The Shirley Temple was honestly the best one I've ever had. All of the food was super fresh. The restaurant was clean and the art on the walls was really beautiful. They even have a back patio that you can lounge & drink on. I'm sure this place is super lively on the weekends when it's full. We came in at an awkward time, it was about 2:30 on a Monday, but we still received excellent service from all three bartenders that helped us (shift change)! I would highly recommend this place to a friend and I'll definitely be swinging back by when I'm on that side of town!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Shana J.

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!

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!

Rick P.

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.

Relatively new and looks to be a converted garage/shop type restaurant. I really appreciated all the handpainted artwork on almost every wall. It was decorated beautifully with pops of golds, statement pieces, lots of color and some greenery. Kind of an "old Hollywood" feel. Service was a bit lacking at first, however once we put in our appetizer and entree order all at once, they started rolling out really quick, which I was impressed with. We got the Loaded Hushpuppies-honestly, it is what it sounds like. Hushpuppies over loaded baked potato dip. It was okay, not the best, not the worst. Second app we got was the Shrimp Toast. I would honestly go back here JUST to eat this as my meal. Shrimp, mozzarella and tomatoes over a toasted baguette with this creole cream sauce over arugula and some kind of basalmic dressing. I don't know, but it worked and I loved it. The blackened unicorn fish was cooked and seasoned well, and the honey creole corn reminded us of street corn off the cob (which we love, so that's a good thing), and the fries were cooked perfect and seasoned well also. Jax Hot Chicken sandwich was pretty good, fried chicken over a Bleu cheese slaw and some kind of honey sauce. I'd love to go back to try more of their cocktails. The one I got was called "The Aristocrat" and had blueberry vodka, aperitivo, lychee, lemon, garnished with fresh blueberries and rosemary. It tasted so FRESH and flowery, I really enjoyed it. They even have live music, I'm not sure which nights but the girl singing had the perfect voice for this restaurant. It matched well with the theme. Overall a great date night pick! read more

My husband and I were visiting for an event and decided to grab Sunday brunch, the building is absolutely beautiful! There are a variety of seating options that each give a different experience. We chose two super comfy couches, but our next visit we plan to chill on their shaded back patio with games. The drinks tasted fantastic and the presentation was beautiful! Don't get me started on the food! We both left pleasently stuffed! I got the chicken and waffles and my husband got the breakfast bowl, both were so flavorful! They even had a dj playing great chill tunes to set the mood perfectly! The whole staff, from the gentleman that took or order, to the one that delivered our food and the manager that hand delivered our drinks, they were all so kind and attentive! The entire experience was acceptional! I wish we lived closer, we would be here every weekend!!! read more

I came here with my friend after she saw instagram worthy ads on her feed. The bartenders were kind and hospitable and that's the why they have one star. The other star is because it truly is an instagram worthy spot for pics. However, we ordered the pimento cheese & the loaded hush puppies and it was bad. the cheese looked out of can. the hush puppies were hard and the "loaded aspect to them was shredded cheese on the bottom completely cold and some weird sour cream mixture with chives and bacon. we didn't even finish, just paid and left. read more

This was a very nice restaurant as far as the decor on the outside and inside. We were greeted promptly and food and drinks came out in a timely fashion. Unfortunately are waitress was so loud and aggressive. She was not trying to be rude but Im guessing trying to be friendly and cool. I would prefer if we were treated professionally like all the other tables we witnessed. The appetizers were good we had the shrimp toast. The entrees were not good. We had the ground beef tacos that were served with almost rock hard meat. The chicken sandwich was a 5/10 at best. Just lacked flavor. Overall, the restaurant is a nice place just needs to work on service and keeping customers especially being a fairly new restaurant. read more

