50 Best Bars in Pensacola

“really cool place i met few people being frist time in there. I like bikers night and Fridays and weekends“

“Chef Rusty’s lobster Mac and Cheese changed my life 🤤🤤“

“I’ve been going to the flora bama since 1980. No matter how small or how large the crowd, the atmosphere is there! I can sit there and think back about the days when a group of friends would spend the weekend there and none of us had money to stay in a hotel. We slept under the stars on the beach or in our cars . Wash off and go back inside and dance the night away. Walk in crawl out, through the open windows that were close to the ground. Fun times!“

“I had read a prior review that said the people were unfriendly so was not sure what to expect. We love to visit other Moose Lodges when we travel. We went to the Pensacola Moose Lodge tonight and the bartender, Kay, was so friendly as were all the members that came in while we were there. We are so grateful for their hospitality & look forward to our next visit!“

“Old Hickory Whiskey Bar is, without a doubt, Pensacola’s definitive whiskey bar!

But it’s so much more than just a place to grab a pour—they serve some of the absolute best artisan drinks you'll find anywhere. As someone who loves collecting unique, exotic bottles from my travels, I can confidently say the craftsmanship here is on another level. The showmanship and sheer effort the bartenders put into their craft is phenomenal. Their custom and seasonal drink menus seem to change every single month, making every visit a totally new and exciting experience.

The atmosphere is completely unmatched downtown. It has this incredible, intimate warm glow that pulls you right in, making it the perfect date night spot when I want to enjoy a relaxed evening out.

If you want top-tier drinks, amazing service, and a truly unique vibe in Pensacola, this is the place to be!“

“Always have a great time Great staff.“

“If you haven’t been to the shack you’re definitely missing out! Excellent service, good atmosphere, great bartenders! Friday nights are awesome with Twisted Tunes. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Ice cold beer and great friends“

“I love the sleepy hollow. The owner Jennifer is so sweet. The atmosphere is friendly, diverse and welcoming. There is a variety of music and amazing bartenders. Really just a great place to relax and hang out while you forget about the day you had at work. 😂“

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

“Very clean bar, smoking is outside which can be a good thing or bad thing depending on how you want to view that. Nice pool tables, beer is cold, the bartender on duty was pleasant and friendly. I would recommend this establishment to others.“

“Best bar on the beach! Great atmosphere and phenomenal, friendly staff! Warren is the BEST! We make this bar our nightly stop every time we’re in the area. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“So romantic and delicious! Best date ever 🌷💖✨“

“Madison was the most personable bartender that I have ever come across. She even sang a song during karaoke with me! I will definitely be coming back, love it here!!!“

“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.“

“After so many restaurant/bars and trying to many, I was thoroughly surprised by this one.

The place is a vibe, solid price drinks, and the biggest surprise of all, FRESH FOOD.

Holy moly I can't believe I'm typing this but the wings were GENUINELY freshly fried. I can't remember the last time a bar didn't have frozen wings. Delicious and awesome vibe. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“We visit Orange Beach a couple times a year and this is our favorite spot for dinner. The food is great, prices are reasonable and wait staff are friendly and personable. Had the best fish and chips I've eaten anywhere and love the gumbo and fried shrimp“

“Vibes are high. Beer is cold. Crab hash puppies are yummm. Good service.“

“awesome, amazing place, must visiting“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s hands down my favorite place to go eat in this area.“

“We loved this place! 🩷 our server was wonderful and our food was great. We will make the hour drive just to come back here 🩷“

“Best bar in town. Great bartenders, prices and Atmosphere. Pool, darts, karaoke.“

“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.“

“Love love love ❤️ Rosie o Grady is awesome“

“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! ✌️🤟🍀“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️Five Stars for us. Great food and the best service.“

“Great Marina at Bayou Grande; just need to do a little dredging so we can use our boats!“

“We had a very big group there this week & our server Christiane was on top of it!! Oh and try the Asian Thai salad😋“

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

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“Had a fantastic spring break ending dinner tonight!
Everyone enjoyed their food. Salmon, mahi mahi, coconut shrimp, etc! And don't miss their handmade key lime pie and bread pudding! They also have an immaculate salted caramel cheesecake!
Service was top notch, and ambiance was great for a family dinner!“

“Best food on the island at the best price! Chef Michael whipped up an amazing blackened grouper sandwich that can’t be beat. Server Shannon was fantastic! Cool local vibe (and I’m a local) in a great atmosphere. You MUST try this place and I highly recommend it!!!!“

“It’s an organization that cares about its members, community country and guests. They mirror what you offer. Happy to be part of an organization that my Grandfather, mother and uncles were members of. Some of the nicest memories I have as a child were the children’s Christmas parties. I a received stocking that always contained An orange, small gift, and some candy and what ever else they could stuff in it,“

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“I love Brandi! So glad that you added her to your crew with Sherri! Such a great team!!!!“

“Such a great, new spot. Very chill vibe. Good drinks. Good DJ on the 1's and 2's. Awesome wait staff, and our Proper Burgers were probably the best burgers in town.“

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

“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.“

“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“
