Not open Mondays. Totally weird spot, but something to talk about. Cash only. Burgers come one way and once they sell out, they're gone for the day. It's a hole in the wall, but if you're looking for an interesting spot for lunch, give it a go!

One of the best restaurants in Pensacola. Tapas and inspired small dishes. Nice atmosphere. I recommend going with a group so you can try more dishes and not fill up too quickly. My favorite part aside from the food is the dining experience that centers around taking your time with good conversation. Dress a little more nicely here, but if you must, flip flops are probably acceptable.

I dig this place for lunch. Real easy-going atmosphere. Dinner is served a bit later than other places too. Large sandwiches, I recommend splitting with a friend. Full bar. Late night. Karaoke jams. Outdoor patio. Bring a dog.

This is a good later-night stop. Has the feel of a dive bar, but isn't quite. Get your drinks from the bartender with the grey beard in the front bar and you'll save money and forget how you got home. The have live music some times, a pool table, a back patio if you like to chain smoke, and a guy who has a BBQ set up for late night munchies.

This place is right on the border of Florida and Alabama, literally. It's a giant shack with Gulf front beach access, so it's an awesome place day or night. Seriously great live music on multiple stages all day and all night. Dance your face off or hang out on the beach with a box of crawfish.

Beach front bar across from the original FloraBama. Live music in the sand, awesome bushwackers, decent menu. Its the boaty, beachier version of what's across the street.

If the traffic to Pensacola Beach is unbearable, as it sometimes is, head West instead towards Perdido Key for more beautiful white sand beaches with less congestion. This beach also has shaded picnic areas, fresh water, and nice enough bathrooms with showers.

One of the only fully sand bottom rivers in the world! This place is amazing for day AND overnight tubing and canoe trips. It's a bit over an hour away, but the price is right and the nature is beautiful. Try calling Uncle Bob's or another rental place on the river for accessible activities.

Everything Else
Razor's Edge is a gym downtown that focuses on CrossFit, but has a laid back atmosphere so you can choose to do a class, or just do your own thing. I believe drop-in fees are 20$, but maybe if you mention Tracy sent you, you might get a few bucks knocked off.
