“For legal and safety purposes, will be switching the format of my reviews. Sarcasm will be kept to a level suitable for all, including members of the military, law enforcement and our "justice system."This place is awesome ?Very Military and Veteran friendly.Sarcasm welcomed and encouraged.Plenty of entertainment for all branches of Service: (pool, darts, poker, lovely bartenders). Please note: Man Love Thursday is not strictly enforced here, but there are usually plenty of Marines and Sailors here, so who knows ?♂️ ???Plenty of alternative entertainment for cops, lawyers and judges: (crayons, sippy cups, urinal cakes, a black sheep, strong liquor and plenty of Michelob Ultra ?).The owner of this fine establishment is a gentleman and a scholar who introduced me to my new favorite drink , the Dr. Pepper shot!!! Thank you Desi, Kendra, and all the awesome folks at the Blacksheep Tavern for making this a safe place for sarcastic grumpy old Vets to unwind. “
“I was visiting from Florida with my boss this week. She recommended that we stop here. One word….Rusty. Rusty made our visit simply awesome. I love to talk and Rusty didn’t disappoint. She was so kind and friendly. My beer glass was never empty and we stayed until close because of her. She made our night. Thank you, Rusty, for an amazing time and they have a great employee in you. We will be back when we are in town again.“
“I was recommended to this place for a space to hold events for a few groups that I facilitate in the local area. Sarah, the woman who always help arrange these for me, is a DELIGHT! I enjoy coming to this lil' gem for my events and just to come in for a drink. They seem to have a list of great things/activities/events going on in case you need something fun and local to do. I would recommend this place for so many things!“
“Rena J's is a place you can go to relax, have fun, talk to old & new friends alike... Bartenders are Welcoming, Awesome, and easy to talk too. Amy, Kierra, Mel, & Sammie also Seth (They have lost a few good ones but) these are great! The new owners Sammie and Mike are really nice too. They have done alot to the place and it shows (it was nice before but they have turned it around.) They accept cards now for payment, have darts, pool tables, pool leagues, Kararoke and music bingo on Saturday nights which is always fun. This is like a "Down Home Cheers Bar" Love it, Thank You!!“
“Great food, very friendly atmosphere. Bartenders are always very tentative. Pool tables are well maintained and available for the most part. Tanya , Emma and Shanisty are my favorite. They always make sure my group and I are well taken care of.“
“Either you love it or it's just not your kinda place but we love this bar and it's full of kind patrons, cold drinks, perfect pours and quick service. They have a few events like pool tournaments, karaoke, bands etc. I've always left in a better mood than when I came in. Cheers! ?Parking: Parking in front and back, accessible by front or back doorWheelchair accessibility: Both entries are easily accessible ground level. Parking lot in the back is gravel but easy wheel through.“
“I used to frequent this place 40 years ago, when it was named Cheryl's, while stationed at Camp Geiger as a young Marine. I was in town visiting the Beirut Memorial with a couple of friends from back in the day. The place has changed significantly, all for the better, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip down memory lane. I look forward to returning next year.“
“My first time at Shirley's and definitely not my last. Great bar, great bartender Brandy. The owner Shirley is awesome. Oh yeah!! Glados is really beautiful ?Oldest and cleanest bar in Jacksonville. ???AAA+++Capt. Daniel MalavendaUSMC (Ret.)“
“Owners are very present and personable. They treat their patrons like family. Bar tenders are attentive and courteous. Drinks are inexpensive and there is always entertainment. Potluck, poker nights, karaoke, holiday parties… etc. This business is a great addition to Jacksonville.“
“The dancers are nice expect Emily, the bouncers power trip tho. Hailey was really nice super good at her job and really friendly, 1000 percent would recommend. I go to her every time, she’s also great to talk to. Especially the one with the slicked back hair. Nice place good drinks, could be alittle friendlier. Very easy to get banned.“
