To update my review:I came early tonight and had reserved a table for five of my friends and myself. They had the table ready. I ate the steak, loaded potato, mixed vegetables and a salad. For my drinks, I had a coke and a margarita. Everything was so good and delicious. Now, the real reason I was here tonight was to hear Big Engine perform. They set up around 8pm, enjoyed a meal with their families. Then they started to play around 9:30. They really rocked the house at Cliff's tonight. Cliff's was packed out to the max. Thank you Shea for allowing me to reserve my table so easily. Cliff's always has great food, great choice of bands and good service. You guys "ROCK". I only drawback is it is a smoking establishment. I don't smoke. Look forward to coming back real soon for more fun, food and drinks. read more

We went to Cliff's this past Saturday Evening to eat and watch College Football, especially because it was now NONSMOKING. :) Our Waitress was Great, food(Wings, soft Pretzel, and Pepperoni Pizza) was ok, Beer was Cold :) Since this is supposed to be a Sports Bar, we did not expect there to be an issue with the Staff getting our Game(Gators) on the TV, The Game had already started, but they have some issue with "Limited TV Connections" NEVER HEARD OF THIS IN A SPORTS BAR! Then, the Band that was supposed to start at 9pm, came in around 8pm and started "setting up" and playing their instruments randomly getting tuned I guess, we could not hear the Game due to all the Warm up Music Playing!!!! An Hour before they were to start playing at that! They started playing about 9:10pm, The Game was still on, we could no longer enjoy watching/Listening to Football, IN A SPORTS BAR!!!! Not Happy, definitely DON'T GO IF YOU WANT TO WATCH/LISTEN TO FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY!! :( read more

Love this place! Holly is the best bartender ever!!!! Great local spot with live music.

Local bar, populated by locals. You might go and have a good time or you might go and have your date accosted and have to fight your way out. Just depends on how the locals feel. Keep you head in the game. Went once and never again. read more

Great bar food, really good prices on drinks and excellent bands every Friday and Saturday night plus karaoke on Sunday and Wednesdays. This is one of my favorite neighborhood bars read more

It WAS a Friday night and busy...but..the food was horrible! Our server Crystal was great and so was the band. I would go back for the band and drinks but that's all. read more

Went here last night to play some cards with friends im visiting in the area - the band was AWESOME, the waitress was on her game - I mean top tier service - and the food....omg. Now bear in mind this is a sports bar with pool, darts, bands, et al, but I believe the margarita flatbread was THE BEST I have ever had in my life. Fries were great, pretzels great and the people there are very friendly - nice group. And the price - I had enough left over to tip the band a $20 read more

Best chicken wings in the country. The wings are amazing. Did I mention the chicken wings are delicious?

Cliff's is a great place to meet a friend for a quick beer, although you will end up staying past that "quick beer" you both promised one another. I visited on a weeknight; our bartender "Vonnie" was excellent. Very attentive and gave us great service. I will visit again.. read more

This is a great bar to hang out on the weekends. The bands are great. The food is also really good. I've tried their burgers and sandwiches and they were all great for a bar. They have a great variety of drinks for anyone. The staff is friendly and remembers us from week to week and knows our drink order. We have fun hanging out with friends with the fun atmosphere. read more

Great Bar, well priced. They have live music often which is great, but it's always way to loud. -.5 stars. And their awesome menu is missing Fried Pickles. -.5 stars. Seriously...add fried pickles to the menu. read more

I really have to say the service at Cliffs has been nothing but spectacular! The buff man behind the bar is a dream boat. He is a twist of Spanish fly with a dip of oh my god. I have never been more excited about coming here. This staff is awesome. I look forward to my every Monday. I'll see you soon Cliffs, . read more

Cliff's Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I ordered our burgers medium and they came extremely well done. I ordered seasoned fries and they came non seasoned. I ordered mushrooms on my burger but they didn't come with any. The tator tots were burnt. My husband ordered a side of cheese sauce and they forgot to put it in there. This is all having been after a 38 minute wait after they told us over the phone it would only be 20 minutes and this is the third time this has happened. This used to be one of my favorite burger places but now I don't think I will be returning read more

I would highly recommend not spending your time/money. The staff was very rude. Will not return.

