Great food we went deep sea fishing and then grabbed a bit to eat I got the black chicken mac & cheese bowl it was so good and filled me up service was quick and very friendly would recommend read more

We've been a couple of times the first time the food was great and the service was spot on. We went with friends tonight and the service was terrible. My tea glass sat empty for ten minutes- we got a complimentary gumbo and presented the coupon before we placed our order. The wait for food was extra long. They brought the food and I reminded them I was supposed to have gumbo. I nearly finished my meal before they brought the gumbo. My glass sat empty more than once. Had we great service the first time. Very disappointed with service this go around. Had it been this way the first time we would never have went back. The food is very good though. read more

No live music was playing and we got there around noon. The menu is very limited. Tried to ask a couple of questions about the burger, and the staff was very curt. The parking situation is very confusing about the paying to park or you'll get towed. Other people even came up to us and asked us if we knew if we had to pay or not. Personal opinion, but totally cringed at the "Gulf of America!" shirts they sell in there. read more

Huge. We came here AFTER the spring break rush but did experience the traffic during the mullet toss weekend. I couldn't begin to tell you how many different bars/areas are in this place. Indoors - outdoors and multiple levels. We were still able to experience some live music which was cool. There were still a few lingerers from the massive weekend still hanging out and having a good time. read more

Flora-Bama is an experience all on its own; part beach bar, part concert venue, part controlled chaos in the best possible way. They've got multiple stages going at once, so no matter where you wander, you're catching live music. The whole place has a great, high-energy vibe that makes it impossible not to have a good time and the service was friendly. We caught the band that lets the ladies spin the wheel; easily one of the highlights. They're like Conway Twitty meets Weird Al Yankovic, and yes, it's just as entertaining as it sounds. You never know what's coming next, and that's half the fun. The drinks were solid, the food was good, and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a Gulf Coast landmark. If you're looking for a place where the music never stops and the people-watching is top tier, Flora-Bama delivers. I can't wait to visit again!! read more

The Flora-bama is the spot to be at! We went for a bachelorette trip and we had a blast! The singers were interactive and played good music. Bartenders were all super nice and the drinks were really cheap. The only downside was that we went on Sunday and could not get an Uber so we had to take an expensive taxi but that's not the bar's fault. read more

Heard all about this place when I was growing up in Florida. Wasn't until recently I was able to visit and see what the hype was. Came out on a Wednesday night and the ambiance was still really nice. Good sounding bands down stairs and performers upstairs. Could really feel some of the history to the place. Will be back to check it out again read more

Amazing and fun place! Lots of great musicians that play there ! The drinks are cheap! Lots of cool merchandise too! read more

Always great seeing Ashley at the bar. Years of great service! Been coming for fifteen plus years.

Iconic, colossal, divey, dingy, and gritty, Flora-Bama offers everything from tons of live music, too many bars to count, eats ranging from an oyster bar to fast casual family dining with everything from crispy dill pickles to crusted yellowfin tuna to filet mignon, an annual mullet toss [the fish, not the haircut], lotto tickets, packed dance floors, souvenirs and merch galore, ubiquitous lingerie hanging from the rafters/beams, a package store, patio/deck, marina, yacht club, graffiti galore, beach access, and Sunday live worship services including Bible-based teaching-- well that's the Flora-Bama experience: truly something for everyone!! I've been to the Flora-Bama too many times to count over the years and [I'm sure glad these walls can't talk], I have some F-B stories that are, well, better left untold. Now that bad decision-making days are long gone, when in the Orange Beach area, F-B is my group's destination for 4 things: scratch off lotto tickets [thanks F-B! We still don't have a lottery in Alabama]; a dozen or so raw oysters [or Royal Reds if they are available]; a Solo cup of white wine with a couple of ice cubes to keep it cool and classy; and a seat on one of the picnic tables the deck. Oh, and we always have to peruse the merchandise, as one Alabama news reporter described as a "gift shop that rivals a Dollar General, only with more expensive...merchandise" [Kelly Kazek at al.com]. The Flora-Bama serving staff are on their game and they have to be due to the masses who frequent the place! This isn't your quiet hole-in-the-wall where you sit at the bar and chat up the bartender. If you expect that at the Flora-Bama, you may have to forfeit your Southern Card. The bouncers/ID checkers are legit, for good reason, folks from all over frequent this establishment, I can't imagine trying to keep up with all the national and international credentials potential patrons present as ID. You never know who you may bump into at the Flora-Bama, usually someone you know from northern-mid Alabama who, like you, is vacationing in the "Redneck Riveria" as we affectionately call it, is likely there too! Then there's famous folks like Kenny Chesney and Jenna Bush Hager [among countless others] who've popped in. Do visit the Flora-Bama! You can't miss it, as dusk approaches, there's always Police cars with lights flashing at the crosswalk from the parking area to the main complex. You will definitely leave with fun merch, a full belly and fond memories! read more

Grace is the best!! She always makes the best drinks! She's all my friends frav bartender !! We love grace!!!

