17 Best Cocktail Bars in Pensacola

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

“The atmosphere was laid back relax when I first got there I was very reluctant, but the moment we walked up to the door, people was very friendly. They were very complementary and as the night went on, I told my girlfriend if I ever came at the Pensacola, this is the way I would like to enjoy my evening. The bartender was great. He handled the crowd like they were only one person in there. That’s how good he was shout out to this bar“

“Nice place to sit & visit with the locals. You can count on regulars there to be friendly and remember your name. Reasonable prices as well!! Felicia, daytime bartender learns what you drink & I'd fast & efficient. Great refrigerated air to cool off with an ICE cold beer or a shot with a chase!!
Thanks Sam's for making me feel welcome. ❤️💖“

“We just had the perfect lunch here. Chef Carl, Mandylynn, and their team are so friendly and fast, and the food was AMAZING. The new lunch menu did not disappoint. This was literally the best pork I’ve eaten. So unique and flavorful!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing food and service. 10/10 would recommend. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Service was quick and friendly. Overall great experience!“

“My wife and I dined there this evening and had the Chefs blind tasting. What a fantastic experience. The waitstaff, the chef and the food were top notch. Every course was full of flavor and mind blowing pairings. Kiwi sorbet and tuna tartare? Yup! It was out of this world. Recommend and will go again. 11/10“

“Best burger in town“

“Great customer service and good selection of cigars plus fully stocked bar perfect combo“

“Old Hickory Whiskey Bar never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and perfectly suited for a relaxing evening. The dim lighting, candle glow, and shelves lined with bottles give it that classic, almost timeless feel. I ordered a pour of Lagavulin 16, and it was served with care. It was the kind of attention you expect from people who genuinely appreciate good whiskey/scotch. The staff knew their stuff and made great recommendations without being pushy. It’s not a place for food, but it’s a place for conversation, good company, and enjoying a drink the way it’s meant to be enjoyed. One of those bars that makes you slow down and savor the moment.“

“Not bad, pretty chill vibe, definitely a younger crowd bar, Not a great beer selection, nothing on tap, and a bunch of their specialty drinks seem to be gin based. I don't drink gin it gives me a raging headache. Their small menu called bites was pretty good. Overall it wasn't bad at all we'd visit again. My wife and I had several drinks and a few bites as we waited for the show at the Saenger to start.“

“So good! The upstairs vibe is our favorite, food is amazing - salads, French Onion Soup, Filet and NY Strip and bourbon sweet potato mash, but the service and care is extraordinary - Jemal is absolutely incredible - what an amazing human being and he takes great pride in his job and responsibility - hope every one has some Jemal in their life! We will be back - great food, great service and pride in each person’s role makes this place!“

“Food was amazing service was perfect. We will be back“

“Really enjoyed our lunch here, fajitas, enchiladas and tacos were delicious, great portions and very fast and friendly service. We will be returning!! Thanks!“

“Fantastic place, great food, large servings, waiter was on the ball, everyone friendly, not noisy. Will certainly come back next time we are in town.“

“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.“

“Jay High School recently rented the country club for our 2025 Prom, and we have nothing but good things to say about our experience! Every person we worked with before, during, and after our event went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you so much Jesse Sproles for all your help with our Prom!“
