Going to Pensacola is always fun, considering that this is where it all started at Naval Aircrewman Candidate School, where I got to swim, PT and PT and swim every day. Every. Day. And the really funny thing about that is that I STILL wasn't in the bast shape of my life coming out. No, that time was when I was rowing in high school with the guy to the right! We went to HS together, joined the Navy (almost) together, and then didn't see each other for almost 20 years. So it was awesome when I called and told him I was coming to Pensacola and he just happened to be in Mobile!
So we went back to both of our first real hobby, and that would be aircraft. Between the two of us, we know everything. Yes, we know more than you. Deal with it. The Cubi Bar cafe is modeled after a club in Cubi Point, Philippines that catered mostly to aviators and aircrewmen It was an Officers Club, however the cool officers would bring the entire aircrew as guests. If you were a boat sailor, you didn't go there unless you were invited and escorted. The decor is a lot of the naval aviation memorabilia that was in the actual Cubi Bar from
But, lets face it, one does not go to the National Naval Aviation Museum for the food. To be perfectly honest, the food at the original was a lot better and featured local fare. You go here to grab a snack or a light lunch while you are at the museum. The attraction is the memorabilia and you can easily walk around looking at all of it for a lot longer than you spent eating there. That being said, the staff is extremely friendly and the service is quick. The food is average but the surroundings are like no other place you will ever be.
