Great quaint bar with a cozy atmosphere. My happy place.

They did a wonderful job decorating for Christmas. I absolutely love the nightmare before Christmas decor and custom glasswear. This time, I ordered two different holiday drinks, one of which was a fresh eggnog. Perfectly creamy and chilled.

Great atmosphere don't get me wrong whoever decorated for the holidays went nuts. However, me and my partner got there around 1900. Got served water and order taken rather quickly, but this is where the good times start to turn. We were waiting on our drinks to come out for a while and start to look around for the server that sat us, I notice that the entire staff is filling shots with some of the patrons, this is fine if it's one time. (Also not to be that guy but they had a very small child taking mock shots take that with what you will) They took repeated shots while working during Friday evening rush. Their professionalism quickly went away. When they served us they spilt my partners drink and bumped into the table, later while I'm waiting on my partner to leave the bathroom she does it again and this time asked me in a very slurred voice if my order has been taken. my partner ordered a sweet spicy drink with spice on the rim and had lip gloss on so of course her lip marked the glass while she drank, mine was extremely strong, I've never had that drink before so I'm not 100% sure but it sure tasted like a normal whiskey on the rocks with an orange slice in it. We finish our drinks, and my partner orders a second of the same. This time when our drinks come out none spilt, however the glass was dirty with the same lip marks left from her earlier. You can do that in your own home, you cannot do that in a restaurant or bar setting. There are very clear and precise rules and regulations on this, I know because I've had to spend my Saturday mornings at work being talked at about these things. In my own conclusion the atmosphere and the overall setting are very cozy and nice, but I'm not there to sight see.
Tldr; nice bar, but unprofessional and low-key dirty

Place is a must every time I'm in Pensacola. Good libations and chill atmosphere. Love how there's a different theme for the seasons. Plus you can't go wrong with the literal wall of Whiskey. Definitely one of my favorite places on the strip.

Good place. Old fashioned is good. Whiskey, scotch, and bourbon selection is crazy. It's hard to get space to order at the bar when they are slammed. No food.
What a cool place with wonderful craft drinks. I enjoyed the Bust a Move! It is a wonderful coffee flavored drink. I had to have 2! I love the vibe and my husband really liked his smoked old fashion. It is a small establishment but worth the visit.

Didn’t have any food, no rating for that. Otherwise the place was awesome. 5 stars all the way. Corbin, our bartender, was both extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Terrific ambience and beautiful interior. The whiskey display was quite a sight to behold. I consider it a must see in the historic district of downtown Pensacola. Can’t wait to go back.

Love the drinks here. They are always delicious. They seem to have a regularly changed menu of drinks depending on the season, etc. I remember having an especially delicious drink served inside of a Santa mug during December one year. I really love that they offer seasonal beverages, and the bartenders really seem to enjoy and take pride in their craft when making these drinks. They're definitely expertly crafted. And the bar itself I find very beautiful and old fashioned. My ONLY problem with this bar, which is not a HUGE issue to me personally, is the music choices, lol. My advice would be to hopefully get a better feel for the clientele that comes in and play to the crowd. It's still a good bar regardless. I recommend this bar to ANYONE, especially if you are visiting Pensacola and would like to check out the bars downtown.
