It's nicer than other places around town, but I don't find it to be as "upscale" as they claim…read more It's as if it doesn't know what it wants to be having so many TVs around. Is it a sports bar? Is it a wine-liquor bar? The jukebox on the wall kind of threw us for a loop as it loudly played tons of country, sometimes repeating songs, then R&B. Decor was pretty in its colors, but once there it screamed "look upscale at cheapest options possible". Tables are laminate, floors appear laminate, but the bathrooms appear to be of higher quality options. Certain drink ingredients requested weren't available. (The server didn't know what allspice dram was; the bartender didn't even know what allspice dram was, let alone have it.) A friend requested a particular tequila, but they don't have it. He then requested a particular mezcal, and the server suggested something else. I sought out two particular Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but they don't have either of those either. I ordered an Old Fashioned made with rum instead of whiskey. I was disappointed with how sweet the drink was. After watching the bartender it's as if she's not pouring to the top of the jigger, indicating under-pouring. Maybe because "it's messy" to pour it complete. So I ordered a margarita next, thinking it's harder to mess that up-- if it wasn't great, then that tells me a lot about this place. The margarita was soooo heavy on mixer/lime juice. I don't know that I'll want to come back for cocktails. The menu and execution were both underwhelming. But hey, the decor is kind of pretty... Again, it is nicer than other options around town, but it isn't what we expected compared to what we're used to. When you sell yourself as "upscale," customers expect upscale.

Get comfortable...it's gonna be a while!…read more After my third visit, figured I had given it plenty of chances. The ambiance is great, cool set up and comfortable chairs (and you're gonna need them for the service time). Even with staff admitted "slow night," very slow service. Servers often seen on their phones rather than checking to see if another round was needed. Let down because this place could be a slam dunk. When I've eaten the food it's been good, but pricey. There's also a VIP section with sofas and chairs but a sign listed it as $50/person.

What a fun time at the annual Christmas Potluck lunch for the senior citizens of the city of…read moreSpanish Fort. Tables were decorated by the various groups that meet at the center with Christmas Carol themes. Our Mahjong group chose "O Christmas Tree" for the two tables we decorated. Everyone attending brought a side dish or a dessert and 2 businesses furnished the entrees of ham and fried chicken. Music was provided by Greg Normand and Terry Youngblood. Christmas carols were played and even a sing along by the group of attendees. Door prizes were provided by Spanish Fort Businesses. Heather Allen, Spanish Fort Activity Director, did an amazing job of organizing this event. Thank you City of Spanish Fort for hosting this event.

Kitchen space is large. It's connected to the Spanish Fort Library. There is also a beautiful pond in the back with a nice deck/board walk and fountains. The ladies room is nice and clean with modern amenities. I must say it was a pleasant surprise!

Since I've visited, they've added a few things and I still LOVE it!…read more They've added a sun shade in a part of the seating area (needed that), Cammie's Old Dutch ice cream is here (w/ Sno Biz-- definitely needed that), and there's also an adults-only area after 7pm (nice). I'm loving the increased and unique lineup of events coming to the FORT. I attended my first comedy show in the gulf coast area, here last night. Cheers to even more fun times and the evolution of the FORT Container Park!

As a private club belonging to the residents of the Lake Forest Community, it offers a variety of services including a marina with wet and dry slips, gasoline, a full-service lounge and snack bar. A full time harbor master is on duty five days a week and the Club lounge is open six days a week. Also a spacious dining room with a dance floor and handy kitchen are available for private parties and special events. Members and guests enjoy the beautiful sunsets over Mobile Bay on the spacious deck.

The beds were so comfy! After a day of travel, to be able to sink into a cushy bed was heaven…read more The room was super dark and very quiet, even though it was just off the freeway. Perfectly quiet for sleeping. Breakfast had real oatmeal with all the toppings. Everything was fresh and very good. Overall, the hotel was showing signs of age but it was clean and the staff was very friendly. Great stop.

The room was clean, the front desk reps were so nice and friendly and the location was close to everything! The continental breakfast was great, my only suggestion is that maybe they could add a non-diary alternative for the cereals. I used the workout room several times and I was always the only person there. I would definitely recommend and stay at the hotel again and would have rated 4.5 stars, if possible. The only complaints that I really had were that the towels smelled overwhelming like bleach (but at least they were clean) and the stairwell smelled very smoky (signs were posted throughout that smoking was not allowed).

I love Top of the Bay! Seriously, who IS this horse-faced Avery chick? Girl must be the Yelp…read moreequivalent of a professional hater--she drops a 1-star review faster than a drunk uncle drops his beer at a wedding. Probably mad because the barstools don't come with a personal therapist to listen to her complaints. Meanwhile, the rest of us are living our best lives: the atmosphere is straight-up electric (in a good way, not like that one time the jukebox shorted out), the booze flows like it's happy hour in heaven--wine? Nah, we're talking bottomless vibes and top-shelf pours that make you forget what day it is. The staff? Absolute legends. They remember your drink before you remember your own name, and they do it with smiles bigger than the Mobile Bay itself. And the events? Non-stop party central: * Wednesdays: Line dancing so fun you'll forget you have two left feet (spoiler: everyone does after shot #3). * Fridays: Live bands that slap harder than your ex's bad decisions. * Saturdays & Sundays: Karaoke where your off-key rendition of "Sweet Caroline" somehow becomes the highlight of the night--bonus points if you dedicate it to Avery for the motivation. Plus, outdoor music perfect for pretending you're in a music video while actually just spilling your drink on your shoes. It's the ultimate spot to grab a cold one, mingle like you're auditioning for a rom-com, and meet new people who are actually fun (unlike certain reviewers). The regulars? Pure gold. They'll hook you up with every hidden gem, event, and questionable life choice happening in Baldwin County faster than you can say "another round." Bottom line: If you're looking for a good time in Daphne, Top of the Bay is where it's at. Avery can stay home reviewing her own fridge if she wants--more barstools for the rest of us party animals!

Listen. This is probably the best hometown bar I have ever been to…read more I am a 42 year old WOMAN who enjoys coming to this bar. I come with my husband, so I haven't ever had the experiences as OTHER women (please see the lot lizard that left the one star review on 3/13) of being put in my place and told no when attempting to seduce a SIGNIFICANTLY older man (ohmygod its like I was there...) I also don't tend to laugh like a loud congested hyena, so maybe that doesn't hinder my view on the joint. The bartenders Morgan, Christina, John and Emma are all amazing. They all pay attention to you, regardless of whats between your legs. Please give this bar a chance. Just dont sit where we sit, or play shitty music please. Thank you!
