Druid City Music Hall

Located close to the University of Alabama. The 362-seat Tide Theatre was opened prior to 1950 when it was operated by Hook Theaters. The Tide 1 & 2 was opened February 7, 1969. It was a favorite with University students, playing movies such as “Oliver”, “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and “Star Wars”.

It closed in the 1980’s and became a live theatre known as the Tide Theatre. By 2015 it had become the Roll Tide Bar & Grill and hosted some live performances. That had closed by 2023. By the end of 2023 it had reopened as the Druid City Music Hall.

Here is a 1986 photo of The Pitcher Show from American Classic Images. The November 11, 1983, issue of The Tuscaloosa News said that the Tide I & II Theatre would reopen that night as The Pitcher Show (Google News.) As the Pitcher Show the house served beer, wine, and food along with the movies. Despite the change in format, the house was still being operated by Cobb Theatres.

The February 5, 1969, issue of the News had an ad for the Tide I & II saying that there would be an open house on Thursday night (February 6) and the gala opening of the theater would take place on Friday, February 7.

Another one of the theaters from my college days. We spent a lot of time here- and for a small theater, they had a great video games in the lobby!
