Karaoke · Pensacola, FL
About
This might not be a dark, loud club. The Cabaret is a relaxed neighborhood bar where the crowd is intentionally mixed – gay, straight, transgender, anyone. It's known for karaoke, gallery nights with live entertainment, and a Sunday potluck that regulars look forward to.
Open daily from 3pm (11am Sunday) until 2:30am, with a full bar, free wifi, and outdoor seating. The vibe is more professional than divey, and you could bring your mom here. Happy hour is a good time to check it out.

“Obviously Pensacola's Best Kept Secret”
If you're looking for a dirty, judgmental, smoke-filled bass-thumping remix disco, this isn't it. As someone who travels a lot, I'm used to that typical scene, so it was refreshing to find a clean, slightly upscale professional bar in the South. Thanks to gaycities for directing me here, and thanks to the Cabaret staff for having such a place. I'll return every time I'm in town.

“Best bar”
This is one of the best gay, straight, transgender, etc. bars in town. No one judges here, and it's a great place to bring your mom. It's a wonderful spot to hang out with friends and meet new ones. The drinks are excellent, the service is excellent. The Cabaret is excellent.

“My Fave Place”
I love the Cabaret. Its corner location is easy to get to and central to many downtown events. It's a wonderful mix of openly diverse people enjoying great hospitality in a warm, inviting space where the staff are friendly and fun. I always have a blast on karaoke nights, gallery nights with live entertainment, potluck Sundays, and special holiday events. And if I just want some quiet time away from the world, I can find that too at my favorite local getaway.

“Not a fan..”
Overpriced, no pool table, and no longer 18+ (not that I care much, but still). When this was Jack and Ron's, it was a much cooler hangout. Go to The Otherside next to Emerald City instead.
