The indoor seating offers multiple table sizes with comfortable chairs. There are TVs on the wall if you want to watch your favorite sports team.

Indoor Bar

Enjoy a delicious frozen cocktail or tropical drink at the bar located inside the Flora-Bama Ole River Grill.

We highly recommend the Key Lime Colada! So good.

Enjoy gorgeous waterfront views from the outdoor deck! There are large fans which helps a lot during the hot summer days.

We love that a large portion of the outdoor deck is covered so you can enjoy the epic weather but not worry about getting sun burned.
