Housed in what was a vacant commercial building in downtown Opelika, Zazu Gastropub is now a stunning five-level restaurant striking in character with sandy, old bricks, wide-plank flooring, flickering gas lanterns, and repurposed wooden beams from the Old Mill in  Opelika.  

Zazu Gastropub focuses on fresh local ingredients to create fine dining cuisine in a laid-back, pub-like atmosphere. Featuring over 20 Craft Beers on tap as well as an extensive wine list. They make everything from scratch that they can, and they try to use as many local ingredients as possible! They have partnered with Opelika Grows, Alabama Seafood Co., and Oakview Farms Granary for the best produce. Zazu's menu ranges from Cast Iron Gulf Oysters as a starter to Sweet Tea Chicken and Cornbread as an entree. There is something for everyone at Zazu Gastropub with their wide-variety menu.  

The Fried Sweet Tea Chicken and Cornbread were named one of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama. Click here to read the article and see why the dish earned its spot.
