Bars & Pubs on Pensacola Beach
Our barrier island boasts some of the most authentic and character-filled watering holes that you’ll find anywhere. Wherever you venture, the island’s dominant vibe is always casual. It’s come as you are and just enjoy. We’ve got historic dive bars whose walls and barflies have weathered countless storms, tiki bars with views of the emerald green Gulf, and chic boardwalk dance nightclubs. Many beachside bars have spacious patios with salty sea air wafting through.
Red Fish Blue Fish
Check out this local favorite with “the best backyard on the beach” overlooking the Santa Rosa Sound. Red Fish Blue Fish is serving up cold beer, wine, beach cocktails, and fresh frozen drinks. Drink like a local and try beer from Pensacola Bay Brewery and Gulf Coast Brewery or grab a panhandle famous “Bushwhacker.” Enjoy the casual, fun atmosphere and hang on the bar swings while you watch the sunset!
