6 Best Gastropubs in Jacksonville

“The service and the food was great!“

“Me and my wife are huge fans of barbecue. I had to come downtown to testify in a court case and came here. I was hesitant about their Pot Belly Grilled Cheese sandwich with pork shoulder and two different kinds of cheeses. What? How could you ruin barbecue pork with cheese? It was excellent! I was extremely impressed. They nailed the BBQ sauce. This is damn good barbecue🔥! And, great service to go along with it! Good job!“

“First time here and was blown away by the interior design. Feels like I was transported to an old Irish pub. Beautiful and rustic. Our fish & chips and roastbeef panini were delicious. Also huge serving sizes. Jimmy, one of the staff is cool and friendly. He even toured us around. This pub is highly recommended.“

“I am Linda Shilby and Diamond Dave’s wife and partner. We are honored to have started our very popular open mic at CULHANES Southside.
We have frequented CULHANES at the Beach since 2010, the fabulous Ruby Beach used to play there on Saturday nights. It was then we discovered the amazing Irish recipes that are mouthwatering! There are so many great dishes, all of the Irish dishes you would expect and then some, all with the. Culhane twist! There are also many fabulous offerings of American dishes, always with that little extra. Extra special drinks and beers, not to mention 5 Sisters Vodka they produce. This is a very special restaurant as they have recipes you will not find anywhere else. The daily specials and happy hour are worth coming in for!
The CULHANES sisters are amazing to work with. CULHANES Southside is a classy richly decorated venue with an incredible staff! Our open mic patrons are having a ball ! We play in the bar area and to the bar crowd and it is nice background for dining, not overbearing in the area. We want to Thank the Culhanes Sisters for the opportunity. We will enjoy this partnership for a very long time, if they will have us💜💫🎶🥳
Come in and see, taste, and hear for yourself!“

“We wanted burgers tonight and wanted to try somewhere new to us. We saw good reviews for Spliff’s, so that’s where we went! We have a 3 & 5 year old, I wasn’t sure how kid friendly it would be, but it was great! They have kids menus and crayons for them to color. They turned on a kids movie for them. I got the patty melt and my husband got a cheeseburger with bacon. My kids got a cheeseburger. It was all delicious and the fries were really good! The people are friendly. I would highly recommend!“
