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.

I have been waiting to return to Pensacola just to have Kennedy's signature gin martini. They have converted me from vodka martinis, thos I've not had a swoon worthy gin martini since Kennedy. I'm hooked. Food this time was not as hot and fresh as last time, but I really don't care. The martini was cold and dirty. Plenty of olives to make me happy. It's really all you need. Daughter gets the espresso martini, but when there's gin martinis waiting, why bother.

The Kennedy has become our favorite bar in downtown Pensacola ! Bridgette and Sophie are always on top of our orders and always professional and witty! Special thanks to the bartenders for making awesome drinks in a timely manner. Can't wait until the next round! Cheers!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Experience at The Kennedy
I recently visited The Kennedy, and I can confidently say it was one of the best cocktail bar experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was stylish, warm, and inviting — the perfect mix of upscale and relaxed.
The appetizers were absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was full of flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. It wasn’t just bar food — it was gourmet-level small plates that perfectly complemented the drink menu.
Speaking of drinks, the cocktails were next-level. Balanced, creative, and expertly crafted, each one was a work of art in both taste and presentation. The bartender clearly know their craft and bring both passion and precision to their creations.
The service was just as impressive — friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing.
If you’re looking for a place that delivers on every level — food, drinks, ambiance, and service — The Kennedy should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Atmosphere was great. Drinks were amazing. Bartender was sweet and good service. The only negative was I tried the espresso martini and asked for something else because I didn’t care much for it and still got charged for the drink I took 1 sip of. I still plan on coming back though and next time I know what and what not to get.

I had a very negative interaction with a bartender that works here named Conor Wahl. He was very aggressive about me voicing my conservative opinions. He was trying to get my information so he could intimidate. Im a first generation immigrant and I feel like he targeted me. He wanted to make sure I knew he was intimidating me too. He shouldn't have a job after this interaction.

This is one of my bestie and I’s favourite spot downtown. It’s very classy and always has a great vibe. We had food for the first time and it was delicious!!! Drinks are always different and fun. Give this place a try if you are downtown
Went on a Sunday afternoon so take my review with a grain of salt. Was quiet, and felt sophisticated. Good selection of spirits and decent menu. Friendly staff. The food options are limited but have an option for most tastes. My dish was superb. About average price for higher end bars.

Bridget was the rudest waitress I’ve ever encountered. Threw insults at us as if she was funny and told us we were wrong multiple times about how drinks were made and even how they were pronounced. We sat at a high top and she yelled at my friend from behind the bar to come point out the liquor he requested because she couldn’t find it, causing an emberassing scene. Then said it was his fault because he pronounced the liquor wrong. That was one of the many awful interactions we had with her right up to leaving. This place obviously has talented mixologists and we really wanted to try more but stopped after one round because of how rude and patronizing Bridget was. Get better service and this place could be great.
Good drinks, at great prices.
