Pensacola Bay Brewery

Old school place with only old school places. All beers are $6.50 for 16 oz (or 12 oz for the big beers). No flights, no small pours -- super lame. However, the bartender agreed to give me 2 half-pours for the price of 1 -- very nice. Beer quality was decent, with their lower ABV stuff nicely done, but the higher ABV being not quite properly calibrated. Serving size notwithstanding, this might be worth a stop depending on who you're coming with and how drunk you want to get.

Nice place very near the coast and downtown Pensacola. Comfortable patio outside, especially of use on a pleasant summer evening. Serviceable selection of about 15 taps, flights available. Unfortunately, the beers are decent at best with the Blackbeard Stout being the notable exception. Friendly service, prices are good. Though the beers were nothing special, we had a good time at this brewery.

Historic building near the older section of Pensacola. 8 seat bar and a few tables, as well as a front sidewalk patio. Friendly service, 15 beers on tap, flights available @ 4 for $5.50. Beers are good, not great. Nice place if you are in the area.

A fine place to come and enjoy a beer on a hot FL day/night. Nice indoor area, adding comfortable furniture would up the place.

Nice little place with some tables on the patio and more rooms inside. They do flights so you can do some tasting. Unfortunately the beers in below average. They do some decent pale ales and kölsch, but the darker beers were horrible. Still worth a visit though!

Nice spot in the historic section of Pensacola. They had about 15 beers on tap. Luckily they did flights so I was able to try all of the ones that interested me, but unfortunately the beers were just average. But the nice atmosphere and friendly service made up for that and it was an enjoyable stop.

Cute place and, given the quality of its beer, strangely popular. Positioned in a convenient and good spot just adjacent to downtown Pensacola. As previously alluded to, the quality of the beer is substandard. Particularly when compared to other Gulfcoast breweries like Oyster City Brewing in Apalachicola and Fairhope Brewing in Fairhope, Alabama. That hasn’t seemed to stop their beers from appearing in all stores and several restaurants in Pensacola.

A cozy little tasting room that also has a nice patio. Bartender was really nice and accommodating. Just their beers, but enough to keep you drinking. Well priced and they do a big taster platter. Nice place that I would definitely recommend.

This is in on Zaragoza St at the end of the historic Pensacola village. It’s a nice brick building on the corner and within spitting distance of the gulf. Inside is a small tasting room with some glass doors that allow you to see the smallish brewery in the back. They had 14 different beers on tap which I was a bit surprised by. They have the regular styles like pale ale, porter, and amber but they also had an imperial stout, a raspberry Berliner, and a whiskey barrel porter, a double IPA, and for some reason an Oktoberfest beer (I think a lot of the breweries do a maibock for mardi gras, so maybe this is like that?). They do flights of 8 but the server was nice enough to do a second flight of the remaining 6. Most of the beers were OK, but nothing special. Also, the taster glasses were almost all chipped and in some cases sharp enough to cut your lip on. $16.73 (I think) for 14 different samples. Can’t beat that.

Between the friendly atmosphere, the beautiful area, and the shear number of ticks I’d come back if in the area. That said it isn’t the greatest beer around so if you don’t care about trying new beers then this may not be the place for you.

I have always enjoyed my times going to P’cola Bay Brewery. The atmosphere is nice and also in a great location. There beer selection is pretty good and they always seem to have an amazing seasonals every time of the year. Recommended if you pass by the area.
