Always make a point to stop by for great beer and my wife and I are no strangers to this brewery. Would be more stars if the posted hours were upheld. Walked in on patrons enjoying brews over an hour and half before closing and our business was turned away. Maybe well consider coming again.
Cool local brewery with a great selection. Nice outdoor seating area. There is a cigar shop attached and cigar smokers on the patio area. If thats not your thing there is plenty of seating inside. Dogs are welcome, so also cool to go out for a drink and bring your pup. Staff was friendly and service was good. No real food options available but they do allow outside food to be brought in and/or delivered.
Becca was an awesome Beertender!!!Great personality, friendly, and knowledgeable about the beer.The Hefe was delicious!!!
Great beers and great staff. Its a fun place to hang out at.
Great place to hang out for a bit! Ping pong, corn hole, picnic tables, inside you’ll find an air-conditioned bar area and cigar shop. There’s a Pensacola Pizza food truck outside in case you are hungry! Cool place! The blueberry wave is made from fresh local blueberries and it’s great! Mike got the tropical IPA And says it’s awesome!
Not the best brewery. Ive never been to a brewery where I dont like any of the beers (Ive been to a lot of breweries) and this was the exception. First of all, it was 8:00 pm on a Saturday and they were OUT of all of the beers I wanted to try on my flight so I had to try things I normally wouldnt. Second, I really did not like the atmosphere of this building/place. Go to Perfect Plain instead if you are looking for a brewery in Pensacola.
While traveling through the area I stopped into Gulf Coast Brewery for a quick drink. I had the October-fest which was one the best I have ever had. The tasting room is nice, and the staff was friendly. I wish I could of had more and spent more time there but I was on a tight schedule. I would definitely stop in here again. Cheers!
Always a good choice.
Always a good selection (though sometimes the varietys are more flavorful than other times - not sure why) & staff is always super helpful and friendly. Fun venue too - its a regular stop every time we visit Pensacola.
Good craft beer and stuff to do also. Nice bar area with at least one TV. Or go play games and stuff in the warehouse area or sit in the patio area. Nice venue and easy to get to. I saw an earlier comment about the tack-on fee for using a credit card, there are clear signs everywhere that they offer a cash discount so if you use a card you are going to pay a few cents more, but Im surprised more venues dont do the same thing given how the CC companies are raking businesses over the coals.Also, a few of their mainline beers are distributed locally. I always prefer local beers when I dine out.
Great Beer menu, vast choices. Waitress brought out samples to try to help make a decision. Food was delicious and prices were very reasonable. They have a rewards program that is well worth joining. A must try restaurant. Great staff.
Love this place!!! Super friendly, great beers, great cigars, and Jerry’s bistreaux is always on point! Absolutely amazing!!!
Golf coast has a great location. The bar and gaming area in the brewery are lots of fun. Great bartenders with fast service. Only bad part was I only liked two of the six beers I tried.
Great atmosphere, excellent service, mediocre beer. Love the corn hole and arcade games, all set on a nice patio and alongside some brewing vats. The service is the best Ive had in Pensacola, very kind, considerate, and passionate about their establishment. The beer was mediocre at best. We each had a flight, and maybe 2 of the 8 were considered good. They lacked carbonation and the flavors were off. But dont forget the great atmosphere and employees!
Really helpful and kind staff. Beers are good and they have a good variety for all kinds of beer drinkers.
This place will leaving wanting to come back for more! Great selection. Staff is awesome and food is on point!
Cool place with excellent beer.
Let me start by saying I dont drink. I dont, at all. However, I travel with a boozer who hits every brewery we drive by! (She enjoys craft beers and always gets a flight.)This was a very nice space and was right across from our hotel. It was friendly and welcoming and my boozer-bud said the beers were great. Bartender was very nice! But, better than that, we were here on a night where they were having a benefit for the Pensacola Humane Society. Everyone was encouraged to bring their 4-legged family member, they had Santa there, and you could take your pic with your pet and Santa (free, and they asked for donations). This is MY kind of brewery! It was so much fun and there were so many dogs and everyone was having such a good time. While I cant speak for the beer, I can say that I appreciate a business that supports any kind of animal rescue - thats a REALLY good thing. My friend enjoyed the beer and I enjoyed taking photos of all the dogs and their humans. Win/Win! It was truly great night and I am so glad I got to be a part of it.Parking was free in front and the space is nice and clean, and theres a big glass window where you can see the brewing. All good!!!
