Louie's Backyard is a true entertainment hub on South Padre Island going on for over 30 years.
Nightly entertainment includes karaoke, music, and a live DJ. During Spring Break every year, it is THE place to be for out-of-towners as Louie's fills to capacity for national hip hop and other singing acts that entertain, plus the nightly Miss Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest.
Just in front of the entrance to Louie's is nightly bungee jumping. After our huge meal, I couldn't coax Rhonda to try.
For the adventure seeker, it is the second tallest tower in North America. For more ground loving adventure seekers, they may want to try the drink dubbed the "hurricane on steroids" (aka, Charlie's Cherry). The Whammy signature drink was plenty enough for me.
