Jacksonville Bars and Breweries: Where to Start

Choose the room first: a brewery, a real cocktail bar, a neighborhood dive, a rooftop, or a drink beside the ocean.

Start with the room you want, not a giant list of bar names. You can get a quick match now, compare four local brewery rooms, choose between downtown cocktail bars, or find two places where the view is part of the night.

Bold City is the original Rosselle Street brewery room. Aardwolf pours in a restored San Marco ice plant. Strings Springfield and Strings Jax Beach add a scratch kitchen, games, and basketball.

For cocktails downtown, Dos Gatos is across from the Florida Theatre and The Volstead is the quieter whiskey room on Adams Street. For a real neighborhood dive, Shantytown Pub belongs to Springfield and Pete's Bar belongs to Neptune Beach. The Lemon Bar is the one on the ocean.
