They also change up the decor. Last time we went in, they were all decorated for Valentine's Day and had a special drink menu. I had the Razz Barry Manilow. They make an excellent espresso martini, and my husband gets his made with O'Kahan Agave mezcal instead of vodka. So, the bartenders are good at custom requests, and I've consistently gotten good drinks. The decor is very plush and extends all the way to the bathrooms, which are all pretty unique. So, try and peek in each one!

Landed on Sunday Funday in Jacksonville, FL after a missed flight…read more Originally came for the bar across the street and stumbled upon this place on my way to lunch. Very cute and clean for a "dive bar". I asked the bartender how the dirty martinis were and he said spectacular. And it absolutely was. I asked for kettle one and he suggested grey goose since they were $8 on sundays.... Ugh yea grey goose it is I knew it was going to be good when he asked if I had an olive preference. I got 2 blue cheese olives. I had to run to my lunch reservation but excited to be back for an after lunch martini. Maybe I'll get an espresso martini, a group came in while I was there and order an espresso martini, and it looked amazing.

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.

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.

My wife and I ordered at the bar and received quick service. Since it was early, the vibe was quiet, with only a movie playing on the screen. We only stayed for about 30 minutes, but it was a pleasant, chill atmosphere. It was quite a shock to step back outside and be blinded by the sun afterward. Overall, a cool spot with a great vibe for a quick drink.

We stopped at Cheers Park Ave for lunch because we've only been here once previously for drinks…read more Anyone who knows anything about us knows we're passionate about music. So the first time we were here, the album cover paintings stood out to us. Of course I know all of them and love many of them but per usual, anywhere that features artwork for King of Pop Michael Jackson is immediately good in my book! I started with a Mocha Martini, which is basically adult chocolate milk and I am totally OK with that. For lunch, I ordered their Big 1/2 Burger w/ Fries because it's been a while since I've had a burger. The offer toppings but I'm a plain burger person, thus the photo with only cheese. It's a really solid burger with a great brioche bun. The fries were seasoned well but not super crispy so I didn't eat a lot of them. My wife ordered the BLT which should come as a shock to no one. I'm reasonably that anyone could look at the photo of the BLT and not need to read a review. She loved it. Her only mild critique was that she thought there was a bit too much tomato, but that's easy enough to dispense with so no biggie. I'm glad we ate here this time.