Last night 5/5/23 I convinced my five friends to go with me to the new place I'd been passing every day that looked so nice and had a very appealing menu. Three of them beat me there and arrived 15-30 mins early to order drinks. When I arrived they still didn't have them, me and the two friends I showed up with all ordered appetizers. Our appetizers came out before the original three friends' drinks. One of the three drinks was missing and the two that arrived were wrong. The third drink never even arrived. We all ordered appetizers and food(an entree each). All entrees came out at different times and not a single entree was actually enjoyed. I didn't even eat my dinner and sent the whole thing back. Every plate seemed highly salty. I will say the appetizers were all great (hush puppies, gator tail, fried tomatoes) but all SIX entrees weren't enjoyed. I spent $56 for two meals and two appetizers personally, totally disappointed no dessert or credit of any sort was offered when I sent back an entire entree. Overall, no one was happy, I was the friend that chose a bad new place to try. It was super disappointing. read more

DON'T go!! One of the worst experiences ever! I had been wanting to try this place - what a joke! Our sever- from 6:23 until 8 PM the kitchen is backed up. So left.. had to beg the hostess to cash out spending $109.63 for mediocre drinks! Sad! Not even 1 star. read more

The food and the service were both excellent. Many people came to check on us, and we never felt bothered - it seemed they were all genuinely interested in making sure everything was to our liking. We sat indoors since it was hot outside, but we look forward to returning when it is cooler to try the outdoor area. Great place, highly recommended! read more

This was our second visit to 1937. Two nearly flawless experiences. The first was Father's Day, post-brunch crowd. Food and cocktails (menu-selection) were on point. Open faced meat loaf sandwich, quail dish, fried green tomato BLT and vieux carre--purt near perfection. Tonight's visit showed some chinks in the system despite the food still being made exceptional. We ordered two classic cocktails that were not on the menu (a whiskey sour and a Manhattan). They were totally off. My Manhattan had ice. The "whiskey sour" may have had some whiskey in there somewhere, but no egg whites, no lemon, etc. So, they fixed it! They redid the whiskey sour...this time with the expected ingredients. I got the vieux carre and it was great. This is an excellent restaurant with some minor kinks to work out. Def recommend! read more

I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

The house band is pretty good, a little bit on the young side, but they seem to get the job done. OK. After the house being played a set, they had a sit in sessions with various musicians, which is always nice. The atmosphere is subtle and quiet at least for a club. Location is great, and the staff seemed friendly. It's good to have a place in Jacksonville with an environment like this and a place where you can go and listen to jazz/blues. I wish there was more like this, maybe with a little bit of older, jazz, musicians and more people who appreciate jazz as it didn't seem like the audience was 100% jazz lovers, but that doesn't detract too much especially since there's not a lot of places in Jacksonville that do what they're doing here.

The details from ceiling to wall to all the fixtures, it's very immersive, you are in the islands sir or ma'am! Goodbye Jacksonville! We were seated up front where performer Kalani Rose set the mood and infused the air with her lovely voice.

We ordered food including Aloha Sliders, Huli Huli Wings , and Furikake Fries. Food was good, would've loved more of the glaze on the mini burgers tho!

Just some information to know it is primarily a bar, they only have about 6 appetizers to order from. The appetizers were good and came out very quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was the amount of times they put food down at our table we did not order after about the 3rd or 4th time of this happening it seemed to be something they do to up the bill in hopes you don't notice. The second thing that thoroughly surprised and bothered me was after ordering another round of drinks, the second the drink was put at our table the waitress came over to check us out. No one had asked for the bill so we were all confused as to why we were being told we needed to close out, especially since we had just ordered more drinks. The waitress tells our party they have another reservation coming and they need our table... We all scramble quickly to leave so there's no issue and once we were outside that's when we realized there was no time limit on our table nor did anyone ask to close out the tab. Thankfully the hula dancers and our own group made the experience great however this place is very clearly a money grab and should not be accepting more reservations than can be handled as it completely ruined the end of our experience.