Okay I will say that I did not get a chance to enjoy the food so this review is merely based on the atmosphere and the very brief experience I had at this establishment. Me and my husband wanted to try something new and support our local businesses so we chose this bar based on the reviews on yelp. I really wanted to the shrimp and grits. We walked in and it was as if we were invisible. We saw the group of waitresses standing by the bar and no one made any efforts to seat us or give us a run down on how things worked at this establishment. So after changing tables several times because the chairs were not in the best condition, we settled on a table by the bar and sat there for about 10 minutes and no waiter ever approached us but they approached and older white couple that sat two tables away from us. We looked at each other and waited 5 more minutes then my husband said let's go. I was highly disappointed because from the reviews it seemed to be a great place. Diversity is definitely needed in this place. I don't think we will be back. read more

Great local bar, good drinks, good food, lots of tvs for sports, pool tables and dart boards. The only negative is the smoking inside with serving food, its not bad at lunch time. read more

First time back in a long time, since last visit was pretty bad. They are now smoke free, clean and improved their staff! Today's visit was pleasant, the beer was fast and cold, and the food was great. We will be back! read more

Stopped in to grab a beer and a bite to eat around 6:30 PM Wednesday (mid August, last week). There were about 20 people inside. We sat at a table and the waitress came up to us and said we had to leave. We were in shorts, sneakers and one in a $65 tailored tank top. Waitress said no tank tops. We asked about the five ladies in spaghetti straps, some barely clothed. We were told "management is ridiculous and that only men must comply." This is unbelievable for an Arlington dive bar! read more

Friendly neighborhood five that has great staff, great prices, and great regulars. Don't miss Cliff's for an ultra casual great time.

Just...... incredible. Seriously.. it's incredible. Did I mention it was incredible?

Love this local spot with great live music and a fun atmosphere! Holly is the best bartender on this side of Jax hands down and the mac and cheese bites are bomb! read more

Was visiting from out of town and stopped in for lunch. Fantastic specials and great food!!! Would definitely return especially to watch a big game on their tvs. highly recommend!! read more

I have been to Cliff's many many times. The food is ALWAYS outstanding! Service is always good too. Try the wings, I have had wings endless times in this town and none can top Cliff's. The chef salad is a definite great too. Nothing bad to say and I can't count the times I have gotten together with friends or just a quick lunch or a date night. read more

Quick and relatively cheap beer. Just that neighborhood bar for you to run into someone you haven't seen in awhile, basic straight forward Americana. read more

Love this place. My husband and I have been going to Cliff's for several years.They get in really awesome bands, the food is really good. They have pool tables and many TV's to watch sporting events. Owners and employees are very friendly and do a great job. Prices are reasonable. We have never had a problem with overcharging on our credit card. They sponsor many charity events and care about their customers. If someone wants to have a great time....Cliff's is the place to go!!! read more

watch out for unauthorized charge on your cradit card from this place

This place sux the bouncer (if you want to call him that) came over and said if you aren't gonna spend money or least keep a drink in your hand you gotta leave so when I begin questioning him cause I did spend money there he then kicked me out even my waitress tried asking him what was going on I guess the owner can't afford quality men for bouncers course to hear him tell it he runs a very professional bar lmao okayyyh!! Too many bad reviews to back him but enough to surely validate my story read more

If I could put no stars I would. I ordered a shrimp basket from this place and when I open my box they gave me 3 shrimp and a bunch of tots. Lady on the phone told me to call another time to talk to a manager because she doesnt know what to do, she offered to make me 3 more shrimp....but why do i need to drive 15 minutes just to get 3 shrimp?!! read more

The staff at cliffs is very poor no one seems to know what's going on there.If you don't mind your credit card being overcharged then this is the place for you. A charge was put on my card twice at cliffs even though we paid cash. The manager dis nothing to resolve this issue and it also happened to a friend of ours. BEWARE!!!!!!!!! read more

Local dive. Decent burgers, but very smokey in there.

I've mostly been in on Sunday afternoons or early evenings after work when it's usually an older local crowd. The employees have been nice, pretty helpful and attentive. I have eaten a few things and they were fresh and hot and a big portion of tater tots! I have enjoyed myself every time I've been there and I like that know one is rude or weird about the fact that I go there to read books or work on my computer as much as to talk. read more
