25 Best Bars near Neptune Beach

“Jax Surf and Paddle is a bright spot at the town center. Inside you’ll find a cute little coffee bar with some adult drinks as well. Grab a mimosa and bring the good vibes. They have some stylish clothing and all your surf / beach needs covered. Go Tiffany!“

“Laurel was awesome !!“

“I did not have food, but this place being around since 1933 has some history. Even has a spot where Hemingway took a piss. Old liquor bottles, photos, firefighter helmets, bar signs, etc. A must visit for those looking for a dark old-style place to grab a drink. Do NOT modernize as it would ruin the atmosphere. Prices were a bit high, so maybe offer some specials.“

“Our First time at Mezza Luna…. Wow! Amazing Food, great wine list and our server Kasey was fantastic! My wife had the Ciopino which she said was delicious. I had the parardelle which was out of this world! Our Uncle Paul is a regular here, he had the Pizza with Sausage & Mushrooms. Kacey was spot on with the dessert recommendation: Bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce and ice cream! Best I’ve ever had! We will be back!!!! Five Stars!!!!!!“

“Checked this place out on a Sunday day there was a great island band playing. Good food and drinks . Best steak tacos ever. Very friendly and helpful staff !“

“I always come here to see and be seen! The drinks are expertly crafted. Why not? Very cool 😎 place. Small tasting menu rocks.“

“Excellent food, excellent service from Omar, fun atmosphere. A must try!“

“In August we needed a place to celebrate our Daughters 21st birthday with about 28 close family and friends. We contacted several places in the Beaches area and Lynch’s was by far the easiest to work with and the most responsive establishment. We preselected appetizers for the event and then we had the private back bar where our family and friends could mingle with one another, and order food and drinks as they wanted. Our server was amazing at handling so many of us, we could not have asked for anything to go smoother, everything was 10 out of 10.“

“Trasca & Company is one of my go-to spots in Ponte Vedra. The pizza is always excellent, and their house-made ranch is so good they bottle it—I pick one up every other week. The cashier, Cleary, always jokes about whether I need a straw with it, and honestly, she’s not wrong. I also love grabbing the to-go tarragon chicken salad and their energy balls both are consistently fresh and tasty.

Sometimes we stick around to eat when they have live music, and I’m always impressed by the one-man bands they bring in. The inside has a fun, casual vibe with board games you can grab for the table, and the Tap Room bar feels clean and beachy. The outside seating is just as nice—laid back and welcoming.

Whether you’re dining in or just grabbing food to go, it’s always fast, friendly, and delicious. Highly recommend stopping by whenever you’re in the area.“

“If you love secrets and Tiki, this is the place for you. Phenomenal drinks that are expertly crafted. They partner with the pizza joint next door, so you can order food, and they will bring it right to your table. Amazing food and even better cocktails. Very friendly staff as well.“

“I always have an amazing time!“

“This is a very popular restaurant and bar in Jacksonville Beach offering California inspired foods and wines from Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The ambiance is beachy and classy. Beautiful decor with great subdued lighting. I loved it. The darker woods with very comfortable booths were just what I like.

Our server was Brandon, who was a delight with lots of great tips about the area as well as delicious items and wines on the menu. He was awesome, attentive with a good sense of humor.

I ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs with shoestring fries. The ribs were delicious and spicy but I didn't care to have so much sauce poured over the fries. Less is more in this instance. A mix of flavors would be better.

My daughter ordered the Thai Coconut Curry Grill with center cut sirloin. She liked her meal just as it was.

For dessert, we shared the Bread Pudding. It was very good.

We had a lot of fun there, thanks to Brandon's outgoing personality! Parking was free just outside the restaurant. We definitely would return again.“

“Food and Veronica, our server, were amazing! Great live music with 4 Play!“

“Great spot for both on-tap brews and bottles. Combo package store if you want to grab a six pack to go. Has a great rotating selection of beer. They recently got rid of their board games that they had for customers to play, which is the only (small) negative. Great beer, dog friendly, and they even have a military discount. And you can even spot local politicians / local celebrities in here having a brew occasionally!“

“Great Vibe with great beer options.“

“I Love This Bar!!! ! Best Bartenders hands down!! When you walk in the door Deb ,Tracey, and Amy are always there to greet you with a warm welcoming smile , always making you feel right at home where You're treated like family. A place you can kick back , relax and have a Great time!!“

“Excellent venue to hang with locals. Great service and local live music!“

“Solid BBQ with a very nice bar. Can be a little loud, but also is cozy. Friendly staff and great service.“

“I cannot say enough good things about our waitress, Hunter! From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, outgoing, and genuinely friendly—one of those people who makes you feel like you’re in great hands.

What stood out most was how professional and quick she was when a man nearby was making me uncomfortable. Without hesitation, Hunter handled the situation gracefully and made sure I felt safe. That kind of care and awareness goes far beyond what you’d expect at a restaurant, and it made the entire experience so much better.

On top of that, she never missed a beat with our table. Drinks were always refilled, food came out quickly, and she checked in often without being overbearing. Hunter truly made the night enjoyable, and I’d come back just for her service alone.

If you’re lucky enough to get Hunter as your waitress, you’re in for an amazing experience.“

“Everyone loves you there!!“

“Such a cute place we love it, only few steps from my home too“

“Great group of people! Our acoustic group, Atomic Bacon has played there several times and we are booked for Saturday, January 15, 2022! Everyone is so nice and is a fun place to meet with friends and you're guaranteed a super time! Don't even have to be a member to enjoy great drinks, fun folks and a great time! Come join us on Saturday, January 15th (or earlier) and Party with us!!“

“Very beach feel, super clean and safe! Lots of options and reasonable prices. Maybe best of all, the quality is great! Great! Great! One of my favorite places to go no matter what I’m looking for. It’s truly the place you should go when you want a nice evening out.“

“Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs. Just a great local bar. Darts, video golf and games. Did I mention the Rocket Bombs!“

“Relaxing and peaceful views here! When I come here, I only dine outside in the back facing the ocean. Personally, I enjoy coming here during the week (during the week they’re only open Wednesday through Friday 7am to 11am) because it’s typically never crowded and I enjoy the peace and tranquility that come with the amazing views and ocean breeze. The menu items are very good quality and reasonably priced. My only reason for docking a star on my review is because they’re booked quite frequently (usually majority of the restaurant is reserved), service is not the fastest (however, the managing owner Carol is kind and amiable), and on numerous occasions they don’t answer the phone so it’s difficult to plan breakfast or brunch when they don’t answer the phone and on several occasions, I’ve had to be turned away on a empty hungry stomach which isn’t a good feeling. Otherwise, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you have the opportunity. My personal recommendations are the mimosas (get the bottomless jug) and the blue crabomelette.“
