"5eleven is a historic building located in the heart of Downtown Pensacola. The original building was built in 1896 and rented to numerous businesses until the 1950s. One of the most significant tenants in the early 1900s was Samuel Charles, one of Pensacola's most prominent black businessmen, whose shoe repair shop became Pensacola's largest shoe repair and sales store at that time. In the 1920s the building was occupied by Birgar Testman's ship chandlery. Since the early 1950s the building was owned by Trader Jon's, a favorite haunt of U.S. Navy and other military personnel. The tavern has gained international acclaim for its unusual and extensive display of military memorabilia which surrounds the clientele.

In 2007, 5eleven was established as a wedding and event venue and began a new legacy in this historic piece of architecture. The reputation of 5eleven has continued to grow with many awards in local wedding categories, and named a top venue in Florida by The Knot"
