We came by on Sunday post the morning rush, the music was still going but also seemed like most of the staff was finally getting to take a break. Started with the breakfast Bloody Mary, the toppings are an appetizer in itself. We ordered the shrimp toast as an appetizer, it came out at the same time as our meal so spacing could have been better. Overall we had a nice experience here and we would go back again.

It pains me a little to rate 1937 three stars. Ambiance is 5 stars, service 3 stars, food 2 stars. This is my third time visiting 1937, second time ordering food, and I actually did not order any alcoholic drinks this visit. I photographed my friends drink which was very pretty and delicious. The plan was to celebrate my belated bday here with girlfriends, and an upcoming friends bday. We planned in advance to get drinks at Gemma down the street first, then head here for dinner - which is what we did. We had a very nice server the whole experience, but; she kept forgetting about us. We sat and sat both when she had another large table, and when there were no other tables. She did mention on one occasion she did apologize for us waiting when she had a large table. But then the rest of the meal, she still forgot about us even after acknowledging, and after her large table was gone which was before all of our entrees came out. 1937 was dead on a Saturday night. I wish this wasn't true because this place has so much potential; I want to see it stay and thrive but the service and food just doesn't match how much effort went into this place to make it so inviting and fun. Our appetizers and desserts did not taste made fresh in house. I actually took two bites of those pretzel bites, and did not want anymore. Which is unusual bc normally, a pretzel of some sort would be my first choice. My burger had hard bits of charred grit from the grill throughout the whole burger. (Did not photograph since again, this was a fun meet up with friends focusing on engaging with them & not critiquing food) When glancing at my friends burger, her's looked like it was okay and char free. I did not say anything about the burger because at this point, in my opinion it was moot. After the so so appetizers, I specifically ordered what I thought would be an easy item that would be fail proof. A burger was not the best choice I guess. I thought the funnel cake would kinda save the day but it came out with hardly any powdered sugar on top at all - which in my opinion, is kinda the main point of the funnel cake. Without it, it's just fried dough. When I asked the server for more powdered sugar, I was given the smallest, not even one ounce serving to put on top of the funnel cake. I took a picture for reference. From apps to entrees to dessert, I was turned off. I had a friend order a piece of pie - without even giving my opinion on the food what so ever, she said it was giving publix's frozen pie brand - Edward's. I feel like little to no food is made in house here and you are just paying for overpriced things you could easily get yourself at the local grocery store, and make quickly at home. And this is not me trying to come for 1937 at all. This is my genuine, honest constructive criticism after spending money here 3 different occasions through out 2023 and 2024. I hope they can make a few adjustments and stay. If you are coming here for drinks and ambiance , you won't be disappointed.

Ok so I truly loved my food & drink here, but the place was empty :-( Visited a saturday in november around 4p and I was nervous it would be slammed due to football. That was not the case. I'm really hoping it was an off night. Because my drinks and food were sooooo good and I really like the Interior decor. I chose the blood orange marg, and it is now one of my fav margs in town. It was smooth, well balanced, a bit light, and just so tasty. When I crushed it and complimented the bartender she was flattered because it was one of her signature drinks! She said all the bartenders contributed to the menu- I love that! I also love loved the creole shrimp toast- it's an app, but almost enough food as a meal. The shrimp are seasoned and then covered in a slightly spicy creamy creole sauce- yum yum yum! I'm honestly writing this review today cuz i'm craving that app. For sure hope to go back soon!

I came here for a private event and had a great time. The food served was really tasty and the bartenders were hard at work. I returned here on a Saturday evening for an espresso martini, it was sooo tasty. One of my favorites I've had out in Jacksonville. Sarah the bartender is the best and always makes good drinks. I will be coming back here for dinner. The only problem is the parking lot, it is very small and can fill up quickly.

Wednesday night is definitely a great night for specials. Went there with a group of friends for the .25 cent shrimps and $2 PBR beer. Was blown away by the nicely sized shrimp that comes in 3 different varieties. Grilled, blackened, and peel em. They all were amazingly delicious. Each came with cocktail sauce , melted butter and tartar sauce. Service was great, did have to check my bill as they accidentally charged me for 12 shrimps which I did not order. The cider beer was ok. It did have a strong taste of apple cider vinegar which I don't typically like. I'm more of a crisp cider drinker. Great atmosphere and outside area for gatherings and games.

Great place to have a good cocktail or a glass of wine. The espresso martini was one of the best I have ever had. Sarah the bartender was very friendly and made us all great drinks. Haven't tried the food yet but will certainly be back again for dinner.

