Cinco de Mayo celebrates an underdog Mexican army's victory over the French in 1862. But right here In Los Estados Unidos, its really just another example of our ability to turn a celebration into an excuse to drink. Of that, we too are guilty - This time around, we're even providing the free mustache swag. 

But, with a name like Play, we've never taken much of anything too seriously. So like us, apologize beforehand, and let the good times roll. 

We kick the party off on Thursday, May 4th with "Pinatas & Coronas." For just one dollar extra, top your Corona off with a shot of tequila. Just ask for your Corona, "fully loaded." And with a performance of a karaoke song, take a swing at the Pinata. It'll be filled with lots of great stuff and cold hard cash! 

Friday, May 5
Mustache Night
All the single folks will be given a mustache. Give your mustache away and we'll give the person you give it to a free drink when you get your drink!

Saturday, May 6
Welcome to Miami
Featuring DJ Sin Fin! This Miami style dance party will be en fuego + $5 premium margaritas, shots and more!

Play is open seven nights a week with a different special each night. Check out the calendar for more details. 

It doesn't matter where you're from or what you plan to do, St Patrick's Day is the one day of the year, you're most likely to see two adult men dressed as Leprechauns scrap in a Whataburger. 

So you might as well let loose. Everyone else will, although, we don't recommend the Whataburger part. And you're in luck! 

St. Patrick's Day falls on Gallery Night this year (Friday, March 17). Kick off St. Patrick's Day at Play. And the specials and entertainment roll on all weekend.

On Friday, Jan. 20, Gallery Night, in cooperation with the UWF Confucius Institute, will hold a themed Gallery Night this month in honor of the Chinese New Year. You will not want to miss this immersive thematic event featuring beautiful work by the region's most celebrated artisans, live music, street vendors, kids zone and food truck bazaar. Gallery Night kicks off at 5pm followed by the official Gallery Night street party starting at 8pm.

While you're Downtown, stop in at Play, Pensacola's only classic arcade and full service 21+ bar. Featuring over 25 classic arcades, a pool table room, skee ball alley and competition regulation air hockey table, Play is a "Best of the Coast" Best Bar Downtown award-winner.

Join us for one ghoulish, ghostly, disney fun. Our bar staff will be in your favorite Disney princesses with a twist. $3 drink specials all weekend. Live DJ. Scary movies on the big projector and TVs. And, Play will be in full halloween spirit all weekend long. 

Good news! Downtown businesses united to save Gallery Night. But there will be changes coming soon. So aside from being one of the best Gallery Night's of the year, October will also be one of your last chances to enjoy Gallery Night as you know it. Make sure to come early. October is one of the busiest ones of the year. 

Gallery Night returns to Downtown Pensacola on Friday, March. 18. 

Stroll through the charming brick walkways of Downtown Pensacola to experience an eclectic array of music, art and cuisine. Explore galleries and businesses featuring the works of dozens of local artists. Soak up the sounds of local musicians and the aromas of local cuisine as the energy of the evening carries you from venue to venue. Gallery Night is a free event and many businesses provide light refreshments.
