With uncertainty looming on the horizon for all of the businesses in our community, we deemed this the best decision. We hope to be back serving your favorite drinks and food soon!”

  1. I miss that place in Destin & that building. Thanks to Covid it’s gone.. But it’s not forgotten❣️ Hate the traffic in Destin now too. The small harbor town has been ruined thanks to the “higher ups” & real estate developers that was all about the money. Hope to see Hog’s Breath back again in Ft Walton, Destin, Niceville or even Crestview one day soon. You would also grow & do good adding one later in Foley or Orange Beach, Ala & near the Birmingham, Ala area. With this name u can grow again I hope.
