The World of Beer franchise started in Florida in 2006, and by mid 2013 grew to over 40 locations throughout the US. The WOB business model is unique; they specialize in serving just beer and nothing else! Most locations have about 50 craft brews on tap, and several hundred variety in bottles. The service is casual, and you are free to choose your own table. Some WOB locations serve from a very simple appetizer menu, but you can also order or bring in food from nearby restaurants. In one sense this allows for great dining options, but in another sense it seems a little inconvenient. In any case, I am very fond of sampler flights at WOB to discover a variety of new beers.

The Pensacola WOB is located in the popular Palafox area with many restaurants, shops, and bars in walking distance. Parking is free along the streets. It is a one-story building with a street corner entrance, the WOB logo overhead, and large sliding windows that let in fresh air. There are plenty of metal patio furniture tables out front and along the side of the building. Inside there is space for a live band and a long 26 chair wooden bar. There are also several high top tables and bench seating along the wall. The walls are brick veneer and there are numerous overhead televisions and an impressive beer bottle collection. The atmosphere is lively, with good music.
The service is very friendly, helpful and quick to offer samples. The bar has over 50 craft beers on tap, and about 450 bottled beers ranging all styles. You are just about guaranteed to find something new.
