    Was visiting town and spent two different nights visiting this bar. I was so impressed with the drinks the first night, we had to come back on Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thursday crowd was nice and slow and quiet. Got our drinks quickly and tons of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friday night before Halloween it was packed! We got our drinks, but you needed to make it through the crowd to get to the bar lol[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Which isn't a bad thing, all good signs of a good place that people like to be! I truly couldn't tell you the names of any of the drinks I ordered, but I ordered a lot. Not a single drink either night disappointed. I wish I was local so I could back time and time again. Service was great, bar is trendy and cool, people are fun to be around and overall just a gem of a place. We come back to Jacksonville often, so I'm excited to have my favorite cocktail bar locked down.

    My first time here and came with a bunch of friends for a birthday celebration. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the vibe of the quiet/chill bar in the front and the more rowdy club vibe in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It does take a while to get a drink when it's packed, but the wait is worth it as the cocktails are super yummy. Staff was a little grumpy but it was a busy Saturday night so I won't hold it against them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was really great and I love how they had water jugs in both rooms, however, they were mostly empty/out of cups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is also 2 bathrooms in the back and 1 in the front. Had a good time!

    Festive decor in the speakeasy!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this bar and speakeasy all year, but if you have a chance to stroll in during the holiday season you will be delighted- they do all out with the decorations and themed beverages; even offering souvenir cups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a big fan of their wine bottle selection, and find the $15 uncork fee fair based on the bottle prices. There is complimentary water setup like a proper Florida establishment, and the every bar staff is friendly, fun, and helpful if someone in your party gets decision fatigue.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the atmosphere of this bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer fun events, great mixed cocktails and a wide selection of spirits.

    Stopped by on a Saturday evening. IDs were being checked at the main entrance, but the side door with the "shhh" sign was open, and no one there to check IDs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a long restroom line in the middle of the bar, but a shorter one near the stage towards the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The draft Stella was $6. Bartenders were quick and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]DJ played good music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, good vibes and a fun place to hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Old fashioned

    Stopped in while in town on a work trip and my manager and I had a couple drinks. I was really impressed with the bourbon and rye selection they had and they were more than willing to chat about some of the unique offerings. I started with an old fashioned and then realized they had Angels Envy Rye, a personal favorite and switched it up to that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At first we sat at one of the tables behind the bar, but right away two spots opened up at the end of the bar which I think made for a better experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely go back again.

    Date night with the hubs after dinner, we headed to G&G to have one more drink before night night! Live music was playing, and the vibe is super chill. We needed sitting in the hidey hole area near the back door. The music was not as loud there, and we were still able to ppl watch. Yummy drinks! Forgot what mine was called, but it had horchata in it!!

    Came here during the holidays and the cocktails were festive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I absolutely loved the decorations and it was a lot of fun[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The quirky condescending bar tender.   Did not feel welcome - lots of foul language
    Public E.

    Male bartender is quirky and condescending- on a Sunday afternoon??? Why? Drinks and female bartender were fabulous- if you hope to rub elbows with cool people - and be treated like a 5th grader - this is your place!

    Penicillin cocktail (right)
    Krystal G.

    Drinks were strong and delicious. Service was upbeat and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The playlist is always a vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It gets a bit crowded inside before the back room opens up but plenty of sitting outside sitting as well!

    Gabi Y.

    Loved this spot! Came for the holiday pop up and drinks. The decorations are amazing and I loved the Christmas mugs. I got the Yippi Ki Yay which was pretty yummy and different than any drink I've had before.

    Espresso martini

    Finally made my way in here and so glad I did. Decently priced cocktails and a huge selection of drinks/cocktails. When you initially walk in, you see a long bar and some bar seats. Keep walking and it gives speak-easy vibes, kind of hidden in the back with another bar and plenty of couches. The espresso martini was delicious. I will be back here for a night out.

    Old fashioned  Espresso Martini
    Nico B.

    Very cool cocktail bar in San Marco. Grape and Grain had great drinks and a very chill vibe. The old fashioned was one of the best I have ever had and the espresso martini was delicious as well. This bar is split into two segments with the back area full of couches with dim lighting for a more relaxed experience. Loved it.

Apparently there's a policy on if you don't purchase anything you cannot stay in the establishment, which in my opinion is completely reasonable if communicated. However, that wasn't the case with my friends and I. I have previously visited this establishment but it was a while ago, so we were taking time to decide what we wanted to purchase. Instead of respectfully communicating this policy to us, there was a worker with striped hair and glasses who started yelling at us and cursing at us, telling us that we needed to and I quote, "get the fuck out of his restaurant". This could've been an easily resolvable situation given that there seems to have just been a communication barrier where he assumed that we were not going to make any purchases, when in reality, we were just trying to make a decision of what we were wanting to purchase. However, his aggressive approach was, and still remains highly inappropriate. He immediately assumed that we weren't there for business. It was an extremely aggressive encounter and we are very disappointed by it. His behavior made the ambience in there feel very unwelcoming. So if you were thinking of trying this place out. Save your money for somewhere where customer service is actually up to par. if you're going to pay for an overpriced and average beverage, you might as well be treated kindly for it.

I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

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.

    My husband and I went on a much needed date night tonight. I've always wanted to give BB's a try…read moreand finally convinced him! We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect. My husband ordered the ribeye and his was medium, his was also spot on. Then of course, we had to get dessert. I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try. The only negative thing that I would say is that it's a bit cramped, so it was very loud and hard to hear each other at points. This was an amazing dinner. We will be back

Our waiter, Evan, was very proactive & offered suggestions with menu items. We started with some cocktails, the gentlemen with the cider beer & an old fashioned. I chose a glass of bubbly & the birthday girl had the fizz cocktail. It was incredible with a fresh blackberry puree. We started with the fried green tomatoes & the calamari, both were delicious! Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter! Would absolutely request him in the future.
