5 Best Pubs near Gulf Shores

“My wife and I went for dinner while on spring break, she had the brisket Mac and cheese, and I had the bleu burger. Both were amazing!! Also the salad we got with our meals were the best!!! Our waitress was amazing as well. This place is top notch!! Thanks for having us!!“

“This place has had a bad reputation over the years, but it recently got new ownership, and let’s say they've really turned the bar around for the better! I had been there in previous years and swore never to set foot back in there. This past year, I’ve had some friends who started going and working there, so I gave it a shot. I was very impressed because it was like a whole different bar I was walking into.

So much security, who are always on top of things (I’ve heard that a lot of the security and bartenders have undergone extensive training to make sure everyone stays safe). At the front door, they check IDs with a scanner and a book of all IDs for each state. They are a 19-and-up bar, but anytime I’ve seen people not of legal age trying to sneak a sip, they are always on top of it and kick them out immediately.

A lot of people (locals) like to down on it and say you will get roofied, or see a lot of fights. Still, I honestly haven’t seen or heard of any of that happening under this new ownership (not saying it never does, but it’s definitely not as bad as it used to be under old management), and guess what? That can happen at any bar you go to. I know so many people who have been roofied at the FloraBama or other bars in the area. I saw way more fights going on at the Shaker every weekend at the wharf.

It is so much fun that they do karaoke too, have live music, and have so many different areas to visit and hang out. They have done a spectacular job at renovating the place too. I really enjoy the outback area, especially on holiday weekends and big occasions, because they have a DJ and a host and do so many fun games to win things.

Food and drinks are great, too, as is the service! Evan is my personal favorite!!

All I’m trying to say is it’s a whole different bar now, a whole different crowd, a whole different experience, a whole different atmosphere, and the locals who have heard and/or have said bad things about it over the years should really give this new business a try!“

“Delicious drinks and food! Offered to accommodate my gluten free allergy. Have THE best Cesar salad dressing! The grilled chicken was perfect and the chicken wings with the Alabama sauce was delish! Perfect view of the bay. Come by boat if you prefer! Bring your pup! Highly recommend.“

“Came here for the first time after basically getting rained out at The Wharf Ampitheater. Food is great. Patty Melt and Chicken bites are a must. Have a couple of darker beer selections plus normal light beer options. Miro served us at the bar and when we moved to a table. Service was top notch. Energy and vibe is great. 🤟👍👍“
