RIPTIDES

Watch out Sidelines, Riptides Grill and Tiki Bar is giving the oldest sports bar on the beach a run for its money. This is the place to catch a game, indulge in fresh American cuisine, and sip on your favorite libations. Located just inside the Holiday Inn Resort  Pensacola Beach, Riptides has a beachy vibe with nearly as many surfboards as TVs covering its walls. With more than 20 screens to choose from, you’ll have no problem finding the game, tournament, or match you just can’t miss. Whether you’re a hotel guest or a legendary local, this is the sports bar for you.

Breakfast is served seven days a week, including hearty selections like the Sunrise Sandwich or El Gordito Burrito. Prepping for a day of surfing? Riptides offers an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet for only $14.50. That should do the trick.

For lunch and dinner, you’ll find everything from Wipeout Nachos to Blue Angel Wings, Closeout Burgers to Grouper baskets. For something on the lighter side, super fresh salads are always in season. Riptides welcomes large groups and kiddos too, so if you’re looking to share a leisurely meal while watching the Alabama-Auburn (insert your favorite rivals here) game, call ahead and they’ll do their best to accommodate.
