Padgett & Robertson

For those nights when you and your friends want to venture out but don't want to have to deal with uppity attitudes, thankfully there's a place like the Midtown Pub. This fun nightlife hangout features pool tables, lots of comfortable tables and two huge TVs. The charm and laid-back vibe of the Midtown Pub make it a favorite of everyone from young professionals to old timers to college students. And, it doesn't hurt that the bar stays open from 12 noon to the wee hours of the morning.

Instead of seeing the sights like everyone else, set yourself apart as you become airborne for an unforgettable ride with the pros at Mobile Helicopter Charters . See Mobile from the utterly amazing heights on a helicopter as it glides through the Alabama skies to offer you the opportunity of a highly unique adventure. Don't forget your camera as you will be flying above the area's picturesque landscape and surrounding countryside. Also, you can customize your tour to see specific sections of town from the comfort of your propeller-propelled aircraft.

If you find yourself wandering around downtown Mobile, make sure to make your way to Spanish Plaza. This scenic, oak-shaded plaza is one of downtown's most photographed attractions, and once you get closer to it, it is easy to see why. One end of the plaza features a classically-styled European inn with iron-faced railings called Malaga. The impressive artwork displayed here won't escape your eye either, as you will be amazed at the Arches of Friendship sculpture, the “Fish Monger” statue and fountain and a plaque that remembers Bernardo de Galvez, the first governor of the Louisiana Territory.
