You live uptown NOLA. You're at the beach. You want to party like you're uptown. Go here. It was nutty. Really good service at the bar. Nice backyard patio. I heard they have food. Maybe good. No idea. I just heard it was a party spot. And it definitely is. Loud and obnoxious, like a Goldmine or Boot or FM. Does not stay open till sunrise. That is a drawback. 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

This place is a Hwy 59 staple. I swear they're open like, literally, all the time! It's kinda club-ish, there's a bouncer at the door (usually no cover, at least not a few years ago) and a DJ. They sometimes have live music and it's usually a busy, rowdy place to stop in for some drinks. (Yes, that also means there are occasional bar fights, but who doesn't love a good bar fight now and again?!) They have pool tables and do karyoke some nights. When I lived here, I was never a huge fan of this spot but it's not a bad place to swing through to grab some strong, fairly cheap drinks. Good spot to bring a big group. Uncertain of the food quality... 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

Lied to us when we called (twice) about if there were people there or not and we ride all the way there (30 minute ride) and left immediately- pissed. read more

I absolutely love this place and now after they have remodeled I definitely going to come here. There are no bad comments I can make. The remodeled they place and it added a certain Charm I love. Jonathan sienna Dylan are really adding some beautiful energy to the place please check them out and tip the amazing bartenders read more

Whhhhhhhhhat a dump , I wouldn't even take one here! It's so nasty , so sketchy , and just ...... uhg . I went twice , then told friends "I refuse to go there" read more

We were warned to steer clear of this place but didnt listen. Surely it couldn't be worse than places weve been to at home in Atlanta right? Plus, they have karaoke! ...boy were we wrong. The karaoke part was great! The dj was awesome! ...shed get a 5 star review...but the rest of the experience was awful. We quickly found out why the locals call it Drugbugs. We may have witnessed more cocaine consumption than alcohol. Couldnt use the nasty bathroom in a timely manner because at any given time there was 4-5 ppl powdering their noses. To each their own, but maybe a lil discretion? The final straw for us was the coked out creeper bartender. Dont know his real name, but we kept hearing him refered to as "jefe" . Bearded, tattooed, and more interested in trying to take us home than pour us drinks. Told him multiple times that we didnt want any coke, and that we were lesbians and not interested, and he still didnt get the point. We asked another employee if there was a manager around to speak to and got laughed at. Promptly left. Place deserves to be shut down read more

If you are looking for a laid back, under the radar spot to enjoy a few drinks, this is your place. A dive bar in the midst of tourist-mania. Bartender was the friendliest we've interacted with since we've been here all week. The drinks were delicious and alcoholic and decently priced. If you are looking for the "beach" themed, family-friendly bar, this is not the place for you. If you want a good bar with good company and good drinks, this is for you. read more

Bartenders were personable and funny. Atmosphere was classic karaoke dive bar. We very much enjoyed Mudbugs

they "lost" my credit card last night and i had to uber to get it this morning. for some reason we came back tonight and the bartender decided to take my $6 extra in tip instead of giving my change back. my friend forced him to give it back basically, and was rude about her having an "attitude" and almost refused her service. but he was a pu**y and gave her one anyway read more

If your looking to party sing and stay out late, this is your spot. Not a place for you unless your an exsperienced party goer. Gets really crowded and can get a little rowdy at times. Cant say much about the food never ate their but you would never know they cooked because it looks just like its a bar only atmosphere. Regulate your drinking yourself because the bartenders will give you as much as you ask for. lol be safe and have a good time. read more

We went here for drinks around 11 pm on a Monday. The atmosphere was cool. We hung out on the patio most of the time. They had live music that was good and played a lot of stuff our group liked. The drinks were reasonably priced and equally strong. The bartender (lady with braids) was super nice, inviting, and was clearly enjoying her job. We'll be back! read more

