We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola. Imagine food with soul, both exciting and traditional, in a breezy setting, right in the heart of Old East Hill. We are open daily for Dinner at 5pm

    This is a family owned and operated new business. From the moment you drive up front and park you know this is going to be a good experience, and it was. From the custom drinks to the deserts this was an experience we will cherish. If you like old fashion drinks 🍹 this is your place. The appetizers and salads were fabulous then came the meats which were served hot and done to perfection. If you are ever in this area DO NOT PASS Char 51 up. Make this your choice for lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed.
