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!

Met some business associates here on a Tuesday for lunch. We ate on the patio. The service was…read moreoutstanding. We had two since they were training a new guy. Great experience. We had the grilled oysters. They were perfect. I could have eaten several dozen. The tea was good. The fish of the day was whitefish- Swai. No go with that. I would have expected a gulf fish. I had the Mahi instead. It was great. We had a great experience with super food.

This spot has a really charming atmosphere and definitely nails the "cute coastal" vibe. Service…read morewas a highlight--staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. That said, the food was a bit of a mixed experience. The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.

Looking forward to anything Art wise, arriving to Loud music kids dancing tents with nice people…read moretrying to sell their art. If Only rude people would not unleash their children on others. The loud out of tune and spastic music selection, loud TV with football, and 4 wheeler with his own music which was not only annoying but even caused the artists headaches. Good advice to planners of these types of events, alittle quiet please so those sincere appreciators can enjoy and shop. People with dogs should understand it's not a dog show, your dog loves you but not the heat of blacktop, crowds and noise. To those people who's parents never teaching the art of etiquette, using interrupting behavior makes you appear classless. It doesn't help in sales or elsewise.

Y'all....go. Just go. The Jubilee Festival is awesome!…read more I try to go every year and I always find the cutest stuff. Some of my finds included a Corian trivet shaped like a turtle, and I got our niece one that's shaped like a mermaid. I also bought a spoon made from Corian with a notch on it so it can rest on the side of the pot. I bought a print of the Middle Bay lighthouse painted by a retired fireman. I bought two prints of sea turtles painted by an up and coming artist named Gary Pope, Jr. My friend Bev kept telling him he should increase his prices before I paid for mine. She's totally right, but wait until after I buy mine. My favorite local photographer/candle maker was there selling her candles and wax melts and I loaded up. That's Lynn Jordan/Bon Secour Candle Company, in case you're wondering. I bought Jasmine a tutu from a booth that had everything you could possibly want for your pet. Of course I bought some pottery. I got the most fabulous and practical utensil holder with crabs on it for only $36! I wanted so much more and the prices were great. In addition to what we bought, we saw wood bowls, gorgeous and well-made handcrafted jewelry, paintings, clothing, address plaques and so much more. There were several food stands as well and some live music. This festival is not huge. We walked in in a matter of a couple of hours and saw everything. It's really a can't miss annual event. There's no admission and parking is free.

So - let's break it down for you . . . Cigar shop -…read more *Cigars - surprisingly great selection & variety of price points for a smaller town local shop. *Whiskey, Bourbon, Scotch - while your options are neat or rocks, the pour variety ranges from $7 to $129, the options are narrower than many, but offers quality over a quantity, which is a plus in my book! *Beer - draft, bottle, or can - limited selection - but again = quality over quantity. *Service & Knowledge was outstanding *Entertainment - happened to find this place on a night with live music, so we had dinner at Guido's and popped back over for a smoke, a pour, & a listen. John Cochran & the Remedy? I think the name is undecided and the John Cochran was absent the entire second set (had the band in a bit of a tiz, but the drummer made it happen and got em up and playing) *When your name is part of the band name - get your ass in gear, be present, and don't leave your band mates hanging like a jackweed? That said - *Keyboardist - crazy mad skills!!!!!!!! Can't say enough!!! *Rhythm (drums/bass) - solid, crisp, tight on the majority of the tunes played - drummers swapped it out and both talented. Bass was like you like it - on point, doing his thing to keep it moving. *Brass - Al, the trumpet, coronet, flugal horn playin' bad ass - when he was doing his thing was owning the deck behind the shop and he IS a "SHOWMAN" *Vocals - The solo chick in the band, she has looks, hair, body, charisma, and the moves to keep you engaged. Her chops showed thru on a couple tunes? But as for song selection - while they were classics - they weren't in her vocal range or sweet spot, so was disappointed she didn't get a full opportunity to shine? Song selection can make or break even the best voices if it isn't in your pocket. Def would like to see them again when they've had a chance to tighten up, add songs, and allow her some voice in the choice. *Guitar - (John? Jon? Cochran?) What can I say, you saw some natural talent, some flashes of what could perhaps be great, that fizzled after a broken string, a disappearance, brief reappearance and then departure? See this over and over with live talent - has talent, can't commit fully, or has other demons that can't be controlled? From the band reaction, discussions, and recovery - there was no explanation, just "puff" like the cigar smoke and gone? Love it or hate it - the reviews I leave are the facts as observed by me. Reviews are best left & read RAW!!

The food (French toast/chicken & waffles) was excellent. Regular syrup instead of "pepper jelly"…read morewould have been fine. Our server was very nice and accommodating. The ambiance is nice and cozy. But we always sat in a booth. Sitting at a table indoors next to the back door, I looked around in confusion. At first it felt like someone kicking the back of the seat like on a flight. But then I was trying to move the table and check the chairs, maybe it was an earthquake from the New Madrid fault line. But like a typical NOLA raised home, it was just a hard floor and heavy footsteps. I'll know better next time. But Sundays from 12-3pm is the time to be there. Having to wait for parking was about the hardest part.

Husband enjoyed the shrimp po'boy, I had the oyster po"boy, yummy . I would return just for the view! One of the best restaurants for good Cajun food east of NOLA.

Since I've visited, they've added a few things and I still LOVE it!…read more They've added a sun shade in a part of the seating area (needed that), Cammie's Old Dutch ice cream is here (w/ Sno Biz-- definitely needed that), and there's also an adults-only area after 7pm (nice). I'm loving the increased and unique lineup of events coming to the FORT. I attended my first comedy show in the gulf coast area, here last night. Cheers to even more fun times and the evolution of the FORT Container Park!
