Large outdoor bar / live music

My wife and I are heading to Orange Beach in a few days (I know this is a Gulf Shores forum but it gets a lot more hits than the OB forum). Can you recommend some of your favorite places with large outdoor bar/patio areas with live music (preferably not country music)? The closer to Orange Beach, the better as we%26#39;re staying at the Caribe.

Thanks!

The closest to Caribe is FloraBama, but I wouldn%26#39;t recommend taking your wife there. Lulu%26#39;s in Gulf Shores is outdoors and they always have some Buffett wannabe playing. New place called The Hangout in GS has a large bar and is pretty open to the beach, according to Mrs DD. Tacky Jack%26#39;s in OB sometimes has live music. None of these places is a ';country music'; place.

not sure why you wouldn%26#39;t take your wife there... mine takes me with her everytime she goes.

florabama, cosmo%26#39;s, tacky jack%26#39;s, jolly roger, to name a few.

daveandcarrie,

I didn%26#39;t say I wouldn%26#39;t take my wife there. I recommended the OP not his wife there. My wife can handle the pond scum and drunks that are the clientele of the FloraBama. I don%26#39;t know that everyone can, but congrats to you and yours!

Oops! I meant ';TAKE his wife there';...sorry.
