The bar tender was nice. Not a great choice of beers though

First and foremost this is such a cute lounge in downtown Pensacola. There are ambient lights, lots of seating in the lounge as well as outside in the back, and based on what I’ve heard of the food, it’s great(I didn’t order food). However, I do urge the owner and staff of this lounge to be more prepared for events.
I came for the Love Island 💗 🏝️ watch party, which had a lovely set up by the way. There were themed drinks, themed games, themed snacks and party items. It was quite a busy night so understandably the two bartenders could only get to customers as quickly as they were humanly able to, and for that, I have no plights. One issue though, is that, the inconsistencies in how the drinks were presented can become a problem for people who are not familiar with cocktail making.
If a drink is normally given in a rocks glass but was served in a martini glass, someone who is unfamiliar with the contents of the drink will feel that they have been given the wrong thing/ they’ve not been given enough of what they ordered. It is important to remain consistent with the presentation of beverages to reduce the amount confusion or upset customers, even though the bartender may have made the drink exactly how it was supposed to be made. Too many times throughout the night I heard, “what did you order? Why doesn’t mine look like yours if we got the same thing?”
When it was time for the showing of Love Island, the Blend staff could not figure out how to properly connect the audio to the TV. Because of this customers had to go outside to the back to watch the show, where the only TV with sound was. Music continued to be played inside, and basketball continued to be shown on the big screen inside. This is quite inconvenient for people who had expectations of enjoying the show inside instead of being forced outside where it was already quite warm, and being congested around people wouldn’t help.
If an events is being advertised, and people are coming to the lounge specifically for the event, then it should be in the best interest of the staff to work these kinks out. People are spending their time and money to enjoy the space and had it been a popular sports competition, I am almost positive these issues would have been remedied expeditiously, but because it was just a streamed show, the lack of problem solving seemed to suggest that they didn’t really care.
Overall, the lounge is a place where people can have a good chat, tasty drinks and food and vibe to good music. I do hope they work these issues out for future events.

The bar is empty on a Saturday is because the music is blasting on the street way too loud. The management has their priorities all confused.

I have been a Blend regular since 2015. I work at a law firm downtown and used to live close. However, have not been back since before the Pandemick. I returned today to be grossly disappointed that not only I cannot have my favorite martinis in a martini glass, but also that all the specialty tacos are off the both menus. In my humble opinion, Blend is attempting to portray an image of a higher end downtown bar. Why should I be drinking a martini out of a plastic cup & build my own tacos???? Food for thought....

Must be nice when having rude employees doesn’t affect your bottom line. I get bartending is hard but you should be able to at least have some idea of what order to serve ppl. But since I wasnt waving money in the bartenders face saying hey hey me next, I was invisible. At least bars are a dime a dozen on palafox. Simple thought if chaos is overwhelming and you cant keep drinks straight in a fast paced environment maybe bartending isnt for you……. Maybe if it hadnt taken so long to order a drink we could have drank more but clearly our money wasnt missed.

My favorite bar/lounge in downtown Pensacola. All of the staff are friendly, great environment. Also a good place to get some decent food and watch sports at. I highly recommend it.

One of my favorite places in Pensacola. All of the stars are due to the bartenders, all are good and 3 in particular are excellent and I would recommend them, Samantha, Thor and Tasha. There isn't a drink they cannot whip up to perfection. If you don't like large crowds I would avoid this place on the weekends (Fri-Sat) any other day its a nice laid back spot. Great place to watch sports as well. If you are hungry, don't worry, they got you covered with decent food, Tacos, nachos etc. Make sure to stop by if you are visiting.

I've become very fond of spending my weekend nights here. The DJ's always kill it, but there really isn't any room to move around or dance. Overall great spot though!
I have never in my life been more disappointed in the service that I received at a bar. They were disrespectful. Security is extremely rude, And aggressive.! Be careful at blend! The security is not afraid to put their hands on women I’ve a accidental spilled drink…. There will be a lawsuit coming soon and I promise you I’m not the first!! And just to note this be careful with all the Google comments that you read because most of them is conflict of interest they are friends of friends of bartenders that work at Blend

Had a good time out. Nice atmosphere, good drinks and good music. A slightly younger crowd but it's to be expected since there's only so many places in downtown Pensacola. Would recommend for young adults 21-27ish.

I’ve been here over 50 times but this last time this bartender was extremely rude for no reason. It cost you nothing to be nice to people especially a paying customer.
