Review is for SIP, the rooftop bar and is based on three different visits all with varying crowd sizes. We've been there when it was just us, we've been there when it was a raging DJ party and we've been there when a Jags game is on. For me, every experience is based on setting your expectations. I'm an old man now and I've been in all of this situations one million times previously. So I don't go into a raging DJ situation ready to get my phone out and start writing a review to state "the music was just too darn loud!". I also don't go there during a Jags game just to write a review that says "I had to wait a long time for a drink....can you even believe it??". Was the music loud? Yep. Was the wait really long during the Jags game? You better believe it. We went in expecting those things though because that's how the real world works. The drinks are great. The bar is nice, the staff is cool and you can't beat the views. Sounds like a good deal to me. read more

Fun place to take the wife and her friends. Had and awesome time celebrating her friends birthday. The DJ had the music booming. I don't really drink alcohol but the bartender was nice to get me a drink that was not too strong and tasted amazing. read more

I recently checked out SIP on an early Saturday afternoon while taking a day trip to Jacksonville. I quickly came across SIP via Tik Tok. The rooftop was alot of fun for a birthday celebration. They have a full bar and a wide variety available on the drink menu. I ordered a lemon drop and it was really good. It's a really cute space for a nice river view and other photo opportunities. They have on-street parking available for a fee. Unfortunately, they do not offer an elevator so be prepared to walk up 3 flights of stairs for the rooftop scene. I will definitely be back! read more

Decca Live was a great (small) venue! I love that there are two bars (one upstairs & one downstairs). It is located next to several other hot spots in town. Side note: Food is not available for purchase. Only downside: There is no restroom downstairs (men or women). read more

Decca Live - Music Venues Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This review is specifically for the rooftop bar. We visited on a Saturday afternoon. Stairs only to the rooftop; I'm not sure if there's an elevator. The atmosphere was chill with no music, or at least I don't recall. We found a spot without shade to sit, which was sunny until the sun went behind the Hyatt. More shade would have been nice, but they had a decent beer selection. It's not as spacious as the rooftop at Hoptinger in 5 Points, and they don't offer any games. Just thought I'd mention that. read more

I went to Decca Live to see Steve Aoki. The space is intimate with bars on every corner. Although the space is small there was space for me to move during the concert. The graphics and lighting is well done. The bathroom is upstairs where there is more standing space. The location is in the downtown area with plenty of parking. I would see another concert at this location. read more

What a great night at Decca live! The drinks were fabulous, the vibes were good. A really gorgeous club. Service was friendly. This venue is 2 floors: There are restrooms on both levels. on the ground floor, the bar is to the left (facing the stage). on level 2 the bar is at the top of the stairs closest to the street. read more

Ok i had A BLAST at Decca for the Pauly D show! I was skeptical being in my (cough) 40s, and reading other reviews ahead of time. But I felt safe & comfortable & danced all night long! Getting drinks was super quick- stuck to beers & seltzers, prices as expected for a trendy scene. Line at the front door was quick & efficient too. Enjoyed watching pauly d from the 2nd floor mezzanine- i didnt find it too loud or too crowded. Pauly had so much energy and a huge smile during his set. Went with 2 girlfriends and made other gal pals that night. 100% will go back read more

Not a safe space. We were so disappointed with the new venue in Jax. Would not recommend to anyone I know! read more

Decca Live - Music Venues Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Had the opportunity to check out this venue to see a concert this past Thursday night! Parking is anywhere you can find it since it's downtown. The venue itself is intimate and the staff was friendly. There are two floors - the bottom is the main area and the top has vantage points around the perimeter looking down. There is standing only in both the bottom and top floors , with a few high tables scattered around to put your drinks on, so wear comfortable shoes. (There were a few small roped off couch areas along the sides which I think cost additional money). There is a bar downstairs and upstairs- both serve only bottled/canned beverages- $25 for two beers, including tax and tip. There bathrooms upstairs. I would recommend you go with friends if going to a night time show, since there were several outspoken characters outside as we left who were yelling to give money and I would have been nervous for sure if I had been by myself and felt unsafe walking to my car which was quite a bit of a walk. Overall, a good experience and an excellent show. read more

Great venue for music! I've seen multiple DJs here now and it's always a great time. Bars upstairs and downstairs, places to get away from the crowd if needed, and overall great service. Sip lounge on the rooftop is also a great place to pre or just hangout regardless! read more

This was a nice venue for a concert but was overcrowded and difficult to get a beverage.

