The Von Braun Center (VBC) is in the heart of Downtown Huntsville. This staple in the Huntsville community is the perfect space for concerts, conventions, sporting events, and theater! If you are visiting to experience one of these awesome activities, we have a list of restaurants and watering holes that are within walking distance of your event!
Harvest Moon
Located on the ground floor of the Trilogy Hotel, Harvest Moon is a farm-to-table restaurant serving breakfast and dinner with a focus on local ingredients and Southern-inspired dishes. The open kitchen and large windows overlooking Big Spring Park make it a great option for a meal before or after an event at the VBC.
Vesper Sky Lounge
Head to the top floor of the Trilogy Hotel for Vesper Sky Lounge, where specialty cocktails, wine, and small plates come with sweeping views of Big Spring Park and Downtown Huntsville. Grab a drink and a few bites while taking in the view before heading over to your event.
Rhythm on Monroe
Serving locally-sourced ingredients, Rhythm on Monroe's menu provides delicious urban fare to complement any afternoon. The menu features craft brews, a curated wine list, and handmade cocktails. Guests will enjoy sitting near fire pits and watching the evening sun set over Big Spring Park from the rooftop bar.
Starbucks
Need a coffee before a convention, concert, or event? There are two Starbucks locations within walking distance of the Von Braun Center.
Stop by Starbucks inside the Trilogy Hotel on Monroe Street, located just across from the VBC and overlooking Big Spring Park. You can also head to the Starbucks at Heart of Huntsville Drive near Clinton Avenue for your favorite coffee, tea, breakfast, or quick bite on the go.
Big Spring Park
Across the street from the VBC is Big Spring Park. This green space has a beautiful path that can lead you to incredible Italian from Pane E Vino, or a sweet treat from the Cozy Cow.
The Historic Downtown Square
If the VBC is the heart of Downtown, the Square is the stomach! Northside and Southside Square have outdoor seating, restaurants, taprooms, and with a little luck you can catch live music! Enjoy the patios at Domaine South and the Poppy. Looking for a more elegant evening? Cotton Row, Commerce Kitchen, Purveyor, and One Eleven are the perfect sophisticated dining experiences after a night at the symphony! If you need a caffeine boost or a sweet treat, Honest Coffee, The Moon Bakeshop, and Kaffeeflatsch have you covered! You can’t go wrong on the Historic Downtown Huntsville Square!

Twickenham Square
Anchored by Publix, Twickenham Square has several dining options as well! Whether you are looking for tacos, seafood, or something a little healthier, Twickenham has something for you and maybe a little extra!
Quick Drive
If you are willing to jump in your car or grab a quick Uber, we have several more choices just a few streets away in the Lincoln Mill District and at two restored facilities - Campus 805 and Stovehouse.
Campus No. 805
Known as the coolest middle school in the country, this repurposed building holds two breweries, tons of fun inside, and plenty of places to eat.
Stovehouse
Stovehouse is an old stove factory turned into a food and leisure garden that showcases all locally owned restaurants with plenty of space to spread out. The outdoor spaces have both heaters and fans so it's perfect year-round.

Huntsville has no shortage of fun and unique dining options! If you are visiting, you can also try out the Downtown Coffee Trail, Downtown Craft Beer Trail, or join us for Restaurant Week in August. During Huntsville Restaurant Week, participating local restaurants will have a special menu and/or pricing for the general public. This is the perfect time to try out something new and explore the Huntsville dining scene. Be sure to take pictures and share using #dinehsv - we love to see those happy plates!
