    Saenger Theatre

    The Spanish-Baroque beauty, Saenger Theatre, was reconstructed in 1925 using bricks from the Pensacola Opera House, which was destroyed in a 1916 hurricane. Closed for a major renovation project at the time of research, this is home to a popular Broadway series as well as the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra and Pensacola Opera.

    An open-air bar right on the boardwalk in Pensacola Beach, this is the spot to get twisted in a variety of ways, with signature frozen cocktails from the Bushwacker to the 190 Octane (don’t ask – just drink).
