    Loaded pizza
    Janice S.

    Ok I'm in love with this place!! For one thing I love Star Trek so I fit right. They have Star Trek playing on the TV so this is awesome. The beer is cold and they have lots of excellent choices for local beers and regular beers. We opted for the cheese and bacon dip, a pizza a salad with lots of goodies and a pretzel because or drinking cold beer. The service here is top notch in the music is definitely retro 70s. I don't know if they'll let me move in, but I would like to. Looking forward to some pinball and cold beers this is 11 minutes from my front door and I can honestly say if I had to I would walk here in a hurricane.

    This place is definitely my new go to. First of all kitchen is open till 1 am!? Please and thank you. Such a unique restaurant/ bar. Ambiance 10 out of 10 - must see for your self- especially if you're a Star Trek fan... the menu has a variety of different kinds of food. Really tasty. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Again, a very unique place.

    Definitely more than a dive bar, but you would not know that from the outside or the inside. This place is incredible. Awesome food awesome atmosphere not too loud plenty of things to do. The meatball sandwich and the fried bologna sandwich you can't surpass. The hummus and pita Delicious. The pita was hot and fresh and made to order. Will definitely be back.

On Monday night we walked in and we're immediately greeted by Olivia, who was very kind, inviting, and a generally good person to sit and talk to. Gave amazing customer service and suggestions to accommodate our specific drinking taste. Tuesday night I came to get a sandwich from the food truck and Bruno was an amazing staff. His customer service and his effectiveness were astronomical and was some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. The atmosphere when first walking into Wisteria Tavern was unique, cozy, and professional. The outdoor sitting area was inviting even in rainy weather and was an all-around 10 out of 10 experience. Every time I visit Pensacola for the next 20 years, I will be coming to Wisteria Tavern. My only critique is not to wisteria Tavern, but to other bars, that are lacking in the type of experience that I had at this establishment. Again, shout out to Olivia and Bruno for being some of the best bar staff I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. PS Bruno, those sandwiches were fire.

During the holidays, this place fully leans into being a Christmas pub and the decorations really do say it all. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I had an old fashioned and my wife had a gin and tonic. Both were excellent. For food, you order directly at the bar and the food comes out from the on-site food truck or mobile kitchen setup, which works surprisingly well. Everything was well run and efficient. Service was good, the food was solid, and the overall experience felt thoughtful and intentional. This is one of only a couple true British-style pubs in the Pensacola area and it is absolutely a must experience spot when you are in town.

I won't lie, my wife looked exquisite that night! We had been down by the bar for about 10 minutes as we were waiting for our table, as is very common on almost every night! We order two mixed drinks from the bar, even though waiting in line at the bar was just as much a wait for a table at times... my wife notices a gentleman down at the end of the bar and he's eyeballing or making her feel slightly uncomfortable... and as we wait for our drinks to be made, which took an unusually long time as they were sitting at the end of the bar at the bartender tried to feel five and six hours at a time, which in itself is not in common either... so I finally get the drinks and I noticed one has a cherry and one doesn't. No big deal, I like cherries, so I took the one with the Cherry and gave my wife the one without the cherry on top. mine tastes, great, hers. She begins to complain is so very bitter and strong, and she's like "taste this and how strong it is." So, I taste hers and it has a slight bitter bite, and much stronger than mine, so I mix our drinks together to dilute hers and about that time... My wife says to me,"I'm gonna move next to you and get closer..." so, I scooted her chair over next to me, she sits in the chair, we get very close, and as I'm going in for a nice fat tongue kiss, she becomes very pliable in her sitting posture and begins to slide in her chair toward the floor as she was telling me something's not right... long story short she said we both felt the need to exit, so I put her arm around my shoulder and supported the rest of her body with my hips, and began to walk her out of the restaurant... no one would've ever known to the extent she was beginning to become paralyzed as it was all sitting in as we were walking out of the restaurant and headed back across the street to our accommodations. We barely made it to the truck... I was praying she maintained some sort of ability to be able to keep her feet to some degree. And as she began to tell me more her mouth and bottom lip begin to slur her speech, began to become very slurred and by the grace of God, and by the time we got her to our bed in the condo she couldn't move anything on her body except her lips. She was completely paralyzed.. . She was completely incapacitated and all because I drink the drink with the cherry... so I can only guess or surmise that the plan was to incapacitate me so that someone could get their hands on her while I was incapacitated, had I drank the drink that had no cherry on top! What a ride!

    It's always a good time at Peg Leg Pete's! This is a MUST stop on Pensacola Beach…read more My husband and I like sitting at the upstairs bar. There's usually a wait for a seat but they become available rather quickly and if you let the bartenders know, they'll keep an eye out for you too. When I'm with my husband he's going to order the raw oysters, EVERY TIME! lol And no wonder, they've served over 104.67 tons since June of this year ALONE! This is the place you want to get fresh, plump, briny, raw oysters if that's your thing. No matter who I'm with I'm ordering the sautéed blue crab claws EVERY TIME! lol. They are cooked perfectly. They come off easily and the garlic butter that it comes with is just the best complement to them. I ordered the mixed grill this trip with blackened grouper & shrimp & had the scallops regular grilled. It comes with garlic toast, rice & snap peas, which I switched out for broccoli. Everything was good. They could've cooked the grouper & shrimp a little less but it was still good. I guess I was too hungry to take a picture of it. Next time. lol I had the strawberry Long Island iced tea which tasted like a strawberry lemonade with the soft punch of the Long Island iced tea lol. I ordered the key lime pie per usual. It's light and on the tarter side, which I prefer. Why make or order key lime pie if it's going to be sweet?! ‍ Tip: there's usually a shorter wait for seating downstairs. HOWEVER, they only do fried foods and nothing grilled, not even the sautéed blue crab claws. The bar is larger down there and they have a playground for the kids and live music.

The club was leased out to new management and they have killed the vibe. We went there the first 2 nights and were treated like dung. They didn't have anything that I wanted to drink in stock so I ended up having to settle for what little they did have that I could stomach and then they ran out of that on night 2. The food menu has changed for the worse. You have basically 3 options. Burger, Wings or Nachos. We had the burger and curly fries the first night. It was horrible. Both were so loaded with salt that you could hardly taste the beef let alone eat it, gross. Night 2 we had the hot wings and to be fair those were actually pretty good but the food prices that we were charged was way more than what it said that the price was on the menu. We stayed for the Karaoke as we always do. We have always loved the karaoke here because the DJ Caspra is the best in the business. But on this night when she arrived to set up something was off. Way off. She was balling her eyes out. Turns out that she had been fired and had been told that the next night would be her last night. She was told this literally 1 hour before she arrived that night. No 2 week notice. This should tell you everything that you need to know about the trash that has taken over the management now. They are replacing a beautiful, passionate human being who is very entertaining and knows how to work the crowd with an AI tablet model. BOOOOOORING. I messaged the new management. They replied and asked me how they had let us down. I replied and told them the truth. They couldn't handle the truth. We were going there for one last time the next night to sing karaoke with Caspra for one last time and say our goodbye's. When we arrived we were told that we weren't allowed to come in.
