Buzz:World of Beer coming to downtown Pensacola


There has been a constant buzz about the bar “World of Beer” coming to Pensacola. I had heard that they were looking at possible space at the Maritime Park, but the rumor has shifted to Palafox Place.

The chain was started by two Gulf Breeze friends, Scott Zepp and Matt LaFon, who opened in 2007 their first their World of Beer in the community of Westchase in Tampa. Today, it has sold 116 franchises in 11 states.

I think Zepp and LaFon will own the Pensacola location.
