Weekends are about relaxing and letting loose, but it's hard to do that when you're home alone with no one to enjoy your free time with. Fortunately, some great bars are just waiting for you to visit them. Here are three local bars to visit that are only a short distance from our apartments near the University of South Alabama. 

Heroes Sports Bar and Grille

Opened in 1998, Heroes Sports Bar and Grille quickly became a downtown favorite for food, sports, and friendly customer service. Visit its second location near the University of South Alabama for the same fun near your new home. Try the Hero Burger, a half pound of fresh ground beef cooked to order and topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions. Heroes also serves sandwiches, seafood, and chicken baskets. Remember to enjoy your meal with a cold beer on tap! 

Tigers Bar & Grill

If you're looking for bold Latin American flavors with an energetic atmosphere, Tigers Bar & Grill is the place to be. Tigers specializes in flavorful Venezuelan cuisine. Enjoy a classic burger with fries, or try their arepas, cachapas, and more. They also have Latin American favorites to drink, such as chicha and frescolita, a popular Venezuelan cola. Come in from 11 AM to 2 PM Tuesday through Friday for the lunch special, only $10.99. 

Pour Baby

Pour Baby is known for its extensive fine wine and craft beer selection. They serve 50 different wines with their state-of-the-art Enomatic Wine Serving System. In addition, they have 150 wines by the bottle, hand-crafted and domestic beers, and premium liquor. Enjoy Southern comfort foods like creamy pasta, pork and lamb chops, and beef tenderloin as the Baby or Big Plate. Be sure to save room for dessert! 

For those days when getting in touch with others seems impossible, here are some animal shelters in the area that need volunteers. Finally, contact us today if you're considering calling Traditions at South Home. We are more than willing to find the perfect floor plan for you.
