Bold City Brewery
Mother-and-son founded, and still the brewery most Jacksonville drinkers name first. The Rosselle Street taproom is the original room, on a Riverside industrial block rather than a retail strip.
Bars Jax: Riverside
Historic homes, the Cummer gardens, and the Riverside Arts Market under the Fuller Warren Bridge. Dense with independent kitchens and the city's oldest bar rooms.
European Street Cafe Riverside
The Riverside room of a Jacksonville family-owned group that has been here for more than 40 years. On Mondays, children age 12 and younger get a free meal and juice box with a regular adult entree and beverage at all three locations.
Kickbacks Gastropub
A King Street gastropub in Riverside since 2005, with 204 beers on tap, a Belgian-style basement bar and a steampunk dining room. Its own About page counts 20 TVs, and the events page lists magic nights and a late-night lounge.
