Pensacola / Panama City
Emerald Coast
The Emerald Coast runs from Pensacola to Panama City Beach: quartz-sand dunes so white they're often mistaken for snow, a historic lighthouse standing watch over the harbor, and Old Florida fish camps that never gave way to high-rises. It's the slowest, saltiest stretch of the Gulf coast, and exactly the kind of place worth planting a torch.
We are not gathering here yet. Phase I is Northeast Florida, and the next market opens when there is an Organizer to run it and a room worth booking every month. Everything below is scouting, not a schedule — join the waitlist and tell us this is your market, because that is how we decide where to go next.
Tiki & tropical bars
0 rooms worth crossing the region for, picked by Rum & Thatch. A curated list, not a directory: no venue here is a sponsor, and none of them is claimed as a partner.
We haven’t scouted the rooms here yet. Mixers land in a market once someone has actually sat at the bar, so this list stays empty until then.
Cigar lounges
Ember Nights country: low light, leather chairs, and conversation that outlasts the ash. No cigar required — plenty of members come for the rum on the shelf and the company.
We haven’t scouted the lounges here yet. Ember Nights land in a market once someone has actually sat in the room, so this list stays empty until then.
Membership is free and strictly 21+. Join now and you'll hear the moment Emerald Coast opens.
