The highlight of the night was seeing Santa blissfully watching the football game and completely unaware of the party happening around him. For the most part, we had a great time. Unfortunately, the only downside was our bartender, Tobin. From the start, he came across as rude and unwelcoming. We waited at the front bar for a while, even though there weren't many people ordering. He clearly saw us but ignored us--no acknowledgment, no "I'll be right with you." When my friend finally ordered drinks, Tobin didn't say hello or smile, just pointed with an expression that made it seem like he didn't want to be there at all. The attitude was disappointing. We didn't let it ruin our night, but someone with that demeanor really shouldn't be working in the service industry. Ambiance 4/5 Service 1/5

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.

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

Their cocktails are superb and very high-quality. The service is absolutely the best in the entire city that I have ever experienced. Not only was everybody friendly, but they were super excited about their experience and their products and were very willing to answer questions and provide any guidance we wanted. During our 90 minute visit, I'm certain they stopped at our table 4 or five times to check on us. It was not intrusive, it was part of the experience. We were blown away. When we left, our bill was reasonable, we felt we had a high-quality night out, and we made plans to 100% come back much more often. I just can't rate this place higher or speak more highly of it. Truly worthy of five stars. Thank you, Mayport Garden Club, for the justice that you do to your patrons, the world of tiki, and craft cocktails! Oh - food came from the pizza baker next door at Reve brewing. It had a slight burnt taste (wood fired? Coal fired?) but wasn't bad overall.

This is the best place at the beaches- I'm just lucky enough to live basically next door. The girls and guys serving and tending bar there are top notch.

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.
