Stopped in tonight for a drink with some friends. My friend and another patron were having a friendly conversation about how much they both love President Trump. Your bartender, Brandon, overheard and was clearly annoyed, so he intervened. He told them they weren't allowed to talk about politics in the bar. My jaw dropped. It was an amicable conversation between two people and he shut it down. Never in my life have I ever witnessed a bartender telling patrons what they can and cannot talk about. Then when my husband walked over to ask what his name was, he called him a bitch.. Will never return and will make sure no one I know ever does either. This was absolutely disgusting read more

We went when they were doing the Christmas themed bar, the week prior to Christmas, and I only wished they'd also had the back open since it got so full in the front, but it was a Sunday. Our bartender was lovely, the drinks were delicious and I enjoyed the variety in seasonal drink options. read more

This is officially my favorite bar in Jax. I'm sad to say I never came here in the 3 years I lived in the river city, because the cocktail menu here is absolutely wonderful. And prices are great to boot; I had a penicillin for only $11. Favorite cocktail, and it's not a common one. They also have dark horse favorites like a Pimm's cup, as well as a ton of selections of whiskey. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and fun. And obviously the secret back room is also great. 10/10 will be back read more

Love when they have bands and musicians in the back speakeasy room. The service at the bar in the back when an event is happening is great.

The best neighborhood bar in town! They have a speak easy in the back also. The staff is the best, very personable and they have some amazing cocktails here! This is what I call crafted cocktails! read more

What a fun concept! If you are looking to get in the Christmas spirit check them out. A holiday pop up like no other. Decked out with lights, garland and Xmas trees. They have a specialty cocktail list with the Christmapolition being my fav. You can event purchase their fun decorative cups for a small fee (part of which goes to charity). Outside seating as well as 2 rooms inside. Back room does not open till 6pm. Masks required inside until you are seated. read more

Opening bartender was amazing. By himself working hard, communicating and doing everything he could. I can't speak for the entire second shift, but one male bartender with glasses basically appeared like he gave zero.... Couldn't hear didn't care placed your drinks on the bar, even though you were not at the bar never communicated with you. It feels like he was running a toll booth read more

So disappointed in our experience with G&G. Hubby and I got a rare date night out, so decided to check out the highly desired Christmas pop up at Grape and Grain. The ambiance was what we expected on a packed week day night, however the service and drinks left much to be desired. We both ordered an $18 craft cocktail off the holiday menu. The bartender then proceeded to take 2 other orders and make all 6 drinks at once. He was legit dumping a bunch of random pre made stuff into shot glasses and then into our cute holiday cups. Both of our drinks were disgusting, didn't taste anything like what we had ordered, and we ended up leaving $42 worth of nasty concoctions on the table and walked out. The bar was packed and it wasn't worth waiting to complain and have drinks re made. We left with nothing but a cute picture. read more

.5 stars, waited 30+ minutes for a drink. There were 2 bartenders on a Saturday night, one was flirting with the bar back, one lined up 10 drinks he had to make and mixed them all wrong. We came for the Christmas vibes but only heard the DJ play for 15 minutes in the 1.5 hours we were there. Was flashed and harassed by some swingers on drugs, all in front of a manager with a headset. The bathroom smelled absolutely rancid, the girls before us came out apologizing and warning us. Honestly you could not pay me to return. read more

Okayyyyyy this is my new spot. :) Grape and Grain has a "speakeasy" called the Parlor in the back that has live music throughout the week. Our first impression was a little offputting, but after going back I am hooked. I first visited on a Wednesday for music while my parents were visiting. The space is beautiful! Comfortable lounge seating and dim lighting. We browsed the cocktail menu on our phones after scanning the qr code. I went up to order while my group grabbed a booth. The drinks took literally 20 minutes to make. The bartender took my order and then I realized he was making another group's four drinks. A girl came in and he quickly poured her a glass of wine, and at another point he was full on sitting in a booth with a group of girls while I was still waiting at the bar. He then asked what my order was again. I was frustrated, but the drinks were delicious and so reasonably priced. I saw many people go to the front room of Grape and Grain to order drinks and come back while I was still waiting. Noted! We really enjoyed the cocktails and the music. We decided to visit the front part of the bar on Saturday night and had a way better experience. The bartenders were hustling. Our drinks were made in 5 minutes and we found a couch in the back of the parlor to sit. They had a dj and played super fun music. I loved my dirty martini and can't wait to go back for one of their wine tastings or on another Saturday night to dance! read more

Always a fun atmosphere and the speakeasy and music in the back is always a good time! Drinks are tasty

I've been here multiple times and it's a neighborhood favorite spot although recently I have not been drinking alcoholic drinks and it is great to find a place that offers options other than water and soda I think this is a great option for those looking to go out and have a nice time and also enjoy a good drink that doesn't have alcohol. The crowd here is normally atleast early thirties so it's an older crowd which is nice music is always good especially on weekends in the back or a good place to watch a game during the week on the screen in the front bar the bar tenders late very nice and fast too. This is definitely my favorite going out place in San marco read more

Been here a couple of times. On the weekends they have DJ and the back room is more of a party room and in the front is more like a bar. It can get very crowded at times and a line forms outside to get in. When you go in the evenings or weekend sometimes it's hard to get a drink... I went there last week after work for happy hour and it was great not to crowded. It was a nice place to sit have a drink and have a convo read more

