Only to find the most vibe forward loungey club I'd experienced before. It was a late Saturday night and I walked in without any idea where I was going, but I was pleased and shocked! The vibe was there and the noise was loud but I was still able to talk. Lots of people chatting in groups and a dj! The drinks were delicious but also was awesome it was connected to grape and grain! So it was a double win! Check this place out for sure

Once you walk past the bar there is a huge seating area in the back, weekends (i think) they have a DJ. Jazz the bartender was amazing! This is the perfect place to watch a Jags away game, grab a drink before the show or wind down after work. My go to is the medium spiced margarita, the Edinburgh scotch cocktail and a PBR & shot of fernet. Apparently the stuffed bear is real

Looking for a place to get a late-night drink, dessert, or light bite? Look no more...here it is!…read more Awesome find! Upfront, the St. Johns Provision Lounge should not be confused with the St. Johns Provision Co., which is a restaurant. They are in separate places within the Doubletree hotel: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/jaxjrdt-doubletree-jacksonville-riverfront/dining/ I went with a group of ladies on the River Taxi Sunset & City Lights tour (and no, that is not affiliated with this place). When we were done everyone wanted something...a drink, a dessert, a cup of coffee, a light bite, whatever. But there isn't much in this area...so we wandered into the Doubletree Hotel to ask what was around and VIOLA...we stumbled upon this place located in the lobby! This is a bar with some larger high-top tables. The menu is limited, as it normally is for a bar, but suitable for a late-night "anything". Our waiter, Hunter, was a one-man show and quite accommodating. Upfront Hunter informed us of what they were out of since it was so late...we understood and took what we could get! We were happy just to find a place to sit, relax, get something wet (a drink of some sort), and enjoy social time with friends. The bar started to fill up with others "looking" for something open and what a great crowd it turned out to be. No one knew each other but we laughed, talked, exchanged "where-froms", etc. What fun! It is nice to know this place exists! The vibe is pretty chill and groovy! I plan to go back during the day when they have more available on the menu. I'm just so happy I now know of this place. Woot! Hunter...Thank you for just being you! Note: There is a paid parking lot beside the hotel.

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a hookah lounge, and that says a lot for someone who doesn't smoke! The food here caught me by surprise in the best way possible! Not only was I super satisfied with the selection on the menu, but everyone ordered something different and we basically got to see a showcase of menu items. The lowest scoring menu item to us was still a 5.5 which is solid. I would highly recommend coming here, especially with friends. They have good music playing and service for us was a 10 out of 10. I was helped by Brodie and Korey and when I tell you guys they took such good care of us I mean it! Brodie was our bartender, he took the time to perfect each drink & always made sure we were topped off with refills! Korey took care of absolutely everything we could have asked for! From napkins to photos she was willing to do it all! I can't wait to come back here!!! Especially for those egg rolls!!

We made an impromptu stop in around 7:30. Initially, our service was great. She was attentive and…read moreaccommodating. We ordered drinks and hookah. Then as it started to get busier the service suffered. It seemed like she was the only server for the entire place. We had to ask for our coals to be changed 3x while watch her replace others who were there hours after us, she spilled a drink on one of us and attempted to charge us for a drink we did not order. Overall the vibes were cool but I don't think I would go back to spend my money there. Side note: the music and the Dj were great. Seems like a great place for late night

I found DJ Capone's birthday bash event on FB and invited some friends. DJ Q45 was a guest DJ which was a nice surprise! My friends and I danced nearly the entire time we were there in addition to sharing some cocktails. There were two VIP sections on stage near the DJ booth. It isn't that big, but size doesn't always matter lol! We found out they also have karaoke as well as live bands and a small menu of food. The bartenders were friendly and efficient! There were a few cocktail waitresses walking around taking orders at the stand-up tables. We started at a stand up table in front of the DJ booth. I liked the view! But we ended up finding a few seats at the bar. We had such a great time we are planning to go back this weekend. You should check them out!

(So check the Eventbrite). [Peep the scene before you pay the tax; no cap]. Regardless, the bottomless mimosas until 7pm was lit. The waitresses were very attentive at the bar and looked out when it came to mixing drinks. The hookah was great! No food. Food truck didn't show and I stayed for three hours... no food

In the evening, the place is pretty bright and then once the night goes on you start to see a lot of those blue lights. I have had the food here and it is pretty decent. I would say that I feel like they could improve on quality and just making sure that the orders are correct. I've been to the bar a few times and it is pretty nice. They also have different celebrities to come out in like a club like environment. I would say most of the people that do come to elevation lounge are more of the 30+ community. I would say one of the major issues that elevation needs to fix is the parking lot it is completely dark due to them not having a light outside because in that parking lot/venue they are the only business that's open so everything else is just blacked out and it is kind of hard to navigate to your car after you exit the lounge

Made reservations about a week in advance because it was Mother's Day weekend, prom season, and…read moregrad season. Free parking in the parking lot (though it gets fairly full). I enjoyed the food; however, I think some details were missing or off for the price point. For example, the rib eye was requested for medium temp; however, it was medium rare and very chewy. The broiled ocean platter was kind of skimpy for the price point, and the shrimp & lobster diavolo were pretty good (though lobster wasn't very tender and slightly rubbery). I also wasn't given a pasta spoon- so had slight difficulty eating it. It took quite a while for us to get our food, approx 45 minutes? Our waitress was very kind and checked in- but forgot the lemons I had asked for- for the waters. We had inputted in our reservation request to not be in the center- and we were sat in the middle; though, 80% of the tables were empty. So, all in all, it was good but for the price point, I had higher expectations.

Crystal is a fantastic server…read more Portions were HUGE. Had to take a lot of foid home because of the portion size. Enjoyed the vegan burger which seemed like mostly beets and black beans. Didnt mind that it fell apart while i ate it, because that's what homemade vegan burgers usually do. But dont order this messy item on a date. I held the sauce. They let me sub a HUGE side salad for the fries. Enjoyed the vanilla ice cream a lot but not the apple tart. The tart was 90 or 95% cinnamon bun and i could hardly find apples. Fruit tarts are usually more fruit than crust; thats what i expected. Apple cinnamon bun eould be a better description. Beautiful ambience indoors. Lots of parking behind the restaurant at 4 PM on a Friday.
