Where can you find a string of bras dangling over a stage, decades of Sharpie signatures on the walls and some of the best live music in the country?

Only at the Flora-Bama Lounge, where the legends come to play and the stories, real or imagined, never end.
As this iconic beach bar celebrates its 60th anniversary, it has received a special birthday gift from USA Today: a coveted spot on the "Bars of the Year" list. USA Today announced the list last week on July 29.

Located on the sandy border between Florida and Alabama, the Flora-Bama has been a haven for beachgoers, music lovers, and party enthusiasts since 1964. From hosting music greats like Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffett to the Bushwhacker-drinking regulars, this bar has captured the hearts of many.

The bar’s calendar is packed with events that draw crowds year after year. The Interstate Mullet Toss, held every April, sees patrons competing in the art of fish flinging. These events, combined with live music, create an unparalleled experience for visitors of all ages.

The tales of Flora-Bama's origins are as colorful as the bar itself. Yet, the bar's legendary status remains undisputed, built on a legacy of fun, music and camaraderie.

As Flora-Bama toasts to 60 years, its spirit of adventure and community continues to thrive. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong patron, Flora-Bama promises an experience that is as unforgettable as its storied history.

Flora-Bama Lounge is located at 17401 Perdido Key Drive, right on the Florida-Alabama state line. For more information or to plan your visit, call (251) 980-5118 or visit their website at www.florabama.com.
