Vandalism at the Park

Although it is beautiful out and you may want to enjoy the park, no restrooms are available today. Unfortunately the restrooms at Fairhopers Community Park on Church Street & Morphy Avenue are OUT OF ORDER due to vandalism. Please refrain from using this facility until further notice. Thank you and we apologize for the inconvenience. See more info here

Watch Party at FBC

Come on out to watch Notre Dame and Fairhope’s Riley Leonard play at Fairhope Brewing Company tomorrow at 6:30. Fairhope's own Riley Leonard leads his Fighting Irish against Penn State in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff, played in the Orange Bowl. As a fun promotion, for Riley's FIRST RUSHING TOUCHDOWN of the game, we will sponsor a FREE ROUND* for everyone in the taproom! (Yes, even Nittany Lions fans.)  Let's go Riley!

Slow but Steady Road Work

Watch out for increased traffic around Bayou Drive and Section St now that school is back in session! The repair work is moving along, but slow downs are occurring in this area and we recommend seeking an alternative route when you can!
