I love Top of the Bay! Seriously, who IS this horse-faced Avery chick? Girl must be the Yelp…read moreequivalent of a professional hater--she drops a 1-star review faster than a drunk uncle drops his beer at a wedding. Probably mad because the barstools don't come with a personal therapist to listen to her complaints. Meanwhile, the rest of us are living our best lives: the atmosphere is straight-up electric (in a good way, not like that one time the jukebox shorted out), the booze flows like it's happy hour in heaven--wine? Nah, we're talking bottomless vibes and top-shelf pours that make you forget what day it is. The staff? Absolute legends. They remember your drink before you remember your own name, and they do it with smiles bigger than the Mobile Bay itself. And the events? Non-stop party central: * Wednesdays: Line dancing so fun you'll forget you have two left feet (spoiler: everyone does after shot #3). * Fridays: Live bands that slap harder than your ex's bad decisions. * Saturdays & Sundays: Karaoke where your off-key rendition of "Sweet Caroline" somehow becomes the highlight of the night--bonus points if you dedicate it to Avery for the motivation. Plus, outdoor music perfect for pretending you're in a music video while actually just spilling your drink on your shoes. It's the ultimate spot to grab a cold one, mingle like you're auditioning for a rom-com, and meet new people who are actually fun (unlike certain reviewers). The regulars? Pure gold. They'll hook you up with every hidden gem, event, and questionable life choice happening in Baldwin County faster than you can say "another round." Bottom line: If you're looking for a good time in Daphne, Top of the Bay is where it's at. Avery can stay home reviewing her own fridge if she wants--more barstools for the rest of us party animals!

Listen. This is probably the best hometown bar I have ever been to…read more I am a 42 year old WOMAN who enjoys coming to this bar. I come with my husband, so I haven't ever had the experiences as OTHER women (please see the lot lizard that left the one star review on 3/13) of being put in my place and told no when attempting to seduce a SIGNIFICANTLY older man (ohmygod its like I was there...) I also don't tend to laugh like a loud congested hyena, so maybe that doesn't hinder my view on the joint. The bartenders Morgan, Christina, John and Emma are all amazing. They all pay attention to you, regardless of whats between your legs. Please give this bar a chance. Just dont sit where we sit, or play shitty music please. Thank you!

We just attended a get-together with the Facebook group "Baldwin County Foodies" and were impressed…read morewith this quaint locally owned and operated business, full name "Le Bouchon Wine and Tapas Bar". It's in the "downtown" section of Daphne, which is pretty small but easy to find. It's parallel to Hwy 98 on scenic 98. Speaking of small, there are a couple of comfy seating areas, with couches and chairs, high-top tables, and a small bar. Upon entering we noticed the shotgun shake elongated space but it's very laid back and intimate with a nice atmosphere and vibe. Despite the limited space, they had a dude playing guitar and singing by the front door, nice and mellow too. There's a respectable choice of wines, but not overdone like some of the more pretentious places plus they have several craft beers, beers on tap and sparkling fizzy choices. Good news, if you're not a connoisseur you can also sample some of the wines, nice touch. We were greeted by Jessica, she rocked, and she guided us through the specials and all about the wines and foods. She took excellent care of us throughout the visits and made it a joy. While they had a bbq chicken slider being made that was not on the menu, and it sounded good, we got a flatbread pizza and the roasted red pepper hummus with pita bread and veggies. Both were outstanding, fresh, and a very good pairing for my sweetheart's wine and the stout beer that I chose. However, I regretted not getting their huge and inviting-looking charcuterie board, it's loaded full of different cheeses, olives, meats, and more, next time for sure. I got to meet quite a few people from our group, everyone seemed to enjoy their choices of food and libations so I feel pretty good that everyone enjoyed themselves and I look forward to doing it again real soon! Big shout out to Chace Yamagata for making it all happen, way to go!!!!!!! Bottom line: The atmosphere, friendly people, and great service, with creative and fresh food offerings and course the wines make this a really great place anytime. Chill time especially and I highly recommend chillin' here! https://www.lebouchon.biz/ https://www.facebook.com/LeBouchonBar

Passing through from out of town. We decided to spend the night in Daphne, and after some research…read morewe ultimately decided Le Bouchon was the perfect place for a date night following a long drive from Houston, TX. My fiancée and I shared a bottle of wine along with a few tapas. We engaged in great conversation with the staff and felt so welcomed. My only regret is us having to leave so soon. I highly recommend Le Bouchon if you are looking for a place with great wine, great conversation, and great food. I can't thank the staff enough for making us out-of-towners feeling so welcome. If we are ever in town again I know we will definitely stop by. Thank you!!

It's nicer than other places around town, but I don't find it to be as "upscale" as they claim…read more It's as if it doesn't know what it wants to be having so many TVs around. Is it a sports bar? Is it a wine-liquor bar? The jukebox on the wall kind of threw us for a loop as it loudly played tons of country, sometimes repeating songs, then R&B. Decor was pretty in its colors, but once there it screamed "look upscale at cheapest options possible". Tables are laminate, floors appear laminate, but the bathrooms appear to be of higher quality options. Certain drink ingredients requested weren't available. (The server didn't know what allspice dram was; the bartender didn't even know what allspice dram was, let alone have it.) A friend requested a particular tequila, but they don't have it. He then requested a particular mezcal, and the server suggested something else. I sought out two particular Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but they don't have either of those either. I ordered an Old Fashioned made with rum instead of whiskey. I was disappointed with how sweet the drink was. After watching the bartender it's as if she's not pouring to the top of the jigger, indicating under-pouring. Maybe because "it's messy" to pour it complete. So I ordered a margarita next, thinking it's harder to mess that up-- if it wasn't great, then that tells me a lot about this place. The margarita was soooo heavy on mixer/lime juice. I don't know that I'll want to come back for cocktails. The menu and execution were both underwhelming. But hey, the decor is kind of pretty... Again, it is nicer than other options around town, but it isn't what we expected compared to what we're used to. When you sell yourself as "upscale," customers expect upscale.

Get comfortable...it's gonna be a while!…read more After my third visit, figured I had given it plenty of chances. The ambiance is great, cool set up and comfortable chairs (and you're gonna need them for the service time). Even with staff admitted "slow night," very slow service. Servers often seen on their phones rather than checking to see if another round was needed. Let down because this place could be a slam dunk. When I've eaten the food it's been good, but pricey. There's also a VIP section with sofas and chairs but a sign listed it as $50/person.

He also made sure we knew that they were featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. We started with the Seared Tuna Nachos, Sautéed Mussels and Fried Crab Claws (not on the menu). I didn't try the Nachos, but the Sautéed Mussels and Fried Crab Claws were great. For my entree, I had the Blackened Gulf Snapper Throats. They were excellent. For beer with the appetizers I had the Southern Prohibition Devil's Harvest IPA and for my cocktail with dinner, I had the Apple of My Eye. It was delicious.

The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.

They were hot and cooked to perfection. I had the lemon pepper dry rub and my friend had the hot - no complaints. Their fries are seasoned and curly. We have never been disappointed!!