Let me start by saying, I have been looking forward to attending an event at Decca Live. I rallied the troops and six of us got together and purchase tickets the day of the bingo Loco event. Purchasing the tickets was very simple. It was a little unclear what time the event actually began. Most places stated 5 to 930 but then said to come an hour early for a drink. Once we arrived, we realize that having a drink at SIP was not actually entering the venue, but going upstairs to a separate location. So we arrived quite early Looking forward to getting in early to get a good seat only to find out we couldn't enter until 5 o'clock. Ultimately we were able to get in early in the line and they had plenty of staff checking IDs and taking tickets throughout the line without waiting until you reach the door. Once inside the chaos ensued. This venue was slam packed with foldable tables covered with black table covers that were extremely large for the table sizes. The table covers were all tangled in the legs of the chairs, and the table legs which made it difficult to maneuver. there was absolutely no space between the tables and the flimsy folding chairs that lined the entire floor area of the venue. Having arrived early with nobody even seated, we had to climb over chairs and remove some to even be able to get to a selected seat. We were wise enough to sit close to the bar without a row of tables beside us on one side, but then we had all of the bar traffic hitting us and squeezing by us pushing our chairs. If you were seated anywhere else in the venue once you were seated, there was literally no way out. The entire time all I could imagine was what would happen if there was an emergency or a fire in this venue. it would've been a complete and utter disaster. The concept of the bingo locco was fun and exciting but if you watched videos, there was a lot of dancing going on, which was not possible in this venue. You could not even push your chair back to stand up. I thought the way the bingo cards were set up was pretty cool because every number they called was on the card somewhere. However, for the cost of the tickets there could've been more prizes given to more people and/or better prizes. For the most part, everyone that attended was a good sport about being crammed in to the venue. I'm glad we tried it out but I would definitely not attend this particular or similar events at this venue. read more

We have been super excited for this venue to open and it's been either great or crappy experiences. First was a dj in Feb. great dj and everything seemed to run smoothly. They just needed to work on sound system but it was their third week open. The 2nd floor bartender told us that if we had an open tab it was only for that floor but 1st floor bartender said open tab can be used at any bar any floor. So that was confusing. 2nd time was for Trapt concert. I won tickets. It was originally supposed to be at Decca and then last minute it was moved next door to justice bar. And it was a NOON-6 concert. Did Decca inform anyone on their socials or website it was moved? NO. They said last minute it was a NOON concert and then we went to TRAPT's Facebook and that's where we saw the location had been moved. I contacted Decca 3 different ways to get clarity and also to make sure my tickets I won were still valid. They finally answered my email, said my name would be on the list with doorman and when we got to the door the doorman had no clue. I had to bring up my email even though they said our name would be on the list. Not organized very well. There was maybe 40 ppl max at this show. 3rd time was James Kennedy - he was awesome. Performed for I think about 90 mins. Some of the crowd sucked but that's not Decca's fault. 4th visit was for last night. Juicy J's "performance". I've been to kids storytimes that have last longer. It was maybe 20 mins. Waited 3 hrs for him to come on and we got 20mins. I also feel that there is less security on the floor than before. We witnessed two girls almost fight. Thankfully the crowd took care of it. Also saw and dealt with quite a few ppl who were overly intoxicated before 12:30. They couldn't stand up without falling into ppl. Hurt a few ppl around them falling over. No security in sight to flag them down for help. Also there were people smoking (not vaping or hookah) inside on the floor. they only have one set of bathrooms upstairs which is odd and not a lot for that big of a Venue. read more

Great music, great vibes, amazing drinks! Very clean and bartenders are always nice. They always make sure to have fun events on the weekends and good djs so it's always full of energy. read more