The overall restaurant looked clean and great for a date night. We weren't feeling too hungry so we ordered the following based on the waitress and our friend's recommendations: 1) Crispy Brussels sprouts 2) Duck Fat Corn Bread 3) House made pasta + sugo The crispy brussels sprouts were a bit undercooked and lacked flavor but if you prefer a less crispy Brussel sprout dish I would recommend it over the duck fat corn bread. The duck fat corn bread was disappointing. It was an odd combination of flavors that did not mix very well. The corn bread was mushy and the crisp Napa cabbage with the random ranch/spicy sauce combo did not pair well and left my mouth feeling confused. I had high expectations for their house made pasta as they had a pasta maker out for viewing. The pasta was overcooked and every bite was an interesting mix of flavors...some bites salty...some bites unseasoned. There was barely any meat present and overall we ended up not finishing our meal and wrapping up the night. The only good thing we had was the homemade soda that I did not get a picture of but I believe was the hibiscus one. Overall I would recommend this place for drinks but not dinner.

From the moment we walked in until we left, the staff was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We started with the Calabrian chili wings. They were crispy, hot, and packed with flavor. My only criticisms are that a few of the wings could have used a little more of the Calabrian glaze, they were disrespectfully small, they were all flats, and surprisingly, the restaurant doesn't serve blue cheese dressing despite offering several dishes featuring blue cheese. For my entrée, I ordered the hand-cut fettuccine with glacier blue cheese cream sauce, Calabrian honey, tomato confit, crispy pancetta, and added steak. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the dish had an incredible balance of sweet and savory flavors. I've ordered this same dish on all three visits because it's that good. Every time I tell myself I'm going to try something different, and every time I end up ordering it again. My wife ordered the vodka pizza, and it was excellent. After trying a slice, I can confidently recommend it. On future visits, we'll probably order the pizza as an appetizer to share. It's delicious, easily shareable, and a much better value than the wings or some of the other starters. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and each one was excellent. The frozen fruit and vegetables embedded in the ice cubes were a creative touch that made the drinks feel even more special. If I had one suggestion, it would be to serve bread with the pasta dishes. It would be the perfect accompaniment to soak up every last bit of those incredible sauces. Overall, Midtown Table continues to impress. The food is consistently excellent, the cocktails are creative, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you're looking for one of the best dining experiences in the area, Midtown Table absolutely deserves a visit

I grabbed a seat at the bar while we waited and got a margarita (standard). The margarita was really light and refreshing but fairly underwhelming (had a blood orange piece in it but no lime). Guess I just like my margaritas truly traditional. We ordered the hummus for an appetizer and also got the bread (which comes with roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and a full roasted garlic glove to spread). I loved the free bread but really REALLY loved the hummus. I've had many variations of hummus and this was my favorite thus far. See photos and menu, but this is a must. I must have been so enamored with the hummus because I forgot my picture of the Margherita pizza. The pizza was fairly standard for me but it was standard in a good way. The basil popped off this pizza and must've been hand picked to be so flavorful. For dessert, we got a complimentary house made ice cream. It was vanilla but had olive oil, caramel, sea salt and something else on top that we had to stir in. The combo was amazing! Absolutely recommend this place but expect it to be very busy between 6-8PM. Get reservations!

We were greeted by our server MORGAN who was fantastic from beginning to the end. She suggested some incredible stuff that as a vegetarian I tried and was just amazing. For drinks we had mojito and pinacolada which was nice and refreshing. For appetiser we were recommended with Pomodoro Caprese which was amazing especially their Pesto sauce.

