The Hangout – Gulf Shores, ALCome Make a Memory With Us
Hey y’all—welcome to The Hangout. If you’re looking for a place where the music’s always playing, the laughter’s a little louder, and the good vibes never stop, you’ve found it. We’re not just a restaurant—we’re where beach days turn into lifelong memories.
Whether you’re dancing in a foam party, joining a pirate parade with your kiddos, or just soaking up the view with a cold drink in hand, you’re part of our story now. We built this place for families, for beach lovers, for anyone who still believes in the magic of making the most out of every moment.
Come as you are—salty hair, sandy toes, and all. Let the kids run free, let your heart be light, and let us take care of the rest.
We’re so glad you’re here.
— Your friends at The Hangout
Fresh Fun, Served Daily!
Famous for live music, we are also home to the Hangout Music Fest in May, our Pirates & Princesses Breakfast all summer long & the Oyster Cook-Off in November. Always fun with a touch of nostalgia, there’s something for all ages.
Games, dancing, music, contests & entertainment start early in the morning and don’t stop until closing during the summer at The Hangout. The foam machine revs up & kids (even adult-sized) run amuck through an avalanche of foamy bubbles. There’s a gigantic sandbox, a fire pit, a giant shaka hand, a mermaid bar, vintage lunchboxes, rubber duckies, matchbox cars, Pez containers & a 15 foot wishing wall. We have hair braiding & henna tattoos. There is fun for everyone!
Adults mingle at the outdoor bar while grooving to live music from our outdoor stage. Big screen sports & a live DJ are daily attractions. Our large one stop gift shop is an attraction itself!
We have 20+ fun things to do! Our venue is lively & versatile, making it perfect for any occasion. The Hangout would be honored to coordinate all of the essential elements necessary for your event to exceed your expectations.
Less than a week away — Polar Bear Dip at The Hangout is almost here (and yes… it’s going to be cold). 🐻❄️🌊
Join us January 1 for the ultimate New Year’s tradition in Gulf Shores. Doors open at 10 AM, the kitchen opens at 10:30 AM, and the dip happens at 12 PM sharp — so come early, grab a bite, and get ready to charge into the Gulf with hundreds of brave (and slightly crazy) friends.
This event is FREE to all, and we’re keeping the fun going with live music all day long. Warm up after the plunge with chili, hot chocolate, and all the Hangout energy you know and love. Costumes are encouraged, wetsuits are welcome, and bragging rights are guaranteed.
Kick off the new year the Hangout way — cold water, big laughs, and the best day on the beach.
Keep those beach vibes going all winter long with our Hangout hoodies — perfect for cool mornings, sunset strolls, and cozy nights by the waves. 🧥💛
Grab yours at the One Stop Fun Shop and stay warm while looking beach-day ready!

Ways to warm up this holiday season:
Start with our Shrimp & Grits — blackened Southern Gulf shrimp served over creamy gouda grits and topped with our rich sausage Tasso cream sauce. It’s comfort in a bowl and the perfect way to shake off the winter chill. 🦐❄️
Gather the whole family, because no matter how many people you’ve invited to dinner, we can handle it. From small crews to big celebrations, there’s always room at The Hangout.
And if you’re looking to stay cozy all season long, our Hangout hoodies are designed to keep you warm, stylish, and ready for any beach breeze that rolls in.
Finish the night by dancing it up — because nothing warms the soul like good food, good company, and a good time. 💛
At The Hangout, we strive to make every visit memorable — no matter how old you are. 🎄✨ This holiday season, we’re all about sharing joy, laughter, and festive fun with families.
