Had a drink here while staying at hotel. Service was excellent. Beautiful bar. Loved the view. Wish it was warm enough to sit outside but it wasn't. Really nice patio area, and an outdoor firepit with couches around it. I wouldn't come here from somewhere else, but if you're staying at the hotel it's a nice spot to have a drink read more

I can't say much about this bar located to the side of the restaurant. Tammy and I walked in and walked out. The female Bartender might of been busy getting things ready for the day, but we did not get a warm greeting from her. We were not comfortable. We left. We were staying here for a few days, but we did not come back here for a drink. We went to the Beaches Town Center and we met the coolest bartender lady elsewhere. read more

One Ocean Bar - a bar with a large mirror on the wall - Bars Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

Ignored for 10 minutes at the bar with no customers waiting. Spent the entire time training one of many cocktail waitresses who could also have served me read more

We had the French fries, crab cake, and cheese plate as an appetizer. We had the salmon and lobster ravioli as our meal. We drank the margarita and the Mexican mule and it was all AMAZING. Some of the best prepared salmon I've ever had. Highly recommend read more

Hate I have to give 1 star... Great atmosphere, beautiful location... bartenders really cool. Problem my group came in and went outside and sat to the left. Closer to the pool. We sat outside 45 min and not server spoke or asked If we needed anything. I did walk to the bar and asked how do you get service. They informed me, that side is the restaurant and not them the bar..... I had no issue with the bartenders...just the 4 servers that worked at the restaurant that did not once ask if we needed anything read more

One Ocean Bar - Beautiful day..... experience not as nice as the view - Bars Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

Beautiful upscale bar in Neptune Beach. Loved their craft cocktail menu- enjoyed a couple martinis & some wine. Liked the different seating options- bar, high top tables, or couches. Super swanky clean bathrooms- always a plus in my book! Not a 5 star review because the bartenders were slow to serve us thruout the whole night, despite it not being that busy (after reading other reviews I see that non-attentive staff is a common problem there that needs to be addressed.) I did not eat there but everything I saw was very intriguing & well plated. I went to catch up with an old gal pal and we easily could talk & hear each other. It was nice checking out a bar a little more upscale than others in the area. I will certainly be back, especially when it's warm enough to sit outside. read more

The pool was quaint with a pool side bar. Our incredible waitress Lacy made the best Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade! Highly recommend!

First I'll say that yes, they did an awesome job renovating this location. It is extremely upscale, and if you take all of the people in it away it has a great ambiance. That being said, during my visit there the clientele was so pretentious I could barely stand to just HEAR them speak in my general vicinity much less actually have conversation with them. This seemed to be the hang out for all of the people who really needed to be flashy with their money, or at least appear to have money. The wait staff, however, was good. They were very attentive to what was a rather busy bar. I never had to wait very long for a drink. This was a good thing considering this is probably the most expensive place I can think of to go in town. I can recall that the martini's my date was drinking were $18 a piece, and they weren't anything special either. Personally given the type of people I ran into there, and the severe over-pricing of their drinks I would never go here again. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Atlantic Beach. I tried the margarita flatbread which was absolutely amazing. And they have their own pastry chef. The blueberry cheesecake melted in my mouth. It was not as rich as most cheesecake. The entry way and bar decor are fabulous. If it's a nice night you can sit outside and relax while listening to the ocean in their comfortable couches. read more

We love the atmosphere of this wonderful hotel. The restaurant and service is stellar. Thanks to our waiter, 'Brain,' for making every dinner extra special read more

At the Famous One Ocean Bar, What a view. What a bar. Great ocean/beach theme of course. Simulated underwater entry opens up to a one the beach indoor/outdoor bar. The pool is situated next to the bar and also on the beach. I met Ryan the bars professional mixologist he was fantastic He was using a blowtorch to light up the citrus oil for the drinks. I felt like I was in Manhattan. The Hotel is very spa oriented so don't forget to take advantage of a message.. Nothing more to say.........Fantastic Spot! read more

Completely overrated. The 1st time we went the bartender made my drink completely wrong and when I asked if she would mind making it over, she was completely irritated and then charged me $16 for it. We sat outside by the fire which was actually really nice, but decided not to get another drink because it took too long for the first round, they weren't very friendly and they charge us an arm and a leg. The 2nd time we went, we decided to eat there too. Stood at the bar for 10 minutes while 3 bartenders just kept working every once in awhile glancing over at us. The hostess was rude. Just said we could get food at a table if we wanted to, but didn't seat us. We finally just ended up walking out and as soon as we did, the bartender yelled "can I help you"? read more

You have been transported to the most sterile and soulless location on Jacksonville Beach. There is nothing friendly or comforting about this place. The walls are without decoration. The concrete echoes your every step. Somewhere there is a designer with no imagination. Two drinks, $21. That says it all. Then we sat outside and the cushions were soaking wet but you couldn't tell by looking. Ooops. (We saw this happen to two more groups and the staff did nothing.) I'm sure someone loves this place. It's not me. We won't be back. read more

