Our server, Michael was absolutely wonderful. (Plus he has amazing hair!) Anyway, we started with my Smoked Old Fashioned (It was ok, bartender went a little heavy on the bitters, and I should've asked for Bulleit Rye but that was my bad.) Anyway, Honey got a Black and Blue. Both came out super quick and we were instantly refreshed. We chose to sit in the patio bc the weather was nice and not too hot or cold. It was just right. We started with the ColCannon Boxty Appetizer. It is small balls of shredded potatoes that are fried, and come with a delish aioli dipping sauce. We chose to split the Shepherds pie for our main course. The meat gave me meat loaf vibes but with a ground beef texture and a unique aftertaste.. It was good, just the texture is unique! It came with a small portion of the Brown Bread with Garlic butter. It was good! We asked for more Garlic butter. It was delicious! We would've ordered a Creme Brûlée but we were both stuffed. It was overall a great place and we will visit it again. A must visit if you are in Orange Beach!

Quick summary:…read more Reuben: Below expectations Fish & chips: Met expectations Chicken pot pie: Below expectations Wings: Below expectations Old Fashioned: Below expectations Guinness: Met expectations French 75: Met expectations I had heard great things about this place, so my expectations were high. The inside bar area is very cool, but it was extremely loud at night. If you're eating dinner, don't expect to have much of a conversation. We ordered several of the things they're supposedly exceptional at, and most of it was just "meh." The Reuben was the biggest disappointment. It was supposed to be one of the best Reubens around, but honestly, Arby's is just as good. If you want a truly exceptional Reuben, go to Napoleon House in New Orleans. The fish and chips were fine. The wings were also okay, but nothing memorable. The chicken pot pie was unique and clearly made fresh. It contained shredded chicken, which was a little different, and had a strong spice flavor that I couldn't identify (tarragon). I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't reorder. The Old Fashioned was disappointing. The Guinness and French 75 were both good and met expectations. None of the food was actually bad. We simply had much higher expectations based on the restaurant's reputation and what we were told they do exceptionally well. Service was good, and the atmosphere was cool. Overall, it's an interesting place, but the food didn't live up to the hype. Clearly, I'm in the minority because this place has excellent reviews--especially on Yelp, where reviewers can be pretty tough. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews because food is subjective, and this may simply be a "tomayto, tomahto" situation. Everything I found average could be amazing to someone else. This was just my experience.

They do serve food here and I've had better pub food and I think the burger is the best thing here. My last visit here was right before a Carnival Ball and it was VERY crowded but they still kept up with taking care of everybody. They often have live music and Irish music on Sundays. Overall I'm very motivated to return here and I have been sampling more of their food menu and enjoying some live music.

From the moment you walk in, Tonya, Lisa, and Suzanne treat you like an old friend who happens to have great taste. Need a wine to pair with dinner, impress a date, or survive your in-laws? They somehow read your soul and hand you the perfect bottle. Seriously, Suzanne's wine knowledge borders on psychic. She'll hand you something that tastes like it should cost $100, and then tell you it's under $20. You'll double-check the label just to make sure you heard her right. The place is spotless--like, "you could perform surgery on the countertop" clean--and the back patio has a stunning water view that pairs perfectly with a glass (or three). The bacon-wrapped dates? Little bites of heaven. The pizza? So authentic it makes you start planning a trip to Italy... or at least a return trip here next weekend. Whether you're planning a date night, a social hangout, or just grabbing a bottle for dinner at home, Crush Wines nails it. Funny thing is, you'll come for the wine, but you'll stay for the vibe--and probably leave with a new favorite bottle, a full belly, and the urge to hug Suzanne for being a wine wizard.

The Red Haven Live is a brand new spot that opened in the space formerly occupied by Lauria's…read moreItalian Bar & Bistro. This place is owned by Josh Newcom with his wife Christie and his daughters Dove age 22, Sky age 20 and River age 14. The entire family runs the restaurant and their family band performs on stage as well. The Red Haven Live has a constant stream of live music performers here all the time. Orange Beach does have a decent amount of live music but sadly most of it tends to mainly be cover bands so I hope this spot brings in a LOT more live local music with bands that are playing their unique songs they created themselves. I grew up going to see LOTS of live local music and I got to see some AMAZING bands and it really breaks my heart that these days it seems there are so few bands playing their own stuff. I've been told by a LOT of locals in the area that the crowds of locals and tourists ONLY want cover bands and any band playing their own stuff won't do well but personally I just don't believe that as New Orleans still has LOTS of live local music every night with creative musicians playing their own music to great crowds so if it works great in New Orleans it should work in Orange Beach... I would assume. Currently the main music venues around Orange Beach seem to be Flora-Bama, The Keg and The Red Haven Live and I think The Red Haven Live has the perfect environment to bring in more live music with folks playing their own unique material. Flora-Bama has some local unique music but it gets so crowded it is often really hard to enjoy those performances. During my visits to The Red Haven Live I enjoyed their Newcoms Cowboy Soup, a cheeseburger and pizza along with some iced tea. So you can enjoy some food while you enjoy the live music. I can enjoy some covers but I really need to have a lot more unique music created by bands as otherwise I won't have any new music to buy to add to my collection! Overall this is one the coolest and most unique new spots to open in Orange Beach in quite a long while so make sure to check it out!

4.5 - This is my second time coming, first time I just got drinks, second time I got a fish…read moresandwich. Let me say that the atmosphere and the view of this place is All-Star. This place can lend itself to families or parties because there's plenty to do while you're waiting on your food or just sitting around drinking a cold beer. The atmosphere is better than the Florabama and cleaner. I got the grouper sandwich, a healthy portion and a great taste. Since I'm over critical of my food, I will say that they could throw a few more garnishes like lettuce, tomato, and onion. Don't be scared folks put it on there if we don't want it, we'll take it off. Service is really good at the bar and at the table. I'd go back to this place either on foot or by boat, if you haven't been, it's certainly worth a go. With all the TVs inside, this could be your false spot for Saturday college football.

It's like they sat in a cooler all day and then were served up. Flavor was mid but was reheated after it was cooked, so that is not good. But they should have known this, right? 2) Grilled Chicken Tenders: Not a lick of seasoning, tasted like boiled chicken with no flavor. 3) Pork Belly Tacos: Got two tacos, one had pretty bad pork belly slices and the other, well, was empty. See the photo. Great atmosphere, nice staff, but way off the mark on food quality for 3 out of the 4 meals we had.
