The atmosphere and location of The Gulf are unmatched. Beautiful views, palm trees, and right on…read morethe water. It was very busy when we arrived, so finding a seat was a little stressful. My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

We were right on the water and had a beautiful view. Our server grabbed our drinks and starter order shortly after being seated. The kids ordered drinks in souvenir cups. I started with a spicy margarita and it was delicious. We also had fried pickles and nachos to start. The nachos were phenomenal. The fried pickles were also very good. I had the mahi mahi tacos and they were delicious. I had them blackened and the sauce on the tacos was delicious. My second drink was a bushwhacker and that was super yummy. We ended with a banana pudding and that was delicious as well. Our server was such a gem! She was so friendly and just awesome. We forgot a souvenir cup and she sprinted to find me. I greatly appreciate that!

I drove two hours just to try Avenue Pub. I had never heard of the restaurant before and only…read morediscovered it through a Facebook post, but it was absolutely worth the drive. The first thing that impressed me was the ample parking. The restaurant also has a small private beach area for customers, along with a great bar area overlooking the water. The property is handicap accessible with both ramps and stairs, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Assistant Manager Taylor. He made me feel extremely welcome and even recommended a lunch item from the menu. I took his advice and ordered the Pork Ribeye Sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. On the side, I had a salad with their homemade ranch dressing. Without a doubt, this is some of the best ranch dressing I have ever had. The bartender, Cody, was outstanding as well. I tried the Lime Margarita, Blackberry Mojito, and the Strawberry Basil drink. Every one of them was fantastic. You can tell this is a place that people genuinely enjoy working at. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the customers all seemed happy to be there. It's rare to find a restaurant that gets everything right, but Avenue Pub comes very close. If you're anywhere near Orange Beach, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back.

We also ordered the wings- subpar, hamburger were recommended and they were said to be top notch. So ofc I had try it and coming from Texas we had high hopes as the bar is set high. With that said, the burger was good, I have had better but for the other food I have eaten in the area I would agree that it was the best burger around here. But for the items we ordered, it was over priced. we sat at the bottom dock area, no server and we had to go to a window to order everything. Sorry no photos.

Once inside, the atmosphere was classy, intimate, and really well done. The pianist was fantastic and played a mix of modern songs, which was a fun twist and added a lot to the vibe. The bartenders were also wonderful, very attentive and genuinely helpful when we were deciding what to order. They asked about our preferences and helped each of us find a cocktail that suited our tastes perfectly. The drinks were delicious, smooth, and clearly well made. We had such a nice time here and would absolutely come back the next time we're in town. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for creative cocktails and a fun, upscale speakeasy experience.