A nice place to sit and have a drink, but on Sunday afternoon there was 1 bartender working the entire lounge and outside area. He was nice but you can imagine the wait.... Even when we went inside to get our own drinks. The bathrooms are clean and the decor is nice... Very south beachy read more

The drinks are super expensive but you really get your monies worth. You pay for the experience and uniqueness of the drinks. The staff at the bar and the hotel are very helpful and friendly. read more

They have two bars here - one in the lobby and one adjacent to the restaurant. The restaurant one has nice views - including outdoor seating. It's nice to be near the ocean. The inside is ok but is really loud even when half crowded. if you're looking for a quiet place for a drink, head elsewhere. They have a very good wine selection. Mixed drinks were fine as well. The bartendars vary a bit - some good, some clueless. The lobby bar, which only has like six seats, is kind of fun. I doubt you'd spend a couple hours here, but it is great for a quick drink before heading out. read more

Came here a month ago for our anniversary. Sat at the bat until our table was ready. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Bartenders were friendly and accommodating. Loved that it was right by the beach and had a classy vibe at the same time. read more

The bar in the lobby at One Ocean is amazing!!! You do not need to stay at the hotel to be able to come in and have an AMAZING experience with Hugh and his creativity, fresh, homemade mixers for his cocktails; his creations are unique and delicious. Tell him your preference of spirit and let him do the rest, I will pay for your drink if you are not happy, that is how confident I am. read more

We were there for drinks, not a meal. They had a good wine selection, fabulous ocean views, and excellent attentive service. We were outside enjoying the evening, with a waitress that was all class and service. read more

I really hope this doesn't come off as nit picky but my experience at the bar was not a good one. Ok. I've never been a guest at this hotel. A friend of mine stayed here for a few days and she seemed to like it. The room was very pretty and clean and that's all I can say about the hotel. I did go to the bar for a couple drinks with friends on my birthday recently so I can only talk about that. The decor is very pretty and upscale modern which appeals to me because I really don't like the typical rowdy/meat market/Fletcher used-to-be's bars at the beach. (not hating on anyone it's just not my cup of tea-and I am a Fletcher alumni before anyone gets mad :o) ) I probably go out like this once every other year if at all. I really can't find anything bad to say about the look of the place and the bathrooms were very clean and nice. For the most part, the people working there seemed friendly, except for the bartenders but I'll get to that. I came in with about 5 people and there were about 5 others waiting for me and maybe a handful of other patrons there hanging out. There wasn't any music which didn't bother me but it did feel kind of weird that they didn't at least have some light jazz or even muzak but ok. We weren't there to get rowdy just like I said have a couple of cosmos and a few sips of champagne, nothing crazy. The drinks were good, I'll say that first. I ordered a lemon drop martini with Absolut Citron and the bartender told me they had only 2 kinds of vodka (I believe it was Grey Goose and Smirnoff) but not Absolut which really didn't bother me but it took a really long time and they treated us like we were a huge inconvenience. (I'm not big vodka drinker or have any strong brand preference, I just like the lemon flavor since it's a lemon drink). My husband ordered a bottle of champagne and before giving us the bottle and glasses, the bartender snootily let him know that it costs $50.00 as if he thought we couldn't afford it. I thought that was pretty rude, pretentious and frankly laughable considering the only champagne they had available was Chandon and not something better since they are trying to be an "upscale" place. Everything(even though the service took forever) felt so rushed and such a bother both of the bartenders were being like that and I even asked what time they closed just in case that was what their attitudes were about. I was told 1am and it was about 11:30 so I still don't know what their problem was. Before leaving I ordered a gingerale after my 2 drinks and sip of champagne just to have something to drink that was non alcoholic and gave the bartender a 10 expecting change. I had to ask for my change. I'm guessing he thought I was either too drunk(which I absolutely was NOT) or too cheap to leave a decent tip. But for a 3 dollar gingerale(that I had pour myself) I shouldn't have to ask for change from a 10 and mind you we had been tipping well while there even though the service didn't deserve it. This is a left over habit from having worked in the service industry in my teens so I still left him a couple dollars but it was little things like that that added up that gave me a bad taste in my mouth when I think about our short time there. The bartenders were jerks, sorry. That's really the only bad thing I can say because like I said, I ordered two martinis and they were both delicious. I just never expected to be treated this way at a place trying to pride itself on being "upscale". My husband and I have been to/stayed at more than a few 4 & 5 star hotels and restaurants( I'm only writing that so whoever reading this would know that I do have a point of reference.) So I don't expect to be a$$ kissed just because a place is "upscale" but I'm used to better service than that. Would I go here again? Only if a friend really really wanted to go here because like I said I don't really like going to bars and at least this place is clean, nice, and safe. But the bartenders are kind of rude and need better service training. read more

