Who doesn't live a great dive bar. Celebrating my 18 days of Birthday was a great place to wrap up my Birthday tour. I am not sure how I never visited Sherwood before today. The bar is massive with games, tvs and an outside venue. Drinks are delicious and bartenders attentive! read more

It was not busy, but friendly. Music played on the speaker and the game rooms were available. It seems to be a great spot for get togethers and games among friends. I didn't order food but had a Cougar Juice White sangria that was fruity and a little sweeter than I prefer. read more

Sneaky good place. The window tint will fool you but they're probably open. I had the best time just watching football games and chatting with Doryan. The vibe is chill. You want to play pool? There's a room with tables. The best part of the room? They are separated from the main bar so people won't be crowding your shots. Darts? Same thing! The place is massive but the vibes are exquisite. There's not food during all business hours but I'm going back to try the food truck that's out back. Even without this, I'd highly recommend this bar if you're nearby. read more

To start we go there often, however this evening the doorman was rude and nasty. His tone was so bad we decided to leave. Maybe training is required or new doorman. read more

I miss the dirty five that it used to be, but it is just more tame now! Always come back when I visit town! Love to see it's still here years later! read more

Came to Sherwood's and had a great experience. Our bartender name was Brandon and he was super friendly and i look forward to seeing him again. read more

Saturdays are the best because of Collin! I've been doing karaoke for years and karaoke with Collin is absolutely my favorite. He's got a great selection of songs, has a great playlist in-between, and keeps things moving quickly! The bartenders are amazing and the service is so quick. read more

Collion's karaoke night is the best! We come every week and we will keep coming as long as Collin is doing his thing!

Interesting, punique, hole-in-the-wall tucked away in downtown Jax... It has a variety of specials Sun-Sat. It is a clean place, and it has affordable prices. The bartender is very friendly. The only reason that I gave a four-star rating is it is SUPER SMOKY inside. PS - There is a small collection of pinball and video games along with a pool table! read more

I didn't even know this place existed! How cool was this Saturday afternoon spot. We had a couples double date - played darts and shot some pool. This place was perfect to hang out and play the Juke box. The bartenders were also great! We didn't try the food - just drinks. read more

Sherwood’s - a man standing at the bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I love coming here for karaoke, but EVERY SINGLE TIME the DJ takes a 5-10 minute break between songs!!!! He needs to be fired.

Sherwoods is so nice! I love this place. It is big and roomy with plenty of space to relax with friends. It is clean and doesn't smell which is a plus. Service is friendly and quick and the drinks are tasty read more

We walked into Sherwoods and was immediately asked for IDs. Mind you, we have been going to this bar since the 90s and I've never been carded here. Nonetheless, I understood and showed my drivers license. No problem. We are all in our mid-forties but go ahead. My cousin has an expired ID and the temporary paper replacement in hand as well. She tells him she cannot accept it. An official paper from the Government? Okay cool. We went elsewhere and had a great night. read more

walked in for a water to go before i died of dehydration from skate boarding. the short white older guy says he is not allowed lmao. i left and called and a lady answered, said she could give me a water. THANK YOU TO THE BEAUTIFUL LADY and as for the man.... you should do better at your grown age. find a different place to work if you're not even gonna ask someone what theyre wanting to drink when they ask for one. only giving a 2 stars bc the lady was very nice and pleasant this review is for the man read more

Great place to have some drinks for football. Pork rinds and specialty drinks are really good.

Great service and Awesome Cheese Burgers Very inexpensive as well. Great place to relax after a long day at work. read more

Warri's gas lit me into another persons tan by printing out a made up tab and yelling at the whole bar to be against me where paying my real tan was not worth the convenience of paying my real tab read more

Popped in few drinks with a friend. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and killer appetizers! Very good drink prices

Great remodel after the hurricane, amazing staff and the second best trivia in Jacksonville! Plus they have The Stable now!!!

Oh my goodness, I just loooove this bar. The prices are so reasonable. The selection is sufficient. The staff is friendly. It's so clean! The patio is adorable. No points for chicken, as they don't have any. But you can get so affordably drunk that you'll forget all about the poultry deficit. But if they have Pineapple High Noon in stock, please don't order it. That's my favorite drink and I hate to share. read more

Best bar in Jacksonville! Bartenter was Marianne, very knowledgeable and made me feel at home like it was my local neighborhood spot. The world would be a better place with more people like her in it. read more

Sherwoods is a great spot, beautiful inside after the remodel, sports on the TVs, pool tables, darts, pinball, great drink specials, and a friendly staff. read more

