    A great place to have a drink, very friendly bartenders and guests. Two dart machines in the back if that's your thing.

    I love Top of the Bay! Seriously, who IS this horse-faced Avery chick? Girl must be the Yelp…read moreequivalent of a professional hater--she drops a 1-star review faster than a drunk uncle drops his beer at a wedding. Probably mad because the barstools don't come with a personal therapist to listen to her complaints. Meanwhile, the rest of us are living our best lives: the atmosphere is straight-up electric (in a good way, not like that one time the jukebox shorted out), the booze flows like it's happy hour in heaven--wine? Nah, we're talking bottomless vibes and top-shelf pours that make you forget what day it is. The staff? Absolute legends. They remember your drink before you remember your own name, and they do it with smiles bigger than the Mobile Bay itself. And the events? Non-stop party central: * Wednesdays: Line dancing so fun you'll forget you have two left feet (spoiler: everyone does after shot #3). * Fridays: Live bands that slap harder than your ex's bad decisions. * Saturdays & Sundays: Karaoke where your off-key rendition of "Sweet Caroline" somehow becomes the highlight of the night--bonus points if you dedicate it to Avery for the motivation. Plus, outdoor music perfect for pretending you're in a music video while actually just spilling your drink on your shoes. It's the ultimate spot to grab a cold one, mingle like you're auditioning for a rom-com, and meet new people who are actually fun (unlike certain reviewers). The regulars? Pure gold. They'll hook you up with every hidden gem, event, and questionable life choice happening in Baldwin County faster than you can say "another round." Bottom line: If you're looking for a good time in Daphne, Top of the Bay is where it's at. Avery can stay home reviewing her own fridge if she wants--more barstools for the rest of us party animals!

    Listen. This is probably the best hometown bar I have ever been to…read more I am a 42 year old WOMAN who enjoys coming to this bar. I come with my husband, so I haven't ever had the experiences as OTHER women (please see the lot lizard that left the one star review on 3/13) of being put in my place and told no when attempting to seduce a SIGNIFICANTLY older man (ohmygod its like I was there...) I also don't tend to laugh like a loud congested hyena, so maybe that doesn't hinder my view on the joint. The bartenders Morgan, Christina, John and Emma are all amazing. They all pay attention to you, regardless of whats between your legs. Please give this bar a chance. Just dont sit where we sit, or play shitty music please. Thank you!

    Absolutely amazing! Me and My Wife are from out of town and had an amazing time. The staff and all…read moreof the patrons were extremely friendly and extremely accommodating. On Monday night we walked in and we're immediately greeted by Olivia, who was very kind, inviting, and a generally good person to sit and talk to. Gave amazing customer service and suggestions to accommodate our specific drinking taste. Tuesday night I came to get a sandwich from the food truck and Bruno was an amazing staff. His customer service and his effectiveness were astronomical and was some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. The atmosphere when first walking into Wisteria Tavern was unique, cozy, and professional. The outdoor sitting area was inviting even in rainy weather and was an all-around 10 out of 10 experience. Every time I visit Pensacola for the next 20 years, I will be coming to Wisteria Tavern. My only critique is not to wisteria Tavern, but to other bars, that are lacking in the type of experience that I had at this establishment. Again, shout out to Olivia and Bruno for being some of the best bar staff I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. PS Bruno, those sandwiches were fire.

    This place is so cool. We stopped there for a cold adult cocktail after picking someone up from the…read moreairport. We walked around inside and out. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend this place. They have friendly staff and a food truck outside. There is also inside and outside seating. Cool place, check it out, you won't be disappointed. I'll update my review next time and add pictures.

    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.

    I'm Loving the vibe. This was a highly recommended place. I must say the Blonde bushwwacker was my…read morefave.. 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.
