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 gathering in.

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 free and tell us this is your market, because that is how we decide where to go next.

Founding Organizer wanted

Become the Founding Organizer for Emerald Coast

Emerald Coast opens once someone local is ready to run it. If you know the rooms here and want to host the first Mixer, apply to be its Founding Organizer.

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.
