50 Best Bars in Pensacola

“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!“

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

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

“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 🤤🤤“

“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“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“awesome, amazing place, must visiting“

“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!“

“Always have a great time Great staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ice cold beer and great friends“

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

“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 😁!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I'm 16 & go in here & get drunk every under 21 lets meet & get drunk come one come all“

“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!“

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

“Great wait staff wonderful food. Good prices“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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 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.“

“possibly the best meal of our lives! we got the fried calamari as an appetizer, 10/10. for entrees, we got the stuffed grouper and shrimp alfredo, both were absolutely amazing. and kevin was an amazing waiter, he was very attentive, asked us questions about our travel, and was all around amazing! we also tried the cheesecake of the day which was caramel, and it very well was the best ever. 100/10 recommend this place. we will be back the next time we visit!!!“

“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! ✌️🤟🍀“

“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😋“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“Love love love ❤️ Rosie o Grady is awesome“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Tonight my family and I stopped in for dinner. It was a little while before someone came by our table but when we did see a server we found that he was brought in because the bartender and 2 servers walked out right after we were seated. Aside from that we had phenomenal service and all the employees and the manager kept their cool even with the inconvenience they f the walk outs. Having worked in hospitality myself I know how rude people can get in these situations. I applaud the staff.“

“Got the Bairdi crab when visiting a few weeks ago! Some of the best crab legs I’ve ever eaten, well worth the money! If you can, give them a try! Next time we are down we will be back!“

“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“
