MudBugs Pub - The grand entrance to mud bugs. - Pubs Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

You must must must try the Rockefeller dip, especially if you enjoy spicy food. It is fantastic. The wings are always delicious and exactly what I am expecting and wanting. But today we ordered the dip, and holy moly!!! It's delicious and I've not had anything quite like it. Ok... let's talk about Mud Bugs as a bar. The staff works together and they lift each other up and they're having fun doing it. The drinks are great and you cannot beat the prices. Karaoke inside, Doug(!!!) playing live in front, watch a game in the back there's a vibe for everyone. For the transient and the locals this is a fun, safe place to be. read more

MudBugs Pub - ROCKEFELLER DIP, Hot wangz!!!! - Pubs Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

The Oysters with a special sauce to enhance the taste was awesome. Another time I ordered their smash burger a delicious burger bite properly seasoned that was crisp on the outside was truly perfection. Both meals were top shelf. I have to name some of my servers and bar tenders that have made my visits fun: Dayna, Jessica and Holly! Have to mention the Bingo games on Monday at 6. My husband and I had a ball. read more

Karaoke on a Saturday night on a festival weekend? Absolutely awful decision. Charging $10 cover to hear people sing shitty slow music - even worse. Sand in My Boots had a myriad of DJs to choose from - including myself. Terrible decision to not have poppin' music for a Saturday night. The bike taxi cabs had more lit music than this place. read more

If you want a stuffy atmosphere with fancy drinks... move along and be well. Trey, Taco, Amanda, and every person running the bar provide a place where alllll walks of life can go and let loose and be safe. Dive bars have the real peeps - and this one is exceptional. I hope it never changes. Cheers until next visit read more

I'm so thankful I didn't read the the reviews or prejudge going to this club. My hubs wanted to stay in and watch football and I wanted to karaoke. Well....I'm on vacation, so I got a Lyft driver and went to MudBugs. I had a blast singing karaoke, and the dj was great. Maybe it's because I'm born and raised in TN, but being alone was not a problem and I was only expecting to have fun, and I did. I didn't want to sit all alone, so I joined a couple sitting at a table. Turned out they are from TN also, and I had so much fun! Try kindness, young people. Reviews are great, but try not to prejudge and expect the worst. I'm 54 and I had fun with everyone. I didn't see any drugs, and nothing was slipped in my drink either. Jules, a bartender inside, reminded me of Wynonna Judd. Thatcher was the outside bartender and called me a cab when I was ready to go. Thanks for a fun night, MudBugs! read more

Good drinks good service nice place to hang out. The people were nice. Live music and karaoke.

I've been on two trips to Gulf Shores now, and MudBugs is always a highlight. We're November visitors and therefore not coming in high season, so we probably have a very different experience than people coming here to party in the summer. We haven't had our credit cards stolen, and nobody in our group has been drugged to our knowledge. The two people who run karaoke have voices of angels and the bar is very accepting of anyone willing to make an attempt at a performance. We paid $5/person as a cover at the entrance and were able to come in immediately; no wait at the bar for service. Our bartender was hilarious and we may have received some airdropped pictures from her by the end of the night. I'd love to call her out for her spectacular service, but I'm pretty sure she kept giving us all different fake names. Are there good cocktails? No. We somehow got sold some no-sugar cocktail-in-a-box that was supposedly 90 calories (it was 4 servings of 120 calories). Is this a classy joint? No, it is not. Are there some suspicious clientele? Yes. Did we hate our lives the next morning? Yes. However, our beach crew had a blast screaming karaoke at each other and dancing until we piled into possibly the only Uber left in off-season Gulf Shores and wandered home. read more

A great bar!! Had karaoke and everyone was super nice! Our whole group had an absolute blast here! The only thing is the bathrooms weren't the best... but would absolutely go again!! read more

Walked 20 min here and victor said they were closed when website said they were open til 3 am. Some dude in a Washington jersey walked out and tried to say they made last call. And proceeded to let 2 girls in. Terrible place. read more

Mud bugs!!!! We love you!! Especially zaddy the bartender what a kind soul! Took great care of me & my girls on a bachelorette trip! He even got rid of creepy guys for us. Shout out zaddy!! Karaoke is so fun there we loved it so much we came back the next night!! Will definitely be back read more

