If you want a great cheesesteak in this part of town, this is where I'd go. The homemade chips are great too and the cheesecake is a great way to end the meal. Service is great and they all make sure you're good. It's a small place and it's easy to miss but when you find it you'll remember it. read more

I ordered an old fashioned drink and it was served in a styrofoam cup! The waiter should have communicated that they don't use glass. Then we waited for over an hour an a half to get our food. Everyone that was seated after us was given their food first and we were ignored until we got up to leave. If you go to Sloop, just know that they serve their "buddies" first, if you are new- prepare to wait and be over looked. Very unhappy with service- oh by the way, the 2 meals we ordered were kids meals. Very small and we still were put on the back burner. read more

We got the wings as an appetizer but they were extremely small. The server was hostile. The ambiance was ok.

Looking for somewhere that we wouldn't stick out since we just came off the boat from fishing the bay and The Sloop was it . It is a little dive"y" but our kinda food . Service was prompt and friendly , beers by the bottle or can mixed drink ( left a lot to be desired ) but the buffalo fries, meatball sub as well as the Philly and the house chips were on point . We arrived a little before noon and by the time we were leaving there was a wait . I thought I had pics but guess next time ! read more

Great place for some entertainment, service was great food good. Fries were fresh cut and awesome.

We ordered cheesesteak sandwich, hotwing hoagie, house salad, cheesecake egg rolls. They were all top notch delicious! This is a small but great bar and grill! They have a great patio too! The service was great as well. I highly recommend read more

Repeat customer, One of my favorite hangouts in Gulf Shores. Drink prices are real reasonable, and the food is very good, try the cheesesteak. Out waitress, Jane, treated us like we were old friends. Their patio is the bomb, great hangout place. read more

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If you're going to do it, do it big", The Sloop, not only do The Beach Boys sing about it, and the Ugandans use the word to attract chicks. So what could go, the answer NAFT (not a thing). What a great place, The Sloop can knock out cool food like Mike Tyson did to Holyfield. Just great cheese steaks, awesome drinks, and great atmosphere. So why are all these people here, apparently they know the secret. And, there not tourists, which is a good thing, one more story about cheese curds, and blatz beer is causing irreparable damage. Go here, it's awesome. read more

If you are looking for great food that's not the typical touristy spot, this is THE place! And service was exceptional, too!! I'm craving the Hotwing Hoagie just writing this review! read more

The sandwiches are good. Sometimes the servers leave you alone too long when you need something. I went by the other day and their kitchen equipment was all in the parking lot. Either they were doing a deep clean or closing down. read more

The Sloop Galley & Spirits is an interesting spot in Gulf Shores, Alabama that is a bit hidden away off the main tourist areas. This bar opened up back in 2019 so it is one of the newer bars in the area and noted for offering Philly cheesesteaks. This review is for my very first visit to The Sloop and I had no idea what to expect so I was quite surprised to find it was a spot specializing in slinging Philly Cheesesteaks. I was quite pleased to also discover they offered a very interesting cheeseburger topped with cheesesteak. Obviously I had to sample this amazing sounding combo and it was even better than I expected! This bar isn't so big on the inside but it has a really nice back patio where they often have live music. Overall this is a nice little spot with some good food and some good times. My video review of The Sloop Galley & Spirits is here: https://youtu.be/lgeDUqZsMN0 read more

Service is always good. Philly steak egg rolls to die for and the loaded French fries with Philly cheesesteak and Cheez Whiz was just what I needed! My wife had the quesadillas which was great. Two cold beers and it was a great supper for two. We hit there every time we come to OBA. read more

We had a great time here with our girls group, but the patio was extremely hot even with the "great fan out there" blowing. We shared some nachos as a group which were quite good. Decent beer and cocktail menu, but no frozen drinks. If you're looking for a bushwacker you can't get one here. read more

Loved it!!!! Great food, awesome service, perfect dive bar atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Great food. Met many locals. Fun dive bar. We went 2 times on vacation in Jan. Will definitely go back whenever we visit Orange Beach again.

