When the sun goes down and the tourists start itching for a drink or a place to wear their dancing shoes, where do they go? Some spots include:
- Seville Quarter is a popular place to party in Downtown Pensacola. The 19th century building that once housed the Pensacola Cigar and Tobacco Company includes eight individual entertainment venues. End o’ the Alley is located outside in a quaint courtyard. Rosie O’Grady’s is also a great spot. More information about this bar and the other bars of the historic area is at www.rosies.com.
