723 Whiskey Bravo: Cool, Casual, Coastal b y Tr a c e y M . H aw k i n s
C ommunity and family are important to Victoria and Skip Moore. This is evident when you walk into 723 Whiskey Bravo, their labor-of-love restaurant and rooftop bar in Seagrove Beach, which opened in 2012. Named after the tail number on their Cirrus SR22 plane, (that number itself a combination of their July 23 wedding anniversary and their favorite letters from the aviation alphabet), 723 Whiskey Bravo’s story is personal and romantic. When Skip and Victoria came across the seaside property on a beach run one morning, they knew instantly that it was just the perfect spot for which they had been searching, and purchased it within three weeks. In addition to the restaurant, the property, which Skip and Victoria call the “Whiskey Bravo Campus”, also features the boutique Shops of Old Seagrove, converted from the beautiful, little, historic cottages they preserved from the original property. From the uniqueness of the elliptical mahogany bar, built by custom millwork company E F San Juan to evoke the shape of a Chris Craft boat, to the personal sports memorabilia and big-screen TVs projecting all of your favorite sports games, to the glorious sunset views from the rooftop bar named after their favorite musical artist James Taylor’s song The Roof, this cool, casual, and coastal local hot spot offers something for everyone who enters through the inviting portal. The Moores have beautifully incorporated many aspects of local community, including a vibrant mural of a plane painted by local artist Andy Saczynski on one wall of the rooftop patio where local patrons and out-of-town guests alike gather around the cozy bonfire pits. Featuring a diverse menu, 723 Whiskey Bravo’s delicious cuisine offers something for every taste palate as well. Among many other delectable choices, the menu boasts steaks cooked to perfection, fresh, local seafood, burgers and wings for game day or anytime, and the restaurant’s signature Fried Mac and Cheese Sticks. Perfect for casual dining or special occasions, the food at 723 Whiskey Bravo is cause enough for celebration. This 4,500 square foot establishment is the ideal location for event hosting. Celebrities have sought the warmth and welcome of 723 Whiskey Bravo. For example, Luke Bryant’s wife once hosted his birthday party here, and professional baseball player David Ross (former catcher for the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs) hosted a special event here as well. Skip and Victoria are actively involved in a number of charities and they are proud of the fundraisers the res- taurant has hosted and the work they have contributed.

The Moores have flown mis- sions for Angel Flight and have hosted a fundraiser for the charity at the restaurant. Angel Flight was created by pilots who believe in the importance and benefits of volunteering. It is a non- profit organization that ar- ranges free transportation for legitimate, charitable, medi- cally-related needs and treat- ments. Another fundraising event at 723 Whiskey Bravo raised half-a-million dollars for the Gary Sinise Founda- tion. Founded by the actor Gary Sinise, the foundation is a public charity serving and honoring American military service members, veter- ans, first responders, and their families. Most recently, Victoria, Skip, and their 723 Whiskey Bravo family and friends have raised over $50,000 for the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center (ECCAC). ECCAC strives to help children in Okaloosa and Walton counties who have suffered abuse and/or neglect, to raise awareness about the subject, and to protect against and prevent future child abuse. Skip and Victoria met Julie Hurst-Porterfield, the CEO of ECCAC, at a fundraising event for the charity and knew immediately that they wanted to become involved. The Moores came up with the idea of creating a stuffed- animal likeness of Riley: an adorable, 12-year old Maltese Firepit gathering space

who serves as one of the beloved therapy dogs working with and comforting the children at ECCAC, to offer their restaurant patrons. Now, when you dine at 723 Whiskey Bravo, you will be greeted by this stuffed-animal version of Riley on your table. For a donation of $20 or more, you can then take the little stuffed dog home with you and know that you have contributed to the life of a child whose recovery is being served by ECCAC. 723 Whiskey Bravo is located at 3031 E.
