Bamboo Willie's Beachside Bar
Bamboo Willies Pensacola Beach offers unique and delicious frozen cocktails right next to the beach. This is a great bar to meet new friends, relax with a great drink in between, taking a nice stroll on the beautiful Quietwater beach.
I am not sure which cocktail is my new favorite drink but I have to say all of the drinks we tried were fantastic.
The Cherry Bomb comes with a yellow rubber ducky, a fun souvenir of your time in beautiful Pensacola Beach.
Make sure to look at all of the frozen drink dispensers to see if they have your favorite cool beverage. I am always amazed at how many flavors of drinks are available.
