The Naval Aviation Museum and
Seville Quarter are good stops.
It'll take most all of a day to see the museum (its free), and Seville Quarter has several restaurants and bars all in one long building. I highly recommend both. When the Blue Angels are in town, they practice behind the museum and there are bleachers for visitors to watch.
I was stationed in Pensacola from '69 to '71. The museum was a small building behind the Enlisted Men's Club back then. The guy that owns Seville Quarter started "Rosie O'Grady's Warehouse" in downtown Pensacola. He was a navy pilot that got caught in the downsizing and turned an empty warehouse downtown into "Rosie O'Gradys". They served pitchers of beer and baskets of peanuts in the shell and had a dixieland band that played. Just one big party every night. If you didn't throw the shells on the floor, the waiters would do it for you.
Check the above links.
On Edit: I forgot to mention - no firearms on the base. The gate guard will hold them for you while you're there.
