brew and barrel surprise me how good the food was for a bar type atmosphere. It's kid friendly and has great variety. The service every time I go has been great and the food has been fresh. It's a relaxed feeling and plenty of TVs to keep your attention. Highly recommend. read more

Ask for Sarah! Such a great waitress. I live so close to Brew n Barrel. We had a terrible start back in the day! Bygones are Bygones! The place is a well oiled machine and I really like it! My friend and I stopped in after an event. We ordered a couple of drinks and a supreme pizza. The pizza was delicious. Sarah was an awesome server and the atmosphere very Brant. Even after a Jaguar loss... read more

Despite being a sports bar on a college football night, we were able to be seated almost immediately. The waitress was attentive, but not overly pushy. At no time did we feel like we were being rushed to give up the table. I ordered the French dip sandwich with fries and was very happy. The meat to bread ratio was generous to say the least. The bread was super soft and fresh. They didn't give a lot of au jus, but I am 99% sure that had I asked for more, they would have come through for me. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I like my fries with malt vinegar and was pleasantly surprised that they had it on hand for me. read more

Brew & Barrel Tavern - French dip - American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I have been wanting to come here for a while and finally made the stop. Plenty of seating, a pool table, golf game, darts, a large bar top, and tons of tv's to watch sports. The pork nachos were delicious and can definitely be shared. The tap beer was extra cold and crispy. Large parking lot and quick service at the bar top. I will be a returning customer. read more

Stopped in for a chill dinner after driving all day from Miami to Jacksonville and this was the perfect spot. We're sports fans so it worked out that the games were on all the TVs, first weekend of playoff football so lots of excitement, and the food hit the spot. Above average for "bar" food as one might say; I got the cheese pizza which was *huge* we had to take a box to go, and my dining partner had the wings with split sauce. He liked the Shipwrecked sauce the best! Server was super sweet and attentive. read more

3.75 Good: Setuo, large bar, games Service: Pretty bad, outside of the manager who basically waited on us and sat us, and got our drinks. Our waitress checked on us once, never offered to fill our drinks or get me another beer (manager did), etc. If she was slammed, ok, but she was filling her own drink at the station next to us and talking to another two staff members. Seating: Maybe get a table, the booth seat moved. Not the end of the world but uncomfortable. Food: Mozzarella sticks- good with good sauce, chicken parm sandwich- large and my son liked a lot, shrimp platter- ok, funny taste to the mashed potatoes, shrimp super cold. Berry salad half was large - yummy salad and dressing, but the shrimp was also ice cold. Food took a while to come out, so be prepared. The manager did come by and let us know that the kitchen was backed up. Wasn't super crowded but they may have been short staffed. I didn't complain. Essentially, I still tipped decent at 18%, but only due to the manager who served us, filled our drinks, and kept us updated on the status of our food. It's hard for me to tip under 20 and def not at all or I would have left her with a few bucks her manager saved her. Sort of disappointed as I was excited for the vibe. I did not say anything there, not really what I do, but read more

I stopped into for their Friday $9.99 Tavern Burger lunch special. The delicious burger is a half pound of Angus beef ground with applewood smoked bacon, cooked to temperature, comes with choice of cheese (I went with cheddar), and a huge portion of tasty fries. The bartender asked me if I wanted some ranch for the fries. I asked if it was made in-house & gladly accepted her offer when I learned it is. IYKYK Be sure to follow them on social media to check out ALL of their weekly bar and food specials! They have a full bar in addition to the drafts, bottles. & cans noted. read more

Brew & Barrel has a new happy customer! I was scrolling on Yelp last week and saw this spot (opened about six months) on Beach Blvd a few miles from my house. I stopped in on Taco Tuesday, yes please! They offered fish (blackened, grilled or fried), chicken and shredded pork BBQ, $2 each. I ordered the blackened fish and chicken tacos. Both were deliscious. The toppings were fresh and plentiful including red onions, cheese and tomato. The fish and chicken were flavorful. I also ordered the berry salad, which was fabulous. The strawberries and blueberries were bright and colorful. The combo of fruit, feta and candied pecans meshed so nicely with the poppy seed dressing. Bonus, I prefer mixed greens. They have different food specials during the week. Monday, $1 wings, Tuesday, $2 tacos, Wednesday, $10 Shipwreck chicken sandwich, Thursday, $9 flatbreads, and Friday, $9.99 tavern burger. Drink specials are also offered. Tyler treated me like a regular. Much appreciated;)) I'm looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

