Love coming here when visiting family. Bucky's is tucked inside the beautiful Grand hotel. It has both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking Mobile Bay. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is classy and refined but still feels comfortable. We ordered several cocktails that were all delicious and well proportioned. The olives and almonds, cheese plate and shrimp cocktail was all delicious. It's always a nice time at Buckys! read more

Loved the Classic Hamburger, good meat ,and the server was friendly and prompt. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

Olivia was our server and she made great recommendations for cocktails and desserts. Our party was about eight people and we sat around a fire pit from about 6 PM into the evening and had a wonderful conversation and it was a great evening. read more

Always a great cocktail at Bucky's Lounge! The Grand Mojito was perfect and the husband's mint julep was the best he has had.

We were seated and ordered drinks and an appetizer, it was busy so it too about 20 minutes to receive the order. It took a very long time to be asked for our entree orders, then we were told it was past the time that we could order entrees and we could only get the after hours appetizers read more

Bucky's Lounge at The Grand Hotel is a perfect spot for outdoor drinks and time with family and friends! We always plan a night around the outdoor fire pits during out visits to The Grand and highly recommend you do the same! Excellent drink and wine menu. My personal favorite is "Point Clear of Stress" and I get one every trip. It's a delicious tropical drink that always makes me feel like I'm on vacation with it's mix of vodka, rum, peach schnapps, orange & pineapple juice. Food was a bit hit or miss during our last trip. Things to definitely get: crab claws, Artesian Cheeses plate, Romaine salad, Ty's Fries (loaded French fries). The sandwiches were all a bit underwhelming this so I'd suggest skipping them in favor of splurging on fried crab claws and craft cocktails. Our server was lovely. She was supper attentive, pleasant to talk to and checked in on us frequently. Finally, if you are at the Grand in the fall (September/October), stop at the gardens in front of Bucky's Lounge to see the monarch Butterfly migration...it's spectacular! read more

Such a perfect place to hang out and grab a few drinks to watch the sunset. Bonus if you can grab a fire pit table. The service was wonderful. The food was pretty good, however the view, vibes, and service make it well worth going! read more

David is in!!!!!! A great place to entertain friends and family. David provides piano and sax like nobody else. If you go Thursday and Friday probably see you there. read more

We stayed at the Grand hotel and wanted a light meal. Oddly no oysters available within a Stones Throw of the ocean. It was a rainy night. Good night to stay in at the hotel. We shared a cheeseburger and fries. Just OK or a little less than OK. Wouldn't make a special trip here. Disappointing considering the otherwise high standards of this classic hotel. read more

Bucky's Birdcage Lounge, located on Point Clear Resort at Grand Hotel Marriott Resort in Fairhope, AL is a fabulous lounge both inside and out. I'm not going to include the Grand Hotel review here, but it is a crown jewel of the area and I'll have to make a few more visits here to get into that. Last weekend we had fantastic Sunday cocktails with some very special friends & neighbors!! But before I talk about this lovely facility I must share Bucky's story ....... Hospitality Legend Aura J."Bucky" Miller passed away at age 85 after 61 Years at the Grand Hotel Marriot. (1917 - 2002) Bucky began his career at the Grand on April 18, 1941, the first day the hotel reopened and had become a fixture at the resort, where he greeted guests with a hearty, booming welcome. He developed a renowned ability to remember names, and regularly surprised guests with a personalized greeting upon their return. Bucky indeed was a legend in the hospitality industry. He maintained the Grand Life, made personal connections, and is part of their rich and storied traditions. The United States Congress and seven southern states have passed resolutions honoring him. In 2002, The Alabama Department of Tourism recognized Miller as one of Alabama s Unforgettable Faces. Bucky served as bartender and server for the majority of his career in the Birdcage Lounge. He spent his last 12 years at The Grand as the hotel's Hospitality Ambassador, meeting and greeting guests. He became such a familiar figure to guests that the hotel's lounge was named after him ... Buckys Lounge. There's a life-size bronze statue of Bucky Miller sculpted by local artist Barbaro Casey. Bucky s Dedication Celebration took place on May 7, 2005. The Grand Hotel embraces the unparalleled and gracious southern hospitality that he represented. It's quite the remarkable story, of a remarkable man, that I'm certain I would have loved to get to know, but once I read and reread it somehow I could feel his presence, very cool. Okay, there are some great drinks, great food, with small plates like Heirloom tomato and Smoked Fish Dip, and friendly, professional, and attentive staff here. Whether your inside and listening or dancing to the piano player or outdoors during the day with a fabulous view of Mobile Bay or at night the firepits, it's pretty tough not really have a very nice time. The sunsets are pretty darn nice here, and I'm all about sunsets so yeah. The place is gorgeous, easy access and I suggest you look 'em up because if you are in the area this is a very cool place anytime of the day or night that they're open. I suggest valet for your car and they validate it for you inside. Bottom line: It's really hard beat the the relaxed, upscale vibe at Bucky's with the great libations, music, food, friendly people and views of the hotel grounds and the Bay. Highly recommended! website: https://www.grand1847.com/dining#BuckysLounge facebook: https://www.facebook.com/405738649479304/ HOURS: Monday thru Thursday 5:00pm - 10:00pm (Food Service) 5:00pm - Midnight (Bar Service) Friday 4:00pm - 10:00pm (Food Service 4:00pm - Midnight (Bar Service) Saturday & Sunday 11:00am - 10:00pm (Food Service) 11:00am - Midnight (Bar Service) read more

Took my daughter for her birthday, it was truly a magical evening. Our server was amazing, the appetizers and food were wonderful. Look forward to another vis read more

Great service and great food. The ambiance is relaxing and a nice way to end the day.

