What a terrific bar with excellent live music and convenient location in the Pensacola Beach area…read more What started as two evenings of hearing the music and wondering why we are not there. Our final day and, we decided to end our little cocktail afternoon along the beach resorts with some live music. We walked in with our hotel room cocktails and quickly ordered two more while we negotiated a seat to view the band. While ordering our drinks from the far side of the rear bar, I noticed there was remarkable sound from that vantage. I summoned the wife to the spot where I was, and we sat and had a couple of drinks and ordered a 'bar' pizza that wasn't too bad . . . almost good. We then noticed an area up front by the stage and proceeded to enjoy the remainder of the show that ended around 8pm, if I remember. I am understanding this is of the best music venues in the Beach area. Good stage with excellent sound from a very good cover band. An early night of fun then back to our group staying at the Surf and Sand across the lot in the back. It's not a far walk at all. Good spot! CritDicks

It seems like a local's bar, because everyone that walked in knew each other and the bartender. Plenty of tvs to watch a game, and pool tables to pass the time. Best part is that the draft beer is cheap! We ended up sitting long enough to have 4 beers each and the bill was under $20! We saw plenty of baskets of their wings get served also. If we hadn't been full we definitely would have tried them. Highly recommend this small dive.

We were in Pensacola for Labor Day weekend and just had to have one of those fruity slushy drinks…read morestraight out of the machine. 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.

The chili crunch ranch was the perfect pair with both. The staff were so nice and friendly!! There was a guy that was so personable and loved talking with customers, you could tell he loves his job.

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.

5/12/2026: 22 years later, and it's still absolute perfection!…read more It's been 22 years since my last visit--obviously way before online reviews were a thing--and I am still majorly impressed! The history, the food, the fun, the ambiance... everything was superb. Since the three of us aren't huge eaters, we decided to split the calamari, the Tuesday meatloaf special, and their famous 18-cent bean soup. Everything was pure perfection! The huge portions and delicious flavors absolutely made our day. (Side note: I am not a meatloaf person, but theirs is fabulous!) Beyond the food, the experience is unmatched. There are endless photo ops, great themed rooms to explore, and a great gift shop. Pro tip: Don't forget to kiss the moose and pin a dollar bill to the wall with the other 3.2 MILLION already there. Seriously, that is a real number! Go explore the rooms and enjoy every minute.
