Over the past year, Birmingham has introduced a growing number of fresh businesses, evolving our city’s landscape. Lakeview Marina is located near Pepper Place and Highland Park, and is only a few minutes from UAB. The up-and-coming district is an emerging space you must check out—especially with the weather getting warmer!

 

Seasick Records

Originally located in Avondale, Seasick Records relocated to Lakeview Marina in 2025. This music spot has a large selection of vinyl records, CDs, and cassettes, all neatly organized by genre and artist. From hand-picked selections to local and touring artists, Seasick Records is a place where music lovers can appreciate art together. The welcoming energy makes browsing feel peaceful, and the staff’s love for music shines through with their eagerness to assist you in any way. 

 

Birmingham Classic Cuts

Who would’ve thought you could get a haircut while you pick up some of your favorite vinyls? Birmingham Classic Cuts also relocated to Lakeview Marina in 2025. A barbershop for everyone, Birmingham Classic Cuts makes it their mission to give you exactly what you’re looking for with efficiency and affordable rates.

 

High Dive HiFi Lounge

Lakeview Marina is also the perfect place to grab a bite to eat and relax at High Dive HiFi Lounge. Let yourself dive into the ambiance that makes this spot like no other. From the warm lighting to the mid-century modern furniture, you can tell there is passion inside the beautiful wood-paneled walls. This creates the perfect balance between the sound systems intentionally nestled throughout the room and the calm that radiates throughout the atmosphere. Whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat, sharing a coffee or cocktail with a friend, getting some work done, or winding down, High Dive Hifi Lounge makes for a great destination.

 

Lakeview Marina Music Park

Lakeview Marina has become a space where community and music lovers can seek a deeper connection. The Lakeview Marina Music Park is welcoming a few artists for upcoming concerts this spring and summer. The outdoor venue is a lively gathering spot for the community to appreciate art and energy, making lasting memories. From the upcoming acts to the spacious seating, the music hall is an exciting new treasure in Birmingham. 

Our city’s innovation and growing appreciation for the arts and community make for some refreshing adventures, and Lakeview Marina makes it easy to enjoy it all.