I gave this place a 4 because I seriously felt like I was in another city and NOT Jacksonville, FL. This hotel/bar has been totally renovated (Old Sea Turtle Inn)! They have are very modern theme and the ambiance is exquisite. For a up scale hotel, they make very strong drinks. They have a large outdoor seating are with fire pit (bonus). If they had a live DJ or better music I would have given a 5. I will go back to try the food and give an update. read more

Great service. I ordered and paid for 2 appetizers at the bar -(loved the Margarit pizza appetizer). The drinks were great also. The price comparibly, for the appetizers, were amazingly less than the restaurants dinner menu. (My dinner, alone, was $60, (mussels, lobster and shrimp/rice /beans at the restaurant..(it was delicious), glad someone else was picking up the check!!) read more

great atmosphere, solid drinks. the bar staff needs to focus on the customer and not their phones or each other's banter. you almost have to beg for another drink. danny is blind to an empty glass. for how much drinks cost and the price of rooms, you would expect a more attentive and professional staff. read more

Slow inattentive bar staff add nothing to the otherwise trendy spot with great views of the beach and ocean.

One Ocean is always a pleasure to visit. We live locally, so have not stayed in the rooms, but the lounge and Restaurant Azurea are definitely a favorite of my wife and I. If you are looking for a night club with a DJ, this is not the place...If you are looking for a young hangout, this is not the place..but if you're looking for a a low key upscale place to enjoy a nice glass of wine or a cocktail...This is it. It is metropolitan modern with a twist of the beach. The staff is top notch, from the valet staff to the bar tenders, wait staff, even staff passing you in the building...everyone is attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. We enjoy a favorite bottle of wine here regularly that was suggested to us by the house sommelier at Azurea while dining at the restaurant...Now we come (even when we're not dining) to the bar just for this wine...Kanakop Pinotage...A martini that you must try at least once is on the house bar menu...I cannot recall the exact name...but it has fresh chili pepper in it and a whole one on the rim of the glass...Just ask for the martini with the chili pepper...it contains Vanilla vodka and St Germain, but is not as sweet as it may imply...just a little sweet with a bite of hot. The food at Azurea is very good from start to finish...It doesn't matter what you get..seafood, fowl, or meat...the salads...dessert...everything is good...Never been disappointed..Think big city dining at the ocean...Get one of the cozy circular booths or a table on the patio, oceanside...a great dining experience for any occasion. Enjoy! read more

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed the One Ocean bar. I love to come here and have a drink on the patio and I also love that the beach is steps away. The inside is nice as well, perfect for a night out, or a stop over to have a drink while you move on to the next bar. They also have my go to beer, Bold city dukes! I return to this spot often. read more

I've only been in here for drinks but it is a posh place with a nice outdoor patio area. There is some great people watching available here - it's a different crowd than some of the other AB bars (which have great people watching in their own right) so grab a cocktail and enjoy! read more

Over rated. The bartender here has a real following though. Forget his name but he is well liked. I am an ex bartender from many years ago and I wasn't really that impressed. read more

Came to the restaurant for my birthday dinner with my husband. Food was AMAZING, our waiter Dwayne was incredible and service from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left was awesome. We will be back!! read more

We love the staff and service we receive from the One Ocean Bar. It is the best place to watch the people come on and off Atlantic Beach. We love Theresa, the most fabulous and wonderful server who really works to make life great there in the bar area. She works really hard to make sure that your order is correct and that you are happy with the product. We've been there for Thanksgiving and the entire staff are great as well. The outside seating area is best in the beach area. read more

Service has been great. The bartenders, Doug and Tara, we're phenomenal. There wasn't a request they didn't fulfill for me and a friend. The staff was very friendly and talkative. Couldn't ask for better service. read more

I guess I will have another review here too since I left one for their Restaurant . The bar is awesome, we had some friends right before we went for dinner and it was super cool, nice drinks and great staff((bartender was amazing and he made some great drinks ))) as for rest, well nice seething and atmosphere . read more

Pretty view and that's about all. My wife and I drifted in looking for classier digs than the surrounding area. Chatted for about 10 minutes and never got service. A much too common theme of Jacksonville. read more

Went here one evening for drinks and desert. Service was a little off--at first cheese flight arrived without bread (but with a strange selection of biscuits--some that you really would not consider putting cheese on). Cheese flight seemed a little bland (and did not arrive with a knife). I had the sidecar cocktail, which was okay-ish. I also had the creme brûlées. These came as two mini-desserts (one vanilla and one lavender). The lavender one in particular was great and made the visit worthwhile. The outside area was a little dark, making it hard to read the menu (something about not having too much light in case the sea turtles got confused and ended up tomorrow's "special"). read more
