar packages, which can be found on the last page of our catering menu. Each is priced per person, per hour. A two-hour minimum is required for bar packages, and all adults over 21 must be included. Unlimited soft drinks, juices, and coffee are included in the cost. Shots are not included in bar packages or available for individual purchase during events. Guests must present a valid, physical ID.
Buffet Style Catering
Our catering menu is designed to suit a variety of tastes and event styles, ranging from bite-sized items perfect for cocktail hour to full meals. Our buffet style selections allow your guests to enjoy delicious food while mingling. Feel free to mix and match items to create the perfect menu for your event. We are happy to assist you with menu planning.
