The best place for upscale cocktails in downtown Pensacola. Great menu selection and employees are always friendly and offer great service. They were able to answer questions about rum selections well as well.

What an awesome place to enjoy a fantastic drink. Daphne makes THE BEST Kennedy Martini and the Old Fashion is incredible!

They have food but I did not order so u can't speak to the taste or quality. Went for a drink. Maybe a little higher than other bars in the area. Bar is a trendy place. Seemed like a pretty popular place. It was busy so service was not great.

Came in for a quick bite & cocktail before the Katt Williams show. Calista gave great recommendations, service and excellent cocktails! The tacos & deviled eggs were delish! The establishment as a whole is a bit dim and the seating can be tight at the bar area.Constructive Criticism; More illuminating lights by the spirit wall and suggesting a spirits list that would likely boost higher average sales! As a bourbon & scotch fella, it felt like I was being an inconvenience asking about pricing for certain bottles and asking what certain bottles were because I couldn’t see them from the establishment being dim.

The Kennedy is what I consider the best craft bar in Pensacola. Why? For a lot of reasons. I love the atmosphere here. It is upscale but also casual enough to make one comfortable no matter the occasion or outfit you have on. We sit at the bar and interact with the bartenders most of the time and they are always friendly and they do not hesitate to discuss what they are doing when asked. What about the drinks? They are fantastic! I do not know what else to say about them. They are made with great care, and the bartenders are some of the very best in Pensacola.

We went here for my birthday.Two stars only because I’m confident the main bartender makes phenomenal drinks. The guy that was working alongside her, not so much. My drink tasted like really bad apple juice. My friends drink was also poorly made. The guy we had as our “bartender” gave terrible customer service as well. $40 thrown away ?

Been here numerous times. Try to stop in for a drink when I'm out. On occasion I will grab a bite to eat. Korean inspired type menu with small bites. I tried a new menu item today. Also recommend carne asada tacos and pork belly deviled scotch eggs. That grilled cheese was amazing!! Crispy sourdough with a mix of cream cheese and Gouda with a hint of jalepeño, mushrooms and carmelized onions... WOW! If you can bear the wait, please try a food item!! The drinks are custom and menu changes every so often. The service and wait times for drinks and food is not all the time but expect it when it gets busy in there. Great atmosphere and quirky art.

Once upon a time, I would of rated 3 stars. The menu was far too complicated for the mixologists to keep up with demand. Cocktails with 7 - 10 different ingredients take a long time, but I respect it.HOWEVER - The cocktail menu has simplified, and the service has sped up tremendously as a result! I'm happy about that, and absolutely would reccomend.

Came here about 6 PM on Saturday 24 June 2023 and was NOT impressed ... not only was there no Tito's vodka available, they would not add more alcohol to their signature drinks even though we said we would pay extra ... our daughter in law stated that she has been to The Kennedy a handful of times and NEVER had a good experience = we shall NOT be going back.
