When you’re on vacation, especially with a group of people, it can be time-consuming to find different activities to do, so when you find one great place that has more than one option, it’s a huge win.
At The Hangout, you’ll find more than a restaurant. You’ll find an experience. Plus, you’ll be in close proximity to The Hangout when you stay in the Gulf Shores vacation rentals at Gold Star.
These breathtaking properties offer the ideal location for exploring the city, as well as convenient amenities to help you relax and unwind. You will quickly find that no matter how many people you’re traveling with or how long you’re in the area, you can settle in and truly enjoy local attractions such as The Hangout!
What Is The Hangout?
The Hangout is more than a restaurant near the beach with some outdoor seating. Hangout is an epicenter of entertainment. Of course, there is a full-service restaurant, but they are also very well known for the live music that they have every day. There are games, contests, an outdoor bar, a mega sandbox, a foam machine, beach access, and even retail shopping! Hangout is the place in Gulf Shores to, well…hang out.
In addition to their daily live music, they have a DJ as well. They also host the Hangout Music Festival every year in May.
Some of their other events include the Pirates & Princesses breakfast during the summertime, and they host an Oyster cook-off during the fall in November. They also offer event coordinating if you’re looking to host your next event. This is the perfect special event locale for giving your guests a full day of entertainment.
Menu
Get ready for some flavorful food choices at the Hangout. You can choose from several delicious appetizer options such as the Snow Crab appetizer. You get a half pound of Alaskan Snow crab with melted butter. There are also the BBQ Pork Nachos—fresh tortilla chips covered with smoked pulled pork, warm queso, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and Alabama sweet BBQ sauce.
For dinner, try the Grouper Platter. The platter includes fresh wild caught Grouper that is fried and topped with chipotle aioli and served with a side of fries and coleslaw, and how could you go wrong with the Ultimate Seafood Boil? This dish has everything: snow crab, mussels, Fresh Gulf Shrimp, sweet corn, red potatoes, and Conecuh sausage. Everything has been poached to a low boil and then finished with Old Bay garlic butter. It’s also gluten-free. You also have the option to add a flavor-packed bowl of gumbo or a refreshing side salad to your meal if you so choose.
If you’re looking for something a little more hands-on, try a Beachside Burger. The Alabama Wagyu is a special that you will only find at Hangout. The wagyu beef that they use comes from cows that are descended from the “Red Emperor” in Kobe Japan. The beef is farmed using sustainable farming practices and you will find it locally in Gulf Shores, AL. Hangout states that their “cattle are raised in an all-natural, stress-free, hormone and antibiotic free environment. This results in superior signature marbling that has won many awards”. That sounds like a burger that can not be beaten. Then there is, of course, a small selection of po’boys. You can’t have homestyle seafood without them.
There is also a kids’ menu that includes tasty bites like chicken tenders, hamburgers, and popcorn shrimp.
What’s dinner without dessert? This dessert, however, is reserved only for those 21 and up. For a sweet adult treat, try the Bushwacker. Hangout hails this as a dessert and a drink in one. It’s got Malibu rum, coffee liqueur, and ice cream, or you could settle for something a little less dessert-like but delicious—a Pina Colada. Nothing says vacation like one of those.
