We went for lunch and had to run the dogs home first after bad intel from another Yelp review. The space is so unique and fun. Many spaces offer nice views of the water and the beach is right there. There are plenty of opportunities for live music and other fun activities such as bingo. I tried their Bloody Mary and it was fine. Nothing special. My fiance had the Reese's bushwhacker and it was awesome!!! The oysters were maybe the saddest I've ever had in my life. So small and flavorless. My advice would be to skip those! The birria bites were delicious and so were the pretzel bites. Overall, a nice experience!

The vibes of this restaurant are great. Very lively and upbeat. It was Easter Sunday, so the kids received treat bags with Easter eggs filled with candy. That was so nice. I had the smothered snapper. It was phenomenal! It was flavorful, light, and flaky. My husband had the ultimate boil with snow crab. He enjoyed it and the trough of garlic butter for dipping. The kids also enjoyed their food. Now to the shenanigans...so much fun! The kids loved dancing on the tables. All of the staff were so fun and friendly! Loved the music and the DJ. The kids loved playing outside, the foam party, and we all loved the live music. This is the ultimate spring break stop. We didn't try the gelato, but maybe next time.

Service was a little slow, but they were packed. Our server was so kind and delightful. I had a bushwhacker as my first drink and it was delicious. We started with queso and salsa and both were good. For my main I had the catch of the day blackened. I can't remember what type of fish it was, but it was light and flaky. Zero fishiness. The hush puppies that came with were also delicious. I asked my server to surprise me with my second drink and she brought be a frozen peach drink that was spectacular. We had a great experience at Lulu's. It was really helpful that there's a lot to do while you wait for a table. They also have free ice water available in the waiting area and we found this extremely helpful. This is a great spring break spot. Live music, lots of seating, and good food and drink. This is our second location of Lulu's restaurants and we enjoy visiting them.

The Wharf Amphitheater is one of my favorite music venues. I have been to several other, much…read morelarger venues in Maryland and Virginia, but the size of The Wharf's Amphitheater is amazing! It only seats around 10,000 but it never feels so crowded that you are like a sardine (though the bench seating can feel cramped at times). The entry and exits are easy to transit through -- security lines have never been more than a few minutes for us. One of our favorite parts of The Wharf Amphitheater is the large acts that come in, while it still feels like a small town concert with a few thousand close friends. We have seen Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Jimmy Buffett, Walker Hayes, Dierks Bentley, Lainey Wilson, Ingrid Andress, Hardy and more. Not to mention a few others that we missed but who have also played here recently: Jelly Roll and Alabama. I have only sat in the 100 or 200 section, as well as stood in the pit. I prefer the Pit (standing room only) or section 100 (foldable chair), but sections 200 and 300 are benches, so they can feel a little cramped at times. We have never sat up in the 300 section, but our friends have said it's still a great view of the entire show. There is not a bad seat in the house (from my experience). You have a great view of the stage, and even from the last row, you're closer to the stage than other venues. The ticket prices fluctuate depending on the act, but from my past concert experience, The Wharf Amphitheater ticket prices are below the norm. While not unexpected, the prices of food and drinks are high and have been increasing. It's expected that prices are going to be high, so my wife and I will normally just grab a large bag of kettle corn (only $11) and one drink which is a pretty good deal for us. Some of the other prices are a bit higher -- but we are willing to pay them if we are looking to add to our experience. I have never seen any rowdiness or security issues that normally come with drinking, fun, and loads of people. It's is overall a very chill venue but a great time to party. Even though parking can be a little difficult to find closer to the start of the concert, anytime my wife and I have arrived at/before the gates opening (usually 5:30), we have been able to find parking less than 100' from one of the gates. Even still, we have never not been able to find a parking spot, though we may have to walk a bit. And leaving is actually a pretty smooth process so matter where you parked or where you are heading. We can get from our seats and back on the main road away from traffic in ~20-30 minutes. Just be sure to check out the parking guide (https://alwharf.com/amphitheater/directions-parking) so you park in the right area for the easiest departure.

The music from Whiskey Myers and The Black Crowes was solid, but the crowd at this venue was a…read moretotal trainwreck.The only saving graces were that parking was easy and free, and the cheap $30 ticket price makes it hard to stay truly angry. On the bright side, the drink lines were incredibly short, though that likely just fueled the chaos around us. This was easily the trashiest event I have ever attended.The heat was brutal for late May, and the venue's setup did nothing to help. The port-a-johns were pitch-black dark inside. On the walk back to our car, we even passed two different people completely passed out in the grass.The absolute breaking point happened during the concert itself. People were constantly smoking right behind us, and we ended up leaving two songs into the finale because the couple directly in front of us was actively about to engage in full-on intercourse right there in the crowd.Save your money and your sanity. If you come here, pay extra for premium seating to get away from the chaos, or just put on a CD and stay at home.

Weather permitting, it's usually a great afternoon sampling beers from all over the Southeast, as well as a few from all over the globe. If you can keep your cool in the hot Coastal weather, you'll have a great time mingling with home brewers, beer advocates and lushes while you sip on everything from American-style pilsners to Belgian trippels. There's even food and live music. If you're nice, you can pick up some great free schwag from the brewers, too.

I always found the friendly staff and patrons here made this joint a pleasure to experience. They had fantastic burgers which were the best in Alabama to me! They also upgraded their menu from the New Orleans location by offering some amazing seafood platters. The live music nights had seemed to be getting very popular and I enjoyed all my visits here. Unfortunately I noticed that they didn't reopen after labor day and then I saw their signs get taken down and when I looked at the door there was a sign announcing that dmac's was closed. Overall, I hope they find a new spot and open again as they really were doing some great things!

But now it's DMAC's Bar & Grill and like their other location, in New Orleans, is known for its live music, great atmosphere, and tasty food. Indeed they feature some of the best local musicians and bands every night of the week, which is a great idea.  Along with the entertainment, their kitchen serves up hearty grilled burgers, pulled pork, ribs, and sides. The only seafood here is a shrimp remoulade over chips, but 8 different kinds of burgers, with BBQ brisket, pork, ribs, and chicken served different ways and some good apps so it's basically a BBQ joint.  The atmosphere at DMAC's is lively, welcoming, and good for a night out with friends, neighbors , or family. I just brought our Friends & Neighbors Friday group here today and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. DJ Kev was providing entertainment, always good, and our host manager Stephanie took great care of our group as well as our server Madison, thank you! You can also catch the latest sports games on TV while enjoying their full bar.  DMAC's Bar & Grill is open for lunch, with daily specials, and dinner, plus a Sunday brunch and piano bar. Bottom line: If you're looking for a place to kick back, enjoy some fantastic music and food, and soak up the Orange Beach vibe, DMAC's Bar & Grill is a spot might want to try!

I've been on three balloon rides, so I was there for the balloon glow experience. I was a bit disappointed as I had envisioned all the balloons being lit at once and then having them reflect from the water. That was not the case. I'm not sure if it was a safety issue or just something that was not coordinated. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and quite beautiful.
