I visited the dock 2 days ago to have a couple of drinks on the beach with no luck. I walked up to the bar facing the beach, but the crowd was a little thick and it looked like a long wait, so I decided to go inside. My first impression was of a typical rathole dive, sort of a crowd of people who all look like they've just been released from prison for cooking meth or stabbing someone. Not to mention the terrible band whose singer was so drunk you couldn't understand him. I walked to the bar, and after waiting a good 25 minutes for the bartender to wait on the 6 or so people that were before me (and 2 who were after) he got to me and asked what I wanted. My wife is kind of picky and they didn't have what she wanted so I said never mind and left. I came back in from the beach after about 30 minutes or so to order drinks for me and my sister after my wife found hers elsewhere. We waited as the bartender served everyone else who was there, after which he just looked at us and walked out without saying a word. I guess that's the kind of service I should've expected from such a dump.

Come on guys, its a beach bar, what do you expect but to be half naked, sandy assed, tipsy and looking for more fun. This place is amazing, its a bar with some food, not a freaking 4 star restaurant so dont expect that. Appreciate it for what it is, A kick ass beach bar with $5 all you can drink on Wednesday and the best view of beaches and bikinis..

Frozen drinks were ok my husband walked up to grab some frozen margaritas but I'm giving it a 1 star because they play their music so loud pointing speakers at the beach it kinda ruins the point of trying to relax on the beach. But what pissed me off was the fact they blare the uncensored music as soon as they open and there were literally no customers In there until 4 hours later. They are going to run off the families from this spot of the beach permenantly which hurts the other businesses around it. So many people left this area of the beach because of the loud uncensored music, I had several people tell me to go to orange beach or to quite beach. Since I love this spot I stayed but next time I visit unfortunately I will not patronize this area of the beach again. Because of their noise pollution I had to explain to my child things I should have at the beach.. they are ruining this beach.

We came here to rent two scooters. We paid and were on are way. 20 minutes later one broke down, after sitting on the side of the road for 30 minutes and calling 15 times (no exaggeration) they answered and said some one was on there way. 45 minutes later no one showed up so I called another 8 times before I got ahold of some one. They again told me someone was on the way. So again we waited for 30 minutes. After no one showed I left and came back to get my car to go pick up my brother. When we came back Bruce told us there were no refunds. And that I was crazy for thinking I would get my money back. The only one here that is good at anything is the bar back. I think his name was Alex. Bruce never once apologized for not answering or the fact that we were stuck on the side of the road for 1 1/2 hours.

The servers work hard, but are spread too thin. Great atmosphere for young adults not so much a family spot. The fish tacos (grilled) were great for a bar food spot.

The worst hamburger on the beach...by far. It's a pre-formed, frozen patty in the shape of an asteroid. Or something. I've bought the same burgers from Sam's Club, where they are called TNT Burgers. The difference? When I cook 'em at the house, they don't cost $9 apiece. Hell, I didn't even get a toasted bun for my money. Greasy fries. Blech. I like hanging out at the Dock and will continue to do so, but will never order another burger. It's a shame that the management chooses to serve such dreck. Pfft. So, four stars as a place to hang out and drink, two-stars on the strength--or lack thereof--of their crappy burger.

This bar has typical frozen food type selection. I like to drink the bushwacker when I visit Pensacola beach. The cheese fireballs are the only thing I enjoy eating here. Other than that, I would just save my money and eat elsewhere.

Stopped in this place to grab a bite to eat before one of the Bands on the Beach concerts nearby. It is a shabby beach bar that serves what may possible be considered food, but I emphasize may. This was the worst Po Boy sandwich I have ever had, anywhere. I will give a little credit, the fries were acceptable. To make the experience ever worse, I got one of their margarita specials, which was mediocre. The prices were very high for what you get here. My advise is to avoid this place.

Great beachside bar. I always visit when I'm in the area. The only dislike I have is the kitchen closing at 6:00 PM. I look forward to my next visit. The Bushwhackers are VERY good!

While on my little solo vacationing, came thru here and their locale is cool and I love the outside bar overlooking the ocean. Fried fish is not my thing, but I had to ge some seafood in so I asked for the fish basket grilled. I could have shared it with 2 more people! it was plentiful and good. spacious and did not stay lomng but I bet is a fun dig later at night.

You are going for the view! The dock sits directly on Pensacola Beach to the left of the water tower. You can park in the lot there. You want an outside deck seat to enjoy the view and people watch. The food is all right, but most people seem to be drinking or cooling off from the beach. There are servers but they need more. Its a divey, woodsy, western feel decor and kind of dark. The deck has picnic type tables and you can kick back, eat and relax while enjoying the beach view.

I'm giving two stars only because of the location & the consistency & flavor of the drinks. With several different flavors to choose from you can't go wrong it's sort of like having a fat Tuesdays on the beach. Now the staff is another thing extremely rude and I sat and watched them serve four to five different people prior to coming to take my order; and those customers came after I had sat down and was waiting to be served and I flagged my hand at the bartender to try & be served, if it wasn't such a warm day and I was thirsty and wanted one of those drinks I would've got up and left. Not what I return that's an absolutely no I'd rather walk the distance and go over to bamboo willies, which is on the opposite side of the beach but that's okay.

This is my kinda after dark joint. Green and blue lights above me, tiny tv's and a "home of the $5 JagerBomb" LED sign in front of me, service industry peoples fresh off work to my left, Stevie Nicks on the stereo, ocean breeze in my hair and hell no they don't have food after midnight. Smoke 'em if you got 'em and give Ryan my best.

during the day i like the place, its nice to run up from the beach and be able to buy a beer with no shoes on. But i night the small dance floor is filled with out of shape females, surrounded by a bunch of guys in "white tees." Maybe the two times i went there at night were off nights for the place but unless someone can give me a good reason to go back, im not going to.
