After filling up with an excellent complimentary meal we strolled over to this cool little place…read morethat way over to the right of the upper level on the opposite side of Original Oyster House. The name is cool and the sign boasting tropical wines lured us in. I specifically wanted to see if I could find an extraordinary wine that I found last year, somewhere in Mississippi. It was very inexpensive and I recall being intrigued by it at a roadside shop but can't remember where exactly. It was a coconut wine, I know it sounded weird to me too, however it was a delightful light & sweet wine that was super tasty and I want to find it. Sure enough this fun shop has lots of tropical wines, pineapple, mango, orange, apple, peach, pina colada, kiwi and even grapefruit but alas there was no coconut. The gentleman came over and offered to give us some help with his explaination of some of the various vineyards and specifics. Indeed Joe was our tour guide and provided some excellent choices of wine and had quite a few for tasting. While we were browsing we saw a big selection of Purple Toas wines which is a very nice Winery in Paducah, KY that's near our our old sailing home where we raced out sailboats. We did tastings there and really enjoy several of their wines, my favorite is the Black and Bruised and yes Joe's got some and we got some of that to bring home. I also spotted a nice selection of Biltmore wines from another one if my fave wineries in Asheville, NC.i asked for their riesling and yes they have it, so some of that to go. Next it was time to try something new so Joe asked of I like peach, to which I replied "does a bear ...." well I do live me some peach. He faces me a taste of an ice cold peach wine that knocked my socks off, so yes that was out next selection. We tried a couple others before Joe recommended an apple wine that is fermented in old bourbon casks. It was very poignant and reminded me of my sweetheart's favorite single malt scotches soooooo I had to get some of that for her. It's like a fine sipping wine for her, like a nice winter wine is for me :-) They have some other cool stuff in the store like frozen pina coladas made with wine a d sime fun gifts items as well. We racked up some nice selections of favorites and several new ones and now our wine fridge is all filled up. Bottom line: Joe is a very friendly, knowledgeable and fun guy to help you find just the right fun wine for you. I haven't seen this particular variety of fruity wines anywhere else in the area and recommend checking this place out. They do have traditional whites, reds, blancs and blends but the stars are the fruits.

A friend desperately needed to use the bathroom and the woman at the counter was kind enough to show her the way. I don't know if the bathrooms are public or not, but it was very helpful in her time of need. It's the worst when establishments won't let you near the bathrooms, especially if your a mother of a child below the age of 5. Dislikes: It gets 3 stars out of 4 because of price. I stopped in for wine and noticed that all wine bottles are marked about $4 above the grocery store prices in South Carolina. Now, this could be because of taxes but either way... bring your own wine to Alabama.

They have a pretty little appetizer plate with a cream cheese covered with a peach and pepper sauce that's a little spicy. It is beautifully presented with grapes and flowers. Very yummy.

Since Alabama still has no lottery this is the closest place we have for the Florida Lottery, Powerball & Mega Millions, etc. They have a wide selection of liquor, beer, and wine with a nice craft beer section, mixers, and libation extras.

Bottom line: Flora-Bama Liquor & Lotto has got practically alcohol and more plus a nice RUM selection. My kinda place!

We decided to leave but the manager Gabe managed to convince us to stay offering to comp our dinners. While we could've really taken advantage of this offer, we ordered as we normally would. No apps, no desserts, nothing extra. Just 4 entrees and we were good. This gesture was above and beyond and I commend him making it right and that's what got this to 3 stars. The food was mid at best. The fried shrimp was lukewarm when served, the lobster roll was more bread than anything, and the pork chop was tough - overcooked. My whole Moroccan fish was ok - but the waiter failed to ask what side I wanted and just served it with mashed potatoes. Had he asked I would've chosen rice. We already felt we were accommodated so we didn't want to bring any more things up. It's a cool spot and I'm sure there are challenges on a regular basis. It was just an ok experience for us.

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.
