8 Reale OBAL

Very cool, upscale hang out spot that serves handmade one-of-a-kind cocktails. What makes this place special though is the staff..they are professional,helpful, and fun!

My 2nd time in this establishment was last night. The first time the drinks weren’t all that great for the pricing. When I say that I mean they have some weird pairings that I didn’t care for for any of the 3 I got. Service was fine and decent atmosphere.
2nd time we were moved 2 times.. then the people who had the couch section reserved were allowed to basically stacking chairs on top of me and my two other people to where we barely even had any room they were placed as tho we were completely irrelevant and not even there which made me so mad. Because I’m a paying customer just as they are.
ON TOP of them moving my friend yet again. They made her give her the chair she was in and brought her back a crappy uncomfortable chair. The drinks were okay. I ordered something safe because of last time I knew not too branch too far. The music was really loud you would think at a speakeasy it would be more toned down so you could socialize with one another but no it was extremely loud.

It was the worst experience I ever had anywhere. To be made to feel less than when you’re lit there being a paying customer just as everyone else is. I was HOT when I left and the server KNEW it.
Absolutely no excuse. DO BETTER.

The vibe was awesome however I did feel ripped off when both water dispensers were empty because “there was an issue with their ice “ so when we asked for water they charge us $6.50. Which is ridiculous. To say there is an issue with their ice is BS since ice is needed to make drinks . Which of course we ordered. Just a dishonest way to make another 13 dollars and additional gratuity

Drinks were amazing! Only downside was that there was a DJ the night we went and it was incredibly loud to where I couldn’t even hear my boyfriend beside me and overall just didn’t match the vibe of the venue or drinks

Just spectacular cocktails! Cynthia was attentive, taught me that I actually like gin, and recommended delightful drinks that could not have been more perfect.

Be warned, this place can be very selective about who they let in, and not in a good way.

We approached the entrance to be met by a bouncer who had his shirt half unbuttoned and a drink in hand. He told us it was “private parties only”, despite the venue openly advertising they were operating that night.

Not even 30 seconds later, three young women walked up behind us and were let in without hesitation or explanation. When I asked about that, the bouncer literally shut the door in my face.

No mention of max occupancy, no system for keeping count, and the patio was completely empty.

I used to really enjoy this place, but the unprofessionalism, especially from the door staff, completely ruined it. Turning away paying customers on a busy night for arbitrary reasons while clearly playing favorites? Wild.

It was cute with the piano and all, but my bf and I ordered just 3 drinks each and it was $190+, more than our anniversary dinner 🥲

Absolutely loved this hidden gem at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Five stars all the way.

If you’re looking for a secret spot with incredible vibes, this is it. The atmosphere is cozy yet elevated, perfect for a night out or a relaxed evening with friends. The bar area is beautiful and the seating areas are super inviting. We went with friends and had a great time!

The owners are so sweet and welcoming. You can feel the local love the moment you walk in. And the espresso martini? Amazing. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Highly recommend bringing your friends and enjoying everything this place has to offer. A true local treasure!

8 Reale OBAL is a true hidden gem here in Orange Beach! We absolutely love the ambiance & delicious drink options here & received wonderful service from the staff. They have a lovely outdoor seating area as well. My favorite beverage was the espresso martini! Highly recommend checking them out next time you’re visiting The Warf!

One of the better cocktail bars I've been to. The drinks are innovative and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I had a great conversation with Norton about New Orleans and could not have had a better night. Thanks for being such gracious hosts. The recs for NO were sublime as well. I hope to see y'all again soon.