We decided to celebrate my mom's birthday at Brew and Barrel, a new spot for us. The restaurant has a sports bar vibe with lots of TVs, pool tables, and arcade games. Parking was plentiful and we found seating easily. They have a nice outdoor kids' area, although its location right next to the smoking section made us hesitant to let the kids play there. We tried a variety of dishes. The fried pickles were a bit different from what we expected, with long-cut pickles and a lot of breading. The breading didn't stick well to the pickles but the aioli that came with it was tasty. The cheesy bread, marinated in red wine, had a subtle but enjoyable flavor. For mains, my wife loved the Berry Salad, but unfortunately, my mom found the Reuben sandwich disappointing. She said that it was too saucy and with overly chipped meat. My Dos Pollo dish was a bit of a mess, swimming in gravy and tasting like frozen chicken. Taste was okay but it seemed kind of sloppy Dessert was a molten chocolate lava cake, similar to what you'd find at a chain restaurant like Chili's. The beer selection was decent, though nothing stood out as unique. Service was good, but overall, the food didn't impress us enough to warrant a return visit specifically for dining. We might give the bar another shot during a game night. read more

Great "Game Day" spot- Many tvs throughout. Spacious- Ideal for large parties. Kid friendly- Kid menu, play area, arcade and claw machine. Activities- Billiards, darts, foosball. Food- Came out in a timely manner. Nice sized portions. Try the Steak Frites and bread pudding. Drinks- We were loving the servers coming around with the shots. Staff- Everyone was on point and nice. Much appreciated! Jags ended up winning so must be a lucky spot! read more

Met up with some friends for a Friendsgiving/Jags game on a Sunday. We arrived at 12pm to get some seats and grab some eats before the kickoff. As we walked in (newbies), the place was surprisingly spacious and open. There are pool tables and games on the left side, bar with seating in the middle, and lots of tables for dining on the right. TVs lined the walls, so it was great to watch the game. I made sure to sit facing the screens. Hehe. And they have a cool Kids Area at the front, too! That definitely kept the children occupied as the adults watched the game. We got some food for sharing and our own meals as well. Fried green tomatoes were yummy, but that was a LOT of pimento cheese on top. So much that I think crackers would be nice to eat the rest of it with. Hehe. Drunken cheesey bread was a little too soggy for me. Maybe if it dried out and then cooked it, maybe it would taste different? I would have been fine with just regular cheesey crusted bread. The kids' pizza looked good! Hehe. I sampled the nachos and deviled eggs, tasty. Nachos were definitely huge enough to share with all. My original reason for picking the place was to try the Oven-Braised Short Ribs ... I was told they were sold out of it the night before (sad face). So, I ended up getting the Steak Frittes. Even though it wasn't my first choice, it was flavorful and delicious. Cooked medium to perfection. Fried onion shoestring wasn't on the menu, but I think it gave it a nice flavored touch. Pleasant surprise - Thanks! They had some free shot promotions for tequila that day - it was nice. Perfect pairing for our football game and scores! Hehe, thanks, Brew & Barrel!!! It's definitely a fun place to check out, chill, and surprise the palate. Oh, and big thanks to Nicole for taking care of our huge part of 14, children and all. read more

We just love this neighborhood spot! We have visited every week since they opened and it just keeps getting better. They have already made multiple changes based on customer feedback and I love that. They listen to the people. Tonight at the suggestion of Tyler, who is a great server, we tried two new appetizers. The pretzel bites and corn nuggets. We liked both. I had my standard order of fried Mayport shrimp but with half sweet potato fries and half regular fries. They were delicious as always and of course I love that they now serve cocktail and tartar sauce. The sweet potato fries were great! My Dad had his normal order of the bacon cheeseburger but was so happy about the sweet potato fries as those are his favorite. Hubby tried the new chicken Parmesan sandwich and loved it. People, this is a monster of a sandwich, so beware. This place offers great appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, salads, desserts, a full bar as well as TVs galore, pool tables, darts, etc. and the owners and staff are great! We will continue to be weekly patrons. read more

Great new Addition for the neighborhood. Tucked in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. There are 2 porches out front however no TVs on the porches. The main area if a large room filled with a bar, table, and an area with a pool table and dart board. Service was great- if we asked for something it can quick and the server came by often enough that we were never missing anything. I ordered the nachos. They were A+. Loaded with toppings on every layer. I will come back specifically for this. Kid friendly! read more

I have been to Brew & Barrel several times as it is only a mile from where I live. My husband & I were so glad to see a full service restaurant open up in this area! Atmosphere is nice, bar is plenty big & servers are very nice. However, each time I have tried to order the wings, it is a problem. We asked for all drums because we don't like the flats. We have been told several times that we can't order all drums due to the Mon. special for wings. That makes absolutely no sense!! If you need to order more wings to accommodate this request, you should do that!! We do this at a number of restaurants in the area, no problem!! They may charge an upcharge, which is no problem. Wings are not cheap, we should not have to pay for something we don't like. We have ordered the pizza several times & it is always over cooked to where the edge of the crust is black. We were there last Fri. night, saw three different pizzas come out, all were over cooked. When we went to order ours, they were out of pizza! This restaurant could definitely do a better job on pleasing its customers. read more

Great food and great service. The wings here are awesome. They have food specials throughout the week.

