Stay tuned, as always, there is more news to follow.
NEW RESTAURANT IN CRESTVIEW
Johnny O’Quigley’s to open in Crestview
Will be ‘prototype for north Florida’

CRESTVIEW — A Johnny O’Quigley’s Ale House under construction in north Crestview is slated to open at the beginning of May. “It’ll be nice to have something new that isn’t fast food,” said Tracy McGann, an employee at Robert L.F. Sikes Public Library. “Anytime you don’t have to drive all the way to Fort Walton or Destin is good.” The restaurant, which bears the name of owner Johnny O’Quigley, will be at the corner of Industrial Drive and Richbourg Lane. “We’re putting a lot of energy into it,” O’Quigley said. “It’s our prototype store for north Florida.” Having operated restaurants in the Midwest and south Florida, O’Quigley operates one of his signature restaurants in Destin and said he was contemplating opening others next in Panama City and Pensacola. “We chose Crestview first,” O’Quigley said. “We just felt Crestview is the right place in north Florida. It’s an up and coming area.” Though his Destin restaurant’s clientele includes snowbirds and tourists, O’Quigley said his Crestview location will be popular primarily with area families and sports fans. He is planning a new design for Crestview that will accommodate both, he said. “We’ll have two different sections,” O’Quigley said. “One side is very family-oriented. The other side will be sports-friendly. The dining side will be completely isolated from the sports side. It’s truly going to be an establishment for the family. We’re family friends forever.” Full meals will be available during the restaurant’s daily 11 a.m. to midnight opening hours, O’Quigley said. His chef, Crestview resident Will Jeffries, not only developed the menu, but helped identify the site for the new restaurant. “We chose the north end of the city to take the pressure off the south end,” O’Quigley said, adding he was attracted by the proximity of the new Marquis Cinema, the Twin Creeks Crossing shopping center under development adjacent to the cinema, and the indications of expanded growth in north Crestview. “We’re excited to be up there,” he said. “Everyone that will be employed in that location will be from the Crestview area.” Crestview resident Annie Whitmore likes the location. “The less we have to trek south, the better,” Whitmore said.
