2016 Seville Quarter Wine & Food Festival

Pensacola’s downtown nighttime entertainment center is Seville Quarter, 130 E. Government St., at Jefferson Street (tel. 850/434-6211 ; www.sevillequarter.com), in the Seville Historic District. This restored antique-brick complex with New Orleans-style wrought-iron balconies is actually a collection of pubs and restaurants whose names capture the ambience: Rosie O’Grady’s Goodtime Emporium, Palace Oyster Bar, Lili Marlene’s Aviator’s Pub, Apple Annie’s Courtyard, End o’ the Alley Bar, Phineas Phogg’s Balloon Works (a dance hall, not a balloon shop), and Fast Eddie’s Billiard Parlor (which has electronic games, too). The pubs serve up libations, food, and live entertainment from Dixieland jazz to country and western. Get a monthly calendar at the information booth next to Rosie O’Grady’s. Seville Quarter is open daily from 7am to 2am.