The inside is a lot bigger than expected and they have a lot of TV's for watching sports. Our server was Nicole T ,she was sweet and took good care of us. I had The Charleston burger which comes with a fried green tomato and pimento cheese. It was really good and cooked perfectly. My husband and son had the house salad which looked really fresh and good and they both said it was. For their meal they did the wings one had the Buffalo and one had the Shipwreck sauce. The Shipwreck sauce ones were really good and I will get them next time. There will actually be more than one next time, because there a few more menu items I want to try. read more

I had the pork belly sliders and the shipwreck wings. Both were very tasty and well prepared. My waitress was very attentive and answered any questions that I had about the menu.

I had seen the sign for this for a long time and was waiting for it to open. This place has a lot of potential. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could but in the spirit of supporting local businesses- let's round up! Especially since a lot of the lows could be easily avoided with different server. The highs: First - the wings! They're unique and delicious; brined in sweet tea and smoked; they were crispy and salty and sweet and didn't need any sauce (they come naked). We really enjoyed them - the highlight of our meal. They make the sauces in house; we had the BBQ, ranch and their house sweet and spicy sauce. The ranch was pretty good, sour cream base. The BBQ was nice - sweet and peppery. The spicy wing sauce was pretty good, but didn't really go with wings. The OK: The burger and the fish and chips were ok but could be improved. The burger - and this could simply be the service - came pretty undercooked. It was a solid medium, which is too rare for ground beef. They do blend it with bacon in the grind, and it's ground in house according the the menu. The server never asked how we wanted the burger cooked so I assume they just cooked it to medium. The flavor was good - a nice crust and a nice flavor and definitely can taste the bacon in it. Supposed to come with lettuce tomato and onion; mine had no onion and a half slice of tomato. The bun wasn't toasted so it got a little wet. Correct all those things and it's a good burger! The fish was placed on top of wet slaw. This made it wet, and the batter just came off. Flavor was good though. Wife liked the slaw, which was a wasabi slaw, it was weird to me. The Meh: mostly - the service. Our server was nice, but she was very lacking in knowledge of the menu and had to go and ask the kitchen simple questions - like did they have honey mustard (it's on the menu, we saw later, but she said they didn't). She never brought some things we asked for, brought the wrong food..it detracted from the experience. She also brought us the wrong beers, which we drank it was fine. But what was weird was - we ordered the same thing and they were two very different beers! Which leads to my last suggestion. For a place with "Brew" in the name - they had a disappointing lack of variety in the drink menu - just your typical American beers and exactly two craft beers. All in all we would go back for the wings and try some other things. read more

A few weeks ago my racquetball buddy Chris McGuire invited a few league guys to a new spot on Beach and San Pablo. Brew and Barrel Tavern occupies the old Chinese Buffet spot in the Big Lots plaza. Completely remodeled and renovated, the inside is fantastically fresh with three main areas...a billiards and dart area, a main dining area with multiple tables able to accommodate large groups, and the large main bar. Spacious yet personal. My first visit I tried the Shipwreck Chicken Sandwich with fries. Panko breaded chicken breast topped with pepper Jack cheese, lettuce tomato and Shipwreck sauce, a sweet chili bbq sauce. The breast was huge and perfectly breaded. The sauce was sweet and tangy. The fries were hot, seasoned and crispy. I was so impressed with my first bite I immediately planned my return to review other items. The service was excellent, engaging and personable. Amanda was the Bartender and she was more than attentive. Huge BINGO fan too apparently . I also had the pleasure of meeting and talking with owner Stephen Chelgren. He also owns Tavern on 1st and the Wreck Tiki Lounge. We exchanged pleasantries and he was a terrific guy. My buddies had the Pork Nachos and the couple next to me got the Steak & Cheese served on a baguette (my favorite). Everyone complimented their entrees. I literally came back the next day but unfortunately they are not open for lunch except for Fridays. Fast forward a few weeks and I made my triumphant return. As I entered I spotted Steve speaking with a large group in the dining room, always a great sign seeing owners engaging with guests and he remembered me as Fast Eddy's from my previous visit. He introduced me to co-owner Jason Puzey who was also very welcoming and affable. I look forward to getting to know them both better. Smiling like an old friend who's up to no good, Amanda again was at the bar to greet me. I ordered a dozen of their Tavern Wings which are brined for 24 hrs in sweet tea and then Mesquite Smoked for a dry rubbed texture. They were so flavorful and delicious. There are dipping and tossed sauce options as well. For my entree I was considering the Chopped Steak but Amanda recommended her favorite the Dos Pollo, grilled chicken breasts, sun dried tomato, creamy goat cheese, fresh basil, mashed potatoes, green beans and a creamy lemon gravy sauce. It was a true Southern masterpiece. Piping hot and perfectly balanced flavors, all complimenting the grilled chicken. Well portioned and plenty of green beans. An elegantly presented dish yet mannered as real Southern comfort food. On my previous visit I enjoyed a piece of Key Lime Pie but it's been removed so I indulged in the New Orleans Bread Pudding made from croissants and topped with a bourbon vanilla sauce and served with vanilla ice cream. A sweet finale that concluded an incredible meal. I highly recommend visiting Brew & Barrel Tavern for anything from an after work beer to a casually romantic dinner to throwing back some brews while running the table. Open till 2 am with a late night menu till 1am certain nights but double check. read more

