Jaco’s Bayfront Bar & Grill

In Downtown Pensacola, there are only a few restaurants with a view of the waterfront, but one of our favorites is definitely Jaco’s Bayfront Bar & Grille. Located at the end of Palafox Street, Jaco’s offers sweeping views of Pensacola Bay and the bustling Palafox Pier Yacht Harbor.

This also happens to be a prime spot for catching the Blue Angels practicing around lunchtime on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

However, it’s hard to beat a relaxing evening at Jaco’s watching the sunset over the bay as the yachts slowly meander in and out of the marina. Cheers to that!

The Wine Bar On Palafox

Not only do they have an extensive wine list, but also their menu is amazing and quite reasonably priced.

Whether you’re looking for a cheese board, sandwich, or small plates, The Wine Bar certainly does not disappoint. (Try the Feta Cream Cheese BLT, and you can thank us later!)

Their view doesn’t offer the same natural beauty as the other locations, but it does give an excellent opportunity for people to watch in lovely Downtown Pensacola. They also have happy hour every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., where select wines are half off! What’s not to love?

The Fish House

If you are looking for a night out with the girls, go ahead and pencil in the Fish House for Wednesday.

Starting at 5 p.m., you and your girls can hit the deck bar and get any wine on their menu (and any drink, for that matter) for $2.

Get there at the beginning of the evening for a relaxing chat and a beautiful sunset, or show up a little later to dance the night away to a live band.

Sunset Grille

If you want a relaxed and flip-flop-friendly experience, get over to the Sunset Grill in Perdido Key.

Though they don’t have the most extensive wine list, this is the place to go, if you have kids in tow.

While mom and dad enjoy the breathtaking sunset and a few quiet moments, the kids can run around on the playground, which is conveniently just a quick glance away from the sky show.

The food is also great and offers options that parents and children will love.

Red Fish Blue Fish

If you are looking for the most unique spot on Pensacola Beach for a relaxing glass of wine, look no further than Red Fish Blue Fish.

Located on the sound side, their grassy lawn is another great spot for kids, but it’s also really romantic for those who left the kids at home at night. If you want to get cozy with your significant other, grab a spot around one of their fire pits and watch the sunset.

Feeling more playful? Take advantage of their giant versions of Jenga and Connect Four!

They also have a menu full of fresh gulf seafood, when you’re ready for a bite.

Beyond The Grape

Do you like to paint? Do you like to sip wine? If you answered yes to either of those questions, chances are you like to do them at the same time.

From wine smoothies, and free wine tasting, to painting classes, Beyond The Grape is the most fun place in Pensacola to make memories with friends and family.

Pensacola, FL is a great place to enjoy some wine if you’re in the mood for a fun, social night out. With options for every mood and occasion, there’s not much that these bars can’t offer. From an extravagant dining experience to a low-key, laidback night with friends, you will find it all in Pensacola’s wineries.
