On Alabama's Beaches

If it’s beginning to look a lot like cocktails, that means Happy Hour in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is just around the corner.

March 16, 2022

There are plenty of spots to grab a drink after a long day on the water or exploring the area. Whether you enjoy a craft cocktail, a glass of your favorite red or a flight of craft beer, you’ll find those as well as good eats at some of the beach’s best spots for happy hour.

The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails

You don’t include “cocktails” in your name if you can’t live up to it! The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktail's happy hour specials include $5 appetizers from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and beer, wine and cocktail specials from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Beach House serves seasonal cocktails made with fresh ingredients and juices squeezed daily and house brews on tap. Whether you’re looking for a domestic beer, classics cocktails or coastal favorites, you’ll find it here.

Yoho Rum & Tacos at The Wharf is the ideal happy hour restaurant for drinks and appetizers with a coastal view. This family-friendly spot is known for its fresh tacos, fun atmosphere and signature cocktails. Stop by during happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to get discounted cocktails and beer, and mouthwatering appetizers. Make your trip to Yoho even more exciting and dine outside at their Boat Bar, which is stocked with food, beer, wine, cocktails and drinks to go. It’s the perfect place to grab a drink while enjoying The Wharf.

During happy hour from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Cosmo’s offers discounted cocktails like pineapple sangria and original cosmos for $4 as well as beer and wine specials. Enjoy these tasty drinks with coastal fare such as tuna poke nachos, shrimp toast or blue crab and corn calas. Cosmo’s outdoor deck is perfect for feeling the breeze while treating yourself to a cold beer or coastal cocktail.

If you’re hanging out on Fort Morgan near The Beach Club, be sure and check out Happy Hour at the Village Hideaway Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m.  Domestic bottled beers are $1 off, Mondavi wine by the glass is only $4 and house spirits are $3.50-$4. Pair these spectacular sips with snack specials like a half wrap and soup (Fried Chicken Caesar or Italian Club plus a cup of soup), a Taco Duo or a BBQ Sandwich and Fries.

Ginny Lane's

If you’re at the Wharf, check out Ginny Lane’s Bar & Grill. This restaurant is a hot spot for happy hour fun with daily specials and a great selection of wine and cocktails. Enjoy discounted specialty drinks, beer and wine specials, and $2.50 cocktails such as Cosmopolitans, The Blue Wave, and The Sunset every day from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. While dining here, you’ll also find live local music during most evenings to complement your meal and drinks.

This local spot serves up yummy seafood, handmade cocktails and fresh oysters from all over the country as well as locally sourced boutique oysters.