Good beer/ wine selection, nice little cigar room and a fun atmosphere. The bartenders are top notch and friendly. They have corn hole, ping pong and darts to play while enjoying the drinks and company. The outside music was good and appropriate for the establishment. They have both an inside seating and exterior deck. Conveniently located behind the well known Irish pub in downtown Pensacola.
Bar is nice and clean. Beer is surprisingly good and they have a lot of options. There are complimentary games to enjoy (corn hole, ping pong, and checkers) there is a cigar shop and large humidor at the bar as well. There was a good truck offering pizza. Not sure if that’s a mainstay
Best brewery on the Gulf Coast! Been coming here since the first day they opened. Great beer, great staff... Cant beat it! Best part... They are dog friendly and do a lot to support various rescues and other charities.
Great new place. Pensacola doesnt really have anything like this. Beautiful bar area and fun game area in warehouse where beer vats are located. Only reason I gave 4 stars is they are still building their beer selection. The two beers Ive tried are really good (Red & Creme Ale?). Excited to try more beers as they come out. Great atmosphere.
Nice vibe inside and cool hangout spot. Good variety of beers, and they will let you taste them to see what you may like.
Im not a fan of their beer. But Ive done what you should do, which is go try it for yourself. Ive been 3 times, once when they first opened and didnt have much on tap, again when they had more, and the last time when they were in full swing. I have never been impressed by their beer, but thats me and you may have different tastes. The brewery has a nice casual open space with some games like cornhole and ping pong. Inside the bar area is nice, but I think the cigar smoke could be a little more contained.
An enjoyable evening all around.
Cozy atmosphere and great beer with good prices. Love it that the dogs are welcome on the porch. Only bad thing is my pretzels are always slow coming. They might need more help .
Very average to subpar beer. Cigar shop inside so a bit of a smiley smell. Service isnt to bad. Setup is pretty nice and typical for a brewery. They have bottles to go. But none of the beer was amazing to me. Good for the average beer person. Not the beer snob.
An hour before closing the pub stacked chairs on the tables and had trash and brooms out. An hour before is not appropriate!UPDATE: I received a response from the owner and he informed me that this is not ordinary and he will be reviewing the closing procedures with his staff. We all make mistakes. The way it is handled makes all the difference. I will be back!
Great brewery with so much to offer. Good for the whole family, including the 4-legged variety. Love the Cigar humidor and smoking room. Very unique touch. Cant think of a way to make this joint better. Kudos
Nice finishes inside. It looks very upscale. Fun place to visit, great brews on tap and plenty to choose from. Grab a six pack or growler to go too.
My daughter and I took the brewery tour and sampled a number of beers. By and large, they were all great examples of each style. The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly, and the brew master was both knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys good beer and good times.
Love the beer, the staff, and the venue. It is a great place to have a beer and relax, play corn hole/ping pong, or pick a cigar in the humidor and smoke it in the cigar lounge. The atmosphere is awesome and is the only brewery I will go to in Pensacola. The others do not compare!
A friend, the former head brewer at McGuire Irish Pub, once told me Pensacola isnt big enough to support more than one brewery. Pensacola Bay brewing & now Gulf Coast brewery have proven him to be so wrong! This is an incredible brewery that produces exceptional beers. Its also nice to go to a place that treats you like an adult by allowing you to light up a stoggie in the adjacent cigar lounge. What a great addition to the Pensacola brewing scene.
Stopped here while on vacation in Pensacola. They have a great selection of beer and the food was good too. Dont be afraid to bring the family because they have lots of games and theyre family friendly.
This is our go to brewery in Pensacola!! Love the atmosphere! Beer selection is GREAT!!!! You can play Ping pong and Cornhole. Outdoor seating is nice. Cigars and a smoking room are available.
Great beer, relaxing cigar room!
Top brewery to visit in pensacola for the outdoors lover for sure one of my top spots the outside section sweeps you off your feet and their beer selection peeks your curiosity
Pretty awesome place. Get the tropical IPA and the blood orange pilsner. You can play ping pong, connect four, and corn hole.