Initially, we were going to Coopers Hawk, but forgot we had to make a reservation a year prior. We were told a 2 hour wait! That is wild given how big the place is. But again it is a Saturday night, and people were smarter than us and made reservations, and thus we left. After giving the news to ogre she full on had a rage attack in the parking lot screaming for those classic Coopers Hawk egg rolls. While we were consoling her I heard a soothing sound coming from behind the restaurant and we landed in front of Enzo's. We were greeted by the kindest owner ever who thankfully along with the help of her staff got us in with no wait, given how packed it was.. We were greeted by a very nice waiter who seemed all over the place though. I think he was definitely new, and was forgetful at times.. Anyways! We got three apps which were all fried stuff. Fried ravioli, Fried mozzarella sticks, Fried calamari. Honestly looking back kind of gross.. but they were solid tasting! Nothing out of the park at all on the apps just your standard.. a little tasteless on the calamari, but then again I had like 3-4 pieces because the ogre consumed them.. but then I got clarification from my good buddy bezos that it was kind of tasteless. The most tastiest was the fried mozzarella! Which shouldn't happen. Onto the entrees! Actually wait side reference note I initially ordered mussels with linguini. It was the worst dish of seafood and pasta I have ever had. I literally NEVER send stuff back, like literally never.. it feels inconsiderate and I feel like a bother even if it is just a little edible I would eat it with no complaints but I literally could not. It was so fishy I am now writing this nauseous. Some of the mussels were also closed, cold or broken.. it was just very very poor and I'm mad I had three mussels. The first one was crazy fishy, but I gave it another shot and then another, because I believe in second and third chances. But no, I was grossed out. Not to mention consuming all the fried prior. I also ordered a soup that was forgotten, and didn't get my cocktail sauce, but not really an issue if the dish was made to torture people with. Eventually I did get my soup and it wasn't bad! But now onto the entrees! Bezos: Chicken francese Tragic: veal parm Ogre: Chicken parm Doctor B Wife: Chicken Caprese Me: after the swap I got Veal Parm (thanks tragic) Oh and we had some garlic bread, but it needed some sauce or added flavor with it idk.. Reviews! Ogre: The chicken was good Wife: Mid Bezos: *yawn* ummmm Tragic: Italian stallion Me: the veal was solid, but that dish was so bad before that I lost all my appetite and I am just bleh.. and our waiter seemed a little lost.. again nice guy but come on. All in all we are grateful we were taken in by Enzo's and that owner seemed like she was a hardworking person that definitely can inspire her staff. I loved the piano playing, and the environment was really pleasant. Although me personally I disagree with the food, that dish was the worst ever, and our waiter again although nice was extremely forgetful. I feel sick to my stomach and I probably am going to vomit. But thank you again you gave us a good night and a place to eat..

It enhanced the shrimp, it made the perfect dip for the bread. We were so excited for our main dishes. I ordered the seafood pasta. It was beautiful in presentation. It was good, but did not hit in the same way as our appetizer. It could have used more flavor. It was good, not outstanding like our appetizer. My wife felt the same about her risotto.

I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem thanks to a quick Yelp search! I am incredibly grateful for finding 1937 Spirits & Eatery in lovely San Marco, Jacksonville. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the impeccable aesthetic of the place. The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance truly set the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The cozy yet stylish atmosphere instantly made me feel at home. But the real star of the show was the food. It not only met my expectations but surpassed them. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced, making every bite a delight to savor. I must mention the exceptional service provided by the staff. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. As a parent, I was particularly impressed with how they kept our toddlers entertained after our playdate. It's rare to find a place that caters so well to families. Now let's talk about the dishes that left a lasting impression on my taste buds. The Shrimp Toast was a revelation, with its crispy exterior and succulent shrimp filling. It was a great way to start the meal. The Catch of the Day, which happened to be Grouper with Creole Corn and Hushpuppies, was cooked to perfection. The fish was fresh, flaky, and paired beautifully with the flavorful corn and crispy hushpuppies. And let's not forget the mouthwatering Fried Shrimp, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each bite was a sheer delight. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Fawn, the fantastic general manager who made our visit even more special. Her warm hospitality and attentiveness added a personal touch to the dining experience. She ensured that everything ran smoothly and took the time to make us feel welcome. Lastly, I highly recommend trying their signature drinks. The Pica Fresa was a refreshing and tangy concoction that perfectly complemented the flavors of the dishes. And The Aristocrat was simply divine, a true masterpiece that showcased the mixologist's skill. These drinks were the perfect accompaniment to our meal, and I found myself savoring every sip. In conclusion, 1937 Spirits & Eatery is a true gem in San Marco, Jacksonville. With its impeccable aesthetic, outstanding food, and exceptional service, it's a place that deserves to be discovered. Whether you're looking for a cozy date night spot or a family-friendly restaurant, this is the place to go. Thank you to the entire team at 1937 Spirits & Eatery for creating such a memorable experience. I can't wait to visit again soon. Cheers! read more