First off if you are like me and have not been to Grape & Grain in a while it is no longer a true speak easy, it is still located behind the book case but you do not need a password to get in. Grape & Grain is a very unique bar and perfect for the location, it has a speakeasy vibe and great drinks! I love a bar where true attention was paid to every detail in order to create the perfect atmosphere and experience. The bartenders were very nice and helpful in making suggestions, they also have a great specialty drink menu. I ordered vodka drink, I believe it was the Cogito Ergo Plum, which was incredible! All of the drinks looked fun so I don't really think you could go wrong. I don't live close but I would make a special trip to grab a drink here, it is also so close to many good restaurants. read more

This bar is actually a two for one :). There is the main bar in front which is bright and airy with lots of windows. The bar tenders are very friendly and pour wonderful cocktails with an excellent array of quality spirits. I was overjoyed with my Mai Tai to start the night. The real draw is the speakeasy in the back! Again fantastic bartending makes this a top spot. They are well versed in mixology and even more less well known cocktail orders are met with "oh yeah we can do that". Topping it off are live bands on Friday nights and a DJ on Saturday's. Lots of couches and plush chairs for friends or a date. Definitely a fantastic venue for a full evening. read more

Popped in here to have a quick after dinner cocktail and I just love this little place it's small but they have a great liquor selection if you're looking to buy a bottle and I love how the seasonal cocktails change up.

Such a festive scene!.. If you don't feel the holiday spirit go there and ask for a Yippie Ki YAY Mother&@'$;/! You will be spreading the Christmas cheer in no time. Please arrive early parking is a nightmare We spent 30 mins riding around in circles hoping for a good spot. We chose this place for happy hour but there were a lot of people and Only 2 bartenders. My bartender kinda looked like Taylor Swift she stayed calm under pressure and made the drinks with precision. There's another bar in the back near the live band.Seasons Greetings! read more

We went to G&G for the Miracle pop up and were not disappointed with the service, drinks or atmosphere. The bartender was alone, and working so fast to keep up with the orders from the specialty menu, which were intricate drinks. She stayed friendly, and handled it perfectly. Thankfully, the crowd is a friendly one there, and the atmosphere relaxed. There isn't much space, and tables and chairs are few, but it's a great place to stop in and buy from the big selection or grab a drink. read more

Had such an awesome experience here! Jacksonville's cocktail scene is pretty lackluster so I honestly didn't have very high expectations for G&G E. I am grateful to be wrong! Every cocktail was unique and I was really surprised by their complexity. We tried pretty much every cocktail on the menu and there really wasn't one that missed the mark. Every drink also had it's own festive glass or vessel. My personal favorite was the Christmas Cricket which featured mint and pandan! Definitely a combination I've never had before and certainly not in a cocktail! Bartenders were great and were very interactive with patrons despite being very busy. The place was brimming with Christmas decorations and I loved how over-the-top it was. I can't wait to return for their next theme! read more

What a nice intimate place to hang out! The front of the establishment had all kinds of liquor for sale and you may have been able to get a drink too!?! But the action was in back thru a narrow passage aka "speak easy" room. I hear they even have live music sometime. The place is small and seating was spaced, all help wore mask but your group did not have to. Apparently Angel Envy Bourbon is sponsoring a drink passport to different places around town for you to go in and order a "special" drink and #toast the trees, upload to your social media and during Sept. Bourbon Heritage Month they'll plant a tree in Kentucky, for the barrels! Bourbon barrels can only be used once then they are sent to Scotland for scotch making (so I was told). The drink here was Plum Wrong and it was delicious! This was a fun unofficial Yelp event! read more

The worst service I've ever experienced at a bar. It's as if the staff was intentionally moving as slow as possible making drinks in protest of the christmas pop up. Spending 10 minutes to make 1 drink. And taking shots s a group rather than serving customers. So horrible. read more

Attended the April Wine Tasting at Grape & Grain with my niece. Before I begin commenting, we both had a lovely time and met some nice people. We went thinking, because of how it was advertised, that we would gain insight on how different wines paired with different cheeses. That is not what happened. We tasted 5 different wines and during the course of the tasting heard interesting information about the different wines. Did we like all 5? No. But, it was more due to our palate than the wine. What did not happen was a cheese with each wine and why they paired well. We did get very small pieces of 3 different cheeses, a couple of crackers, and some almonds. Nothing was said about the cheeses. I asked a couple who we met there what they thought was to happen. They, too, thought it was how certain wines paired with various cheeses. Am I glad I went? Yes. It was a lovely evening, just not what I was expecting. Grape and Grain has a very nice atmosphere to sit and talk while enjoying an adult beverage. It is a gem in the San Marco area. My rating is due to how the event was portrayed and parking. Just be aware that the parking sucks big time! read more

Cute bar but during nights & weekends they need less people in. You have to scoot past people to move. The front and back bar only had 2 bartenders working at a time, the bars are short in length, and for some reason have seating along them so to get up and order is very awkward and timely. It took probably 30 minutes each time to order a drink which wastes a lot of your night. Also, the workers were extremely slow at making drinks and literally took five mins to put ice in the cup (which takes up 3/4 of the cup, so by the time you try to enjoy yourself, you have already finished the drink u waited forever and realize u need to get in line again). The rest of the staff seemed very rude/ pissed or intoxicated, after finally getting to order, they messed it up both times. Even if it was 3 of the same drinks (which costs 60 dollars) they forget one. One of the times when telling the bartender she forgot the 3rd drink she had an attitude and said she would have to come back to it, made it 15 minutes later while we waited at the bar. We left after this. Also single bathroom in the front has a horrendous smell like nothing anyone has ever experienced all I can describe it as what I would imagine a rotten corpse and a room full of people with BV. The back bathroom, one male& one female, was fine though all the men were using the single female toilet while the mens was empty entire time read more
