Bottom line up front: false advertising for the main performer. Show "started" at 7PM. Yea well it…read morewas all opening acts from 7:30-10:25. Nearly 3 hours of amateur performers. Some were God awful. It felt like open mic night karaoke at some points. Embarrassing. The crowd was frustrated. The main advertised performer was only on stage for about 40 minutes. His performance was great! I just don't think it was worth the pain of 3 hours of standing and anxiously waiting in a jam-packed crowd. The only pro is that the location is a smaller, intimate venue especially if you are near the stage. Again, blatant false advertising. They milked the crowd to buy drinks for hours while we were hoping the main act would show soon to perform. Some people left early. Never coming here again. Good luck...

Well I'm here in the area working for a few months. I love seeing what locals embrace. This little…read moretheater seems to be just that. I found this place by searching around the internet. It listed a comedy-magic show for $26 advance purchase (it's $30 at door). I paid at the door with a credit card...which then included a small processing fee. I don't know if the fee is waived with a cash payment. To the best of my knowledge, it was street parking only. This place also appeared to be ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible. Now there aren't mounted seats inside. It's more of an open floor arrangement which allows for seating changes as needed (with folding chairs). There's also an elevated seating area. There were no concessions that I noticed. So the show I saw featured Tom Coverly...a 90 minute comedy-magic act that involves audience participation. Although his show is themed around magic, I felt it was primarily comedy. There were lots of young kids and teenagers in the audience. Although comedy, his act was kid appropriate. Tom mentioned that proceeds from his performances go toward local support, but I can't recall specifically what it was...sorry. He also mentioned that the theater has other nights with standup comedians and that there'll also be some jazz nights. For me, his act was good and funny but not a gut buster. But your funny bone may break, so please be your own judge. So I definitely enjoyed the show and I'll probably catch other performances here during my lengthy stay.

This event venue is owned by a local church. Not certain if it ever has events that aren't…read morereligiously-themed, as the intarwebs are sparse with information about that. I recently attended a Christmas sing-along, because my friend is part of a choral group that was there. The church has done a fantastic job of renovating this almost century-old edifice. The foyer is bright and welcoming and the bathroom (the men's, at least) is exceptionally spotless and well-outfitted. The entire place was spotless, actually. There's a small stage in the back, floor seating, and then a tiered, elevated seating section to the back (which is towards the front of the building). The acoustics aren't audiophile approved, but I wasn't listening to Mozart, so the sound was just fine. In one of the front windows, there is displayed a circa-1930s film projector, which looks like it would require 3-4 highly-trained technicians to operate. If you are ever walking by the Rex, slow down and peep that thing. Lots of history in downtown Pensacola, and I applaud the church for reviving, improving, and maintaining a little part of it.

They are what they are -- too much sugar and just the right amount of alcohol in a non environmentally friendly styrofoam cup that keeps it perfectly cold. Husband and I had the Octane, the Willie Whacker and Swampwater. The Willie Whacker was my fave and had three different liquors. Coincidence? Love the open air bars and live music. Minor annoyance that if you open a tab you can only use it at the bar you opened it at and one has way more drink choices, so we ended up opening two separate bar tabs there. If you want live music, a relaxed vibe and sugary, buzzy drinks this is your spot.

What I didn't like was having to "check in" and pay a cover at the entrance and get my hand stamped... this is fine for the youngsters, but at my age, I'm past this sort of mess and it was "telling" to me what kind of adventure we'd be into once inside. It's crazy loud in each room in this venue, so loud you couldn't really talk with those you were with. We even saw "youngsters" walk in, have the same difficulty and leave. I feel they could do a much better job with this place, but offering a great food menu which matched the themes of each room and by toning down the sound a little. Overall, it was 'meh' I'm not interested in returning.

They preform 80's - top 40's. This is an inviting place with lots of room to dance. Smoking is permitted inside. The drummer stops the show when he lights his drum sticks on fire after a solo.

Its just a handful of regulars and friends of the current band there.

I've been here before but there were totally different people working and it was really busy. The service was great and we had a blast. Not sure what was going on. But from what I've been told from the regulars about this particular bartender couple it might be bad for business, I was ignored for the most part at first and then just got a whole lot of attitude about what I was asking. I might be more understanding about that if it was really busy and it was a stressful situation. But I was the only person waiting for a drink for a good ten minutes. I felt so unwelcome I ordered something I obviously didn't want threw it away and left. Just terrible service.

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.

Inside, the place fully commits to its personality. The bar stools are literal swings hanging from the ceiling. Yes, swings. It is exactly as entertaining as it sounds. The bar service was fast and mostly friendly, even with the crowd. There was live music going and plenty of pool tables, so there is always something happening. The energy is fun, casual, and unapologetically unpolished. This is not a posh wine bar and it is not trying to be. If you want a lively, slightly chaotic, very memorable local spot, you should absolutely check it out when you are in town.
