    Charcuterie board, Austin hope cab, and old fashioned.
    Eileen S.

    I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our evening here! We came in on a Wednesday evening and were surprised to find out that all bottles of wine and charcuterie boards were half price! And I must say they have a beautiful wine list! I went for my favorite the Austin Hope Cab. Hubby also tried the black Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. Their drinks are deliciously hand crafted. I will say the cocktails are pricey but they do put a lot of effort in to them. We will definitely be back. Bartenders and ambience were wonderful as well.

    Here with my honey & daughter for our last night out before returning home. Cocktails & piano on a Tuesday, Cheers!

    It was our last night out with our daughter so we wanted to take some unique and quite frankly mysterious spot she didn't know about, actually it is not well known by design.  I'm writing this review and unveiling the mystery of Orange Beach's Hidden Speakeasy. Tucked away behind a vault door at The Wharf in Orange Beach, AL, lies 8 Reale OBAL, a captivating speakeasy that combines the allure of a bygone era with the sophistication of modern mixology. Named after the historic Spanish coin commonly found in Gulf Coast shipwrecks, 8 Reale OBAL offers a unique, exclusive experience for those seeking a taste of mystery and refinement. Inspired by the secretive watering holes of the Prohibition era, this hidden gem transports patrons to a time when clandestine gatherings and expertly crafted cocktails reigned supreme. 8 Reale OBAL's atmosphere is a blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance, providing an intimate setting for guests to unwind and savor an extensive selection of inventive libations. The skilled mixologists at 8 Reale OBAL take pride in their craft, curating a menu that caters to diverse tastes, from the classics to more adventurous, contemporary concoctions. Sip on a timeless Old Fashioned or Sidecar, Hemingway Daiquiri, or Rusty Nail or explore the world of innovative, locally inspired cocktails that showcase the bounty of Alabama's Gulf Coast. There's a truly impressive wine selection here, as well, from 20 yr old Ports to fine Château Mouton Rothschild, First Growth, Bordeaux 2015. They also offers a unique cigar collection tailored to suit a wide range of preferences. To make your experience even more enjoyable, they have a patio area where you can savor your charcuterie board and cigar while taking in the picturesque views of Orange Beach. There's comfortable seating, fire pits, and a small bar to serve guests in style.  As with any true speakeasy, 8 Reale OBAL cultivates an air of secrecy and exclusivity that sets it apart from the typical bar scene in Orange Beach. Access is not immediately apparent, and the hidden vaulted door provides a sense of mystery that only enhances the overall experience. For me, a key part of this atmosphere is the live piano music that graces the establishment. The presence of a beautiful Yamaha grand piano in the corner of the bar with crystal chandelier adds to the sophisticated ambiance. The combination of expertly mixed cocktails, luxurious furnishings, and live music creates an atmosphere of elegance and exclusivity making 8 Reale OBAL a sought-after destination for those looking to indulge in the finer things in life. Bottom line: 8 Reale OBAL is more than just a speakeasy, it's a testament to the art of craft cocktails and the intrigue of a bygone era. A visit to this hidden treasure promises a unique and unforgettable experience that unveils the mysteries of Orange Beach's most elusive watering hole. 8 Reale OBAL is open from 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM, offering ample opportunity to immerse oneself in the captivating world of speakeasy culture. For more information on this hidden gem, visit their website at https://www.8realeobal.com or follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/8realeobal for the entry code, updates, events, and a glimpse into the enigmatic world of 8 Reale OBAL. Hint: There's no sign, but look for the open door at Frank & Co Jewelers, next to Ginny Lane's, walk inside and wave your hand over the lighted red button, on the wall, go through that door and then you'll find the vault door. Make sure to look for the day's combination in their Facebook page. (Talk about your hidden gem, this one is the real deal)

    We were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience at Ginny Lane. I was hoping for fresh…read moreseafood but was slightly disappointed to discover they had a Brunch menu. But it is amazing what $1 mimosas and $3 Bloody Marys can cure. There was very nice duo playing light '70s rock - very good overall. The mimosas and Bloody Mary were good and service spot on. My crab and spinach omelette was good - lots of crab meat but spinach could have been wilted a slight bit more. Hubby's steak and eggs - the steak was more well done than the medium he asked for but still tasty and tender.

    We came here for dinner after reading several great reviews, but unfortunately left feeling a bit…read moredisappointed. We started with a cocktail and the spicy blue crab dip, both of which were excellent and a great way to begin the meal. We also ordered the meat and cheese board, which was decent but felt fairly basic for the price. The cheese and jalapeño focaccia was flavorful and enjoyable as well. For the main course, I ordered the New York strip with crab cakes. The steak was cooked properly but lacked seasoning and flavor, requiring quite a bit of salt. The crab cakes were also underwhelming and not something I would order again. My stepson ordered the kids' Alfredo, which tasted more like plain macaroni and ended up being so bland that he barely ate it. My husband had the bacon BBQ shrimp and enjoyed it, although I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Considering the overall quality of the food, the meal did not feel worth the price we paid. That said, our server was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has a fun atmosphere. They also offer live music on certain nights, which adds to the experience. Overall, while there were a few highlights, the food didn't quite live up to our expectations.
