It's been a while since I've been to Aardwolf, but it's just as great as I remember it!…read more I love the exposed brick interior, comfy large booths, and huge selection of beers. The Weizenwolf is my current new fav beer! I crushed a couple on draft and the to-go cans were also just as tasty. To me its the perfect beer- full body flavor but light and refreshing. Man I could go for one right now as I write this...

Had a nice lunch out at Wicked Barley Brewing Company - Jacksonville, FL today to kickoff and enjoy…read moretheir Reggae Sunday season. My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.

We ended up having a couple beers prior to heading around the corner for tacos. There are a wide variety of beer options and the bartender shared the story of each one's name as we ordered it.

String Sports Brewery is, at first glance, a brewery. But spend a few minutes inside and you'll…read morerealize it's also a quiet tribute to basketball culture, local loyalty, and unexpectedly onion ring excellence. I arrived unaware of its history, but the owner's love for basketball is unmistakable, and the locals reflect that same devotion... not just to the sport, but to the space itself. There's an ease here, a sense that people aren't just passing through. I took a seat at the bar, did what one does in such environments, and ordered an IPA. It was solid... confident, balanced, exactly what you'd hope for. But then came the onion rings, which I ordered based on a subtle but unmistakable social cue: everyone else seemed to be eating them. Reader, they were correct. These were not mere onion rings. These were structurally sound, texturally precise, and philosophically complete. Large, fully cooked onions, no trace of that unpleasant raw bite, encased in a crisp, golden coating that somehow maintained its integrity from first bite to last. Crunchy, consistent, and deeply satisfying. Naturally, I paired them with blue cheese dressing because I'm from upstate New York, and that is not a preference, it is doctrine.

Went to watch the jags game today and the experience today was much improved from my last visit!…read more I had a Bullet Bob IPA that was pretty good! Would totally have it again. I arrived a little bit later than the rest of my group and they had already ordered several apps for the table. I did not come hungry this trip, so I just munched on the boiled peanuts. They were spectacular. The service was wonderful! The employees were all very engaged with the customers. And what a great place to watch the game! An abundance of TVs and what's better than hanging out with fellow jags fans?! Plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor options. And just a fun place to be. I'm officially a fan now and will for sure check this out on a more regular basis. No pics because I was too busy being blown away by the Jags performance today! Duuuuuvallllll

Big thanks for Bold City for sponsoring such great quality music! That lead singer was sassy and fun and so real and just - wow - what a voice! Bold City has a dozen large round high top tables and chairs, as well as wall-side rails with stools and a couple low tables, plus seating at the bar and inside the "inner restaurant feel" space. They have a separate and enclosed kitchen where they cook up a selection of easy eating food. Beer selections, wine, a seltzer and a cider are written up on giant blackboards in bright chalk, telling you alcohol content % of each. The bartenders were fast and polite, relatable, and quick with clean up around the venue of all your old empty glasses. Nothing stacked up and they kept the place spotlessly clean. The whole thing has a background of the giant beer "stills"? I don't know what they're called - tall silver things for fermenting the beer. If you didn't know they make the famous Duke's Brown Ale and they sell beer all over in Jacksonville bars.

Super service from Amber and thank you for the recommendations during my visit, will definitely let my friends know about this sweet spot!

They also had several toys/games in the yard area. It was louder than I expected, but that was due to the handful of kids, 10yrs and under, running around and screaming. Activities I expect kids to do, but I try to avoid being around. The inside was cute and looked inviting. They had counter service that was pleasant. I ordered the cucumber sour and really enjoyed it. It would be a great location for a quick meet up with a drink but not great for silent reading .

WELL, we found a great place that ticked most of those boxes, just a different view than sun and sand but that was OK! The drinks were very tasty, a mango slushy and a citrusy sour. Our "snack" was a great wood fired oven pizza called Burrata Diavola. Great vibes, great music. Fun time!!

This is probably the best pizza I've had in a very long time!…read more Reve Brewing is located in a strip mall right off Mayport Rd, just a couple minute off the naval base. The brewery has a really cool vibe to it, and they also have plenty of TVs where they were playing sports. I know they are a brewery and probably really good at it, but I came here for the pizza. Their selection is small but mighty. When we asked the staff what he recommended, he said all of them (not making it easy buddy). Since they are on the smaller size, we decided to get three and planning to take home some leftovers. My favorite by far was the Pancetta Garlic pizza. At the beginning I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of garlic, but damn was I wrong. The garlic was cooked to perfection and literally melted in your mouth. I don't think I've ever seen a similar pizza anywhere else, and made it even more surprising. Frankly the other two we had were also very delicious, but I truly give it the top spot to the prosciutto garlic. Last but not least, I like that they had THC on the menu. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, it is nice to see other options available on the menu.
