The original '''Machinegun Kelly's''' was the area's most popular live rock-and-roll entertainment establishment during the mid-to-late 1970's. Originally owned by Jack Wing and later sold to Buddy Davis, it was located at 666 Scenic Highway, on the east side of the curve at Cervantes Street in East Pensacola Heights.
Often referred to as "The Guns" or "The Gun", the venue was probably best known for hosting a different touring band every week and for it's "Nickel Beer" Monday night specials. Machinegun Kelly's also sold their own logoed t-shirts, and gave away logoed hurricane drinking glasses with the purchase of their famous Flaming Hurricane beverage. They also had their own mini-frisbees and matchbooks. Another plus was the large back terrace which provided a scenic view over Escambia Bay.
