5 Best Pubs near Gulf Shores

“My mom, aunt and I visited here on May 3 around 130pm. Immediately was greeted by our server Cruz! He sat down and went over the menu with us and gave us the low down about it all. Very patient with my mom and Aunt. They can be sometimes hard to please but they LOVED this place! We ordered the Lead Belly Burger and the Boogie Woogie Burger along with the Soul Nachos for an appetizer. We shared the house fries which were delicious. The lead burger had the best beer cheese I've tasted on it! Boogie Woogie Is just your typical bacon cheeseburger with diced up bacon and a relish type sauce on it. Fresh brewed sweet tea!!! I cannot tell you enough how delicious it all was! We were stuffed! Last but not least the best was our server Cruz! Excellent service, excellent food, and excellent price if you ask me! I'll pay whatever for a good burger and that's what we got! We will be back!“

“Our go-to spot on our vacation this week.
We always try to find karaoke places when we travel.... and this place (supposedly) does Karaoke nightly. The 3 nights in a row we went, they did have it.

It was a blast. It was a different crowd every night but always seemed to liven up after about 10pm. For as many people that were coming in and out, there were zero issues or drama that unfolded, always a plus in our books. We met some great people. The bartenders were awesome. On our second day to go to Mudbugs, when we walked in the door, the bartender had our drinks ready when he saw us coming in. We didn't even have to order. The tab was never opened under my name, but he knew my name just from talking to me once the night before, and made sure to let me know he remembered my name too. You don't find that kind of service and attention to detail much anymore.

It's a smaller place but roomy at the same time. Parking can be a little confined but manageable.

The decorations inside are unique. And you'll understand when you go inside how they got the name Mudbugs.

Beers are somewhere around $5 range. I never paid much attention to the exact price. Shots a little priceir at $7.25. Usually at the end of the night our tab was still under $100 and that was for 4 people. I dont think they have food here (I never saw anyone with any sort of bar food on their tables anyways.....
10/10 would definitely go here again in our future trips to Orange Beach.“

“We've been a few times now and met the owner. Everyone is extremely kind and as far as bar food goes they're second to none. It also houses a few different games to play after a drink or two, but maybe throw axes before you start drinking. Make a point to stop by this place if you're visiting the Gulf Shores area. You'll have a wonderful time and good memories to look back.“

“Our food was great, service was great, and the views are amazing no matter where you sit!“

“First visit with no idea what to expect. I would have been more comfortable if I had been greeted/welcomed at the door even if from across the room. Didn't know whether to seat myself or wait. Staff/atmosphere and food were amazing. Just yell a welcome across the room and say have a seat anywhere and enjoy a Guinness, we'll be with you in a minute 😆“