Purchased tickets to see Steve aoki tonight. Stood in line for a solid hour. Got searched/wanded. Next guy was scanning tickets. I was told my tickets were fraudulent because I purchased them from stubhub. Then he told us to move out the line with out any explanation. Once standing outside the rope, he ordered some other guy to come remove our wristbands. It was extremely awkward and frustrating. I'll never go to this establishment again. read more

Tucked downtown at 323 E Bay St, Decca Live is a game-changer for Jacksonville's nightlife. This sleek, multi-level concert venue--with rooftop bar--offers everything you'd want in a modern entertainment space. Highly recommend! read more

Exactly what Jacksonville has been missing. The club is well thought out and the rooftop bar is nothing short of amazing. Great vibes and great talent. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is a dress code for Fridays, but it's clearly explained on their website. Management is great. The GM, Bri, on several occasions has checked on my group and I to make sure the night is going well! read more

Poor customer service and no clear instructions on dress code for their sip lounge. Was instructed to look on the website for dress code instructions but on 06/07/25 at 11:21 pm there was no update on website. After speaking to the WF blonde hair she mentioned after the fact they will update their business page. Poor experience. read more

Service was ridiculous. We stood at bar. Yes they were busy but we're standing there patiently waiting and people coming up after us and getting served first. After the 3rd incident. We left. Came to the Irish Pub next door and service was FABULOUS. I will drop my money here!! Enjoy your $3 tip vs our $50 tip !! read more

This place definitely gives Jacksonville to say the least. Their bottle prices are more than much nicer clubs I've been to. Wouldn't go here again. read more

The venue Jax needed finally delivered. Great sound system, great vibe, best rooftop in town.

My friend came out from NY specifically to see 50 cent live. On top of that, we drove from Georgia to Florida and waited on a 40 min line to enter in the concert. We had a paid 400$ for these tickets on seat geak. Long story short, we werent allowed entry BY security because my friend was wearing a G-Unit jersey with no sleeves. There was absolutely no mention of a dress code when we purchased the ticket. Never again. Tried to talk to several people in charge and the best advice they gave was to drive to walmart and get a new shirt. Which was also another 40 min away, which would also mean we'd miss the show. read more

Decca Live is the ultimate concert vibe! VIP bottle service is top-tier--huge shoutout to Shemila and Aly for being so attentive and amazing. Rafael the club promoter keeps the energy on point, and security (especially Alex) is super friendly and professional. Don't miss their rooftop bar, SIP--it's the perfect pre-show hangout, especially during Sunday Service on Thursdays and Sundays. Great music, great people, unforgettable nights! read more

This place is new, but they definitely have an idea of what they want their vibe to be. Pretty sure they're homophobes. Got kicked out for being "too drunk" after one or two drinks. It's very pick and choose. This is far from Miami, please don't front like your somewhere your not. read more

Bingo Locco was overrated. Info all stated to be on time at 5 PM. Arrived at 5:10 PM, so were thinking we would be late, and didn't start til 6:30 PM. People packed in like sardines- not sure how they make much money when you can't even get up to get a drink and there is no food. Took another hour to get through the first round. Who were we waiting on? Or was it just unorganized? Could have been fun without the 1.5 hour wait to get started and if they moved things along. read more

this bar sucks, if you've had a few drinks don't even be ther coming here. it's my birthday and the stupid bald bouncer just denied me entry, just because what , i was "swaying". don't even try to come here this bar sucks,. read more

This was an absolute horrible experience, not just because the music but more on the service. The reason why is because I wasn't allowed to get a soda or even a Sprite at all if I wanted to Shirley Temple they will put it in a Red Bull. Can they don't sell cans of Coke or cans of Sprite or any soft drinks that are in a can They won't do it which actually is really horrible so if you're 18 in order, do not go until you're 21 and over so they serve you basically ordering through 21 and over and basically you're not allowed to drink anything read more

My friends and I bought our tickets at 1:30 and were told they no longer are allowing anyone in regardless of whether they bought a ticket or not. Not to mention this club uses a third party for ticket management and of course there's a no refund policy and nonexistent customer support. Bouncers at the front told us they don't even accept card or cash. So if you want to avoid getting scammed out of $30 I would avoid this place. read more
