Pleasure Island Tiki Bar at Sportsman Marina
From there, take your personal pub crawl to the Pleasure Island Tiki Bar, just about a mile west on Canal Road. This tiki, overlooking Terry Cove, is picture-potent! You can bring a big party here; there is plenty of seating; first-come, first-served. Band favorites include Al & Cathy whose classic rock can sound like a full band thanks to great harmonies, Al’s guitar and Cathy’s expertise on flute, mandolin and percussion.

While in Orange Beach, don’t pass up The Wharf, a tourist-friendly destination with at least five live-music venues. Ginny Lane is directly on the marina, so you can bar hop here without ever touching a street.

Andy Brasher Band
Flora-Bama Lounge, Package, and Oyster Bar
No musical tour of Coastal Alabama is complete without a stop at the rambling roadhouse, Flora-Bama. The Irishman jokes that after Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina, they built back the beachside ‘Bama with plywood costing just three hundred and forty-two dollars. Actually, the legend-packed ‘Bama is looking great these days with two indoor stages and one tent stage, offering live music as early as noon or so and running straight through till 2 or 3 a.m.
When all three stages are rocking, you can go from one to another with favorite drink in-hand and hear a range of Country to Rock. Check out a few of the best, Lea Anne Creswell, The Smokin’ Elvis’s, and Perdido Brothers, who play the ‘Bama every week. Ready to stay up late? You’ll love bands like Whyte Caps and Tyler Mac playing 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Tips from a Local:
1 - The Flora-Bama has the most amazing liquor vault, and you can peek in just down from the men’s room near the Main Stage. It’s worth a minute to see how your drink goes from there to your glass!
2 - Keep an eye out for the kilted young man who keeps things running smooth as Irish whiskey! You can tell that manager/sound-guru Compton Smith loves his Scottish heritage: he wears one of his many kilts every day of the year; and he loves to pose for pictures
