$6M fun center set for Navy Blvd.

Gregory and Rebecca Drake have big plans for their new business coming to West Navy Boulevard next summer .

The couple and current owners of Paisano's Pizzeria have spent the last six years designing a 61,000 square foot complex entitled Xtreme Rush, which will include a micro brewery, go-kart track, trampoline jump, and bowling alley.

The entire project is estimated to cost $6 million dollars.

"We're trying to bring more activity-based entertainment to the area," Gregory said." We want to capture the kids and families during the day, past 9 or 10 p.m. the adults that are looking for entertainment, and then after midnight get in the people in the restaurant industry who are getting off work and still wanting to do something."

Xtreme Rush will be open 11 a.m.to 2 a.m., seven days a week.

"We wanted to do something different for Pensacola," Rebecca said. "Something the town could embrace, something strong for Pensacola."

Construction will begin in December, and the bowling alley, micro-brewery and sports bar entitled The O Club (short for Officer's Club) will be the first on the list to complete.

"The bowling alley will have exposed brick walls, like an old pub-style look, with specialty bowling balls and the micro-brews on tap," Gregory said. "The stills from the micro-brewery will be visible above the lanes, alongside full-size TVs throughout the alley."

Gregory said the brewery itself will offer eight staple beers, with 16 seasonal beers that will rotate throughout the year.

"We'll also have competitions for people to make their own beer, and offer the winners year round," he said.

The 1,600 linear foot go-kart track will run partially underground and be made to look like the city streets of New York.

"It's going to be set up like a video game of street racing, over three stories," Gregory said.

Gregory and Rebecca have five children whose ages range from 16 years old to newborn, and the idea for Xtreme Rush came from their struggle to enjoy entire activities together as a family.

"When our kids got older, we would go out somewhere and the little ones would be bored and want to leave," Rebecca said."We wanted to build a concept where everyone would be entertained, and the whole family can be together under one roof, that is not affected by the weather."

The complex also will feature a dedicated "quiet room" for parents, equipped with wifi, televisions, and video cameras of the children's play areas.

Nine foot mascots for Xtreme Rush are also in early production stages, and will be revealed on the opening day in the summer of 2016.

The completed project will seat over 460 individuals and employ between 190 to 220 people.

"It's going to bring in so many different job opportunities," Rebecca said. "It could really help the Navy Boulevard area grow."