This was the worst karaoke place or restaurant/bar I have ever gone too. We had to pay a 5 dollar fee. We had to pay a 5 dollars fee before we could even go in too look at. As soon as we opened the door it has the strongest Sewer smell I have ever smelt. I went into the bathroom and i about three up, it was so strong, I had to go so bad . Looked at the restaurant it was filled with nobody was there, We ended up leaving and they didn't even giv e us our money back. We was there 3 minutes. I would not dare try the food. we left immediately. I paid 5 dollars and could not even use the bathroom. I don't know how this place is still open. . read more

This joint has been around for awhile and it seems to attract a lot of locals due to the awesomeness that they seem to stay open later than a lot of the other area establishments that cater more to locals (unfortunately not New Orleans late but later than most places in these parts). They have karaoke here and it is... interesting to say the least as karaoke so often can be. Beer prices are reasonable and service is typically quick, friendly and pleasant. There are usually all kinds of people here and sometimes even what might be thought of as some rough looking characters but everybody has always just focused on having fun and nobody has ever caused a ruckus when I have been present. read more

Great place to go, they give out free drugs to the women in their drinks, and the place has this pleasant aroma of sweat and vomit. Plus the bartenders will take a stranded girl home, no problem. And the security you can't beat them, if they see you having fun, they'll kick you out, real professionals. Really a 5 star experience for any body, especially a young lady looking to change her life. read more

I Came here for drinks and karoke with my sister & brother-in-law. The karaoke was supposed to start at 9:30pm but it's 9:58 and still nothing is happening other than the DJ eating his burger King. Oh wait it's time for some fun. DJ is singing & he's getting it kicked off. Hey the Cuervo is ice cold and the place is decked out for halloween. Boooo. This will be my first and last time coming here it's Divey as hell the drink selection is awful. Small as hell one pool table. Depressing atmosphere small patio and small area inside it has to be the most insufferable experience I've had in my life as far as going to any establishment. I hope it improves or just fades away. I will be taking my business elsewhere where karoke starts on time is Lively has a better song selection. Peace out. read more

Friend Spent about 5 hours in the hospital for being drugged shortly after visiting Mudbugs. Mudbugs is well known by the hospital staff because of how many people they get that are drugged from there. The stuff they use to spike the drinks doesn't show up on a basic tox screen so you're just SOL. read more

Definitely better than your average dive. Bartenders were all super friendly...drinks were fabulous. Definitely would recommendohhh and the karaoke was top notch read more

MudBugs Pub - Bar area. - Pubs Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

My bar tender Dan was super unattive and didn't even acknowledge my existence for the 1st 15 mins I was sitting at his bar. Loved this bar sooooo much and would definitely come back if there was another bar tender. Please bathe him! read more

***BEWARE*** People are being DRUGGED - During spring break my drink was drugged, I only turned my back for a second while the bartender poured it and I kept it within my view at all times after that. I Started feeling sick, numb legs and fuzzy within 15 minutes of taking a few sips. Luckily it was my first and last drink of the night otherwise I would have just thought it I was getting drunk and would have drank entire glass. I was unable to walk for several hours. My friends had to carry me out. Once back at our hotel they call a paramedic. One of our other friends was in the hospital for 2 days from that same night for being drugged as well. - OTHER GROUPS OF SPRING BREAKERS HAD SIMILAR OR WORSE EXPERIENCES THE SAME WEEK, including having their credit cards ran up extremely high ( 200 to 300 dollars) and they won't remove the charges. Working with Attorneys to deal with this place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS read more

The service is 10/10 best in the gulf friendly and quickly the atmosphere Is a 15/10 it's great must stop by even if its only one drink

They use your debit/credit cards for personal use!!! Be aware. Or pay as you order. I'm still fighting the fraudulent charges that were made while my card was behind the bar. read more

I paid five dollars to get in, and could not get waited on. I stood there while they waited on the next five people that Walked up. I gave up and left, F you Mudbugs I would never give you another dime of my money. Wish I could get my cover charge back. read more

Had a great time at MudBugs! Just make sure to ask about the underaged price which is $20 compared to the normal cover price of $5, but much worth it if you are not of age! Definitely recommend! read more

