    Golden Mule

    The drinks are to die for, the Golden Mule is amazing! Highly recommend coming here. I also tried the Girly Pop Nation, it has such a fresh taste. Both drinks were amazing.

    Look at all those drafts!

    Always my go to while in 5 Points. Serving beer and wine and a few Slushies. The house made Sangria is delicious. Staff is always friendly. Weekends offer Silent Disco on the patio and weekends pop up art markets.

    The drinks are so good and cute! The prices are great. The atmosphere is amazing and chill

    It's fun to do silent disco here ! My girlfriend likes the sangrias and i'll usually grab a can of two chicks. I like the outside courtyard. Bathroom is fun and iconic for pics in the big mirror.

    Root Down Jax was a funky cool spot! I was told before arriving they had wonderful sangria, and my friend did not lie! I ordered the white sangria, which I highly recommend. I'm not sure if it was happy hour prices, but it was only $5 per glass, which was a steal in this economy. Several friends ordered the red sangria and loved it. I tasted it and liked it, but I prefer the white. The bartender was friendly, and the space was lovely. There was also a huge projector showing the Jags game on the wall behind the bar. But my favorite spot was the patio. I loved the green space, and there was lots of seating. Stop in and check them out!

    Decided to hang around a bit with my friends after the Yelpies '22 so we went down to Root Down for some drinks. Well, one drink. This place is so airy and open, not to mention all white. Plenty of seating with more outside in the back where there's another bar, but it wasn't in use at the time. A friend and I commented about how the vines in the back accented the area and how it was a nice touch. Most likely because it was a Sunday they were not busy at all. The Jags game was on but only a few people watching it. I ordered a red sangria and it's probably one of the best I've had. It was topped with champagne so it wasn't too sweet, just a nice hint with the tree branch of rosemary in it. I really like rosemary and smelling it while sippin' was delightful. What a nice little spot.

    Sunday is a fun day in deed at Root Down Jax. I highly recommend the Red sangria topped with some bubbly, super fresh and tasty, one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Love the fact that it was a somewhat warm afternoon and we were able to enjoy drinks in the beautiful patio. Game was on the big screens and facility was spotless, our barmaid was super friendly and made sure we had and amazing time.

    Perfect stop for a refreshing drink for my 1st visit to to SunRay Cinema next door. The (NA) Craft lemonade was very good and I'll definitely order again on my return visit. Shoutout to Bartender Charlie for her hospitality. The interior has a cool contemporary design and is spacious. Seating at the bar was comfortable. Chill vibes throughout along with friendly patrons enjoying their drinks...Cheers y'all and see ya again soon!

    What a cool place in 5 points. From the outside it looks like not much and even on inside the decor is minimalist all white and some green plants. It was also arctic cold inside, the bartender told me it was to prep for the "silent disco" that would be happening later that night and it would be busy so needed to lower temp. I hope it worked because by time we had 2 drinks I needed to leave because I needed a parka to stay. Hat being said the music was good and the drinks were delicious! There are some really unique ingredients that you wouldn't think it would be in a cocktail but we loved everything. Definitely need to come back and try more...but bring a jacket if Friday or Saturday nights haha

    No AC vents

    They will refuse you service if you don't tip even though tipping is an optional thing but they Berated me call you an asshole and refuse service me. I went with a group of 10 people all of them either didn't tip or only tip once and were able to purchase more than 5 drinks a piece. Very unprofessional, I spoke to the manager and he said that's how his staff makes a living. Maybe pay your people more. The female bathroom was not attended to ran out of toilet paper and paper towels, there was no ac and there was blood on the doors.

    My husband and I recently stopped by this bar while walking around Five Points one Saturday afternoon. He tried a couple local brews from their extensive list of beers and ciders in draft, while I opted to try their sangria. I'm very picky when it comes to sangria, but they hit a home run with this one. It's very fruity without crossing the line of being too sweet. The atmosphere was pretty quiet and laid back since we'd arrived mid to late afternoon, but more people started coming in around the time we were leaving. I saw ads for a silent disco at the bar, which sounds interesting, and their patio out back looked very pretty with lush vines along the wall. Would probably be a nice spot to grab a drink after dinner in the Five Points/ Riverside area on a nice summer night.

    This place is great if you just want to chill and watch whatever's on the projector screens. Great drinks, even though there's no liquor. I go here for the flavored champagne drinks. It's pretty empty usually, so it's not too loud. I don't like a super crowded bar, but I wish there were more people to appreciate this space. Bathroom is AWESOME. The lighting is fabulous to grab a selfie in.

We'd been here before but only once prior to a Michael Jackson event at Painting With A Twist nearby. First, let me say that I made my beer choice on name alone. It ended up being a great sour red though, so I'm not mad at it. Humor goes a long way with me though, so even if it wasn't great I would've dealt with it on name alone: Cherry Busey! We only hung out for a little bit (again, we need to get home for dinner) but it would he very easy to stay for longer. You can see from the photos that they have a ton...and I mean a ton of craft beers. In addition to that, they have a big room with lots of room to kick back. Our night was delayed shortly when my wife decided to take on one of those wooden barrel puzzle. You can see her dismay in the picture of us! We both took a crack at it for a while and never did solve it, but we eventually decided we needed to let it go. You win this time wooden barrel puzzle! One other thing to note is that there's parking behind it. So if you decide to go there, don't be intimidated by what looks like street only parking. Go around behind the place and you'll be all set.

Most who know me know that I am a craft beer aficionado and many (and I mean, MANY) of the craft beers that I've enjoyed are bought from or enjoyed within the confines of Beer:30. I love a great brewery as much as the next person, but as someone who loves to try out new and different beers that are not located in North Florida, the local bottleshops are my usual place to go. Beer:30's staff works incredibly hard to have a wide swath of options for any craft beer drinker. I am someone who enjoys all kinds of different beer, but who usually opts for something on the sour side of the house. Luckily, there's usually something in the fridge or on tap that fits the bill. Not to mention, how many prestigious selections from near opposite sides of the country that they are able to obtain through their distributors. Another great thing about bottleshops is that you can put together a mix-and-match 4-pack or 6-pack to take home with you. You can even get just one or two if you don't necessarily want an entire 6-pack. I will forewarn folks that some of the cans may seem a bit pricy, but it's the unfortunate side of the brew scene as a whole with the cost of aluminum and ingredients consistently going up. Beer:30's ownership changed hands not too long ago, but what I've appreciated in that changeover is the quality events and promotions. There's a silent reading hour every Tuesday, they are starting to host Diana Testa and her Italian Cooking Lessons, different fundraisers for local nonprofits, as well as beer collabs with local breweries. They've been hosting all sorts of cool arts and craft workshops, plant swaps, Beer:30 Day (on the 30th of the month), tap takeovers, and beer pairings (that Sundae Fundae with Left Hand Brewing & Mayday Ice Cream has been my fave so far). As always, Beer:30's anniversary parties are a can't miss! Due to my work schedule, there's been quite a few that I haven't been able to take part in, but I'm so happy to see their success.

And lastly the nachos were exactly the same crusty old chicken meat!! We ordered pretty much every meat there and all was DISGUSTING and we had to throw out because meat sitting around all day can't be healthy! My recommendation is to NOT come here for the food!
