8 Reale Orange Beach
If you are looking for a fun night out with delicious cocktails and secret entrances, this is the Orange Beach bar you want to check out.
Hidden behind a vault door is a swanky speakeasy called 8 Reale Obal (obal = Orange Beach, Alabama).
8 Reale is a Spanish coin that was minted from the late 1400's until the early 1800's. They are commonly found at shipwrecks around the Gulf Coast. Pretty cool lost treasure or in this case a swanky speakeasy.

To gain access to the speakeasy, you have to visit the 8 Reale OBAL Facebook page on the day you plan to visit. The secret code is posted daily within their Facebook post. Hint: Look for the # and the 4 numbers.
The speakeasy is located next to the Frank & Co. Jewelry Store. in The Wharf Orange Beach.
Once inside, you will find amazing bartenders who know how to mix a well-crafted cocktail made with fresh ingredients.

This is the perfect atmosphere to relax, whether you are on vacation, live here and want a fun night out, or want a drink before heading to the Wharf Amphitheater.
If you are a cocktail connoisseur looking for a well-balanced cocktail with amazing flavor, you are going to enjoy this experience. I was really impressed with how perfectly blended the cocktails were while maintaining a lovely flavor.

Indoor Seating
At 8 Reale, you can choose from various types of indoor seating, including couches, velvety chairs, and everything in between.
The seating is spread out in groupings, so you can enjoy a quiet date night atmosphere or get together with a group of friends and catch up easily.

Indoor Bar
The indoor bar is a work of art! It is a gorgeous visual art piece of bottles, glasses, and bar accessories. I find myself continually looking to see what I can see around the bar area.
There are tall bar chairs so you can comfortable sit at the bar and talk with one of the highly skilled mixologists.

8 Reale OBAL Menu
The 8 Reale Orange Menu includes cocktail classics, a huge list of alcohol available by type including rare bourbons, and so much more.

Menu Highlights
The menu is filled with more options that you expect. The servers and bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and can help you pick a cocktail that fits your flavor palate.
