    My sexy husband enjoying some pool!
    Sarah C.

    Being new to the area my husband and I were looking to find "Our" bar! You know what I mean, the kind of bar where you feel at home. My criteria is simple. Have a pool table, a jukebox, affordable drinks, and good vibes. We walked into Locals and knew we had found it! Great pool tables. They have TouchTunes as well. That's important! Gotta have a little ZZ Top while I scratch again. They do Happy Hour everyday and it makes us stay longer than we would. Bartenders are great! They remember you and always strike up a conversation. So definitely come check out Locals! You'll love it here!

    Nice patio!

    I needed a place to wait for some friends and located this place as closeby on Yelp.I was undecided at first do to the fact as we have a locals by my house and it's not a place I hang at alone but as I turned the corner at the fence opening to Locals and I was wowed immediately by the patio which was sizeable with fire pits and benches which said this is a cool place to be. As I walked inside and scoped the place it was so lengthy in size. Cute cubie style tables and a long bar with a huge chicken at the end. As you proceed down the area it does a quick left and there are several nice looking pool tables. First thing I noticed was..no smoke from smokers? I was happy. The bar keep was a master multi tasker and handled the bar well. You could tell he had been doing it for a while! The happy hour lasted until 8 and the drinks were Very generourous. Locals..a place I'll stop back by for!

    Locals is a pretty nice place. It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. We went the night before July 4th so there was a very patriotic group of loud women that were clearly having a great time. We were happy the DJ cranked up the music to drown them out a little. There was a giant white cock (see pictures) that turned into a jungle gym with those Patriotic ladies. I recommend not playing pool at the billiard table next to the cock. He sure gets a lot of attention. He created a high traffic area. There are a total of 4 pool tables, so that was where we stayed. Our bartender was fantastic and Locals has a decent selection of wine and spirits. I didn't venture to the very back of the place but from the Billard area, it appeared to be a country club with a stage. The restroom was clean, the staff was nice and the place seemed pretty clean too. We will definitely go back. It was nice finding a place like this in Fernandina.

    First time last night at this super fun bar! One side is country (Sadler Ranch) for live music and other side (Locals) with DJ and pool tables. Very laid back, dancing and great drinks. Staffs all very friendly...only down side is this place is 45 minutes drive from Jax. Would totally recommended to anyone out in Fernandina/Amelia area.

    Delicious hand crafted cocktails and friendly bar staff- half-off happy hour daily until 8pm. Plenty of TV to catch the game. There's a selection of Miss Vicky's potatoe chips otherwise no food. Large patio is friendly to all smokers.

    You won't be disappointed ! Best cocktail lounge on the Island!

    Exceptional Service That Turned a Mishap into a Great Memory…read moreI recently had an issue with a thoughtful gift certificate my son sent me for The Boat House. In a moment of clumsiness, I accidentally deleted the email and thought it was gone for good. I reached out in desperation, and to my surprise, manager Colin personally stepped in. He contacted corporate right away and made sure the gift certificate was resent to me promptly. That kind of care and follow-through is rare these days, and it speaks volumes about the family-oriented, customer-first culture at The Boat House. It made me even more excited for our next visit. Thank you, Colin, and the whole team -- you've gained a loyal customer and turned what could have been a frustrating situation into one that highlights why The Boathouse stands out. Highly recommend!

    We just had a drink and a snack so I can't give much of a review on the food, but the bartender was…read moregreat. She was super personable and fun. We had the Bleu Cheese chips which were really good. They are homemade potato chips bathed in a delicious queso and sprinkled with bleu cheese crumbles. A perfect companion to my prosecco. I took the picture after we ate quite a few of the chips. It's a big portion. I'd definitely like to come back to try some of the other items on the menu.
