If you’re staying in a vacation rental in Gulf Shores, then you have some great local spots to choose from. The Hangout is a family-friendly restaurant with lots of fun stuff for children and a fantastic draft beer selection for parents.  Located right on the beach, The Hangout is a popular place with a great atmosphere.

There is also Hurricane’s Grill & Wings, which has an awesome beer selection and is known for their famous baked chicken wings. Beer and chicken wings are always great for watching the game!

If you’re in Perdido Key, you can go to the Florabama. Located on the Florida and Alabama state line, this local’s favorite is a great place to check out any day. The Florabama has good food, and cold drinks, and overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.

Pensacola Beach also has an amazing selection of fun places to watch the game. Go to Sideline’s Sports Bar and Restaurant for some fresh seafood and wings. Hit up Bamboo Willie’s to watch the game in an open-air bar while enjoying a frozen Bushwhacker -a local cocktail that tastes like a chocolate shake! Plus, you can always cruise over to Landshark Beach Bar to cheer on your team in Jimmy Buffet style.

Whichever team you are rooting for, we hope your stay in a vacation rental in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, or Pensacola Beach is one you will always cherish! Go, team!
