Just a few steps down the east alleyway, the first door to your right
opens into Rosie O'Grady's. Rosie's was the birthplace of Seville
Quarter and the complex you see today as well as Church Street Station
in Orlando.
Everything began in this room with beer, peanuts, and
goodtime Dixieland jazz. The featured drink in Rosie's is our
famous Flaming Hurricane with souvenir glass. The building that
houses Rosie's was built in 1871 as the Pensacola Cigar and Tobacco Co.
The main door into Rosie's came from a mansion in
Mobile and the other doorway from a townhouse in England. The
original room in 1967 was much rougher, with concrete floors and little
fine detail. After achieving notable success. Bob Snow, as a labor
of love remodeled Rosie's with its grand woodwork, pressed tin ceiling
and other lavish details you now see.
