One of the best places on the beach. They're known for their oyster sampler. You'll get to taste the buffalo blue, Cajun, parmesan, Rockefeller, spicy lafitte and imperial. Be ready to line up before they open! Or get yourself on the waitlist online ...
Peg Leg Pete's
Literally my favorite place on the beach. I can't go there without getting one or two of their Chili Margaritas, made with their house infused pineapple jalapeno tequila. SO good. The right amount of heat and sweet.
They're RIGHT on the beach so you can dip your toes in the water and hang out. The whole place is outdoors, but there's also shade if you need it! They have games and swings in the bar.
The food is great but the whole atmosphere is better!
Red Fish Blue Fish Pensacola Beach
A waterfront restaurant with a unique menu and delicious cocktails. Start with the fried green tomatoes and end with the deep fried oreos. And bring your pup to the patio!
Jaco's Bayfront Bar & Grille
Famous for their 18 cent bean soup, the ceilings full of dollar bills and their on site brewed beer! Stay for the live music and the great food. The menu is huge! Check out the gift shop while you're waiting on a table. They're busy!
McGuire's Irish Pub
The best brunch I've had in Pensacola. Started with the fried green tomatoes (my favorite) and tried their breakfast tacos. Whoa, they were SO dang good. Such a cute little spot! Great menu selection and great adult cocktails!
Ruby Slipper
Super cute cafe and coffee shop. Inside there's an oil and vinegar store, a space that offers cooking classes, a wine bar, and plenty of cute kitchen items. Great place to grab breakfast or brunch before you hit Palafox. Make sure you get the grits! ...
Bodacious Shops
Such a fun place. Literally exactly what it says. Crabs on the beach! Located right on the water, they have a huge menu! They offer a Sunday brunch with bottomless champagne 🍾. Make sure you get the great balls of fiery crab and a roll from their de...
Crabs
Probably one of the best meals you'll ever have in your life. The black garlic miso oysters are amazing. The fried snapper collar will change your life. And the drink menu is gorgeous.
Pearl & Horn
Get your sushi fix here next time! Try their namesake roll!
The Slippery Mermaid Navarre, FL
A chill location on the beach for delicious food. Enjoy Floyd Flounder's Phenomenal Flounder Chowder right on the beach with some live entertainment. And don't forget a tropical drink in their souvenir cup!
Flounder's Chowder House
Such a good beachside bar! The fried green tomatoes are one of my favs. Add the crawfish! The menu is pretty big! But has different options like a jerk shrimp or a poke bowl. The tacos are fantastic. The best part is, they're dog friendly! They have ...
Shaggy's Pensacola Beach
A unique coastal place on the beach. Inside and outside dining located on the second floor so the views are beautiful anywhere you sit.

If you're craving a sports bar on the beach, check out Sidelines! Daily specials including cheap beer prices. After dinner walk next door to UFO golf and play some putt putt!
Sidelines Sports Bar and Restaurant
Water Pig BBQ is owned by my favorite beach spot, Red Fish Blue Fish. Since they're next door, you know they have a beautiful spot on the water. They're known for their BBQ, but also have a delicious brunch on the weekends.
If you're REALLY hungry, try their Meat Tsunami challenge! $99. A TON of food. And victory if you finish everything in under an hour.
