The regulars are always here on the weekdays and there is always a bustling crowd on the weekends. The bartenders are all awesome! They'll make you feel welcome the moment you enter. The vibe is divey, but homey all in one...you'll have a good time here with a great whiskey and tap selection! They have live music going on now on Thursdays. Friday night is poker night. Bring your good luck charm to Island Girl Taproom. They have plenty of game machines from darts to gambling to golf simulator to good old fashioned pool. I cannot say enough about the bartender Chris who works hard behind the bar to make sure everyone's drink is full. He is one of the best bartender's I have ever met. Play some country music on the Touchtunes and you'll have an instant first name basis friend. He keeps everyone in line and having a good time!

We had a great afternoon / evening experience when we met up with firends at Island Girl Cigar Bar…read morein Mayport. They were there to watch the Jags game and I was there to hang out with friends plus provide moral support if needed. This was only our second time ever hanging out at an Island Girl, but we had a blast. The place is very big with everything you could need: darts and a lot of pool tables for everyone else along with Golden Tee Golf for us. They don't serve food (of course) but The Hanger Bay Cafe and Simply Tasty Thai are right in the same plaza, so you can have great food brought to you. The waitstaff was awesome, the people hanging out were cool and the place has a lot to do. So we're really happy we went. On a side note: Football is not my thing. At all. So I rarely ever watch a whole game. In short what I'm saying is; you're welcome for that Jags win. I'm guessing they knew it was a special occasion when I watch and played extra well

I had a great evening here tonight due to the great food selection, service, & street side view of…read morethis restaurant. It's definitely one of my new favorite people watching spots. As for the food? The berry salad was alright, but very light on the dressing- which made it slightly dry and the bitter arugula taste stand out. But my waitress did bring extra dressing so I ended up enjoying it. The Peaches & Cream fried green tomatoes were delicious- way more tomato than I expected in the best possible way! I feel like it should be named fried green tomatoes on the menu with the cheese and peaches left in the description. The Ahi tuna with ginger noodles was also fantastic! The noodles on the dish were actually the highlight of the whole meal. The only thing I felt really was not worth the money was the crab macaroni- which for $18 was a very basic velveeta adjacent mac with a very thin, crusty layer of shredded crab on top. In sum: the food is good, but it's definitely at a premium.

I guess Sunday brunch…read moreis their thing but it was also nice just being on the rooftop alone and yapping up a storm not worrying about being too loud! I was worried it would be too hot but the fans and the breeze up there made it nice. The food was delicious - the French Toast plate was massive! Everyone loved their meals (a few not pictured) and we got "Breakfast Bubbz" for the table: a bottle of sparkling and your choice of juices. In my opinion, a little overpriced for a very traditional brunch and nothing that knocked my socks off, but still a great brunch spot and close by Lemon Bar & Pete's to hit up after being a little tipsy from the bubbly

Part of our recent weekend plan was to make a stop at Dragonfly Lounge in Neptune Beach. They're on…read morethe southside of Atlantic just past the flyover. This is a place we wanted to get to for a while and finally did some time late last year. My wife originally bought some of their CBD oil online for our elderly Doberman (Troy) and it helped him out a LOT. So when she needed more, we just drove over to get it. We've always had really nice experiences ever since that first visit to the store. We've met the owners and they're both very nice people who are very interested in customers actual wellness. So it's not just a tagline for a business, which is nice. I'm speaking from experience on that because they've both given me advice on which of their products might help with my long term sleep struggles. So that's two old men in our house that Dragonfly is helping now During today's visit we had a couple of fun drinks including some of the specials they're doing for Valentine's Day. If anything, I really want to make a plan to come back to hang longer during the evening next time. I've seen them have live music certain nights and I'd love to come back to hang out for a while longer for that.

The bar tender was knowledgeable and explained the menu in detail.

When you walk in the owner is often the one to great you, the cash register to the left of the entrance, and a lovely assortment of trinkets to the right. The food itself was nice and light. I enjoyed the Knafeh. We also got an assortment of drinks. My personal favorite was the Salep (like a more savory creamier hot chocolate, hold the chocolate). The masala chai was a decent price for a pot and had a delightful flavor, I've since taken multiple people and a variety of different pallettes enjoy the flavor. This is a great date spot, but also low key enough to just enjoy if you want a place to relax, there's a small bookshelf if you wanted to un plug and read while you enjoy your tea. Ps. The owner is a professional guitarist, my friend who is also a professional musician has a wonderful time chatting with him about their shared passions.

Cute, Vibrant & Such a Unique Experience!…read more Gahwa Cafe was such a cute Turkish coffee spot! I had never experienced Turkish coffee like this before, so it was a whole new experience for me. The owner was so attentive and welcoming, and one of my favorite parts was getting to see him show us how they make the Turkish espresso in hot sand! I had never seen anything like it, and it made the experience feel so much more special. And let me tell you...the Turkish espresso was AMAZING! The flavor was rich, smooth, and honestly just perfect. Definitely my favorite part of the experience. We also tried the pistachio baklava, and it was tasty! The food was good overall. Since this was my first time trying Turkish food, some of the flavors were definitely new to my palate, but I enjoyed getting to try something different. The café itself is vibrant, colorful, and full of character, but when we went, it was just us, so it was also super quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed the ambience. They even have a hookah area, which adds another fun element to the experience. The only downside for us is that it's pretty far from where we live, so I'm not sure I'd make the trip again just for the café. But if you're already in the area or live nearby, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Turkish Espresso: 10/10 Pistachio Baklava: Tasty Ambience: Vibrant + peaceful Service: Attentive Experience: Unique & memorable Cute spot, great vibes, and definitely glad we tried it!

There's also a water station on a wall by the bathroom to get your own water. I don't know if they were short staffed or if it's always like that but on a Saturday evening, there was just the one guy behind the bar, taking orders and clearing tables when people were done. All that aside, the pizza, salad, and beer were great! We had a pizza with white sauce, arugula, mushrooms, and garlic and a margherita pizza. Also had a Caesar salad which wasn't your typical salad but was so good. We had a couple of beers, I'm not a huge beer drinker so I can't remember the names. I did enjoy them though. One was a sour. Overall, I'd come back for the pizza when I'm in town again.

We all started off with our own wine flight and I think we all got the Whites of the World one, which was delicious!! I split one with my friend, which was a good amount for us, but you could definitely order your own too. For appetizers, we got the specials burrata and Brussels sprouts. Both were amazinggggg but the best was the Brussels sprouts. I always thought I didn't like them but after eating these I found out I do! That sauce is amazing. For my entree, I got the chimichurri steak. It had great flavor, but was a little cold. I guess I didn't get any pics of dessert because it was just that good but we got the sticky toffee cake and I'm still dreaming about it!! So delicious!! Our waiter, Jonathan, was so sweet, and already split the items we split on the bill for our group like dessert without us asking and very knowledgeable of the menu especially different wines. Will definitely be back!
