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. However, on [[May 24]], [[2007]], the ''News Journal'' reported that the Pensacola location had also been ordered to remove its similar signage after a DBPR inspection cited the restaurant for "lack of signage properly designating bathrooms".<ref>[http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070524/NEWS01/705240318/1006 "Losing its bathroom humor"] - ''Pensacola News Journal'', May 18, 2007.</ref> Notably, the Destin restaurant was inspected in January 2007 (as well as many times over the past several years) and was not at any time cited for the signage | + | The order to remove the confusing signage at the Destin location did not apply to the McGuire's in Pensacola.
