The Grape & Grain Exchange

Absolutely love this place in San Marco. The bartenders actually care about what they’re making and pour with skill. Strong drinks, cool crowd, and great music in the back room. The setup is perfect whether you want to chill up front or kick back in the speakeasy-style lounge. Clean, stylish, and always a good time. Easily one of the best bars in Jacksonville and a must if you’re in the area.

Hands down my favorite spot in Jacksonville! The cocktails are creative and the food is delicious. Great for date night or catching up with friends. Highly recommend!

San Marco staple: they go all out at Christmas time. Non-Christmas, they have a large variety of liquor, wine and canned beverages to purchase. The vibe here is party. It’s loud dance music. There are tables outside which is great people watching and a little quieter if you’re looking for that. Adding pics from recent Christmas pop-up. Fantastic!

Super quaint little spot! Very busy with the locals. We did go on Cinco De Mayo so it may have been busier to my knowledge. I had a strawberry margarita, it was delicious. Craft cocktails so take a little longer to make than the average. They also have a beer fridge you can grab from which was nice. Did not try the food inside there was a food truck/tent outside I tried. That was amazing. Atmosphere was a little loud (again, it was Cinco) could be better on other nights.
