Our server, Michael was absolutely wonderful. (Plus he has amazing hair!) Anyway, we started with my Smoked Old Fashioned (It was ok, bartender went a little heavy on the bitters, and I should've asked for Bulleit Rye but that was my bad.) Anyway, Honey got a Black and Blue. Both came out super quick and we were instantly refreshed. We chose to sit in the patio bc the weather was nice and not too hot or cold. It was just right. We started with the ColCannon Boxty Appetizer. It is small balls of shredded potatoes that are fried, and come with a delish aioli dipping sauce. We chose to split the Shepherds pie for our main course. The meat gave me meat loaf vibes but with a ground beef texture and a unique aftertaste.. It was good, just the texture is unique! It came with a small portion of the Brown Bread with Garlic butter. It was good! We asked for more Garlic butter. It was delicious! We would've ordered a Creme Brûlée but we were both stuffed. It was overall a great place and we will visit it again. A must visit if you are in Orange Beach!

We decided to try The Galway for dinner one night during our short time at Gulf Shores. It was a…read morechoice we were overall quite happy with! Coming for dinner on a Friday night, we were definitely concerned about getting a spot to eat. Parking is definitely limited, but we were pleased to find there was no way for a table outside. The weather was lovely and the music piped outside (often featuring Irish artists such as one of my favorites, Hozier!) made the whole atmosphere perfect. The inside is cute (albeit dim) and fulfills the pub fantasy. The ladies' restroom was clean. Our waitress was cheerful and fun. It took a little while for her to come get our drink order but after that she was johnny on the spot. The other waitstaff was friendly and professional too. My parents split the fish and chips, I got the chicken pot pie, and we split a side of colcannon. The sweet tea I had to drink was a little on the unsweet side for me, but I often find that's the case at restaurants on the gulf...further evidence that Florida/the gulf area is fundamentally different from the rest of the Deep South. Lol. My parents definitely enjoyed the fish and chips overall. I think my dad was hoping for a little more salt/seasoning in the fish breading but my mom was VERY pleased with hers. I'd never had colcannon before and thought what we got was just alright, figuring it wasn't really for me. My mom, who's tried it a few times different places, said she'd had a lot better. It had a pretty strong beer taste from the gravy on top. I'd be curious to try it again somewhere else and see how it compares. The shining star of the night was definitely my chicken pot pie. The crust was delightfully brown, the chicken was succulent and plentiful, and the sauce it swam in with the tender veggies was super flavorful and aromatic. It was perfect for a very slightly chilly evening. The brown bread served with it was absolutely delightful too, warm and rich and topped with delicious herb butter. I could easily eat a whole loaf. This was a great meal! Thanks for a unique and tasty dinner in Gulf Shores! I highly recommend the chicken pot pie to anyone considering it. :)

They do serve food here and I've had better pub food and I think the burger is the best thing here. My last visit here was right before a Carnival Ball and it was VERY crowded but they still kept up with taking care of everybody. They often have live music and Irish music on Sundays. Overall I'm very motivated to return here and I have been sampling more of their food menu and enjoying some live music.

The inside is dim lit and feels like a classic dive bar. We actually sat outside and met some friends. We only had drinks, and all the beers were good and cold. Fun place to watch football.

The Irish Nachos and Fish and Chips that people around us ordered, looked very good.

From the moment you walk in, Tonya, Lisa, and Suzanne treat you like an old friend who happens to have great taste. Need a wine to pair with dinner, impress a date, or survive your in-laws? They somehow read your soul and hand you the perfect bottle. Seriously, Suzanne's wine knowledge borders on psychic. She'll hand you something that tastes like it should cost $100, and then tell you it's under $20. You'll double-check the label just to make sure you heard her right. The place is spotless--like, "you could perform surgery on the countertop" clean--and the back patio has a stunning water view that pairs perfectly with a glass (or three). The bacon-wrapped dates? Little bites of heaven. The pizza? So authentic it makes you start planning a trip to Italy... or at least a return trip here next weekend. Whether you're planning a date night, a social hangout, or just grabbing a bottle for dinner at home, Crush Wines nails it. Funny thing is, you'll come for the wine, but you'll stay for the vibe--and probably leave with a new favorite bottle, a full belly, and the urge to hug Suzanne for being a wine wizard.

The Red Haven Live is a brand new spot that opened in the space formerly occupied by Lauria's…read moreItalian Bar & Bistro. This place is owned by Josh Newcom with his wife Christie and his daughters Dove age 22, Sky age 20 and River age 14. The entire family runs the restaurant and their family band performs on stage as well. The Red Haven Live has a constant stream of live music performers here all the time. Orange Beach does have a decent amount of live music but sadly most of it tends to mainly be cover bands so I hope this spot brings in a LOT more live local music with bands that are playing their unique songs they created themselves. I grew up going to see LOTS of live local music and I got to see some AMAZING bands and it really breaks my heart that these days it seems there are so few bands playing their own stuff. I've been told by a LOT of locals in the area that the crowds of locals and tourists ONLY want cover bands and any band playing their own stuff won't do well but personally I just don't believe that as New Orleans still has LOTS of live local music every night with creative musicians playing their own music to great crowds so if it works great in New Orleans it should work in Orange Beach... I would assume. Currently the main music venues around Orange Beach seem to be Flora-Bama, The Keg and The Red Haven Live and I think The Red Haven Live has the perfect environment to bring in more live music with folks playing their own unique material. Flora-Bama has some local unique music but it gets so crowded it is often really hard to enjoy those performances. During my visits to The Red Haven Live I enjoyed their Newcoms Cowboy Soup, a cheeseburger and pizza along with some iced tea. So you can enjoy some food while you enjoy the live music. I can enjoy some covers but I really need to have a lot more unique music created by bands as otherwise I won't have any new music to buy to add to my collection! Overall this is one the coolest and most unique new spots to open in Orange Beach in quite a long while so make sure to check it out!

This place can lend itself to families or parties because there's plenty to do while you're waiting on your food or just sitting around drinking a cold beer. The atmosphere is better than the Florabama and cleaner. I got the grouper sandwich, a healthy portion and a great taste. Since I'm over critical of my food, I will say that they could throw a few more garnishes like lettuce, tomato, and onion. Don't be scared folks put it on there if we don't want it, we'll take it off. Service is really good at the bar and at the table. I'd go back to this place either on foot or by boat, if you haven't been, it's certainly worth a go. With all the TVs inside, this could be your false spot for Saturday college football.

It's like they sat in a cooler all day and then were served up. Flavor was mid but was reheated after it was cooked, so that is not good. But they should have known this, right? 2) Grilled Chicken Tenders: Not a lick of seasoning, tasted like boiled chicken with no flavor. 3) Pork Belly Tacos: Got two tacos, one had pretty bad pork belly slices and the other, well, was empty. See the photo. Great atmosphere, nice staff, but way off the mark on food quality for 3 out of the 4 meals we had.
