Question: Where to watch games in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach?

[TideFan40]

I will be in Gulf Shores for the Va Tech game...anyone have suggestions as to where to go to watch the game? I'm looking for a good Bama atmosphere as well as decently priced drinks

Thanks in advance....RTR

It's been awhile since I have been over in that direction, but my first suggestion would be the Flora Bama. FWIW.

I know nothing about the Mobile/Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area, but hopefully this will help:

I'd send an email to the chapter president asking where the fans meet up at to watch games in the area you'll be in. I'm fairly certain anywhere you go will be flooded with 'Bama fans though.

Hooters Gulf Shores. Cold beer, lots of, um, TVs.

Anywhere in that beautiful place is a good spot to watch.

go get some shrimp from Budreaux's and watch it from the luxury of wherever it is you're staying.

I suggest Rafter's at The Wharf in Orange Beach - great wings and cold beer.

Tacky Jacks in Orange Beach.

I second Hooter's....for the wings. Yeah, the wings.

I second that. I watched the Ole Sis game there last year. Good atmosphere, good food and the Miller Lite referees showed up and passed out lots of free stuff.

Sounds good. Thanks for all of the help.

A little north of there at Point Clear, AL along the mobile bay, the Grand Hotel has an outside bar with big screen tv's and firepits after dark. It's a cool place to watch football and the stars during the tv timeouts.

Glad I saw this thread before it dropped too far down.
I would avoid Rafters as they are the official Auburn bar down here.
While there is no "official" Alabama bar down here, all bars show Bama games.
Many of us meet at Indigo Joe's in the Pelican Place Shopping Center at the corner of Hwy 58 and County Rd 4 next to the Cobb theater.
And if you want to listen to the pre-game on the radio, it's 92.1 the Zew

Been here all week, across from the Hooters, 12 son year old wants to go. Get you a guide book and it will give all the info you need. A lot of LSU folks here, but they are mostly quite when I walk by. Fanatic Fanz in Orange beach is a great store. Very nice pictures of Coach Bryant. Got some nice shirts/caps.

Yes the owners are Auburn fans, i know them pretty well. But my sister works there and is a HUGE bama fan (after all she did grow up with me - if she isn't' at the game with me - its because she'll have to work - so she would want all the bama fans in there she can get - so go to Rafters plus it's good food, good atmosphere, and lots of tvs.

besides, if winning it might be fun to watch with auburn fans

but if you have problems with rafters, there are a couple of other sports bars in the wharf you can walk to

I watched a game at Live Bait once. Big projection TV and Coke in frosty bottles. I also second Indigo Joe's but don't let your lady wander down the street to Kay jewelers.