We went back in September, but I just wanted to come on here to speak on the impeccable service that this venue provides. I ended up having A LOT Buschwackers (expected), and accidentally dropped my card in the floorspace. Drunk and freaking out, I went to the manager who calmly told me to come back in the am when they could better help me without it being so full. Coming back the next morning, I met with the manager again and he walkie-talkied the maintenance man who proceeded to PULL THE FLOORBOARDS UP where I said I dropped my card. They then literally stuck their heads in the floor with flashlights to look for it. I don't know what I expected them to do, but this was not it; and I left grateful that they were so willing to engage in the temporary destruction of their property to find mine. The card ended up being a goner, but I have never met any establishment that would go through such lengths to satisfy a customer and return their personal property. The fact that they did this ended up making me feel a lot better about the situation overall, even if my card wasn't found. With this being said, don't make them pull up the floorboards for you, but know that they would in the worst case scenario. Which says a lot about their courtesy towards their customers. Already planning a trip to come back with my apple pay this time!! read more

Fabulous place for a large group. There's a variety of activities consistently happening. A walk to the beach to reserve an umbrella and chairs. Friendly staff. Leave guns and alcohol at home; bags are checked. Huge souvenir shop, mini Photo Booth and several stages for music. Definitely returning! read more

Maegan and Brent were absolutely amazing on our half day cruise this afternoon. The weather was iffy the entire time and we still managed to dock at bird island for an hour and then cruise amongst several dolphins and then made our way to our own private island for 30 more minutes. The crew was very receptive to our wishes and made our boat ride unforgettable. What a great day it was! I would highly recommend them for large groups as we had 17 in our group and there was plenty of room for everyone. Thank you Maegan and Brent for an unforgettable experience! read more

Very cool bar, we were here during the day and there was music on two of the stages. I would love to experience this place at night but be aware no kids after 6pm here but kids are welcome after 6 at the Flor-Bama Yacht club. I loved the shrimp taco's, Cajun oysters, and the bushwhacker. Regular oysters, chicken sandwich, and key lime colada were good as well. All 3 boys and their friends disliked the tenders, so yeah, maybe avoid those. read more

Stopped here for lunch after touring Naval Air museum on a Tuesday. Parking is very scarce. My parents shared a shrimp basket and I ordered the Oyster sampler. They were Cajun, parmesan and one with bacon. The oysters are small and 12 can feed 1 person easily. I walked the beach and may have been in Florida and Alabama at the same time. Stopped at gift shop. I really liked this colorful sweatshirt, but it was a 3x. I can cinch it somewhat and roll the sleeves. Bought it anyway. Also bought a Floribama license plate. We didn't go to the other floor to listen to music or play bingo. Didn't stay too long, as I was with my 70-80 year old parents. No alcohol drinking either. It's so stupid to have a tip line when you order and pick up the food yourself. read more

I did not eat here but I came with family to have a good time after thanksgiving. there was a large male who came to our table and 2 minutes later my phone went "missing" as we were walking out we noticed he got kicked out so I asked him if he had my phone... well his wife went nuts and the bouncer Mike told us we had to leave. Mike continued to yell at my husband for simply standing at florabama. so disappointed in the people in charge here. this could have been fixed by a bouncer who actually worked. read more

Amazing atmosphere and great food! A bit overpriced but what isn't nowadays lol Great place to party and listen to goof music!

Walked in and met Will. (He wasn't on the clock yet) but he asked if this was our first trip to Flora Bama. He then gave us a tour of the place so we would not miss any of the great music they had. Food - Shrimp Tacos were fantastic. Thanks Will for the wonderful welcome to a fun place. I will definitely be back next time I am in Alabama. read more

The drink menu was fantastic! One of my favorite spots. The fish tacos were so good as well. We also loved sitting outside by the water. Gorgeous, fun time! read more

We booked the dolphin tour last minute and they were able to accommodate us. They were very efficient, 10 minutes before the tour time they were able to check us in. The boat was very clean! Even the bathroom was clean! They host was very friendly and informative. They were patient in finding and looking for dolphins to make sure we get the experience that we wanted. We saw a mom and baby dolphin! I highly recommend Flora-Bama! read more

This place is supposed to be the wow of the south in Gulf Shores. We tried to get in to assess it for ourselves. However, the Stasi security & search service made the experience so annoying that we abandoned entry attempts and called it a day. We get it -- this place can attract crazy, unsavory types and others who get drunk and go crazy. We understand the need for searches at the gate. But search and seizure is a matter of judgment. Draconian methods with senior citizens simply wanting to look around are a bit much. But we know from experience even old folks can get crazy under the influence. For us, carrying cameras, pocket tools, a pocket knife with tools to adjust our equipment, and the remains of dinner we had elsewhere in styrofoam boxes, all of which were forbidden for entry, the screening was a bit too much. Too bad for the business. We were there to write a travel story about the place as part of a group of travel bloggers/journalists in Gulf Shores for a weekend. Others will gain the sunshine they lost. Go, if you don't mind putting up with the screening. read more

Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar is an iconic and long-standing establishment (actually, I would go as far as to call it an institution) up here in the Pensacola, Florida area. The Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar has a fun vibe and I spent many a memorable evening here. The staff is friendly and professional and the drawings are nice and cold. Before I mentioned that I would daresay that the Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar is an institution here. It sits close to the Florida/Alabama state line and is just a great place. If you are up this way, I would definitely recommend a visit to the Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar. It is a great place to visit and will make for a memorable evening. read more

Staff was friendly! We saw plenty of dolphins that did even did tricks for us. The kiddos got to "drive the boat" as well. The interactive music was fun as well. read more
