O’Daly’s Hole In The Wall

The Ultimate Guide: 30 Top Restaurants In Downtown Mobile Alabama | CheckOut Gulf Coast (7)

One block with three bars and no cover charge. What more could you ask for?

O’Daly’s offers visitors a traditional irish pub setting, a draft beer sports bar for the sport fanatic or a LIVE music daiquiri bar. All with indoor or outdoor seating.

O’Daly’s has been voted the “Best All Around Bar” by the 2013 Nappie Awards. They have a HUGE selection of beers available at the Draft Picks Taproom that features 36 taps and 9 TVs and plenty of bar games. It’s the home of the 32oz Battleship Drink

” The name aptly describes this place. If you’re walking down Dauphin St. to fast you’ll miss it. Pizza was great and big enough to split. The garbage fries weren’t quite what I expected, but I’ll probably give them another shot. I’ll definitely get the fish tacos again. They had several local beers on tap, and they didn’t mind giving a sample if there’s one you’ve never heard of. All in all, a place I’ll plan to visit again.”

Chuck’s Fish

The Ultimate Guide: 30 Top Restaurants In Downtown Mobile Alabama | CheckOut Gulf Coast (8)

Locally sourced seafood from their own wholesale market, naturally ages and cut in-house beef and award winning sushi for over 26 years

Fantastic food, outstanding service with atmosphere to enjoy your meal in.

“I haven’t tried sushi in the mobile area before but have been all over the world eating sushi including Yoshi’s in Okinawa, Japan. Chuck’s fish is the best sushi I have had in the United States and is very close to that of Yoshi’s in Okinawa. My friend had the back down roll and it was delicious! I had the Dauphin roll and I don’t think I have had a roll before that was that good. The eel had great flavor and the tempura did too, they added a thin sliced of jalapeno on top with eel sauce it made it pop for me. Every taste was an explosion of flavor. Thank you so much! I will be back! “

Dumbwaiter

The Ultimate Guide: 30 Top Restaurants In Downtown Mobile Alabama | CheckOut Gulf Coast (20)

A taste of old, nostalgic traditions of yester-year with a touch of southern charm

Wes and Dana were raised on good-ole southern comfort food and that’s exactly what you get at the Dumbwaiter.

“Great food, awesome service, and surprisingly upscale ambiance. Had the Brusselsprouts as our starter and they were delectable (not a big fan of them in general either). Wife had mahi taco special and I had the beef tournedos and both were delicious. For dessert we had french press decaf and the lemon icebox cake, which was rich, moist, and tasted just like a true lemon icebox pie!”
