I was there for the oyster special, and for 50¢ oysters, they were actually pretty solid. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth it for the price. They also have buy-one-get-one margaritas, which is always a win. The drinks were well-made and paired perfectly with the laid-back midweek energy. As the night went on, the DJ started doing their thing and the whole atmosphere shifted...in a good way. It went from chill to a full-on vibe pretty quickly. Only downside? Parking can be a bit of a headache, especially once the crowd rolls in. So I'd definitely recommend getting there early if you can. Overall, a great Wednesday night spot if you're looking for good deals, good music, and a lively crowd. I'll definitely be back.

I had a watermelon mint hookah and it was really good. They keep the coals coming until you can't smoke anymore. The VIP booths around the venue are comfortable and intimate. There's a pool table too if you'd rather be up playing. The TVs were playing sports the whole time I was there so this would be a great spot to catch a game and relax. I love the photo op wall covered with flowers and the X Lounge sign.

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

I went when they had the house band, pretty good music, nice easy environment, wasn't too crowded…read more I don't drink so I can't speak for that, I came for the music. The house band is pretty good, a little bit on the young side, but they seem to get the job done. OK. After the house being played a set, they had a sit in sessions with various musicians, which is always nice. The atmosphere is subtle and quiet at least for a club. Location is great, and the staff seemed friendly. It's good to have a place in Jacksonville with an environment like this and a place where you can go and listen to jazz/blues. I wish there was more like this, maybe with a little bit of older, jazz, musicians and more people who appreciate jazz as it didn't seem like the audience was 100% jazz lovers, but that doesn't detract too much especially since there's not a lot of places in Jacksonville that do what they're doing here.

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!!

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

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

Also, if they have a shanty night in the future where they just played sea shanties and/or tavern music - I would absolutely throw down and attend while spending lots of money; just a suggestion. We will definitely be back.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best club experience, musically, I've had in years. I guess it's a bar but there's a small space to dance and it was like 40 amazingly remixed songs one after the other, I danced for 2 hours straight, I was soaking. You definitely work off whatever you drink! I came alone and met several people, it was so much fun. I can say with absolute certainty I will be back!! Also they check bags, for guns maybe? Not sure, but that's a positive. Don't need anybody killing the vibe, or some innocent people.