If you're the sort of person who like a good bar -- I mean a real bar, not some sissy joint with fancy lighting, obscure techno music and a martini menu -- then Sherwoods is the place for you. Serving what are by far the strongest drinks in town, Sherwoods is one of the last places where you can do the sort of things that you are supposed to be able to do at a bar -- drink stiffies, smoke incessantly, listen to the jukebox and shoot pool. If you're into mojitos, cosmos or some other similar crap that the gals on Sex in the City drink, don't bother. Sherwoods is not a place to see and be seen -- its a place to go when you want to get drunk. Which is the kind of place I like. Basically, if an old pal asks you if you'd like to go out and get plowed, there's only one acceptable response -- "Sher -wood!" read more

Sherwood's might be the best thing I don't remember about Jacksonville. Whenever my coworkers and I are in Jax, this is the place we go after the office. Some of us have, at various times: gotten so drunk we fell out of a chair, grabbed the behind of a stripper named sugar, played one game of pool for hours because we were too wasted to get a ball into a pocket. This place is kind of skeevy. In the best possible way. I like martinis and urbanity and other things eschewed by other reviewers (and likely patrons). But I also like a good ole' watering hole and that's what Sherwood's is. Nothing more, nothing less and just right. read more

dad was in ICU in giant hospital next door recovering from brain surgery- heavy s#$t... I needed a waterinhole and great people- and they're all here behind a blue-green neon sign- Giant rooms of forgotten bar sports/video games - smoke-laced carpet, and some of the heaviest pours . If you love dives and soul/real people thet can drink and not soulless Bistro snobs- you need Sherwoods... i'll be back read more

Whenever you are looking for something to do and no one can decide....Sherwood's it is! SUPER CHEAP DRINKS, pool, darts, a juke box that the patrons don't try to play speed metal on, friendly bartenders, nudey photo hunt. I mean, what more does one look for in a bar? Sherwood's is definitely a hole in the wall bar that would attract some regulars, you wouldn't feel out of place having a beer by yourself at the bar but I recommend bringing your favorite crowd with you. Sherwood's doesn't hold you to some standard, come as is and have some fun. A fair warning: it's a bar, no food, so it can get smokey. I don't smoke at all and Sherwood's is still worth it. I happen to think (besides me when I lived there) that Sherwood's is the best thing about San Marco. (; read more

This is the standby place my cousins and I visit when we are home in Jacksonville. Cheap drinks, and always good place to escape from the fact you are home for two weeks and have family overload. Downside...you will want to shower immediately upon leaving...You can still smoke indoors in some places in Florida! read more

While it doesn't hold the special spot in my heart that St. Nick's does, its hard to argue that Sherwood's isn't one of the better straight up bars that Jacksonville has to offer. Smokey, dimmly lit and packed to the gills, this is place to go when you're serious about your drinking. There isn't a lot to distract you here, a few tv's, pool tables, and an often scruffy [but friendly] crowd--actually there's a lot of fun to be had here now that I think about it. The downside for me is definitely the smoke, which can get a little overpowering when its crowded. Its really not the suffocating, eye burning kind of smoky, but its enough to discourage me when its crowded. That being said, I've had some amazing times here and will probably have many more. If you're looking for the most fun/least pretension ratio in town, Sherwood's is in strong contention to top the list. read more

Excellent. Just went there for the first time last night and it's called Slurwood's for a reason. Cheap, strong drinks that get you good and schwasty are always nice. Would recommend for anyone, whether in a group of friends or going alone as a sad, underachieving alcoholic. read more

I ordered a rum and coke here and they really emphasized the rum in their concoction. The service was prompt as I didn't have to wait long for any drink I ordered. Sherwood's has a lot of pool tables, a jukebox, and video games to help break up conversation. However, Sherwood's does allow smoking inside so there was a permanent haze of cigarette smoke along with a smell of mental that pierced the nostrils. I'll visit again simply for the pool and stiff drinks. read more

If you a r already drunk as he'll this place will still serve you. Are they that hard up for money or just looking to have the license taken away? read more

Great place for drinks and pool. Very clean. Friendly bartenders and patrons. Drink specials were also marvelous.

Seeing as I am a regular, I might be a bit biased. However, when I can get a stiff drink that does not break the piggy bank, I am a happy customer. The only downside (which my friends consider a plus) is the indoor smoking but that is more preferential. It's nice to be able to walk in any night of the week and see someone I know. Low-key and definitely a chill place to go and relax after a hard day at work! If you want a strong drink and no drama, come get lost in the 'woods! read more

Charlie is the best bartender! Stiff drinks, unbeatable prices, and a friendly crowd. Those of you fussing about the smoke, they now have Smoke Out machines so the air is cleaner and not as bad. As a non-smoker, it only made me love Sherwoods more! read more
