Guidebook for Florence
Food Scene
This is probably my favorite coffee/food place in the world. THE WORLD. And I'm not kidding. Great people, great GREAT breakfasts and lunches... and excellent coffee. You'll see legends and artists and regular ol' folks come in and enjoy this place. It's the backbone of Florence's artistic renaissance. Support them!

This place is, without any doubt, the best restaurant in North Alabama. If it were in New York or Chicago, it would be on those lists, too. It's that good. The food is absolutely outstanding, the bar is one-of-a-kind and the service is top-notch. A trip here without dinner at Odette would be a mistake!

This is the ultimate "soda fountain" ice cream shop. You know exactly what to expect... but the prices are so low that you'll be shocked it's still 2017. And the ice cream.... holy moly....

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a great, cheap, every night of the week option for a drink or two downtown. Nice folks, too. The front patio is pleasant during the day... and a scene at night!

This is the music venue that we run at Single Lock Records. Walk by and see what posters are in the window, or what's painted on the outside. If there's a show-- GO! We're proud of this place, and we think you'll enjoy it. Music is the heartbeat of this area.

Sightseeing
The birthplace of the Muscle Shoals Sound. Aretha Franklin, Etta James, the Allman Brothers... they all recorded here. I've recorded here, too... and it's magic! They give tours... so call ahead. This is one of the most important sights in American Music.

Shopping
This is the flagship location of the Billy Reid fashion empire... a sure bet for some sharp threads, but really a place that sparked the revival of downtown Florence. Billy is a guy who did what he wanted, how he wanted, on his terms... and made the world notice. That's the kind of folks we have in Florence.

World-famous women's fashion designer Natalie Chanin keeps her flagship shop (and amazing cafe) nestled away in the middle of an industrial park. Don't let that scare you off, though. This is a great glimpse of community in a town that has that magic in spades.
