Nightlife
Krewe livening up 1st Avenue with New Orleans flair
How does one decide on the perfect
spot to relax and unwind? It is certain that
atmosphere, location, service and hospitality
all factor into the decision. With so many
options, how does one choose the perfect
hang out spot?
Business man Ian Willicott has made
Krewe on First just that place. With gorgeous
hard wood floors, low lighting and plush
seating all with a New Orleans flair, Krewe
creates a famous atmosphere to grab a drink
or kick back with a nice cigar.
With a long history in the wine
business, starting at Wined Down, Willicott
used his extensive knowledge to select many
fine and well-known wines for patrons to sip
on while enjoying a relaxing atmosphere.
Roam the wine shelves, select a wine,
and sit down to sip. Also check out the walkin humidor with it’s large selection of cigars.
“My favorite thing about Birmingham is
its southern hospitality,” Willicott said.
As a man from New Orleans he is
happy to make Birmingham his home these
past seven years. Willicott says the familyfocused cusine and hospitality in Birmingham
are all parallel to New Orleans and are what
inspired him when launching Krewe.
Kick back with a glass of wine in
Krewe’s cozy, New Orleans-inspired
atmosphere located on First Avenue
South in Downtown.
