The culinary scene keeps getting bigger here in Birmingham! Urban Parc, a new restaurant and bar in Five Points South, opened its doors back in May. Inside, you’ll quickly realize that this establishment is anything but typical. From the state-of-the-art arcade area equipped with a bowling alley to the breathtaking rooftop bar, Urban Parc offers a diverse array of experiences that will leave you in awe. But that’s not all, nestled within you’ll discover a refined fine dining section with a selection full of delicious entrees. But behind this amazing idea, local well-known foodies made this all possible.
Introducing the duo behind this exceptional restaurant: Draper Mason, the visionary owner, and Parie Cobb, the culinary mastermind as the head chef. Together, they have created a unique experience here in BHM for all ages to enjoy. You might know Draper Mason from Urban Smoke, a bar and grill located in Fairfield. Draper knew he had something more to offer his community and always loved Five Points. When he noticed the location was vacant, he jumped on the opportunity.
“I wasn’t looking for anything specific, but I frequent 5 Points and felt that Birmingham was missing a fun and different experience downtown,” said Draper.