Even though their shrimp caesar salad was almost $18, it was satisfying. Of course, the markup in price had to do with the name of the hotel. The lounge itself was very pretty. Every table you could have sat in, had a great view of the ocean. There was a great variety of drinks, and customers who were there mainly to enjoy the view. The staff was excellent. Even in the midst of overpriced simple food items, sometimes, it just takes wonderful customer service, a great atmosphere, and a solid menu to make a restaurant. I was in a hurry, and the employees still treated me like a star. My food was handled with care, and they made sure I was happy with what I had. read more

Take a trip into high society for a few hours and still be totally and completely comfortable and at ease at Bucky's. It's a classy bar, but not at all pretentious. After all, The Grand did change the name of this bar in memory of their beloved long-time bartender/hospitality ambassador, Bucky. We go for drinks every few months and have never had an unpleasant experience; quite the opposite actually. Everyone there is so friendly. The bartenders are exceptionally nice and attentive. The staff is always fun and interesting to carry on conversations with, and so are the other patrons we've met. Seriously, the drinks are amazing! My favorite there is the strawberry mojito. It's my go-to. My hubby usually opts for some type of bourbon. That's his go-to, and they carry the good stuff. This is where we went for drinks the night before our wedding. I had two bottles of rose' that night. Never again. The soon-to-be hubs had the Crown Royal Black. The bar also sells cigars and you can smoke them out on the patio. None of that low-class "cigarettes welcome, cigars are not" stuff at Bucky's. The food is good and reasonable for what it is. I mean, it's bar food, but you're at The Grand Hotel, not a dive bar. In the evenings they have a pianist playing the grand piano in the bar. They can play anything and they take requests. The night before we got married the pianist played From Dixie With Love for us. There's plenty of seating around the bar, more comfortable and private seating in the area I would call the sunroom, and plenty of seating outside under the covered patio as well. There's a bocce ball area and a statue of Bucky out in the lawn by the bar patio. This is probably our favorite place to have a drink. Trust me when I say Bucky's will not disappoint! read more

Nice bourbon selection, efficient but not warm staff. Live piano player that uses a bit too much drum machine, but a lovely view of the bay in an overall delightful property. Interesting and good tapas menu. read more

Great service, atmosphere and cocktails! This place is a classic. I have been coming here for years and am never disappointed. We especially enjoy the patio area. read more

This "bar" is an upscale lounge attached to the hotel. It's full of stuffed shirts, if that's what you're into. There's a piano player at night that literally plays "Piano Man"... which has to be the epitome of cliche. Do I really have more to say about it? No. Bullit bourbon. Bad music. Old people. Comfy chairs for the elderly... read more

Yelp has the location incorrectly placed on the map. The lounge is in the Grand Hotel. The address is correct. The location marker is wrong. ****Location market has been moved to the correct location. read more

Great view, cocktails, food. This is a great location to meet up with friends for an informal meeting or just a place to hang out and have a quick snack. read more

Very cool little part of the bigger resort. You have to try the hamburger and the shrimp quesadilla. Also it has live music at night.

It used to have such a cozy ambiance and an elegant rustic decoration inside the lobby and bar area. Now it has a horrible "trying to be modern" style with no ambiance. Very sad to see this. read more

I always loved this place. Haven't been in a while but hey have great selections even if everything is a bit pricey for my taste. Great staff. I loved all the cool Jamaican employees. read more

Came here for a Kentucky Derby party and was overall fairly pleased. The bar staff was attentive and friendly, and they did have a couple tv's airing the Derby. We only had a couple drinks, but I was fairly impressed with the bourbon selection (please add Bulleit). When the lady asked what blend made up the red wine, the bartender didn't know, but then again, I probably wouldn't either. We looked at grabbing dinner here but after seeing the limited selection, decided to try another restaurant on the premises. The area is fairly small and could be quaint. I wish someone was playing the piano on a Saturday night... read more

The staff understands the nostalgia and history of this hotel. I was pampered and served in a Grand kind of way. Accept the Birdcage culture. First class all the way. read more

Great variety of drinks. Nice live music and 7 televisions. Love it! The service is friendly and welcoming. Large outdoor space with outdoor fireplaces are very cozy. read more

Bucky's Birdcage Lounge - Grand mojito...Yummy!!! - Lounges Near Me - Point Clear, Alabama

Started out requesting couple of drinks, this request was met with somewhat of an attitude. By end of the evening requested two Grasshoppers drinks. The female bartender from earlier asked me if I was 80 years old for requesting the drinks. My wife returning from the bathroom room overheard her further making derogatory comments to her co-workers. Food was good. Service was not so hot based on the comments. More professional female bartenders would be a plus. Had it not been for the exceptionally talented pianist we would not have stayed an hour. Keep the pianist get rid of the bartender. read more

We stopped by for an after wedding cocktail. It was a busy Saturday night. But the service was outstanding. They were definitely busy but everyone was getting good service. The view was great and the beer is cold read more

Love the feeling of this place, especially after a long day. However, year after year the service continues to be sub-par. I just don't understand how this classic bar can be so neglected by management, I would have my "A Team" in here, not my scrubs. read more

Order the Kobe burger and it was skinny and over cooked. Service was slow and inattentive. I won't come back.

We ordered two different burgers, $17.95 each, they came late and we're both the same! We just ate them as others around us had problems with their orders as well. Poor service and food for an over priced amount for what you eventually get. read more

We waited 20 mins in the bar and not one staff Member acknowledged us. We left with no service. On the way out We told the front desk about it and they still charged me for valet parking. No drinks no food but still had to pay. read more
