This review is limited to my personal Experience…read more We visited Pensacola Beach the First week of June(2026) and no matter where we went, there was some indication somewhere giving credit to Sandshaker as the birthplace of Pensacola's "Famous" Bushwacker Cocktail. I had tried it a few other places and was not super impressed. Our hotel was very close to Sandshakers, so one of the days we were visiting, I decided to go get a couple Bushwackers for my Wife and I to try while the kids swam. Setting the scene... I walked into Sandshakers around... 130-2pm. Upon entering, not a soul in sight. The place seemed closed as it was VERY dark and quiet. I walked around until finding a small bar with a few patrons. All of which were pretty old (I am 40) and they all had to be in their late 60s to early 80s. I sat down, with the idea that i would be in and out. welp... I was wrong. The bartender was nowhere to be found, so I got to listen to a bunch of EXTREMELY crass men talk a bunch of nonsense as if they were teenagers that just learned to swear. It was very awkward. I would say 10 minutes passed and I decided that I had enough of it and was going to leave, as i stood up a woman appeared from the back and said "perfect timing" maybe thinking I had just arrived. I asked for two bushwackers and then got to see her exchange a few insults with the clearly regular patrons before getting my drinks and paying. I high tailed it out of there, but not being heading her warning that all of the booze was on the bottom and to make sure its properly stirred or it wont be very good. I walked back to the hotel and gave my wife the same instructions, we stirred as much as we thought was needed but were both met with straight alcohol. I guess not something most complain about because thats the purpose of drinking booze right? But they weren't good. We both struggled to drink ours and they eventually melted and we pitched them. Seems strange that the alcohol wasn't floated rather than put in first but I am no expert. We did not return and I did not get the hype. The Key lime Colada at Flounders was exponentially better than said Bushwacker.

I came for the tiki drinks and stayed because Fish is apparently the patron saint of customer…read moreservice. I confidently ordered the wrong drink like I knew what I was doing, and instead of publicly roasting me, Fish cheerfully remade it without a hint of annoyance. The place was packed, but somehow the service was still fast. Drinks were fantastic -- strong enough to make me think I could dance, balanced enough to make me think I had sophisticated taste. Sneaky Tiki Bar absolutely nails the vibe: fun atmosphere, great drinks, and bartenders who treat your bad decisions like a minor inconvenience instead of a character flaw. Fish deserves a trophy, or at minimum his own cocktail named after him.

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.

Our server was wonderful! She was so kind, attentive, and accommodating. For drinks, we had the watermelon cooler and the frozen strawberry basil lemonade, and both were SO good. We started with the spinach & artichoke dip, which was also delicious. For lunch, we had the fried chicken sandwich and the fried shrimp basket and loved both. It was also the little things that stood out. Our server brought ice water to the table without us even having to ask, which was refreshing since it's so hot outside right now. The restaurant was airy and comfortable, the service was great, the food was good, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Bounce is definitely worth the hype and we can't wait to try brunch!

What has happened to Casino Bar?…read more Went on August 29th for dinner. Waited a considerable amount of time for someone to take our order of two drinks, a Caesar Salad and shrimp tacos. We sat at a table along the bar. Every table around us was full of dirty dishes when we sat down and the floor was filthy. Our drinks and salad came in short order, however the salad was warm and a lot of the lettuce was brown. Not a little brown, but the brown that would force you to throw away the lettuce. Flagged down the waitress and showed her the salad. She apologized and asked if we wanted another one. We declined and asked for our check. She walked away and left the salad sitting on the table. When she came back we paid for our two drinks, (they did remove the salad), and we left. The entire time we were there we sat amongst dirty tables that never got cleared of the food and dishes. When walking out we saw who we think is the manager sitting in the office playing with her hair, oblivious to what was going on in the restaurant. Casino Beach Bar was one of our regular spots to dine on Pensacola Beach. We will not be returning any time soon. Hopefully Drift will keep their standards, because Casino has lost theirs. Very disappointing.

Nothing really to write home about I love the fact that they offer so many flavors of the frozen drinks; keep in mind though they automatically at a gratuity, even if you're just getting a drink that's one thing that I don't really like about this location not sure if all the senior frogs operate the exact same way Service is a tad slow even when they're not busy, which is most of the time

Waste of money and a good time!…read more We should've known we were in for a lackluster experience when no one was at the front to seat us. Once we got seated, it took almost ten minutes to be greeted by our server, Makayla. That will be a prevailing theme over the course of the meal. We ordered and got our food in a good amount of time. The tower of nachos was definitely the best-tasting of our meals...but that bar was pretty low. The La Mexicana Burger was completely bland and had zero flavor; my son's shrimp and veggies were so covered in garlic that he couldn't taste anything else. My wife ordered a specialty drink that never arrived. Every time we brought it up, Makayla had an excuse. We eventually said, "Cancel it," as we were done with our meal. The check comes and there's an automatic 20% gratuity. Our server's performance wasn't worth 20 cents, let alone 20%. My son said there was a tiny sign at the front that talked about the automatic gratuity. I understand the desire to take care of your servers, but automatic gratuity does not encourage servers to serve; it encourages them to be exactly like our server - lazy. We asked for our son's drink to-go. We waited another ten minutes...no drink. Eventually, we reminded Makayla, and she had another excuse. My wife couldn't wait to get out of here. This is by far the worst restaurant on the beach. Even worse than the original RFBF before they got new management. If you're on the boardwalk, go to Bamboo Willie's, or even Papa John's, because you'll get a better dining experience. Or even better: walk a little bit and go to Flounders where you'll never get poor service or bad food. This place is a stain on Pensacola Beach. Pic of the tower of nachos.
