    Notorious F.I.G. - Belgian Style Amber with Fig & Vanilla
    Trisha S.

    Love to come here and pregame before a show at Jack Rabbits. The good from the little truck outside is always really good too. I had the cheeseburger on this visit with their Notorious F.I.G. beer. Service is always friendly here and they had the World Cup on. Wasn't too loud or crazy, or even crowded.

    This place is such a hidden gem.. I live right up the road from here and it's a great brewery to get a variety that suits everyones pallets. It's also a dog friendly so I bring my little girl with me. The staff is very friendly and the lighting is off the chart. They have a cute little courtyard that you can hang out in when it's not raining. They also have a food truck that comes by here that is delicious. Everyone is super chill and friendly. Highly recommend this brewery. I will say it looks abandoned from the outside, but it's a thriving business. Come check it out.

    Cool spot! Came for a thrift exchange in their back room and had a good time. I was doing dry January so I got a Mexican cola (so yummy)! The workers are nice and it seems they have a good amount of events here.

    Still hits every time I come here. I love the outdoor area (outside of summer) and the beer is always delicious. I had their Hazy IPA this go around and it was fantastic. Always love doing a pitstop here because it never disappoints

    A cool brewery in Jacksonville. Got to visit this spot for a friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. They had a private space in the back that they had tables set up and were able to bring in food to feed everyone. We were able to order drinks at the bar and put it on the tab for the back room. We got to try some of their beers including the hazy IPA (always a fav of mine) and "the lightest beer ya got" which was actually a high percentage. Both were so good! The setup of the brewery is really nice with some seating outside and a lot of seating inside, as well. I loved how pet friendly this brewery was with all the doggos around. The service was fast and friendly. Loved coming here to help celebrate our friends before their big day!

    Amazing space and would be so fun on a summer night outside with a large patio area and pool inside. Dark and dive-y on the inside gives the brewery the ominous vibes the name portrays. I got a flight with 2 pilot beers - lemon lime sour and creamsicle IPA and the Jax water and the hazy ipa. The best out of the 4 was the lemon lime sour. The rest had a weird aftertaste, but understandable with the flavorings. I purchased a 4pk and didn't see a canning date- unsure if it was old or a bad batch but there was zero carbonation, very yeasty and fell very flat. I ended up throwing away 3 of the 4. I'd go for the drafts but would be wary of the cans

    First off, they do have a parking lot in back, otherwise you can street park. The entrance was tricky to find, but it was dark and raining. This was one of my favorite breweries in the area, both due to the beers as well as the vibe. While they do have TVs, it is more of an intimate setting, but there's also tables for larger groups.

    A very good ESB

    Nothing bad to say on this visit. It's been over 5 years since my first and only other time here. I came today specifically for the Pride ESB, with $1 of each pint going to Equality Florida - First Coast Community to kick off Pride month. Way to go guys! The ESB is a great version of this style. You rarely find a brewery making this, so if it's available, give it a shot. The Hop Oddity was a very good, if light, West Coast IPA. They nailed the hoppiness pretty well. On my previous visit, I noted that the sours and darks were the strength here. It appears that hasn't changed. I think this place deserves a visit regardless of your taste in beer. And if you're here when the Chancho King food truck is on premise, you have to try the Choripan. Simply divine

    Aardwolf Brewing has been around for a while and is one of our favorite local breweries. We come here every so often to check out their seasonal brews and the fun themes that they decorate the main area. There isn't really a set schedule of when they redecorate but they always announce when they re-theme the area on social media. The staff is always nice and welcoming. They have a nice a variety of brews such as tasty IPA and some very good stouts along with a variety of sours and non-alcoholic beverages. There's a large game room in the back along with 2 other rooms for small gatherings. The only complaint I have is that the rooms, other than the main room, tend to be echo-y so it's hard to have a private conversation. I would definitely recommend visiting this brewery and ordering a flight to sample what they have to offer.

    The brewmaster here certainly knows what they're doing! First visit, and I ordered a flight so that I could sample some of their creations. They had a nine year release, the Wallonian Waffle, that was crazy awesome, high octane, and slightly sweet with the essence of blueberries and maple syrup. Also, really enjoyed their Belgian Dubbel and WC IPA. This brewery sits right next to the railroad tracks, has a limited amount of gravel parking space, and has both inside capacity and a small outside area. No food, but a food truck available depending on the night. Directly across the street there is also a Mexican restaurant, Panera, bread, and an ice cream parlor.

I had the simply titled Steak In A Sack, which I liked. It's not a brunch dish that's going to set the world on fire but it's gonna hit the spot. The biggest surprise to me was how much I liked the side of potatoes. I'm the type of person who salts everything but these were seasoned so well that I didn't haven't to. My wife ordered the French Toast Burger out of sheer curiosity. It was exactly what she guessed it would be. She hit it with a fork & knife like I did with the steak in a sack and she finished most of it! She also loved the potatoes. It's worth noting that our server was a delightful woman named Eileen. We were the first ones through the door at 10am today but she greeted us with a smile and took great care of us the whole time.

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.

    I went when they had the house band, pretty good music, nice easy environment, wasn't too crowded…read more I don't drink so I can't speak for that, I came for the music. 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.
