The Southern Food and Beverage Museum

SoFAB is closed to the public as we prepare to move. Our new location will be open later this year, keep an eye out for announcements!

As of March 18th, 2013, the Southern Food and Beverage Museum will be closed to the public as we prepare to move to our new location. Learn more about the new home of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum at 1504 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard here, and stay tuned for more information about the re-opening of museum later this year.

Don’t forget, we may be closed, but we’ll still have programs all over the city celebrating the food and drinks of the South and all of our chefs, bartenders, and food lovers who make it possible. Check our Events page for the latest events, and sign up for our newsletter to stay informed. Thanks for all of your support and we’re looking forward to our next step!