Very rude bouncers. Would not recommend going here. Had two veterans and one current Air Force Sargent with us on Memorial Day and they made us feel unwelcome. They only seem to care about the locals and not the out of town guests. Very disappointing. read more

My friends and I were on vacation and wanted to go to a karaoke bar. Normally we like local dive bars, so we gave it a good shot. Our choice of No Doubt's "Just a Girl" was not a good one, as the songs of choice were country and death metal. Then a girl named "m" tried to befriend us and asked us where to find coke. Then my friend was being hit on my a guy her dad's age, and he also looked like Uncle Eddie from Xmas Vacation. Also everyone was line dancing, we Northerners don't know how to do that. Finally, service with cash is great, closing out a tab is another story. If you're into people watching or cocaine, you'll like this bar! read more

Went here one night with a few friends. The place was empty other than a bar tender and what appeared to be a few other employees. My group sat outside while I waited inside, alone. Bartender proceeded to ask me to come up to the bar and sit, seemingly friendly enough. Minutes later a couple of women came in and proceeded to talk to me and buy me a drink.. I noticed weird eye contact and glances between them and the bar tender but brushed it off. I sat for a while and finally took my drink outside to sit with my friends. Might I add this was the only drink I had had the entire night. One of the women followed me out. The last thing I remember is sitting down. I woke up 8 hours later in the hotel room feeling awful. The conclusion was that I had been drugged. This has been rumored to be part of sex trafficking ring and I feel that if my friends had not been there, something terrible could have happened to me. If you go here, stay in your group, don't take drinks from strangers (in this case especially if it is a woman) and watch your back. I certainly won't return. read more

Absolutely disgusting how this business was ran tonight as a disturbance broke out....zero security and allowed for MULTIPLE other altercations to break out meanwhile the solution is to just get everyone inside.....NEVER AGAIN! read more

This place was the LA Pub years ago. Great place. Frank the owner. House band with Big John and his brother Michael behind the bar. Good times. Not so much now. read more

Nice people. Worst service I've ever had. Waited over an hour and a half for a salad. Not to mention they delivered food to the table at all different times, so some people got they're meals before the salad was delivered. Food wasn't even that good. I would never go back. read more

Great night of karaoke, nice atmosphere, great drinks.

This place sucks!!! Me and my husband are young adults (27&30). We were looking for a cool place to eat, drink, and hang out away from all the college students on the strip. We were under the assumption this was a restaurant/bar. We walked in and a sign said "please sit wherever you like." The only thing we saw people eating was crawfish boil that's apparently complimentary. We sat down and saw only one waitress who seemed to only be interested in shirtless guys, girls she obviously knew, and regular locals. We never got any service and after 15-20 minutes of waiting we finally got up and walked out! We will never go back!!! read more

Food was good. They were out of oysters so we ordered a burger which was pretty good. They had karaoke when we were there on Thursday night. It was a fun place and we only happened upon it because the waits at the other places were too long. read more

We arrived at 6:15 p.m. before the crowd came with 5 people in our party.. About 1 hour and 20 minutes later 3/5 at our table got their food.. It was another hour until we got ours after asking multiple times.. 2+ hours for chicken strips and fries!!! And to top things off our waitress was so rude, ignored us and had NO CLUE what was going on. I still don't even know her name even after talking to the owner. The girl who was NOT working our section took way better care of us and was awesome (I think her name was Laura). Total being; this place was a very unorganized, un- tasteful train wreck (minus Laura). I do not recommend going to a place to wait for ever just to be treated like crap. read more

This place is absolutely horrible. Took 2 hours to get an order of food. Staff is slow, not helpful, they don't really care. The blonde bartender can be out smarted by a second grader. DON'T NOT EVER COME HERE!!!! read more

Definitely not a place for crawfish, as the name would lead you to believe. Just a basic small bar with pub food of questionable quality. I've been to worse. But not in a long time. First visit, so expectations might have been too high. read more

