Seville Quarter - Pensacola, Florida
Seville Quarter began as the dream of Bob Snow, who was a virtuoso
trumpet player, Dixieland band leader, naturally gifted designer, builder
and energetic entrepreneur. Snow fell in love with Pensacola while in
Navy Flight training.
Starting with $1,100, his horn and his heart, Snow started Rosie O’Grady’s in the old
Pensacola Cigar & Tobacco Company warehouse on Government Street. Opening night
was August 11, 1967. Lili Marlene’s was added next, followed by the other beautiful and
distinctive attractions which now make up Pensacola’s premier entertainment and
dining complex, Seville Quarter.
Wilmer Mitchell was Bob Snow’s attorney who participated with Snow in building
Seville Quarter over the years and took over operations in 1988. The Mitchell family remains
dedicated to carrying on the tradition Bob Snow started.
Seville Quarter is one of the longest-running entertainment complexes in the entire country and is
still drawing huge crowds over 45 years later.
