First post and I need some local advice. There's a big group of guys (13) going to dinner Saturday night at Old Florida Fish House. We would like to go out afterwards. We are staying at the Sandestin Hilton so we don't want to take a cab all the way back then go out. Plus, I've heard awesome things about Seagrove and Grayton Beach bars.
Can you give me the name of some bars that we could go that stay open pretty late, cater to a large group of guys, live music and a place where a lot of women will be (no cheesy dance clubs)
I've heard Red Bar, but I think it may be too small for us. I really appreciate any suggestions. We have a nice group of guys (all '03 grads of Bama and Auburn) and we're just looking for some good options. We'll be doing Baytown Friday night.
Thanks for any and all replies!!!

hmmmm......can't remember
Sorry, you're in the wrong place. This crowd goes to bed at 8 and never, never drinks.
:lie:
I got nothing for you, but I'm sure someone will chime in soon.

Dude, there just aren't any real late-night, throw down places along the 30-A corridor. Personally, I think you'd be better off heading somewhere like AJ's in Destin.

Just stay right there at the Fish House, its always two to one on the weekends and the band is dancy (is that a word-dancy?).

I gotta agree with JB on those points. As far as recommendations go, if you're doing Baytowne Wharf another night, would be to head to Bud & Alley's in Seaside...it's usually a lively crowd both upstairs and down, with live music. Check'em out: www.budandalleys.com.

I agree...Bud & Alley's or back to Sandestin/Destin.

You can try Balls Out on Hwy 98.
Seriously though, B & A's or Bay Towne Wharf. I would honestly avoid Night town or Cash's.

My dh is a bellman at the Hilton and he says his rec would be Bud & Alleys as it's likely the only place that will fit the majority of your requests. 
If you decide you want to venture back out to Destin, try Bluepoint Fish Club. That would have the crowd you're looking for.

Thanks everyone for your replies. It's very helpful. Our plans have changed and instead of eating at OFSH, we're going to eat at Goatfeathers (a buddy recommended this a while back) so we'll probably just hang out in the Destin area. I'll look up some stuff on Bluepoint Fish Club.
Thanks again!!

Goatfeathers in Blue Mountain? You might want to re-think that one.

Try Pandora's for dinner, located right off 30-A going into Grayton Beach. Fun tiki bar outside w/ music and the steaks and tuna, some other seafood is cooked on open pit, good stuff. And you have to go to Bud and Alley's !!! Have funn and

Fish House or Bud & Alley's are good recs, based on your requirements, or better yet, those bars in Destin, which are open late night, and closer to where you will be staying. AJ's always gets those partying people.

I'm not sure. I think it's 4 miles from the Sandestin Hilton. What's wrong with Blue Mtn?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Blue Mtn Beach, but other than Gator's Blue Orleans, there isn't much of a night life. It is a family-oriented kind of place, like most of South Walton.
Some people like Goatfeathers. I'm just not one of those people.

Nothing wrong with Blue Mountain at all. Goatfeathers on the other hand......

I'd agree with earlier post and just stay at Old Florida Fish House.

OFFH Band plays until 12 or 1, depending on what you can talk them in to that night.
Just don't park in the very back of the parking lot, unless youve got 4 wheel drive.

night life in south walton???
HAHAHAHAHA....
too funny!

You guys should def. start off at OFFH. The food is great and the atmospher is a fun starter place. There's normal a good crowd and band there on Saturday nights. It is a little drive to get there but worth it. After OFFH drive down 30A to seaside and hit up Bud and Alley's. OFFH and Bud's will give yall a change of scenery from the Baytowne tourist bars. Go to Baytowne (Rum Runners and Funky Blues Shack) Friday night and out to 30A (OFFH and Bud's) Saturday night and yall will have the best of both worlds. If yall are still here on Sunday, go to The Red Bar in Grayton for brunch and drinks then back to Buds for sunset drinks. This is a common weekend for my girlfriends and I and trust me we always have a great time. Have Fun!!
