29 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 wholeheartedly appreciate the efforts for inclusion of all patrons. The addition of motion sensing doors really speaks to their high level of commitment and caring nature.

Truly......THE five-star dive bar!! ❤️ ? ? ? ? ?“

“Per usual, the service was excellent, the food and wine selection excellent. Pastas are house made and wonderful. We both had fish, salmon and the special which was cobia - both cooked to perfection. Excellent choices for wine by the glass and a noticeably pleasant low noise factor in the main dining room. We avoided the bar area on purpose due to the musical duo in there during the week (one wonders who wants a pair of mediocre musicians yowling in their ear while they eat, but apparently some don't mind). Anyway, our experience was great and we will be return.“

“Stopped in one of my all time favorite craft beer and package stores anywhere!!. They've added some games and a nice sitting area since Ive been in, really nice touches. The craft draft beer selection is varied from sours, lagers, IPAs and dark beer and I like a taste of everything!!! So I do!! Pictures to show. I picked up some of my favorite 450 North Brewing and Woven Waters beers. Britany was our server that day and did an outstanding job. I left feeling satisfied and happy. Thank you Britany and 9 zero pour!!“

“Great Vibe with great beer options.“

“not too many places I can find Smithwicks. Surprised how good the food was, and great service“

“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.“

“It was a bit slow, especially for New Year's Eve. I actually walked in about 3 seconds after midnight, but the bartender still ran to the door and hugged and kissed me on the cheek! I love that it's close enough to walk to and stagger home from!“

“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.“

“Everyone loves you there!!“

“Came here with our pup, and we had a great time. Delicious food, a great selection of brews, and the waitress and partner was both very friendly. I even loved the hops-shaped lighting and the Airstream bar upstairs, where you can also view the beach.

Parking: Large parking lot across the street, which appears to be free except on weekends and special events. There are also a few spaces along the street.“

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

“This place has an awesome vibe if you're looking for fun!! We heard about the steak special they have on Fridays so my partner wanted to try it. We arrived and the place was packed! We had to walk around to find a table. Once seated, our drink orders were taken, then Marissa, a knowledgeable waitress, took our orders. She suggested boom boom shrimp as an appetizer. Great choice!! I ordered the mahi fish sandwich with the soup of the day (red pepper and Gouda cheese) and my partner, steak, loaded mash and a salad. My drink: Rum Runner ? The food was okay. My mahi was a bit dry. To be fair, it came with tartar sauce which I don't like so the discontentment was my fault. The drinks: definitely strong enough to do the job. But the highlight of my night was meeting the manager, Kelly, when she came to our table, and the live music entertainment!!! Honestly, this review is less about food and about the wonderful connection I had with Kelly (pictured). Go in and ask for her...and tell her you saw her in a review. ? You will see why. Great staff? I plan on going back before I leave the area.

Parking: Parking is challenging. We walked from the hotel“

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

“Great service! Nice atmosphere“

“Honestly I love this place, atmosphere, service and food were awesome ♥️“

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

“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.“

“Great camaraderie!! Great bartenders! Nice and friendly people!!“

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