R&R Cigars

Reviewed By scottfY7606CT

A beautiful 1903 mansion transformed into cigar heaven!!! Great selection of hard to find cigars,amazing selection of beers and scotch’s as well. The home has tons of comfy chairs inside or out and plenty of tv’s to watch your favorite game. I had a Chimay on tap and it was outstanding along with my LFD Coronado Churchill . The owners Randy & Regan are very friendly and knowledgeable.. A diamond in the ruff!

Capitol park

Reviewed By RENportAL - Tuscaloosa, United States

Love this park, it is a favorite local spot for photo opportunities--prom nights, wedding announcements, etc.--due to picturesque stone ruins from historic Capitol of Alabama building which burned in the early 1900s. The park is big enough for children to run and play, and includes a large gazebo for public use. Capitol Park is mostly open space with green grass, but has some nice shade trees too. The historic old jail and tavern buildings from early Tuscaloosa days are adjacent to the park. The Capitol School is also next to the park. Unfortunately there are no bathroom facilities at the park, nor any refreshment vendors. It is however a great place to take a picnic! The park is well-located downtown Tuscaloosa near the amphitheater, only about a mile from the University of Alabama. It is just across the river from downtown Northport.

Tuscaloosa Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse

Reviewed By Ribney - Calgary, Canada

I may be a bit biased as I worked on some unseen finishing details but one of the most awe inspiring buildings I've ever worked on. I call it the 'brand new, 200 year old icon' And the detail and art inside is museum like. The local 'touch' to all the artwork is so clever and touching. Ask for the story behind the paintings

Tuscaloosa Riverwalk

Reviewed By dkorwood - Navarre, United States

Pleasant sidewalk to jog, walk or stroll in evening. Appropriately lighted and clean. Little “monsters” hidden along walk and benches and overlooks. Nice Minerva statue and Tuscaloosa timeline.
