landestinely tucked away inside Scenic 

Hills Country Club on Burning Tree 

Road in Pensacola, the bar is the center 

of attention. A bevy of activity surrounds 

the bar all throughout the day.  In the mornings, 

one may overhear coffee conversations among the 

golfers as they prepare for their tee times. Later in 

the day, others come and go for lunch meetings, 

happy hour, or a fun evening with friends spent at 

this bar-in-the-round.

The round shaped bar is a favorite as it allows people 

to sit and talk to each other in closer proximity than a 

standard, straight, long bar. Friendships are readily 

built here on bar stools that are comfortably padded 

with tall backs used for hanging purses. The area lends 

itself exceptionally well as a place to dine alone or for 

fun with your entire squad. Jovial bartenders pass out 

favored beverages such as icy cold beer, fi ne wines, 

liquors, and an assortment of cocktails including 

featured drinks such as The Hole In One Martini.
