“Ok, it's mini-golf, let's not get carried away. No, let's definitely get carried away, it's MINI-GOLF! Nothing brings out the competitive nature of non-pro athletes the way this game does!1. The Course. One of the best layouts we have seen, for sure. This place is challenging and very well maintained. The taller carpet simulating rough is outstanding. 2. Accommodations. They have a dang bar. Who plays mini-golf and drinks? Well if it wasn't so cold I sure would have. 3. Service. Smiles greeted us, and the price was fair. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked.“
“Today was our 3rd weekend visit. The internet was glithcy and they where not seating, but they accommodated us because we where from Jacksonville. Food is always wonderful, service is great 3 different servers all great. Food is flavourful, love the carna asada , they do not have long Island ice tea on there menu, but they make it for me on every visit so far and there wonderful, for desert we get the Trace Leche cake , and it is just so heavenly to Myself and my wife . The last 2 times we came later at night around 9:15pm and we don't ever feel rushed to leave and are always treated well even while there closing up ..“
“We hosted our daughter’s birthday party here and the staff did an amazing job making sure all had a great time bowling. Special callout to Patrick who went above and beyond with our large group. Don’t miss this spot whether you’re visiting or your local….good times all around!“
“Had dinner here one evening on our vacation- got in quickly & our server was friendly. Strong food and beer selection. Overall, food was general beach bar fare: seafood, burgers, etc. My son did get the gator bites, but tasted more fried breading than meat. Great location on the marina- I could imagine there's a great happy hour or late night atmosphere.“
“This place has it all: Excellent food, relaxed friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. We’ve dined at several places on Amelia Island and felt either sick from cheap bar food or snubbed by pretentious places. Bar Zin left us full and happy. Menu choices; curry ceasar salad, shrimp and crab dip, chicken picada, scallops, snapper. Yum!“
“It is a great local sports bar style that offers tasty BBQ and several fish choices. There is ample room to relax and a total bar area to watch games.If you are in the area looking for tasty sports pub food, this is your go-to. Nestled between resorts. Locals, and Onward to Fernandina Beach. #904food“
“Service was pleasant and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their food selections. Irish Beef Stew was rich and hearty. The fish and chips were delicious and well portioned. The Reuben sandwich was piled high and very tasty. Nice selection of brews, not many but varied enough to make everyone happy. We were inside but there was a band playing outside. It looked like everyone on the patio were enjoying themselves go back again.“
“A very enjoyable dinner while staying in Amelia Island. Thr food was absolutely delicious. My husband and both orderd fish meals - of which 1 was sea scallops, they were perfectly cooked - not easy to do. Nick our server was super friendly and pleasant, helpful and attentive. Definitely want to try out this gem of an establishment!“

“I love this place! I look forward to every Saturday. The culture here is different... it's not people looking to get sloshed and hookup. People come here to genuinely have a good time and dance the night away. Mostly the 20-30s crowd but there are older folks that come and have a great time too. I love that Bethany teaches line dances the first couple hours. And I really do appreciate the rules- no drinks on the dance floor and if you're not dancing don't just stand around on the dance floor. Other places I've been it was a nasty hazard and nuisance. Here it's always clean - even the bathrooms. And no cover charge! And they have the best lemon drop shot I've ordered ? Overall a super fun place to spend your Saturday night. Family. ❤️“
“Fun experience. Just to sitting at a 120 year old bar was amazing by Florida standards. When we asked about certain mixed drinks our engaging bartender Johnny explained the difference between a saloon and a bar. Basically a Saloon doesn't have all the ingredients for fancy drinks. Hence we defaulted to a very well made old fashioned and, gin martini. We definitely look forward to returning!“

“Here's the thing. It's a true dive bar. Complete with friendly locals, good bartenders, inexpensive drinks, pool tables and games. The music from the jukebox was great. If you don't like dive bars stay away and don't post crappy reviews.“
“First time there. I ordered the filet special to go and was beyond delighted with the quality, freshness of the vegetables and flavoring on every item in the dinner. It was DELICIOUS! Far better than a few other places, in the same range of food type, locally. I could not recommend it more.“
“My friend and I were in town to visit the beach and wanted to hang out a bit. The DJ was playing a pop & hip hop mix. Cool vibe. Plenty of pool tables & long bar. We ordered Kettle 1 vodka's with cranberry. The bartender was nice & quickly made our drinks. We decided to sit outside to talk (because it was a bit quieter, and they had fire pits with seating on their patio). This is one of the only places that was open a little later in the evening, in the area. If we're ever in town again, I'd swing through“
“Went there for a few drinks and beers. I'm sure they whoop it up on St Paddy's Day, but this is an Irish bar in name and decor only. Good music, just none of it Irish. It's a lively place with great service. Jonathan and his brother were the servers and Jonathan was very friendly and attentive at our end of the bar. They don't serve food (a true Irish bar would have chips to buy), but there is Chinese or Mexican next door and you can eat at the bar. If they're not to busy, they'll even deliver it.Vegetarian options: 100% vegan, because they have no food.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.Parking: Park in front, or the general mall lot.“
“We finally tried out Mermaid Bar in the Florida Inn and it's such a great little chill spot to get excellent drinks! Significant other thought the old fashioned was really good and I loved the savage cocktail, it was excellent! Bartender knew what he was doing and was very nice! We will definitely make this a regular spot for great drinks!“
“J.J. made us a rum runner and a crabby apple drinks to start us off. He was amazing. This was our first time here and they set us up top at the window table. We had a gator po boy and a fried oyster platter which we loved. The fries, hush puppies, and Cole slaw were excellent too. J.J. also got us a key lime pie and creme Brule that was perfection. Please try the key lime pie they make everything from scratch J.J. told us. Loved this place and the service was excellent.“
“If we could give them a ten, we would. We had 8 people. We had pasta, steak, chicken tenders, and lobster. Everything was prepared perfectly. Definitely recommend eating here. We even had warm homemade bread brought out to start with. Everything was great.Kid-friendliness: They have a separate section on menu for kids.“
“honestly hands down the best smash burger I've ever had. wings and truffle fries were excellent, and I've really enjoyed their pizza too.very low key, the seating and aesthetics could be improved a bit for comfort.not a problem though. the service was great, and like I said the wings and burgers there are incredible.they also have a great beer selection. I love going there when I visit family in the area“
