The past 3-4 years has really been a renaissance for bham. It was pretty shitty 5 years ago. The amount of restaurants/bars/breweries that have popped up recently is pretty crazy. You also really have to know where to go in this city. As someone said earlier, if you are somewhere at the wrong time of day, it will seem awful/dead. If you are at lakeview bars at 9:00, it will be pretty empty 
Also, for all the night owls, The Nick will not be open 24 hours on the weekend. You can stay there from 2PM or so on Friday, and not leave until 6AM on Monday

I remember going to the BJCC for some things, and a couple of UAB basketball games. City was meh. Fast forward a few years and it seems like Bham is booming.
All my old Shelby county friends are trying to get me back up to town so I can try the new (to me) world of beer.

It really is cool to see it happening. I've lived in this area for 10 years. My oldest child is 6 so I haven't really hit the late night bar scene in a while, but just the stuff that has come to downtown the past few years is amazing. I've been working downtown for 2.5 years now and in that time the new Regions Field/Railroad Park area has taken off. They're building something there now. I jogged past it about an hour ago, and it is a construction site. They're finally putting a legit grocery store downtown. Publix is slated to be built sometime next year. And the financial district where I work has a ton of old and new lunch/dinner options.
The Southside will never have a problem with good places making it. UAB and all that surrounds it will easily support any good business. It is the BJCC area that isn't going to have consistent customers, but that Uptown area looks nice from the few times I've driven past it.

Yep always shite going on, I'm more of a lakeview guy myself. But Collins and Paramount are awesome.
ETA: Parkside is awesome every time I've been as well.
