The Neon List: Our Favorite Late-Night Spots Around Town

Because the party doesn’t stop when you leave Neon Moon.

At Neon Moon, we’re all about keeping the night alive—soulful cocktails, retro vibes, and music that moves you. But we’re not selfish about it. We love Ocean Springs, and we know that when the clock strikes late, there’s a whole world of after-dark gems just waiting to be explored.

So we’re spilling our secrets: here’s the Neon List—a curated guide to our favorite local spots when you’re riding the night wave and not ready to go home.

🌙 1. The Wilbur Bar

Tucked inside The Roost Hotel, this cocktail den brings moody sophistication with a Southern twist. Their Old Fashioned? Flawless. Their ambiance? Like sipping inside a noir film.

🎤 2. The Juke Joint

Live music, strong drinks, and a wild backyard that feels like a Mississippi backyard party gone deliciously off the rails. Expect blues, country, and late-night dance-offs under string lights.

🍕 3. Bootlegger’s Pizza Parlor

Because after a few craft cocktails, nothing hits like greasy, glorious pizza. Open late and always filled with laughter, this is where spontaneous afterparties are born.

🍷 4. Mosaic Tapas Restaurant

A great stop for a second round or late-night bites that are fancier than you expected at that hour. Plus, their wine list is an entire vibe.

💃 5. Red Apple Lounge

If Neon Moon is the sultry slow dance, Red Apple is the bold kiss at the end of the night. With a Tarantino-inspired aesthetic, themed cocktails, and cinematic flair, it’s the perfect place to turn up the drama.

Pro Tips for a Legendary Night Out:

Start at Neon Moon with a signature cocktail and snack.
Hit two spots from the Neon List—mix mellow with rowdy.
Keep your Uber app ready.
Wear something that can survive dancing, snacking, and a possible 2am selfie session.

Ocean Springs after dark is a choose-your-own-adventure—and we’re proud to be stop number one. So grab your crew, pace yourself, and let the neon lights lead the way.
