Hammerhead Beach Bar

Best bar in Fernandina Beach! The bartender is a sweetheart, and the atmosphere is amazing. I always make time to go down and shoot a few games of pool, sing some karaoke, or dance to the live DJ when I'm in town.

Great little local dive bar, typically best on the weekends

Like the hammerhead shark it's named after, this beach bar will provide a fiesty atmosphere, a few drinks that bite, and perhaps leave you looking slightly sideways. As you enter, you'll see the bar to your left, multiple billiard tables throughout, and a few games to your far right. There's also an outdoor dining area that I didn't explore much. I stumbled in here with a few friends, both old and new, looking to enjoy a few brews and lose a few rounds of billiards. Mission accomplished. The tables are in good condition, with enough sticks and balls for multiple people to take turns playing (that's what she said). Towards the back you'll see a few more party games, including darts, which is more fun to play when you're plastered since your life is on the line. In between scratching and taking selfies there was buckets of seemingly endless beer to enjoy, mostly the all-american classic, Corona. Some time before we (physically) left there was shots of Jameson and Jager at the bar. Mentally, I had checked out earlier after the fourth bucket of beer. Speaking of which the servers were very attentive and friendly, making sure the well of alcohol did not runneth dry. If you're looking to recover from your hangover, this place is a great option. It'll help you feel like a local... slightly drunk and still can't find your keys.

Great dive atmosphere. Had a great time shooting darts. Only downside was the staff deciding to change classic country music to foul mouth rap for their own listening pleasure and filling the song queue so it couldn't be changed. Weird way to keep folks in the bar, but maybe they really hated country music.
