It is a gorgeous place and they do an excellent job setting things up how you want them and communicating efficiently. Everything turned out perfect!!! It will always be a special place to us! Thank you for everything.“

“We sat at the bar and Johnny & Maddie were so sweet, personable and helpful. I took Maddie’s suggestion on the great balls of fire appetizer & tsunami sushi roll and both were delicious. My friend had the cheeseburger and it was huge and delicious. Amazing service. Knew what we wanted before we even said it. Extra sauces, more water, etc. definitely recommend.“

“"Believe me the very next time our SnowBird relatives and friends come to visit/vacation Shaggy's Bar/Grill Restaurant definitely will be the only recommended place on the Beach to wine and dine. An Awesome place to eat. Fabulous place on the water over looking Inlet, delicious Food and our waitress KATIE was so tentative, helpful, warm and friendly with a DO COME BACK Atmosphere she Created. The upstairs Outdoors atmosphere and Vibes are awesome, we started off with the Seafood Fries, for our Main meal was the Captain's Platter for 2, was such a large portion we still had to ask for a carryout. My wife and I were celebrating our 52nd Anniversary, her 76th birthday and my 79th birthday on 16th of February. The Manager was Extremely Welcoming and Super Nice. Once KATIE found out we were Celebrating Our Birthdays and Anniversary She Gifted us each with slices of Fantastic Tasting Red Velvet Cake. The Food was delivered fast and Hot! Once again Very Friendly Staff, Definitely a 5-Star Restaurant!!“

“my first time back to Pensacola in a long long time. and we were having kind of a bummer of a morning until we found the shaka! and Steven the bartender, one of the best! thanks to the entire bar for providing us a great spot to watch the Blue Angels today and have a tang banger or two ;-)“

“Anyone who knows me knows how much i love bamboo Willie's. It really is a staple at pensacola beach. No matter what mix of a frozen drink you get, it's always good. I live the tropical itch with the banana and of course you have to get a floater!“

“Amazing place. Need to come in and have lunch or drinks in the evening. Beautiful view of the beach and ocean. Great people and amazing service.“

“Jordan is truly one of the best bartenders around! From the moment I sit down, she already knows my go-to drink—an Espresso Martini—and she makes it perfectly every single time. Her friendly personality, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality always make the experience feel special.

Old Hickory is such a creative and nostalgic bar with an atmosphere that's unlike anywhere else. The décor has so much character and charm, creating the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. Whether you're stopping by for a handcrafted cocktail or simply enjoying the unique ambiance, it's an experience worth coming back for. Jordan's exceptional service is the icing on the cake and a big reason why I'll keep returning!“

“Elegant cocktail bar in downtown Pensacola. Well crafted drinks served by friendly and professional bartenders. Came in early January and had some seriously scrumptious servings of beautiful drinks. We didn’t get any food, but the kitchen is open late for your night noshing.“

“I'm not really a bar person and never thought I would enjoy one locally. But my friend introduced me to Sleepy Hollow and we have a blast at karaoke 🎤 night with great vibes and people along with it. Michael, and Dmitri are great and make everyone feel welcomed along with the rest of the crew but I'm still learning names 😁!“

“had a blast. the music was hype!! and so was the food“

“Great service considering the level of business in downtown during peak times. Excellent customer service by the bartenders. Super friendly. Bartenders ensure customers are drinking water when they feel it is necessary.“

“My husband and I stopped by on a whim today while in Pensacola and sat at the bar. Great conversation and fabulous stout beer options. Akil made me the best blackberry margaritas ever! Honestly, it was the best tasting margarita that I have had since I moved to the coast. Thank you sir. We shall be back!“

“Enjoyed an Amazing meal there last evening. Our first time at TGM and the food and service were Excellent!!!! Highly recommend 🤗“

“Great staff and atmosphere. The daytime DJ keeps everyone engaged. So much fun!“

“This was our first visit. I had the lean brisket burnt ends, my friends had the ribs. Both were wonderful! The burnt ends were tender and the ribs were moist and tender as well—Perfection! Cheyenne, our server was kind, very friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I wish I could give 10 stars. We were told the BBQ is no# 1 in Florida and no# 9 in the nation. I do not doubt it! Also, the ladies’ restroom was very clean.“

“The music is usually really good and the bartenders don't have you waiting as long as some other bars. Karaoke on Tuesdays Thursdays is really fun and wireless, you can walk around when you sing. The shooting games are really fun, but you die really easily and have to pay a whole dollar each time you die if you wanna continue.“

“Great wait staff wonderful food. Good prices“

“Food is great ! Baccwood Is GREAT ❤️! We LOVEEE COMING HERE“

“Love that I feel at home here. Ro is the best!“

“What a cute little place! Chill and cozy vibes! Food was yummy and our waitress was very nice! Great place to try if you’re downtown.“

“Best tequila bar I’ve ever experienced in my life. Bartender was fun and attentive. Bar manager created the best tequila cocktail list, that as a bar manager in Dallas Texas, makes me impressed and jealous. If you miss this place. You are missing out.“

“I've been a couple times and and the atmosphere and staff are fantastic. The website to order tickets is borderline disgusting! Unreadable white text on beige background. I had to highlight everything to purchase tickets and it was very tedious. Whoever designed the website colors needs to be punished.“

“This bar embodies all the essentials of a genuine dive. The musty aroma of mildew blends naturally with the smell of the cheap, no-frills liquor served from an old sink behind the bar. Its decor is original and unpretentious, featuring worn wooden furniture, flickering neon signs, and vintage posters that add to its nostalgic charm. Patrons can enjoy affordable, strong drinks while playing classic games like pool, darts, and pinball on well-used machines. There's also a spacious outdoor area with string lights and weathered tables, perfect for relaxing outside. I especially appreciate the variety of games offered, providing entertainment for hours. The service staff is friendly and attentive, and drinks are consistently strong and inexpensive. I also love the old-fashioned tab system written on sheets of paper, which takes me back to my home bar the nob hill inn in Denver. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean, with original harvest gold tiles and a large, well-lit mirror ideal for selfies. In short, if you're seeking a new home, you've just found it!“

“This is my home away from home! As a recovered alcoholic I never thought I'd be comfortable hanging out in one of my favorite social settings, but at LA Cabaña I'm safe, at home, welcomed and not pressured to drink. I cannot begin to sing enough praises, the people, the food, the atmosphere all of it is awesome! ✌️🤟🍀“

“I've never had a bad experience here. Great food and good drinks. They do close a bit earlier than some of the beach spots.“

“10 out 10 on the St Patrick’s day special of Corn beef and cabbage.“

“The ex-prison guard bouncer in the back of this bar is racist and aggressive. He is disrespectful, degrading and has no place at this bar. This used to be my favorite bar and now I have such a bad taste in my mouth about it that I don't ever want to go back. Such a horrible experience.“

“spectacular spot and I love it. The people are awesome and they come all the time to chill in peace“

“Local spot, we come here after work every other week. Marissa is a great bartender, the other bartenders are also good. They have rumple and i cant ask for much more than that. Be nice if you left the door open for the smoke to air out, as i smell like an ash tray when i get home, but it wont stop me from coming. Always a good place and never a problem“

“Excellent! We sat in the bar area and they were very busy but the lady bartender was right on everything and very fast and friendly“

“I want to give a shoutout to my girl Nikko!!! I’ve eaten at this location 2 times in the last week and it’s because of the excellent service and food!! She waited on me the 1st time and today she remembered me!! Thank you Nikko !! We will be back to see you!!!“
