Gulf Greatest – Live Music

The Hangout Gulf Shores isn’t just a restaurant—it’s the Gulf Coast’s go-to spot for live music. Set right on the beach where Highway 59 meets the sand, The Hangout transforms every night into a celebration of sound, sunshine, and community.

With The Hangout being voted best live music five years in a row, it’s no wonder that music takes center stage here. The venue offers free live performances every evening, showcasing a mix of local talent and regional touring acts. Whether it’s an acoustic sunset set or a high-energy weekend band, the music creates a festival-like atmosphere you can enjoy any night of the week.

The open-air courtyard is where the energy lives. Guests dance barefoot in the sand, grab a cocktail, and settle under string lights while the band plays on. The sound is crisp, the setting is unforgettable, and the vibe is pure Gulf Shores.

Families are welcome too. While the band plays, kids can enjoy foam parties, games, and character appearances—all within view of the stage. It’s a rare blend of live music and family-friendly fun, and The Hangout has mastered it.

From dinner with a soundtrack to spontaneous dancing at sunset, The Hangout delivers one of the most dynamic live music experiences on the coast. If you’re in Gulf Shores and want more than just a meal, this is where the night comes alive.
