The owner, Aaron, is a blast! Not to mention, he works 8 days a week and 32 hours a day! He's busting his a$$ to make that place a staple in Jacksonville! Great place, prices, atmosphere, and lots of laughs!

I found this gem through the 2023 Pub Pass in October 2023. I love the selection of 32 craft beers, which include 12 from Florida. And the selections change and rotate, which has been amazing! There is something for everyone. Not sure what to choose? No problem. They sell flights of beer or mimosas. Don't have time to stay, not a problem. You can purchase from their cold case or my preference is ordering a 32 oz. crowler of one of the tap beers and taking it home. They are working out the food issue and allow you to bring in food from the 6+ different restaurants in the plaza. But what I love about them the most is their sense of community and wanting to help people. They opened on Christmas 2023 and people brought a dish or snack to pass. It was amazing to see people who admitted to being alone, gather over fabulous food, and to meet new friends. That alone should convince you to try them out. You won't be disappointed. Gail and Aarron will take good care of you!

Used to come here for the great craft beer selection and the friendly bartending staff. Now under new ownership I'm seeing Bud & Miller Lite and Mich Ultra on a craft beer menu? And it seems to have taken on an Eagles theme. I'm not going to hang out at a place with the worst fans of any NFL team. Don't believe me? Look it up. ...

Had an awesome time at Jax Craft Beer tonight! My husband and I stopped in trying to make the most of our Pub Pass before the end of the year and stayed a LOT longer than we expected....Gail was bartending and served some yummy libations. She is a rare find--a genuine person who isn't afraid to share real stories. We met lovely people, enjoyed some interesting original music and just had an all-around good time.
Great service! Owner seems very cool! Happy to find this place.

I love this place and it's even a much more better experience with the new ownership. The staff is an absolute pleasure. The atmosphere is what a neighborhood bar should feel like. The beer is always cold and my wife loves the wine that is offered.l, these gents really know what they are doing. This is a true gem in the Mandarin area.
