Located off of Old Shell Road in the midtown area of Mobile, Butch Cassidy's Cafe is a well established, family friendly restaurant. Opened in 1993 by Roy Seewer, the restaurant pays homage to the classic 1969 Robert Redford and Paul Newman movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This casual eatery offers reasonably priced dishes that run the gamut from burgers and fries to salads and nachos. Happy hour is from 3-7p with plenty of drink and appetizer specials.
Be on the look out for a brick red building with a black mule painted on the side while driving down North Claiborne Street. This lovely restaurant specializes in Cajun and Creole cuisine such as the "Jackass" chicken sandwich, Bayou burger, Cajun boudin wrap and Blind Mule Bake being poplar favorites. Dine outside under scattered umbrellas in a lively courtyard that features hand-painted murals and a quaint water fountain. The rustic and minimal interior conveys a warm and cozy atmosphere. The upstairs attic comes alive with an eclectic music scene that sees local live bands perform occasionally.
The four-diamond Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel is located in the downtown area of the city. The hotel's Fathoms Lounge is a popular choice for those looking forward to unwinding after a hard day of work. Relax on the patio by the fire as the professional mixologists stir up some innovative cocktails, allowing the cucumber gin martini be your first choice. The list of wines is extensive and features a few imported labels as well. The lounge serves small plates of yummy appetizers. You could also try other light eats like the cheesy turkey club wrap, or sweat it out with a portion of the fiery hot chicken wings!