Surprisingly spacious interior & high ceilings, the artsy decor really gives this place a personality & nice vibe. The bar takes center stage and it's surrounded by a mix of high-top tables. My other half actually suggested this place for dinner because he remembered me showing him pictures of their outdoor area from my first visit. The outdoor patio has a few tables if you're eating as well as Adirondack chairs & lawn games if you're just hanging out & enjoying a few drinks. I've been here twice and an absolute fav from the first visit was the shrimp toast appetizer. The fried oyster entree was also pretty good especially since it comes with a choice of two sides. My friend really liked her grouper BLT from my first visit so I also tried it this time around (only downside is that it came with 1 side). It's a bit pricey for a fish sandwich at $20 but at least it was a nicely sized filet & included a generous amount of bacon! Last time I visited, I opted the poke salad since I wanted something lighter. I would order all of the above again. Our server today was great. I just wish I remembered her name to call her out. Friendly, engaging, attentive and provided good drink recommendations (we originally picked a Neptune & she had a recommendation for the same drink with something else added or substituted that took it up a notch). I don't remember all the details but it was deliciousness in a glass. It wasn't super busy for a Saturday evening which worked out well because that translated to no wait for a party of 8 but I do hope they last. Maybe they get busier later in the evening? TIP: They are hosting a 1 year anniversary event April 2. $80 for a 5 Course Prefix Menu & live entertainment. 1930's Dress Code is suggested!

I ordered online to pick up lunch today, but I decided to dine in instead. I sat at the bar.i ordered a blackened chicken sandwich that was so delicious and swamp slaw. The slaw had blue cheese on top. I removed most of it. I failed to read the description, my bad. My office is having our lunch catered to or office next Thursday. My boss asked for recommendations, so I recommended 1937! They all liked that idea and the menu! YES! I talked with the manger today about the lunch. She said she would take care of us. Kudos! Pros:great location(Kings Ave-San Marco). Parking-good Service-great Food-great! Atmosphere:great-indoor and outdoor dining Cons:NONE RECOMMEND? Absolutely

I have really enjoyed this hip new spot! It's kinda set back off a main road, but it's nice and quiet in the area. probably one of my favorite things is their back patio, it's so nice to relax out there and weather this time of year is great! Now to the food and drinks, Love the drinks!! Creative and tasty! Now to the food, I've had things I really liked, and things that I thought were just ok, a few stand out yummies were the Hush puppies and burger! Sometimes they have DJs and late night parties too!

Met some friends to celebrate my birthday. It was Sunday so we purposely changed se a time after brunch. Timing was great as the large crowds were quickly thinning. Upon arrival we were a bit confused as we had always ordered at the kiosk and then were whisked away to our table. We tried ordering but were ignored as the kiosk worker was busy closing tabs. Odd as to my previous experience. She finished dropped the tabs and then ordered us to follow her. We were seated and greeted by a server. Hum again different from my 1/2 dozen trips but ok. Drink orders made and then we were greeted by yet another server who wanted to take our drink orders. Drinks delivered and server #2 was on top of us to place an order. She asked again and in the 3rd time we placed app order and late lunch order. By then it was time for round 2 on drinks. Drinks were delivered and we were having a glorious time laughing and catching up. GM Fawn stopped by. Our fish dip was delivered seconds later Calamari. No appetizer plates had to ask twice. While waiting for app plates someone delivered 2 cha sandwiches ordered by my friends. The entree fish came 8-10 minutes later. Our table was full of uneaten appetizers and entrees which we were balancing around. As the afternoon went out it became very apparent that our server was ready to leave. We asked for plates to serve the homemade pie my friend had brought. 2 request and pie was served. Tabs dropped. Immediately gathered and dropped for signing and the gathered from our table as we were enjoying our cocktails. Not the service I had come to love. I want to be perfectly clear the food was yummy and the cocktails exceptional. The execution by our server was less than desirable and if I had let it would have ruined my Birthday. We took our yearning for our last celebration drink down the street! Please teach your servers how to properly execute a meal with appetizers. Not an issue I have ever experienced before at 1937. Your servers have always been so hospitable, courteous and fun! Unfortunately not my experience this visit!

Next time I was there they now have table service at night. YES! our waitress was new but she did agreat job. Started off with a beer and calamari for a starter. I had brine grilled chicken with corn as a side. Anna had the spicy chicken sandwich with curly fries. Both are fantastic. This place is nice. Great full service bar. Different seating areas inside and out. Off the beaten path but very nice.

I just so happened to have stopped in for lunch after a stressful morning. The bartender was amazing and the customer service just as amazing. The ambiance was fine. I wouldn't call it instagramable but in my opinion that's a good thing. I'm tired of aesthetics and then the food leaves so much to be desired. Here you have a clean restaurant with great service and great food. I definitely had a great lunch and it helped ease the stress of the day!

The first thing all of my friends said was, wow it's so nice not having to look for parking! Next was dang this place looks totally different! (In a good way) but same biscuits?! Okay. Gotta get one of those. Just loving the whole vibe of the interior. Food was amazing -breakfast bowl & espresso martini from the brunch menu (weekend) was on point. One complaint was when we showed up, it was almost empty and we still had to wait a while to be seated so the servers could get caught up. Our server was hilarious. Would love to have an event here in the future. I'm not sure how well they would do with a bigger group but there's lots of space!