Just found this jewel on Friday night. Service is different and that you order your drinks before you sit down and they start your tab. Then they call them, ambassadors of fun, take your orders were there it's for food and or drinks. We started with the shrimp toast, Sour dough toast topped with shrimp and mozzarella in a Cajun cream with locally sourced greens and finished with smoked tomato vinaigrette which is an excellent appetizer and their most popular. We then had their fish dip, Slow-smoked fish dip served with crudités of carrots and celery and captain's wafers and their Smoky tajin spiced pimento cheese crudités of carrots and celery and captain's wafers We then ordered the In - House Smoked bone-in pork chop finished with a sorghum butter, along with butter braised kale and Fresh steamed broccoli tossed in sorghum butter finished with garlic-toasted almond slices. The happy hour wine is only &4.00 a glass and it is very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. The general manager is Fawn and the dining room manager is Hannah , both checking on tables, making sure their guests were happy with a smile on their face. I have never seen a place where every employee has a smile on their face and they are doing their best to make you happy and serve you. read more

I wanted to give 1937 a 5, but there were just a couple of issues that just couldn't get it there. First, the food was great! I had the Grouper BLT and the grouper was cooked very well and the fried green tomatoes were tasty. The hush puppies are flavorful and not dry. The location is convenient and there is plenty of parking. The downside - I ordered a cherry limeade (adult version!) and was expecting that nice sweet and tart low key refreshing drink, but got a drink that was very perfume-y like they tried to upscale it. Unusual. While the interior is quite nice, the concrete floor and high ceiling make it very echoy and hard to hear when the crowd get excited over whatever game is on! I will definitely go back. No reason to skip this one! read more

The pork chop I ordered was truly outstanding, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a savory experience that left me wanting more. What impressed me equally was the staff's genuine friendliness and attentive service. They made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in, and their promptness in taking care of my needs was commendable. The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, creating a wonderful ambiance for a memorable dining experience. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out 1937 Spirits and Eatery. read more

My recent dining experience at 1937 Spirits and Eatery was nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance is classy yet comfortable, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The menu offers a fantastic selection of meals. I particularly enjoyed my Cherry Limeade cocktail. We sat at the bar and service was impeccable, ensuring that every need was met throughout the meal. The prices were reasonable. I had the fried shrimp, roasted broccoli and the hush puppies were some of the best I have ever had. Overall, 1937 Spirits and Eatery exceeded my expectations in every way. It's definitely a gem in Jacksonville's dining scene, and I can't wait to return to try more of their delicious offerings! read more

I recently checked out the new restaurant in San Marco, and let me tell you, it was awesome! The ambiance was on point - chill vibes, cool decor, and friendly staff. But the real star of the show was the food and drinks. They were so good! Everything we tried was delicious, and they had some seriously creative drink options. My personal favorites were the Cherry Limeade and the In a Pickle drinks. So refreshing! Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out this spot if you're in the area. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy some tasty food and drinks with friends. Five stars, for sure! read more

Highlights: Excellent service from bartender Mateo, who was friendly and attentive. The food itself was delicious when served warm. Areas for Improvement: Service from the other bartender (Caucasian lady with thick eyebrows) could have been more proactive in addressing the food delay. The food arrived cold, which significantly impacted the dining experience. Overall, 1937 has the potential to be a great restaurant with some improvements in service attentiveness and ensuring food arrives at the proper temperature. read more
