About City Club Birmingham

City Club Birmingham has served downtown Birmingham for decades; bringing together business, dining, events, and connection high above the city.

Almost 40 Years of History and Service

City Club Birmingham’s official story begins in 1989, but the club’s broader local lineage goes back even further. Local historical records indicate the institution originated in 1962 as the Relay House Club, later became the Summit Club when it moved to the top of the newly completed AmSouth-Harbert Plaza in 1989, and was reintroduced as City Club Birmingham in 2016 as part of ClubCorp’s City Club Collection.

Built on Business. Evolving for Birmingham

City Club Birmingham began with strong business-club roots, and that foundation still matters to us. But like Birmingham itself, we have continued to evolve.

Over time, we have expanded the experience to reflect how people gather now; with a stronger emphasis on dining, more ways to connect, and spaces that support everything from weekday meetings to private celebrations. We have renewed our focus on improving the culinary experience and strengthening the amenities that make the Club useful, comfortable, and worth returning to.

Focused on What’s Next

We believe the best clubs evolve without losing what made them matter in the first place

For us, that means honoring our history while continuing to raise

  • Where we are

In the Heart of Downtown

31 Floors Up

City Club Birmingham is located in Regions-Harbert Plaza at 1901 6th Avenue North, in the center of downtown Birmingham. The Club occupies the 31st and 32nd floors, giving members and guests a setting that feels connected to the city while offering a perspective above it.

Business, Dining, and Community: All in One Place

Today, City Club Birmingham is a private club shaped by the rhythm of the city. Some members join us for breakfast before the day begins. Others come in for meetings, client lunches, private events, or evenings that last a little longer than planned.
We are still a place for business, but we are more than that. We are also a place for dining, conversation, celebration, and belonging.

What
Members Say

I have had the pleasure of hosting several events at The City Club Birmingham, and each experience has been exceptional. From the initial planning stages through the event day, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is handled with care. The team is always accommodating and works diligently to ensure all event needs and special requests are met. Their communication throughout the setup process provides peace of mind, and their attention to detail helps every event run smoothly. And the daytime service is consistently professional, attentive, and welcoming.

“City Club Birmingham has long held a meaningful place in our community — a setting for professional engagement, personal connection, and shared memories.”
