Flora Bama bar

Post by Beaverdam »

I’m currently visiting Daulphin Island, Alabama. My wife is working remotely a few days, and I have both kids, but we’re here for a week and really have no agenda. My wife thought that I might be interested in visiting the Flora Bama bar on the AL/FL state line. I looked and the Flora Bama only appears to be an hour and a half from Daulphin Island. We would be going during the day and taking the kids.

Have any of y’all been? Is this worth my time????

I couldn’t find a “Taking the kids to Bars” thread!

If you were staying in Orange Beach or somewhere closer than where you are, it would be worth it just to say you've been there, but for me, it wouldn't be worth the drive from Dauphin Island.

I know this is the wrong mullet, but what the hell, it's Wesley motherfuckin' Willis!!!



Do something about your long filthy hair
It looks like a rat's nest
Do something about your mullet
Get out the hair clippers, jerk

Cut the mullet

Get the rat's nest off your head
Get that crazy-ass mullet off your skull
Take your ass to the barbershop
Tell the barber that you're sick of looking like an asshole

Cut the mullet

The mullet is the reason why people hate you
They are sick of looking at your nappy wheat sack
Nobody wants to look at you with that mullet on your head
Why don't you cut that mullet, you numbskull?

Sounds like a hater song to me. I eventually did cut the mullet, but in the late 1980s, I was on top of the world with my glorious mullet and some Schlitz Malt Liquor and the braids my hippie friend from college put in. Wish I could grow more hair now----I'm slowly but surely headed for the Art Garfunkel hairline.

Bob's got, he's got the fresh cut,
Fresh cut, new attitude.
Hope he knows, he knows he can't cut,
He can't cut those white-trash roots.

Since the short-long.

Since the short-long,
Since the short-long has gone away.

Ever since you showed up at work today,
I've got to say your world has changed.
Shorter in the back and it's longer on top,
Chopped and channeled, fuzzy dice, chain,
Steering wheel, woofer, tweeter, neutral drop,
Drop, drop, drop, it's come to a stop.
Shorter in the back and it's longer on top,
Top, top, yeah!

Since the short-long,
Since the short-long has gone away.
There's no new lights,
There's no new lights on your T.A.

Shorter in the back and it's longer on top.

You used to have the biggest short-long in the 'hood.
On me it looked silly, you it looked good.
Me it looked silly, on you it looked good.
You're gonna lose your job running carnival rides,
It's not just hair, it's a matter of pride.
It's not just hair, it's a matter of pride.
You're gonna lose your job running carnival rides,
Rides rides.

So we’re back in Daulphin Island; the island is pretty isolated and a good way to enjoy the beach but stay away from people.

Since the whole family is crispy from the sun, we got in the car this morning and took a ferry across from the bay and just drove. We ended up close to Florida, and decided to drive to the state line. Before I knew it, we were driving past the Florabama. My wife parked, and I snapped a pic.

For all these years I though that Dime’s “mullet toss comment” was a reference to how redneck the place was, but according to the sign outside the bar it was referring some type of event that’s held regularly at the bar.

Maybe one day after Covid, I’ll go back and get to figure out what a mullet toss really is!!!
