Fodor's Expert Review Flora-Bama Lounge, Package & Oyster Bar

Known simply as “The Flora-Bama” to locals, this beachside bar is as full of history as it is whiskey. In 1964, when this little stretch of highway was first completed, the package store was practically the only place around. But as traffic increased, so did business, and the Flora-Bama became legendary for its musical acts and annual events. (Fun Fact: Jimmy Buffett’s hit song “Bama Breeze” is said to be written about this roadhouse.) Come in the daytime for a chilled-out vibe, or visit at night to experience—well, you never know what.
