They were so loud, we couldn't hear the music or our own conversations. They were talking about their sex life or some other lewd topic, but the bartender Mike kept pouring drinks for his obviously drunk friends. When two of them started to have a friendly scuffle or whatever they were doing, they bumped into me. I asked them to just back off or take it outside, they made some kind of anti gay slur. So we left. We go to a bar to relax and unwind, not get harassed. When leaving, one of the more drunker friends of bartender Mike decided to try and follow us outside. He said something along the lines of "gonna get them". They have been reported for over serving customers and hopefully will lose their license. Screw this place, it's trashy.

It was just me and my adult daughter and we were sat immediately. It was New Year's day and it was pretty empty but I can't imagine that is normally the case. We ordered waters and was quickly delivered. We love asian and mexican so this place was perfect and we got a little from both menus to share. Within the next 10-15 minutes, our food was delivered too. Food: OMG best sushi ever! We tried the cowboy roll, vicios roll and shrimp tempura roll. Cowboy and Vicios rolls I could eat every day! So fresh and so good. We also ordered the guacamole appetizer. I'm very picky on my guacamole and ofter. Have to add more salt but this was perfect! The chips were light, not greasy and freshly made and warm. It also came with homemade salsa which was also delicious and fresh. Atmosphere: the inside is almost its own selfie place. Bathroom, all of the walls, outside, etc. is so well decorated and cute, I have never taken so many pictures in a bathroom The place is much bigger than it appears. Several sections with multiple bars, pool tables, stage for a live band, plenty of tables for seating. Only thing missing is outdoor seating/options. I live 5 hours away so won't likely be able to visit again any time soon but if I am ever in the area, this will be a stop!

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.

It is garnished with a spring of thyme (witch's broom) and STIR STIR STIR and become the TORNADO!!!!! I know, it is too pretty to stir, but it brings it to a different level. With this cocktail, it will reward you to become THE TORNADO! Everyday is a theme. Thursday is Karaoke night, Fri And Sat is a Dance party. I rarely give 5 stars unless they are at Michelin level.

The establishment is so nice and the decor is very relaxing. The host greeted us immediately and gave us some nice compliments also. We were escorted to our seats and server Tatum was there waiting. She introduced herself and told us a little about the restaurant and what they specialize in. She told us about the specials and took our drink order. We ordered the savory bread pudding Benedict and the Bonita's lobster roll both came with hand cut Parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the bread pudding. Wow, isn't your ordinary bread pudding. If you don't like bread pudding, you will love this one! It starts with a special type bread they make and thick cut bacon is baked all through it. Then it's topped with a poached egg with a special hollandaise sauce. Every bite was full of flavor and I hate I ate it so fast. The lobster roll was so tender and buttery. The roll was fresh a little toasty just enough for a little crunch when you bite. The fries, I never had hand cut fries that taste so good. The fresh Parmesan cheese and truffle oil took them over the top. They really take time to pay attention to detail. If you haven't eaten here yet, you must put this one high on your list. I'm looking forward to my next review!!!!

From…read morethe moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and upscale-casual, with great energy but not stuffy at all. We started with the ricotta fig and pear appetizer, and oh my goodness, it was incredible--creamy, sweet, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Such a fresh and creative dish! For mains, my partner had the chili citrus glazed duck, and it was cooked to perfection: crispy skin, juicy meat, and that glaze brought such bright, zesty flavors that paired beautifully with the sides. I went with the cobia almondine, and it was one of the best fish dishes I've had--perfectly seared, flaky, with the brown butter, almonds, and charred lemon elevating every bite. The cauliflower purée underneath was silky and delicious. We couldn't stop at just dinner--we shared a few desserts (the variety was tempting!), and everything was spot-on: rich, not too sweet, and beautifully presented. The service was truly amazing--our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations without being pushy. They really made us feel taken care of. If you're looking for elevated, ingredient-driven food with Southern-meets-French flair in Pensacola, George Bistro is a must-try. We'll definitely be back soon--maybe for brunch next time! Highly recommend--5 stars all the way!

