If I could only make one stop in Pensacola, it’d be McGuire’s Irish Pub. I just love this place.
I’ve been there five or six times now, and it’s always delicious, so yes, the locals eat there, too. It’s Florida, so I always go for the seafood. This last time I ate crab cakes. I’m a bit of a crab cake connoisseur, and I’m a big fan of McGuire’s remoulade. But it should be known that they make a splendid Shepherd’s Pie (which is actually Cottage Pie) and they have enormous, mouth-watering corned beef sandwiches. Moo ordered a pizza with broccoli and orange slices, so even the non-foodies can enjoy a meal there.
More than delicious, it has a homey, casual ambiance with more than its share of whimsy.
It’s decorated with over a million dollar bills, pinned to the wall, hanging from the ceiling. The first time I went there I wrote my name on a dollar and added it to the collection.
Here’s a photo showing you some of the bills. This one happens to be in The Notre Dame Room.
All of the indoor pictures I took have that fuzzy orange hue, since the lighting was low. Truth be told, I enjoyed the low lighting, and the air conditioning, and the huge cocktail that came with this “free” tee-shirt.
Crashed is a good word. The drink’s exact contents remain a mystery to me, but the waiter did tell me it has 151, plus spiced rum, and banana liqueur in it. I was pleasantly tipsy when we left McGuire’s, but I was puzzled by how to work our car door handles once we got to the next stop, so I opted to sit in the car and look at all the pretty trees for a while.
Anyway, McGuire’s is a great place, and I hope if you’re ever in Pensacola, you’ll head out that way and try it.

If I’m ever in the city, I’m stopping, but I think I’ll stick to beer (as I’m usually the one who has to drive home). Great doors!

Sounds like my kind of joint. Meat pies;be they cottage or shepherds and big drinks. I like meat pies;even the ones that aren’t actually pies. I also like big drinks;and crab cakes. And doors. I love big doors.

I like that fuzzy orange too. I think because it mimics the colour of sunset and campfires.

By the time we got to the next place, I was halfway to whitegirl wasted. You know, rum takes time to pack its punch! Wore off quickly, but whew!

Sounds like I’d need to stay a few days to be able to go back and try at least of few things off that menu 🙂

I hope the broccoli and orange slices were on the side, not actually on the pizza. (Otherwise, that sounds like a foodie thing.) 😉

Looks like a happy place, Joey. Way to get wasted on one drink! I love a joint that’ll serve you a special in a glass the size of your head with the booze to make you momentarily lose yours. ❤
