This is a really fun place to visit and is on the border of Alabama and Florida. It features 4 stages with live bands. It has a small cover charge of $5.00. There is no food served here, but a walk across the street has another extension of this in the FB Y Club!

This is a really cool locals type of music hall that features a variety of music. Tickets are usually stand up only unless you get lucky enough to pay extra for a seat. This is more of a late night drinks and music place. Very casual.

Great place to go during the summer time on Tuesdays for a free concert series called "Bands on the Beach" . This runs all summer. The concert goes from 6-9pm and there are several restaurants near by. You can also pack a cooler with snacks but they do not allow glass on the beach. So all your wine should be out of a box for this event. Did I mention FREE ?

Amazing Beignets that are made from an authentic Louisiana cook... Better than New Orleans in our opinion. Locals hang out.

Amazingly fresh seafood dishes! Many locals go here because the food is consistantly great. A little more pricey than the Shrimp Basket, but a little higher quality food. Good sized portions.

Sightseeing

This is a really cool local icon that has a lot of rich Pensacola History to share. It is very affordable and something that can be toured on the same day as the Naval Museum because they are both very close to each other. Affordable and relaxing. Some walking up and down stairs is required so wear comfortable shoes.

Shopping

The freshest seafood right off the boat. Affordable and probably one of the highlights of visiting this area of Pensacola because this fish market also has a deli that serve free samples of chowder and home made breads. There is also a small market to pick up beer and essentials for cooking a wonderful feast at home for a fraction of what you would pay in a local restaurant.
