Flip Flops Auburn

Wednesday, I hit the grand opening of Flip Flops' Alabama stepbrother. That's right: The Columbus hot spot now has a second location at 1651 South College Street in Auburn. It's a lot bigger than the Broadway bar, and will eventually have a full kitchen.


The bar is all ages until 9 p.m. and then it switches to 19 and older. It's open noon-3 a.m. seven days a week.


Expect the same assortment of frozen drinks you see at the Columbus location. There's eight daiquiri machines. Alan snapped this excellent photo of the two hurricanes we drank.


The bar's interior is really spacious, though most partiers congregated on the patio outside. I couldn't blame them. There's tons of space out there and it was a beautiful night. Note: Don't be alarmed by the toddler in the photo above. Remember, the bar is all ages until 9.

Will I be back? Definitely. The bar should do well. They have an awesome location. The crowd on opening night was pretty college-heavy, but there were quite a few middle-aged partiers like the guys featured above.
