Redd’s Pub, a beloved local institution known for its vibrant “dive bar” atmosphere, the unforgettable performances of Redd the Singing Bartender and live bands, is being forced to relocate from its current location at 2320 W. Hwy. 30A. Recent new owners informed Redd of an impending renovation, with just three weeks’ notice.
There is a silver lining: Redd’s Pub will soon be opening a new chapter in the Emerald Coast Plaza at 3906 US Hwy 98 W, Unit 1, Santa Rosa Beach, with an anticipated opening date in late September or early October 2024.
After more than a decade at its iconic location, Redd’s Pub has become a cornerstone of the community since its opening in 2013. The restaurant’s unique blend of great food, lively entertainment and the unmistakable charm of its owner, Redd, has made it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
The untimely requirement to relocate came as a shock, but the team at Redd’s is excited about the opportunity to bring their signature experience to a new venue that promises to be even more accessible and enjoyable for all. Now through Labor Day weekend is the time to visit Redd’s on 30A and grab a piece of history.
Redd, who has poured her heart and soul into the restaurant, shared her mixed feelings about the move: “Leaving the tight-knit community on 30A is bittersweet. This place has been the backdrop for so many memories and friendships, but change is part of life, and we’re embracing this opportunity with open arms. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new location nearby, where the spirit of Redd’s will continue to thrive. I hope to recreate the current vibe with some terrific upgrades.”
The new venue on U.S. Hwy. 98 will offer the same warm hospitality, delicious food and lively entertainment that Redd’s has become known for, in a setting that promises to be as inviting as ever.
As the community eagerly awaits the reopening, Redd and her team are hard at work ensuring that the new location will be ready to continue the legacy that began a little more than eleven years ago. Redd looks forward to celebrating this new chapter with both longtime patrons and new friends when the doors open later this fall.
