About Us
Play is the result of combining your favorite neighborhood bar with the nostalgia of vintage pop culture - The arcade. Located in Downtown Pensacola on S. Palafox Street, above Wine Bar, next to Hopjacks, Play is also the current Best Bar Overall Best of the Coast winner (2017/18) and former Best Bar Downtown (2015). With your boozy favorites, a combination of vintage and some state of the art arcade games, pool table, skeeball machines, competition worthy shuffleboard, air hockey and much more, Play is Pensacola’s favorite neighborhood bar with a side of fun.
