3 days of fun starting Friday, May 17th and going through Sunday, May 19th. Play is a stop on the trail. We can’t begin to explain or deliver it justice by describing it here. If you know, you know. But you can learn more here.

Galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and bars open their doors to the night air as visitors and locals flood the streets to enjoy music, art and cuisine. It's the perfect chance to get an inside look at Pensacola's lively downtown sector. Streets close at 5pm and open for foot traffic. April’s Gallery Night theme? Earth Day!

But for this Gallery Night, we’re celebrating the final Game of Thrones season with a special GOT themed Gallery Night. Decor, drinks, staff costumes and more!

To celebrate the return of Game of Thrones (finally!), Play will be going back to Westeros this whole week kicking off the fun with a GOT themed bar bingo and trivia night. So don your cloak and take your place on the wall.

To celebrate Pensacola’s CON weekend and in anticipation of the final season of Game of Thrones, our Citadel Maesters have sent out ravens to extend a special invite to the seven kingdoms. Bend the knee and join us for a Game of Thrones inspired party that will drop you into the middle of Westeros complete with fire & ice inspired decor and fanfare. More details to be announced. Costumes are welcome but not mandatory.

Join us to celebrate Single Awareness Day or as the world refers to it, Valentine’s Day. Play is hosting a one-of-a-kind S.A.D. Karaoke Night. Because Cupid is stupid, let us show you some love! Every guest will receive a chip, (feel free to keep your chip or give your chip to whomever you like) and the two people (one guy/one girl) with the most chips will receive a very special gift bag full of goodies (including cash, gift cards and tons more), courtesy of Play. Gain extra chips by singing karaoke.

$4 Crown and Down and $3 Amore Shots starting at 9pm. 

It’s that wonderful time of the year again. The Christmas Gallery Night! Downtown is awash with beautiful lights, holiday cheer and artists and vendors of all kind. Make sure you don’t miss the Christmas Gallery Night in Downtown Pensacola.

Fans of hip-hop, EDM and other aspiring performers who want to take it to the next level: This is for you. Celebrating Thanksgiving week, this will be a genre-blending karaoke party to bring fans together. This is the type of night where singing along and dancing along aren't mandatory, but you're gonna wanna do it anyway. Here's how it works:

Perform a song from our Trap list and get a ticket! Put the ticket in the fish bowl. Drawings all night long - Prizes range from $20-$500 and from cold hard cash to gift certificates or from free drinks to tube socks. More songs you sing from the Trap list, more chance you have at winning.

For those of you hard core karaoke regulars, you can still sing any song of your choice too.

One special Friday evening each month, the streets of Historic Downtown Pensacola come alive for Gallery Night.

Galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and bars open their doors to the night air as visitors and locals flood the streets to enjoy music, art and cuisine. Café tables set out on brick sidewalks are the perfect place to enjoy a coffee or cocktail, as the sounds of live music and a spirited crowd fill the air. Families linger in the downtown parks, playing around the beautiful fountains and historic oaks.

It's the perfect chance to get an inside look at Pensacola's lively downtown sector and thriving art scene. Streets close to traffic at 5 p.m., but there is ample parking available on side streets. The party officially wraps up at 9 p.m., but most restaurants, bars, and local businesses extend their hours to promote the excitement of late night crowds.

Every Sunday (or depending on schedule - Monday/Thursday), meet at Play if you’re all about that Ditka life. The official Chicago Bears Northwest Florida Fan Club celebrates like its 1985 during every Bears game all season long. Join these local Monsters of Midway for every game.

Free local pizza and wings and on special occasions, official deep dish flown in from Lou Malnati’s and/or Gino’s East.

Bar Bingo is back! Every Wednesday starting at 10pm, get a chance to win prizes, free drinks and more. This new and revamped bar bingo has a trivia twist. 

We're gonna let you finish, Labor Day, but Sunday, September 3rd is going to be an early birthday celebration of the flawless one, Queen Bey. We're celebrating a day early because you ain't got no work on Monday. No she won't be here, but that doesn't mean we won't be putting on a jam that would make Yoncé proud. So practice your "Single Ladies" moves and let's get "Drunk in Love" with a night all things Sasha Fierce. Come on everyone, let's get in "Formation." 

DJ mixing all things Beyoncé inspired. From solo hits to Destiny's Child classics all mixed with the Queen's favorite artists and contemporaries. 

$2 Birthday Cake shots all night.

Midnight birthday cake candles blowout!

Special Beyoncé themed photobooth w/ props!

More fun and surprises to be announced....

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! 

As always, free admission and all events and contests are free to play.

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. 

Here's what we have in store for this rager.

Custom green signature Koopa cups.
$3 green beer.
$6 Tullamore Dew whiskey floats.
BOGO for those who use the custom Play St. Patrick's Day snapchat filter.

Good news! Downtown businesses united to save Gallery Night. But there will be changes coming soon.

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.
