Known simply as “The Flora-Bama” to locals, this beachside bar is as full of history as it is whiskey. In 1964, when this little stretch of highway was first completed, the package store was practically the only place around. But as traffic increased, so did business, and the Flora-Bama became legendary for its musical acts and annual events. (Fun Fact: Jimmy Buffett’s hit song “Bama Breeze” is said to be written about this roadhouse.) Come in the daytime for a chilled-out vibe, or visit at night to experience—well, you never know what.
In the heart of the Historic District is Pensacola's equivalent of New Orleans's French Quarter. In fact, you may think you've traveled to Louisiana when you enter any of its seven bars and two courtyards offering an eclectic mix of live music. College students pack the place on Thursday, tourists come on the weekend, and military personnel from six nearby bases are stationed here nearly all the time. This is a classic Pensacola landmark, and on most nights there's a small cover after 8 pm.
Music now fills the space of this 112-year-old former Masonic lodge. An impressive variety of bands and acts have floated through the 850-person venue, which offers mostly standing room. The box office is open weekdays between noon and 5 pm, as well as before all events (one hour before start time).
