The Roundup

"A bar from the good old days. Very fun crowd, not too cliquish. The freedom to smoke inside was a wonderful thing. Not a restrictive environment at all. Just come and do your thing!"

"We’re a relatively conservative gay couple, both professionals, age 53 and 65 years old. Both of us wore matching attention-getting t-shirts that said “Top Shelf Dad” (it’s a joke). Expected more outgoing personalities but instead encountered more of a local crowd, older with lots of hugging, that doesn’t leave their circle of friends. It’s a dive bar where smoking is allowed. We both remembered why we don’t care to go to gay bars and why we haven’t in a long time. The bartender was adequate and served us well, but we just didn’t have a great time and left."

"The RoundUp has been a great place to meet up with old friends or make new ones ever since I moved to Pensacola in 1986. The new one has a great layout where you can be in the middle of everything or get a semi quiet corner to yourself. Excellent crowd mix and superb staff too! Bars come and go but this one has achieved icon status for a reason."

"I love this place, is it perfect? No, is it elegant? No but it IS fun, cozy, and excepting of ALL types of genders and identifications. I visit here on average of 2 nights a week fully dressed (CD) and have never felt out of place, disrespected or not welcome. What I love is everyone seems to respect everyone weather they are their “type” or not. The drag shows are amazing for a small town place and draw a pretty good crowd. Best $5 of entertainment in Pensacola! Monthly theme nights are a blast! See picture and the second Saturday’s are Leather and Denim night followed by the Live DJ night, rarely miss. The drink prices are standard and 90% of the time- made right and strong, the way they should be. Bar staff “bust their Azz” to keep up with the crowd. The Operations crew are effective and tireless to get the job done. Not to mention funny and accommodating. The outside deck is cozy and intimate lighted. Bottom line is everyone from the Bear masculine to the Crossdressed Fem will enjoy what I call my home away from home. If only they played more 80s and 90s music. The viewed average crowd age would match it. Take one of those unused Saturdays a month (last one for example) and make it a “Retro night” 80s etc. I’m betting when the word got out it would be a popular attraction."
