Cutest bar with the cutest staff and the cutest menu and the cutest beverages. Edited to include that the music is ALWAYS on point and they always have something interesting on the TVs. Did I mention that the staff is the cutest?

Look up neighborhood bar in the dictionary and there should be a picture of the magnolia. The beer and wine selection is awesome. The food is amazing. The staff is absolutely amazing. We got great wine suggestions. The breast milk we brought wasn't warm enough and Brandi jumped in to action to get us some warm water to hurry up the process. The second you walk in the door you become family.

Love this place. It’s one of Pensacola’s gems...it’s pretty much a locals place but if your visiting p-cola, it’s a must. Don’t fear the unusual menus. All the dishes are amazingly done & perfectly tasty. A true foodies heaven. Friendly staff & wonderful owners.

We come here at least once a month, but we would like to come every day! We have never had a bad meal or bad service. It's a cozy little space that we absolutely love. Great food, great staff; one of our top picks in Pensacola!

Brandy was an amazing server. The smoked spicy sriracha mac and cheese was amazing. I love this little hole in the wall with a local flair and amazing simple but complex food!

I know they like it's scale just the way it is, but these folks could expand and make a huge successful impact. I never had anything I didn't like. It's a cozy, friendly place with great staff.

Absolutely wonderful first experience! The ambiance was great and the food was just amazing! The service and staff were top tier. I'm not sure who he was, maybe the owner or manager, but there was a man who brought our kids quarters for the gumball machine and that just made their day. Will definitely be coming back and telling everyone about this wonderful space!

I've eaten here a few times now and I can honestly say the food has been consistently amazing and the service consistently fantastic. The staff are all so nice and friendly in a genuine way. The brunch is simply delicious. The best waffles I've ever had in my life. Get one of the savory waffle options, you will not regret it. Their housemade pimento cheese is lit, no joke. Lunch menu is straightforward and simple, but the food is tasty and fresh. The chickpea salad is so good it made me forget how much I hate onions. The restaurant itself is cute and trendy without seeming contrived, the atmosphere is very chill and it manages to never feel cramped or too loud, despite being fairly small. It's really a little gem of a place, cannot recommend it enough!

The Magnolia is my absolute favorite restaurant, not only in Pensacola, but in the world!! The staff and owner are wonderful and make everyone feel like they've gone home for a visit! Small but diverse brunch menu, and I have tried nearly everything on the menu and they are all fresh and delicious, and have a little twist!! The Goldilox Waffle is my favorite, but the Vegan Cheesishburgerish is SO Good; honestly wouldn't know it was vegan. And if you are lucky enough to go in when Bill's BBQ sandwich is on the menu, prepare to be blown away! The snacky brunch board is a great option to split with friends, who you should definitely bring along! They have a great selection of beers and wine, and their mimosas are poured perfectly and should be enjoyed liberally. Lastly and most importantly, The Magnolia is So welcoming to everyone of every walk of life; LGBTQ friendly and have a gender neutral restroom. Also, I've been to Magnolia about twice a month since May and have not seen a single staff member leave the team - that really speaks to the positive atmosphere and wonderful team! Again, my favorite restaurant in the world!! Why haven't you visited yet?

If I could rate it a 10 star, I would. The food is absolutely amazing. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. Whitney our server was great. The sweetie drops in the cheese plate are mind blowing. I am amazed right now. I will be back here.....tomorrow.

Love this little house bar. Quaint and chill, with good beers and great snacks/food, bordering on the side of gourmet bar food. Had the cheese board last time and was amazed. It can get crowded though, so go on a weeknight or be prepared to duel someone for a good seat at the bar. Also, finally, great service from a helpful friendly staff. My favorite little bar.

Great music selection played by Pandora, fantastic beer choices with a few on draft and many bottled, and topped off with great food! We got the Mediterranean Hummus and a Spam slider with pineapple sriracha on a Hawaiian roll. That along with daily changing mac n cheese, this place is a must stop in Pensacola and will be a frequent stop for my wife and I.

Super hip cottage bar! If I ever opened a place I'd want it to be just like this. Has outdoor seating, a bar to sit at and some tables inside. The decor is cool and the staff is cooler! Our waitress was very friendly and recommended the "frozé" (yum!) and the jalapeño popper mac and cheese (also yum!) which we got. I had the 3-cheese board and the selection was great. My group also got the chicken salad slider and the Hotta Lotta which was SO good-the olive salad and picked jalapeños were bomb! I will be back to explore more of their menu and their extensive beer and wine selection. Perfect little neighborhood bar that I wish was in my neighborhood!

This place is amazing! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often! (i.e lived in the neighborhood so I could walk to this quaint ‘neighborhood bar’) The beer and wine choices are amazing. The food is so delicious! Menu is small and it is perfect. I am never disappointed when we go here. There is always something new on the menu (daily special). One of my favorite places for date night!

The BEST chicken salad salad I've had ever. This place just had that super local feel, the spot you could eat at every day. Service was really nice but also very laid back.. no one is rushing you here, just enjoy! I can't wait to stop in again.

Honestly, never have had a bad experience here. From the staff to the owner, everyone is awesome and welcoming. Love having wine here and enjoying the atmosphere, but the beer selection, it's just fantastic. The food, holy hell, so good. Not a vegan, but their vegan burger was great. They also revived and increased my love for spam! Never thought I'd eat spam again, but goodness can they make a spam slider and a darn tootin amazing spamwich.

Great atmosphere and food, especially the rosemary chicken salad. The daily soup I had was very different, a smoky chicken stew, and it turned out delicious. Excellent drink selection, with several great beers from Alabama/Florida. The owner works behind the bar, introduces himself to everyone, and really went out of his way to make us welcome. He had great recommendations for other weekend food spots too. Can't recommend this place enough!
