  This place was adorable, though the staff thought I was a bit strange for being so excited about being at such an awesome bar. The local's looked super out of place for me, but I must have looked strange to them
  
  loved the themed drinks, NES & other games available

  Palafox is a great strip for nightlife and right in the middle of that strip is Play. Play is a place where your inner child can come out while drinking cheap beer on tap or a Jameson on the rocks if that's your calling.  Visiting over the holidays, friends and family were raving about Play.
  
  I could see why.
  
  Faces young and old were crowding the bar and most were playing the arcade games Play had to offer. From PAC-MAN to air hockey, photo-booth to a juke box, you'll certainly find something at Play to entertain you. Cheap beers ( 1$ PBR, yes!) to a local band you can sing along too (They covered Dashboard Confessional..yes I sang along) Play is great for date night, casual hang outs, or however your inner child challenges you. Hey, they even have a Skee Ball League! ( Don't worry, I didn't know the leagues existed either)
  My advice: Bring quarters. And lots of it. They have a change machine, but on the offhand that machine is out of order (like last night) you'll have a pretty tough time dodging the bar patrons getting change from the friendly bartenders.
  
  Overall, you're never too old to play Air hockey, skee ball, or even Nintendo on a beat up couch and the atmosphere of Play proves that.

  This place is cool if your just bar hopping and want to grab a fast beer and shoot a game of pool. No smoking inside and not much music but its worth a visit!

  I went to Pensacola to visit my best friend and went to Play. OMG I love Play! My favorite bar by far! Love the atmosphere. Bar tenders are really nice! and fun games! I live in illinois and I want to go back here!

  Play is a "barcade" - a bar, meets an arcade. It lives up to the name, and is already becoming the place to see & be see for the under 40 crowd in Pensacola.
  
  If you're looking for something to do that doesn't start with Seville or end in Quarter, this is it!

  The is a really cool hang out with a great location.  Bartenders are really cool.  They have some awesome old school bar games, video games, and TVs!  $1 Draft beer whenever there is a game on.
