Do not even think about leaving Pensacola Beach without coming here for a Bushwacker first! The best one you will ever have, ever. I'm really not a bar girl, but I love this place. You can always count on seeing someone you know and getting to know someone you don't. I've had so much fun here so many times I can't even tell you. Check their website and come hear a great band. My one complaint is the smokey smell inside, soooo....I don't go inside. You can order through the window outside just fine! Beverly and Joe are the nicest people you will ever meet, and if you're visting, make a point to meet them. Have fun!
Review Source:Went there with basically the Mayor of this bar. Â He had his own parking spot!
I think the best way to describe it is Karaoke Sh*tshow. Â It was hilarious. Â The bushwackers didn't hurt either.
Also learned a new song: Red Solo Cup. Â Apparently the dude who sang it "is there every week." Â I downloaded it to my iPhone immediately.
Definitely check it out if you're in the area.
One of my "go-to" bars on Pcola Beach. Â I generally prefer the 'Shaker during the day and enjoy being able to get out on the deck or the crow's nest upper deck. Â Also a great place to see some talented local bands, although the set-up isn't ideal...if you are inside of the "garage" where the bands play, your ears will bleed, but if you out on the deck, you're either standing up or just listening, because there will be throngs of people massed at the deck steps.
The drinks are reliable. Â The bushwackers are delivered in Styrofoam cups that provide you with enough time to actually enjoy the slushiness before it melts, unlike some places on the beach that go the cheap route and use thin plastic cups. Â No draft beer, but the longnecks are always cold.
As several others have noted, the 'Shaker is definitely a locals hangout, but it isn't solely a locals bar. Â Due to its proximity to the Casino Beach parking lot and Quietwater Boardwalk (which somebody told me is now, officially "Portofino Boardwalk" or some crap that I'll never use), it is convenient no matter where you are on the beach.
I appreciate all of the stuff that Sonny does for local charities at the 'Shaker. Â I've been to crawfish boils to benefit locals and the Krewe du Ya Yas has an event every summer to benefit breast cancer. Â The sense of community matters...a lot of places are focused too tightly on making another dollar.
The gift shop has some neat shirts and trinkets. Â I have some nice and colorful t-shirts that elicit happy memories of long weekends spent getting blasted at the 'Shaker. :p
No trip to the beach could be complete without at least one beer at the 'Shaker. Â The employees are nice, although it does get quite busy and hectic at times. Â Give the place a shot.
I was told by our waitress at Peg Leg Pete's not to leave town without trying a bushwhacker. It was freezing at the beach and a bushwhacker seemed like a good idea. This is a locals bar and they were all partying on a Sunday afternoon. I cannot stand being around cigarette smoke so we grabbed our bushwhackers and sat under a heat lamp outside. The bushwhacker was creamy good and would have been even better if it had been warmer than 58 degrees. A fun stop.
Review Source:I'm not a bar person, but I liked this bar. Â Sanshaker has the friendly feel of the classic Cheers bar, where everyone knows your name. Â It's a place where the locals hangout, and I see why.
At first I walked in and was exhausted from a busy week and quickly started divulging in their bushwacker, topped off with a horribly tasting shot of 151, I stirred until I couldn't taste the alcohol, must understand that I'm not a drinker.
The bushwacker was yummy, it had a nice vanilla bean ice cream taste to it. Â I heard lots of talk about their strawberry and banana bushwacker, I must see what this is about. Â I tried my friends and quickly indulged, was happy to be chewing on fresh chunks of banana, yummy! Â I ordered one myself and it was gone in 60 seconds. Â Â I opted this time without a shot of 151 and enjoyed this delightful drink that was made to order. Â I definitely recommend ordering the strawberry banana bushwacker and the classic bushwacker.
We sat at Hillary's bar. Â A beautiful bartender with a mesmerizing personality. Â She took good care of us and she herself gets 5 stars on service and friendliness. Â There is nothing more annoying then a bitchy pretty bartender, who is bitchy just because she has to serve a pretty lady. Â Hillary gave us the ultimate Cheers experience, friendly, personable, human and on beat. Â Her drinks were delicious. Â She even gave my husband and I red snappers on the house, they too were good tasting shots, perfectly mixed.
I look forward to my next outing to Sandshakers. Â I also look forward to Hillary take care of my husband and I again.
All in all, I'm not a bar girl, but this humble bar has me hooked. Â
I also liked how the owner is very friendly and went around greeting the guests. Â
Nice neighborhood bar.
Went whilst on my solo Vacationing, i came here solo, they had a great sounding band playing all the hair-rock. Has a funtastick upper deck overlooking the beach and all the areas below. Tiny fucking restroom but has another one behind the clothing cabinet so go there. Lots of rednecks but all sweet. Met a super tall dude called Tiny,  or shorty.  Beers were cold and a cute slender chic works the tiki hut  out front. very beachy. Me likes