Great service, even better food, and friendly atmosphere. Liked it a lot! Will go back for sure.

Great place! Clean, good service, food was good too. Loved that it wasn't too crowded although I'm sure that will be short lived once the word gets out.

Ate here tonight with a table of 11. Staff was accommodating and friendly. The menu is varied. We appreciated the variety for an 'American' style menu. Some interesting items I look forward to trying. Wings were great! The cheesesteak and green beans had great flavor. (Nice to see a casual restaurant know how to sautee green beans without overcooking.) My friends'' salads and (huge) sandwiches looked impressive as well! Nice big space for pool, darts and arcade games, as well as the tvs on the wall. read more

Saw that this opened so our friend group decided to have a late Friendsgiving lunch and to watch the Jaguar game. No reservation but we were welcomed and they accommodated our party of 13 pretty quickly. The place is clean and is open with lots of tables, the bar, pool tables, darts, and claw machine. Food and drinks were greatly and reasonably priced. We had a great time catching up, eating, and watching the Jacksonville Jags game. Loved that they had a game area for kids as well. This kept our littles busy so we could finish the game. My faves were the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, and the pork nachos! Definitely a must stop place for a relaxed place to hangout and have a drink with good food. read more

Just discovered this restaurant and decided to try it out. Absolutely love the feel of the place. It's a great spot to hang out with friends due to the fact there are pool tables and football to entertain you. I had the blackened grouper sandwhich with the best homemade tartar sauce I've ever had. The pretzel bites with beer cheese is a must. The only thing I'll pass on next time is the spring rolls. Although I LOVE edamame. It being in the spring roll, the texture and taste added a somewhat of displeasing overall taste and texture. I will definitely come back. read more

Convenient location, servers Carly & Jessie are great. Food is great, love the shipwreck sauce and deviled eggs. Could use more healthy options on the menu like black bean burgers maybe. Would be better without kids running around when trying to play pool. Maybe less kids games or maybe parents could watch their kids. Huge bar, clean and large space. read more

We were a bit hesitant to visit just for the food, no alcohol November, but so glad we did! We were greeted immediately and had a choice of seats, we chose the corner spot at the bar! The service was impeccable! It's a pretty large interior with 2 pool tables, darts, and some arcade type games. The walls have plenty of televisions so we'll definitely return for the next Jags game! We were pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality of the food, definitely upscale for bar food! We started with the fried deviled eggs, they have a crispy coating and they're drizzled with balsamic and they sit on a bed of micro greens. Magically delicious! Also had to try the wings, they're soaked in sweet tea and then smoked with a dry rub. We recommend the shipwreck sauce with the blue cheese, the double dip with the juicy wings is perfection. We followed the wings by splitting the berry salad topped with an aïoli dressing. It's tart, crunchy, sweet and savory. It's the perfect combination of flavors and the large salad is huge, sad I forgot to snap a picture! The final course did not disappoint, the Dos Pollo entree is a bit salty but oh so delicious. The mashed potato's had a little bit of skin and some chunks that scream homemade and the green beans were cooked to crunchy perfection. The chicken breasts covered with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese were cooked beautifully. We're looking forward to a return visit so we can try the burger and fries! read more

We've only had great service and food there. Fun games to play while waiting. Has a nice size bar, but also has booth and table seating available for families.

I had a burger... I mean, any burger that has ground up bacon in it can't be all bad, right? It was tasty and juicy, the bun was soft and fresh. The fries were fries. The service is underwhelming. I ate at the bar. While the (I guess) owner did come by to see how our food was, the bartenders seemed to always be off doing something else. We always had to flag them down for more cocktails and when they delivered my burger, I got no set-up, or real napkin and then the bar staff just disappeared. I had to grab cocktail napkins from behind the bar. Many of the patrons seemed to be friends of staff, not ordinary customers. It wasn't overly busy, so I'm not sure why I experienced the lack of focus. Will I try Brew and Barrel again? Yes... But if they don't fix the service problems, I don't see the place lasting. That would be a shame, because it's a nice place, and an alternative sorely needed in the area. I think the owner (or manager) cares, he just needs to get his staff's focus in the right place. read more