My wife and I went out to the fermentation room to play darts but all the darts were broken. The air was filled with cigarette smoke and there was gangster rap playing on the speakers. We figured the smoke was a result of the smoking deck outside. But then a group of five men who were either visitors or workers came walking out from the fermentation tank area while smoking cigarettes. So overall, the place looks nice and the beer is good, but Im not impressed with the fact that people can smoke in the brewing area. As a beer lover, it leads me to question the standards of the owners and their beer.
I kike this Brewery better than all the others Ive been to!!1
Do not buy cigars here. These cigars could be considered good cheese with the amount of mould on them. The smell of mould it’s overpowering in the humidor.
This place is great. Tried to go to Pensacola Bay Brewery but parking was a night mate. Thankfully i could this place. Relaxed bar, friendly service, locals and more. Come check out out. Beers are great.
Came in right after they opened on a Monday. Had their double IPA, played two games of ping pong, wanted to stay longer. Amazing cigar bar as well! Come check this place out!
I can say but little to add to all of the good reviews for GCB. It truly is a Gem. Great Beer, wonderful atmosphere, so relaxed, you cant help but chill. Give em a try, Im sure to be a new regular for sure. Cheers!Update. Came in for the tour of the inner workings of the Brewery. Was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. It was a very informative tour, and the Wife and I learned a lot about how good craft beer is made. including hops, malted barley, yeast, and how the bulk beer brewers are different than craft beer.Keep up the good work!
Third time here. Great people and great beer. No longer doing food but still an awesome place to start our end the evening.
Just love this atmosphere. So relaxed and refreshing. And to see the very place the beer is Brewed, how nice is that???
Micro Brewery with complimentary Cornhole, Ping Pong, Checkers, and other ancillary Games. SUPER Dog Friendly. Large selection of Beers and Wines.Regular Food Trucks and Ample (FREE) Parking round off reasons to eliminate leaving for the Headaches that small details Downtown Pensacola presents.
It was great. Too lively for my old guy sensibilities, but it was Mardi gras weekend. This is the tastiest beer in town.
Great venue, excellent menu, relaxed atmosphere.
Tried a flight. The sour porter was most memorable but others not so great...bitter and some aftertaste. The atmosphere is terrible. You are greeted with a terrible cigar and cigarette smoke smell and the air is visibly smoke filled. They even let people smoke in the large room where the brew tanks are located. Only come here if you want to go home smelling terrible because of people who love cancer sticks and not so good beer!
Beer is okay. I keep coming back because its close enough to bike. Pet friendly outside.
Perfect place to have a beer and relax with some corn hole or ping pong.
Great beer, friendly service! A great asset to our community. Thanks for sponsoring the Thursday night run!
Karma Drven IPA is very good. Unfortunately it took me 4 of them to find out . I picked up a six pack at Sams Club in FWB and the first 3 bottles I opened were dead flat.
Great environment! Dog friendly! Games to play. And BEER! BEER! BEER! Great Beer at that!
Great beer and service. Ambiance is good, and its great for large groups of people to hang out.
Nice little spot for a beer. Great cigar room
Love the environment, and the music is great. Modern bar with quality bar tables, and 2000s music like Foo Fighters.
The environment was awesome with really good beer. Bought a six pack to take home.
Great place to hang out and have a beer and a cigar. Relaxed atmosphere, good people.
Love this brewery. One of our new favs in PCOLA
KD-IPA 6.5abv pretty good, malt fwd low hop nose low hop full bitter finish (a throwback, from 10yrs ago, maybe?) 16oz ; Trop-IPA 7.0abv good, low fruit forward dank nose no bitter clean finish (cloudy, using fruit puree) taster ; B-Coff-Porter 5.8abv very good, low coffee malt nose and on the finish 16oz- good WiFi, good parking, outdoor seating, cigar lounge, while right on the street poor signage makes it easy to miss (in back of McGuires), serving sizes and prices are clearly listed, (18 offerings available today, 6 are adjunct/Belgo things)
Beer is good and they did a great job inside. Love that you can see the Brewery also.
They have beer and the beer they have is good. They also do cigars.
Very nice looking place. Beer was good!
Very nice atmosphere and service. Quality beer with growler fills at a great price.
