The Juke Joint
11 p.m., Ocean Springs—Have a Proper Drink
Once you reach downtown Ocean Springs, park the car. Your
designated driver has done enough.
First stop is Red Apple Lounge on Government Street.
The intimate cocktail lounge has a decidedly Quentin
Tarantino-inspired personality, right down to drinks with names
pulled from his cinematic universe. It’s darker, swankier, and a
considerable change of pace from beer and flying axes.
Have one good cocktail. Argue about which Tarantino movie is
actually the best.
There will be no consensus.
Late, Ocean Springs—One More Stop
Finish at The Juke Joint.
This is where the itinerary officially gives up.
The late-night Ocean Springs hangout offers live music,
comedy, karaoke and other entertainment depending on the
night, with indoor and outdoor spaces and a kitchen that keeps
the night going when dinner suddenly feels like it happened
yesterday.
By now, you’ve crossed all three coastal counties, thrown axes,
sampled local beer, upgraded to cocktails, and settled absolutely
nothing.
You’ve also probably accumulated at least one story that will
get better every time somebody tells it.
That’s a pretty good night out.