Very disappointed with my recent trip to Mud Bugs. Rude, crude, and rapey only begin to describe the attitude and service of the staff. The staff made several sexually aggressive comments at my girlfriend. After confronting the man in question, he told me to pack up my happy yellow ass and dig a hole to China. Before this, I ordered a double IPA and instead of pouring one double IPA, he poured two cups of a regular IPA and tried to charge me for both. Puzzled, I clarified that I only wanted one double IPA, to which he responded by cursing at me. At this point, my card was behind the bar so I asked to close out my tab and found that a mandatory 20% gratuity was added. I am full of hate!!!! read more

I'm giving this place one star because there is not a zero option. We had a party of 8 that ate there this evening and this was the worst seafood I have ever eaten. Three of us ordered a Jumbo shrimp dinner containing 10 shrimp not one of us received 10 shrimp. The oil they were cooked in was old and they were over cooked. This was a horrible experience on the way out I noticed the Health department rating of 78... read more

The bartenders are wonderful! I left my purse in the corner and could not find it before I left. I called the next day and a bartender had found it and put it behind the bar. Very nice peeps! read more

This place needs to call the guy from Bar Rescue! This place is terrible. It reeked of old vomit and air freshener everywhere. The only place that didn't smell like vomit was on their patio which had torn, mix matched old furniture. It seemed like the place had never been cleaned. I can't imagine eating anything from their kitchen. read more

I came with a big group of friends for my sister's bachelorette party and had a great time. The bartenders are awesome! (Including Nikki, you must have been drunk Joey B....lol) She took care of me and my friends all night long made awesome drinks and even came up with shots and drinks when we didn't know what we wanted. She really showed us what southern hospitality is like. We had a great time but wish they didn't do karaoke every night. read more

on July 29th 2012 A Very rude bartender Nikki don't know if thats how she spells it,however,she talked down to my girlfriend,tried to con me to pay 2 dollars for drafts Ive been paying 1 dollar before she came on the shift,saying this cup is bigger,which it wasn't then says oh,well it's not happy hour,I said I was was told it was all day 1 dollar that particular beer,she huffs,takes the beer and pours it out,and starts playing on her phone,all because I didn't fall for her con?..wow..the other young bartenders and servers that night were very nice,but this one piss poor attitude that nikki displayed was unnecessary,I work hard for my money and just questioned the inconsistency \between bartenders is my right,who wouldn't? we almost left but because the other bartender/server was very nice i decided to stick it out and avoided that rude self center phone texting nikki who acted as though customers were a bother..we did not go back..enjoyed the rest of my vacation else where..Papa roccos' and flori/bama bar were very much a better establishment,you actually felt welcomed,in the five days and nights,I've spent over 250 dollars,at those places,and enjoyed every minute.~Joey read more

Went in one night to watch the football game since the sign outside said NFL night. Instead they had the fights on which were reruns. Went to the outside deck and no one knew how to operate the tv out there. Finally, on one of the smaller tvs inside they put the game on. We could only watch it, not hear it, because the horrible music drowned it out. So much for NFL night. We decided to stay anyway because we were not familiar with the area and wasn't sure of anywhere else to go to watch it. We had just recently moved to the area and they make it very obvious how differently they treat new people. They also charge more if they don't think you live here. Anyway, after finally getting our first drink, apparently we became invisible to the bartenders. There were two girls, one named Nikki, not sure about the other one. Including us, there were maybe 5 or 6 customers. We sat there waiting for at least 20 minutes without them even looking in our direction. They were both to busy yapping and flirting with some loud obnoxious foul mouth guy at the corner of the bar and texting on their phones. I guess they were not concerned about really earning a living. We finally had enough of the torture of this place and left. We made one more attempt to go there another night as a last resort hoping for different bar tenders. Gave it a big NO when we found out they were charging a cover. Believe me, there is NOTHING about this place worth paying a cover for unless you are looking to score drugs. read more
