Mobile the Rest of the Night


December 15, 2018

The Rest of the Night in Mobile got a little Fuzzy

There were a lot of places in downtown Mobile that we visited over the next several hours for our one night in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The evening did get a little fuzzy, but I remember our route pretty well. We left the Mobile Carnival Museum and headed down Dauphin street to Dauphin's so that I could show everyone the view before it got too dark. We were not dressed for dinner (very fancy place) but we felt comfortable enough to have drinks and appetizers at the high-top tables in the bar section. The walls are glass top to bottom around pretty much the entire place so you have an amazing view in almost any direction. Plus, the appetizers were affordable and very good.

After Dauphin's, I took everyone over to the Battle House hotel where we took photos around the lobby Christmas tree and then snuck up to the rooftop pool which was closed but at least I got to show everyone another view of Mobile.

We walked St. Francis Street back towards our hotel and stopped for more food and drinks at Firehouse Wine Bar & Shop. It is a neat little place off the beaten path just a block from Bienville Square. After Firehouse, we walked back to Dauphin Street where Kayla thought we would go to a hookah bar but it had apparently shutdown years ago and only the sign remained. We found the Cigar Bar next door instead and met Leroy, its owner, in the humidor. I remember Levi bought some high-dollar cigars and we all had probably our limit for drinks. That did not stop us though. We reluctantly left the Cigar Bar and made our way over to The Temple Downtown for a Spinx photo op and then more drinks at The Bar Downtown Mobile. April and Kayla danced the Wobble. I think I have video of that, too.

Back at the hotel, we did attempt a seance although none of us had ever done one and nothing came of what we tried. We clearly needed Kevin C and Pam L. We had a great evening, but I was in bed by midnight (no shame there; only wisdom).

April, I hope you had a great time and maybe this blog post helped bring back some memories of this one night in Mobile. Share it with all of your teacher friends.

Pretty sure this was our last bar before our Malaga Inn Seance.

And then I was first to bed. Winner!

Mobile Mardi Gras 2020

2020 was my second year renting the house at Fort Conde Inn downtown Mobile for Mardi Gras. The weather was perfect - clear skies, not too hot, not too cold (until Sunday when it rained all day, but we checked out and went home Sunday anyway).  I'm thankful my family and friends could join me again. I had a great time including our house party (parties), the afternoon stop at Dauphine's, sub sandwiches at JJ's, day parades, Friday night parade and Momma's favorite mimosas. Let's do it again next year.  Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! Read about my other travels. https://travelblogsbynoah.blogspot.com/

Mardi Gras Mobile 2023

  2023 Mardi Gras was an awesome weekend with my family and friends. There are plenty of pictures to share with you on this page. Here is a recap of the weekend's adventures. Join us next year if you get a chance.  The weather was forecast to be cold and rainy all weekend, so I took my duck boots (great decision). Again, I rented 10 and 11 at Fort Conde Inn which are the two big rooms downstairs and upstairs across from the main building. Only April, Dan, Kelsy and Kash joined me Friday night. Everyone else came in Saturday morning.  April, Dan and I missed the Friday night parade. We ordered late at the Fort Conde Bistro and did not realize the parade was going to be over so soon. The three of us did try to catch the parade as it looped back into downtown, but April complained that we were running too fast and that her calves were burning. In all honesty, Dan and I thought we were just walking normally. We did crash a private party on the way back to the inn. We cau...

April Arrives Downtown Mobile

  December 15, 2018 April and Her Entourage Arrive Downtown Mobile, Alabama It was not too long before April and her entourage met me downtown. I had walked back from Dauphin's through Bienville Square and down Dauphin Street back to the Corner 251 bistro at the Admiral Hotel on Government Street. A quick round of travelers and we walked back to the Malaga Inn which was only two blocks away. I stopped everyone for a photo on the corner of Church Street and South Claiborne Street in front of the Malaga Inn sign. Unfortunately, there was already an argument between Brendan and Kevin of which April and I were unaware. It happened behind us on the walk from Corner 251 to the Malaga Inn sign involving an ice cube and a drink to the face. I still do not know the exact story but they were too upset for a photo. Kayla filled us in briefly and we took photos and laughed while those two walked on to the parking lot. Here are a few photos to catch us up. Corner 251  on Go...
