2. Flora-Bama Lounge

This place is huge. There's a liquor store in the front you walk through and then there's a bar with live music. Then there's an outside covered bar with live music. Then there's an oyster bar, then there's a deck overlooking the gulf. Great place for live music. They have a very famous songwriters festival each year. This is a great landmark for meeting people. Everybody in the area knows about the place and can direct you. The bar specializes in preparing bushwhackers by the glass or pitcher.