Ok. It's a dive bar. If I loved dive bars, it would be a 5. But I don't. I should have read the Yelp reviews. My fault. Mudbugs has no seafood. Actually, they barely even have food. See my photo, handwritten menu from some other bar's name. Beer was bottles only, but reasonably priced. They did have mixed drinks in plastic cups. TVs were small, but they were happy to put it on Thursday night football. I didn't order food, but saw some and decided not to order. It's the off season, so it was dead as hell. Then there was the heat issue. The heat was not working and as the temps dipped into the low 40s outside, so did the bar, following about 10-15 degrees warmer. I can't imagine being there this morning when it was 33 degrees outside. BUT! Now I know. I hear the seasonal crowd is strong and it's packed. Lots of people having a good time. I will come back, after I have dinner, during season and update. Oh, not to forget them, the staff was friendly. Freezing I'm sure, but serving away and happy to help. Giving them their props. read more

I would call this place home if i could! I am from ATL georgia and took a huge group of friends to this bar every single day of our trip! We loved the staff, (jonathon teems, tatcher.. even the owner! She was lovely!) This bar and it's locals were so welcoming and full of energy! This bar made our trip worth it! Will be attending as soon as possible. Such a loving community that's full of fun! Make sure to enjoy the Karaoke every day! We sure did! read more

MudBugs Pub - Group going to mudbugs! - Pubs Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

I would leave 0 stars if i could. My roommate got drugged and they took my REAL ID!!! Told me I had to give another form of id. Sorry I don't carry my passport with me at all, much less at 10pm. Never go here and believe the reviews. Suspicious place for sure. $25 minimum and a $5 cover fee?? Run them out of business read more

Pretty standard dive bar. It was great to get away from overpriced drinks found closer to the beach. Quiet when we got there around 9pm but quickly picked up and then the karaoke started! Friendly bartenders and good drinks! read more

Fun vibes and a good mix of local and tourist people. Drinks are cheap and not far from the hotels!

If I could do less than 1 star I would. Place is very dirty and gross and the environment is very sketchy. I love a good dive bar but this place is truly horrifying. read more

Zaddy trey, a "bartender" was very disrespectful. My brother I'm in law, who is 21, had this "zaddy trey" serve us and told us he was going to call the cops when he literally served us. We payed $30 for a "live band" who was a 21 year old karyoke singer and she was terrible. Don't whaste your time. The bathroom stinks and when you flush the toilet sewish comes up out the toilet and it smells dirty vag!!! it was gross!! They are not nice and it is really weird there. It's like a middle schoolers bar. It's terrible. I met a friend..they let him in illegally but put a satin warship on his hand... poor kid is Jewish... Save your money on Uber and time... never go there. A cockroach climbed up my uncle's leg!!! read more

We had a blast here!!! Some reviews talk about a blonde bartender being dumb as rocks. This is not true. Whoever said that needs to just not be in bars anymore, or who ever said that probably got cut off and was mad about it. With my rating on this bar gets a four star on a different view than my usual, mainly because----it's based off of the company I was with. This is a very fun place to go and play pool and sing some karaoke! Smoking is outside on the patio. The crowd is a younger crowd, for what my friends and I saw----but they still were inviting to some change. It was also neat to see a young female karaoke DJ operating a show by herself (not common). I mention this because----When searching for karaoke on Yelp----it's lacking hits. Double tall drinks are $10.00 (in a size where I am from they are single drinks). So, make sure you have some good money! It is a younger crowd, so be mindful of that! The stripper pole is also pretty cool. We had fun with that!!!! read more

Only went for drinks after dinner and listened to karaoke. The staff were killer singers and knew how to pump up the crowd. $5 cover which we were surprised by. read more

Previously had a bad experience, but after talking to staff and the actual member of staff, was able to solve the situation. Previously misunderstood something I thought I heard about a certain community of people, but figured out I just genuinely misheard what was said. Mad respect to the crew and members of the bar/security. Becoming a regular now. Great drinks and good prices. Will make amazing memories here for sure. Special thanks to Taco. read more

I wish there were half stars to rate. I would prefer to go 3.5 stars. We went on a karaoke night and had a good time. It's got some character, but there was a musty smell to the whole place and the bathrooms were very hot and smelled like sea water and sewer. Overall it is a fun dive bar and worth the trip. read more

Not the fancieatnof places but a good time. A family favorite when we hit Gulf Shores read more

MudBugs Pub - It's definitely not the fanciest place but it's a good spot kind of out of the main light of the normal vacation vibe! Enjoy! - Pubs Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama
