Founded by [[McGuire Martin|McGuire]] and [[Molly Martin]] in 1977, the restaurant was originally located in [[Town & Country Plaza]]. McGuire's moved to its current [[Gregory Street]] location (Pensacola's [[1927 firehouse|original firehouse]]) in 1982. It is known for its on-site brewery and patron traditions, like kissing a stuffed moosehead and stapling autographed dollar-bill "tips" to the ceiling. A second location has also opened in [[Destin]]. |

− | The order to remove the confusing signage at the Destin location did not apply to the McGuire's in Pensacola.
