Saint Patrick's Day Lunch @ Cosmo's Restaurant & Bar in Orange Beach, Alabama

Alabama's Gulf Shores doesn't do Saint Patrick's Day parades.  Some restaurants and bars advertise a festive menu and green drinks.  The decision to ride bikes narrowed our choices.

Cosmo's Restaurant & Bar
is 3.7 miles from our

  campsite at Gulf Shore

State Campground.

Diners sit on the patio &

wait for a table when

it's busy.

I like the brightly painted walls

& artwork

The nautical theme works

well in this area.

The dog art is cute!

The Bar






I head outside....  It's too beautiful to stay inside.

Eric is ordering green

PBRs.

I love the scrap metal
dog that guards the
outdoor bar.

A local musician plays

Soft Rock...

Others are dining
Al Fresco too.

Eric with our Corned Beef &

Cabbage Dinners & Boxtys,

Skillet Fried Potato Pancakes

with Horseradish Creme.

The Corned Beef and Cabbage is excellent!  The Boxtys have a pancake consistency and the Horseradish Creme has a delicate flavor.  I think they're very good.   Eric prefers my Latkes, which are made with more coarsely shredded potatoes.  

Now, he wants Latkes, which I don't want to make in our motorhome, because they are fried.  I can use our Portable Induction Cooktop outdoors, or use my mother-in-law's kitchen after Eric and I return to Rotterdam, New York.  

I need a drink after all this discussion of where to fry Latkes. 

We ordered Green Shamrocks...

Captain Pineapple, Blackberry,

Banana & Rum Finished with

Pineapple & Orange Juice,

Topped Myers Rum & a

Pinch of Luck from a

Leprechaun

Eric and I are now properly hydrated.  Let's go find an Irish Bar.
