Very nice mellow vibe! Had a blast with the bartenders ❤

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.

I've heard great things about this place so the fiancé and I decided to try it out.

-The good: the drinks were fantastic! Really well made, balanced, flavorful, and unique. The food was great as well. The atmosphere was very relaxing, classy, and inviting.

-The not good: the service was a bit lackluster. I don't expect the most attention from a bartender/mixologist, but I also don't expect to be mostly ignored. The bar staff didn't interact with us besides taking our order, dropping it off, and giving us the bill. If it wasn't for how great everything else was, I would be giving it a lower score.

Can't rate the food as we didn't have any, But my word the drinks, the drinks were outstanding. What a quaint little place, as soon as you walk in you feel like you're in a downtown California or Hollywood hotel actually. Beautiful bar, aesthetically pleasing. plenty of seating. We got there it wasn't too busy but it quickly filled. And let me tell you one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Definitely a must on palafox. Will definitely come here again

Only bar in town that carries Malört. You should go and drink some Malört.

The Kennedy is hands down one of the coolest spots in Downtown Pensacola! The mid-century vibes are absolutely stunning—it's like stepping back in time, but with all the modern touches you want in a great cocktail bar. The drink menu is incredible, with craft cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious. The atmosphere is chic yet welcoming, making it perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. If you’re a fan of great drinks and amazing design, The Kennedy is a must-visit!

We went yesterday and had the worst experience I’ve had at a bar. We had a group of 4 with 1 person that was 20. We sat down and our underage friend ordered water while the other 3 of us ordered martinis. The waitress told us you had to be 21 to enter. We said ok. If he takes a walk can we still have our drinks? To which she said yes and then we asked if we could sit outside because the inside was loud and crowded. So we went outside and she told us she’d put our drinks in and when they came out she’d bring them but our friend would have to leave. We said ok. While waiting for our drinks our underage friend and one of us took a walk but had just gotten back when the drinks I guess were ready. All of a sudden the door swung open and another lady who wasn’t our original server yelled at us that he needed to leave and that we would have to come inside to have our drinks in the rudest attitude I’ve ever encountered at an establishment. In no way was our friend trying to sneak a drink or go around rules as he had originally only ordered a water. Highly recommend O’Rileys for their espresso martinis in an environment without a nasty ass attitude.
