For Release: May 14, 2012
Come join us at the Fish House to celebrate the Fourth of July! This year, the Fourth falls on a Wednesday, which means it's Ladies' Night! We will be serving up $2 drinks on the Deck for all of the ladies, your call, all night long. Local favorite Lucas Crutchfield will perform on the Deck Bar beginning at 5:00 p.m., entertaining until the fireworks begin. After the fireworks show is over, we will have live music on the stage for the remainder of the evening. The Atlas, Fish House and the Deck Bar will be open for walk-in dining, serving from our spring/summer dinner menu all evening.
In addition, on the balcony above the Fish House, we will once again be offering our special five-course food and wine dinner. Each table will have prime waterfront seating overlooking beautiful Pensacola Bay. All tables will have an unobstructed view of the thrilling fireworks show, which begins at 9:00 p.m. The table will be yours for the evening to come and go from as you please. There are no time restrictions for seating.