Great food all 4 visits so far! Best Philly cheesesteak around! You have to try the Italian sandwich and the sausage and peppers as well! Don't forget dessert the cheesecake egg rolls are phenomenal. The service and atmosphere are a go to place! read more

The Sloop - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

There is a reason this is one of the local favorites - it's clean, food is great, service is friendly... and the owner is always there making sure they maintain quality - great job, Sloop Team! Atmosphere - a fun vibe that is tastefully decorated and clean. Service - staff are super friendly and helpful. They obviously see a lot of repeat locals - but make newcomers feel welcome, too! Food - some of the best cheesesteaks you'll find. Think elevated bar food. Good ingredients that are well prepared and presented. Only slight issue to be aware of is that it can get chilly inside - so if you easily get the chills - take a long sleeve shirt or a light jacket :-) read more

The Sloop - Italian grinder and the "sloop dog" - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

This restaurant is a diamond in the ruff. Off the beaten path yet 100% worth the trip. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly, and the sweet tea was delicious! We tried multiple sandwiches and the foot long hotdog. My husband stated it was the best hotdog he ever had (and he's had a lot). I would highly recommend this restaurant as a great lunch location and a must have when in the area. read more

Food was amazing! Loved the stuffed mushrooms and the pizza rolls. The Philly cheese steaks were great too! Little tiny place but they pack in the tables! read more

The service was horrible. We were the only ones there in the outdoor dining area and it took over an hour to get our food. Our waiter was too busy socializing to take our order then when others came in their order was taken before ours. While we waited and waited other customers came in and was served meanwhile we patiently waiting.... Absolutely horrible. It should not take 2 hours to get sandwiches. We won't be back. read more

Terrible service, waited forever, it's very small inside and very loud. When the food finally came out it was terrible.

Great food and drinks! Cheesesteak sandwiches are to die for! Beach vibe interior and outside patio with music gives off island feel. Service for lunch was quick and server attentive. read more

Good solid place to eat! It's definitely a local favorite. The chip portions were very small compared to what we thought (like 6/7 chips) but they were delicious!! If we came back we would definitely try an appetizer or come for lunch I got the grilled chicken sandwiches and it was amazing! So juicy and cooked perfectly. The burger was great to my husband! read more

You know I like a local dive, well my friend the best dicey places are under bridges. Let me tell you this place apparently brought Philly Cheese Steak to the coast of Alabama. Came here on a recommendation and drove out of my way to get here to meet a buddy I haven't seen in four dog ages. Decor, is perfect for a dive! Charts wallpapering the wall; outside seating exists. We ate at a table because our friend chose it. Love a place you walk in and the bar regulars turn to see who you are. They don't know you and go back to their discussion. The staff was quick and had personality. I'm on vacation so bring it on and let's play. So fun! Expert staff prompted with the kitchen is running behind... love communication The food, comfort food meets souther charm meets having a perfect spiced baby. Beer selection is exploratory with a good base. They have cocktail but wasn't going there this trip. The food again, you have got to love the Philly cheese steak, owner/cook is from Philly, with some shrimped is divine. I had a bunch of apps there were new and delicious. I so wish I lived two block from this place, I felt I was home in 10minutes. If u can find it drop by and enjoy. Best food is always u de r the bridge, I think the trolls have something to do with it. Sorry, no pictures having too much fun. read more

My husband and I visit The Sloop every time we visit the area. The philly cheesesteak is always delicious!

It's a bar first and foremost, had live music outside. Football game on inside and the usual bar goers. Took the family, sat at a table to order the food I've heard so much about. Service was great, and the food was even better! The nachos were delicious. And I had one of the best cheesesteak sandwiches ever. Prices were reasonable and portions were great. Will definitely be back next vacation to try another sandwich. read more

This is such an awesome place! The atmosphere was great, the service, food was wonderful.... if you're in Gulf Shores and want a great place to eat, drink, chill and have a good time, then this is definitely a place you want to go!! read more

The food we were convinced to eat the chili, which I hate to say is even better than mine. I don't say that easily. We also had a salad and tacos all were excellent. All the staff was wonderful and very friendly. It looked so busy because of the cars, but we got right in. It has a quirky nautical theme. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

This place is a super cool little bar with good food. Everything tasted great! The only reason I can't give five stars is the portion size. Amazing appetizers but small. Also, the cheese steak sandwich tasted great but more bun than beef. Personally, I would rather pay more and get a full sandwich and larger appetizers. My advice...order double appetizers and if you get a cheese steak pay for extra beef! read more