Mains for the 4 of us at dinner... ...Fish & Chips: generous, delicious fish, slightly thick batter, but very crispy; Chips...sorry and soggy, limp and lukewarm (miss). ...Beef Pasties: delicious, steamed veggies...ok ...Crab stuffed Grouper with shrimp: Very good, flavorful, nicely seasoned. Served with small Caesar Salad. ...Shepherd's Pie: Winner of the night. Absolutely spot-on - excellently seasoned lamb with peas and carrots, topped with delish mash. However the accompanying Yorkshire Pudding - "cold" and rubbery.....please do not serve this again to my British heritage chef wife! (Likely held too long, perhaps steamed to warm, definitely not fresh-out-of--the-oven.) Desserts (we took home in 2Go boxes): Key Lime pie....nah. A bit short on that tangy lime flavor we expected. Sticky Toffee Pudding....yes, yes, yes. Tender, moist, sponge with host of flavors and topped with an (optional) thin caramel sauce. Really excellent sans sauce. Side note of sorts: We had a few minutes to sit in the bar area before our reserved time to dine. What a great experience! If we lived closer, I'm fairly certain this would be a regular haunt of ours.

Saturday brunch items so there was nothing complicated or specially requested as the menu was limited. My BLT on fried bread came out warm, no crispness on the "fried bread" that seemed more like a pita that had been warmed on the flat-top. Pathetic sliver of discolored and withered lettuce had to be removed. Bacon was good. Tomato had no taste. The mixed fruit as a side was OK. Not impressed with the food and will not return. Also, please be aware that they have a "sharing fee" as well as the credit card usage fee. It would be nice if diners could counteract these charges for the wait times, less than stellar food...that no one would be tempted to share anyway. Do yourself a favor...go to McGuires downtown.

With somewhat dim lighting and a speakeasy's ambiance, The Burrow offers a great spot for just a drink or a full meal. For starters, check out their cocktail menu. Sure, they can make you your favorite drink, like a Manhattan or a basic Cosmo, but their featured drinks are outstanding. The Giving Tree is a smashing blend of pear & vodka, with a mint garnish, and it is seriously drinkable. The Burrow even offers CBD-infused cocktails for those that really want to take the edge off. The fare is beyond the standard bar & grille, though they do serve a fantastic burger. For appetizers, the Raclette Fries are a must-try with rich flavors that could captivate any palate, and bigger appetites can tackle the Pork Shank, served bone-in and topped with cabbage for that authentic German approach. If you want something lighter, then the Little Wedges (the only time I actually enjoy iceberg lettuce) could be a meal to many, topped with the usual bleu cheese & bacon crumbles - so good! Pricing is right on par with the value and the drinks themselves are simply outstanding. The bartender even made a previous 'seasonal' offering for my father-in-law, so you know the service is top-shelf. The space inside isn't huge, but the decor and layout is pretty well optimized. Great spot for any season, and with the biergarten space, you have plenty of options.

Great service and a great start with the Blushing Badger special drink. Good flavor and not overly sweet. Ordered the burger which was good (not the best I've had) and served on a brioche bun. My only criticism is that the bun was too thick and overpowered the burger. Ordered with sweet potato waffle fries, which were nothing special. While the food was decent, and the service and atmosphere very good, I think the food and drinks were overpriced. I don't mind paying for good food, but I think the burger was overpriced at $18 and the drink at $15. I may go back, but not real soon.

Goat Lips Chew & Brew House feels like the kind of place that was designed after someone said,…read more"What if every room had a different personality and the backyard never ended?" And honestly? The vibe is the star here. This place is wildly eclectic in the best way. A huge outdoor area that feels built for lingering, laughing, and losing track of time, plus a maze of themed rooms inside that make every turn feel like you accidentally walked into a different bar. It's unique, memorable, and exactly the kind of place you want to love before the food even hits the table. The service definitely helped that cause. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish. Then the pretzel appetizer arrived and apparently chose violence. The beer cheese sauce had the consistency of warm yellow water and somehow even less personality. The pretzel itself tasted like it had been baptized in butter but still came out bland, which is honestly an achievement. I didn't know something could be both greasy and forgettable, but here we are. Thankfully, I was aggressively encouraged to order the club sandwich. "You HAVE to get it," they said. For once, the hype mostly paid off. The bread was toasted beautifully, full of crunch and flavor, and the sandwich as a whole really worked. Now, the meat? Let's just say it had strong gas station cold-cut energy. Perfectly edible, nothing offensive, but nobody's writing songs about it. That said, the mayo situation deserves its own fan club. There's some kind of mustard-seasoned magic happening in that spread, and it absolutely carries the whole sandwich across the finish line. Honestly, give me that toast cut into strips and a bowl of that sauce, and I'm a happy man. Forget the turkey, let me dip carbs directly into whatever wizardry they whipped up back there. So where does Goat Lips land? A place with a killer atmosphere, great service, one appetizer that should be investigated, and one sandwich condiment worthy of applause. The experience averages out exactly where the stars do: right down the middle. Three stars. Goat Lips is average food wrapped in an unforgettable setting, which somehow makes the whole thing more fun than it probably deserves.
