Best Spots for Live Music on Perdido Key & Orange Beach
This coast runs on live music. These are the bars and restaurants where there's usually a band or a songwriter going — check our live music page for tonight's actual lineup.
- 1 Flora-Bama Lounge & Package $$ · Perdido Key (FL)
The state-line bar. Open since 1964. Multiple stages, multiple rooms, live music seven days a week, and the only building in the United States that the FL/AL state line runs through.
- 2 Sandshaker Lounge $$ · Perdido Key (FL)
Birthplace of the Bushwacker. A Pensacola Beach institution since 1971 — live music outside, regulars inside, and a frozen drink that has personally ruined more vacations than any other beverage on the Gulf Coast.
- 3 Zeke's Landing Marina $$ · Orange Beach (AL)
The loudest of the three big marinas. Forty-boat charter fleet, two restaurants, live music, and the easiest place to walk on and book a fishing trip.
- 4 Coastal $$ · Orange Beach (AL)
Beachfront, open-air, and running from breakfast to live music after dark. Gulf seafood, tropical drinks, and a beach bar that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier.
- 5 LuLu's $$ · Orange Beach (AL)
Lucy Buffett's open-air gulf-coast restaurant. Live music, a kids' play area, a real menu, a real wait in season. The bigger version of family beach restaurant.
- 6 Tacky Jack's Orange Beach $ · Orange Beach (AL)
Alabama institution. Breakfast all day. Live music. The locals' answer to 'where do we go that isn't trying to be anything.'
- 7 The Point $$ · Perdido Key (FL)
Waterfront, old-school, and serving Perdido its mullet since the 1950s. Royal reds, oysters, a bluegrass band, and oak trees older than half the condos.
- 8 The Wharf at Orange Beach $$ · Orange Beach (AL)
Marina + amphitheater + shopping + dining + ferris wheel + mini golf. The 'a lot at once' Gulf Coast option. Pre-concert dinner or rainy-afternoon kid plan.
