Walk this street and pop into any of the storefronts that smell/look good to you! This is the main bar and restaurant street in downtown Mobile, and it's hard to go wrong no matter what you choose. There is a monthly Art Walk that occurs, and the street is only open to pedestrians at that time.

Finer dining than most places in Mobile, but reasonably nice casual attire is still acceptable. I recommend going during lunch - it is less crowded, less formal, and less expensive, but the views are still spectacular! This restaurant boasts panoramic views of the entire area from its spot at the top of the bank tower downtown.
