Howard’s Unlimited Lounge & Cocktail Bar

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Birmingham, meet your new grown-and-glam go-to. It’s the latest in our New to the Neighborhood series: Howard’s Unlimited Lounge & Cocktail Bar, now open at 4010 Avenue I in the heart of Belview Heights-built for the 30-and-up crowd that still likes to step out, look good, and have a real time.

This isn’t just another bar. Howard’s Unlimited brings the whole vibe: a stylish lounge setting, top-tier service, live music, and a weekly brunch scene that’s filling a gap folks around here have been feeling.

It’s the vision of Chris Coleman, joined by close friends Terry White and DeForest Brown, who opened the doors in early December. And the name? It’s personal. “Howard” is the shared middle name across three generations—Coleman, his father, and his grandfather—making the lounge a tribute as much as it is a destination.

Coleman says he wanted something warm, welcoming, and classic—somewhere mature patrons can unwind with good music, great drinks, and that familiar Birmingham sense of connection he’s known for throughout his radio career. And beyond the nightlife, the space also doubles as a hub for nonprofit work, keeping community at the center of the mission.

The goal is bigger than a good night out—the trio hopes Howard’s Unlimited becomes a local favorite and helps bring fresh energy to this historic neighborhood.
