    This is one of our favorite little gems in Mandarin! Gail took over the business and is the absolute sweetest - she has done a lot and you can see a big difference in the atmosphere. There are 32 beers on tap, plus another beer cooler and your basic domestic options. This included NA and gluten free beers, ciders, and all types of sours and varieties. They've added some good food options (you have to try the burger) and really delicious hot pretzels. Saturdays and Sundays have a beer share event and you can bring food and snacks to share with everyone - it's a ton of fun and great to get to know people. There are networking events and also dart clubs/teams that come to the Cavern as well. Like I said, a true gem!

    We wanted to support a local business So Tonight we grabbed some burgers, pierogies & beers. Meet the owner very nice and his staff as well. We found out this is their 3rd year is business! The pierogies so good.Burgers very good & the pretzel yum. ( we didn't care for the zucchini, fries or fries )All good comes out on paper plates- total bar food concept. They have lots of beers to choose from and they rotate the different flavors of beers. Make sure to read the bar menu over that taps. Inside clean doesn't smell like cigarette smell,lots of parking ,pool table,darts,cards & board games. Stop in have a beer & a homemade pierogi, and burger Support local!

    We stopped in from out of town for a beer and brunch. What a great place! The service was beyond amazing. And the food was like a home cooked meal. Loved the beer selection! Definitely a must visit! Aarron is a great owner/bartender! Dawn and Tom

    We made it to The Cavern this week. The burger did not disappoint!!! It was delicious, fresh and flavorful!! The fries were on point!! and The brussel sprouts were a lovely side dish. My husband is a beer drinker but I am not. I do enjoy mead and cider. It's hard to find mead on tap locally so I was jazzed. The bartender was a sweetie pie and the establishment had some great Halloween decor. We will be back!

    It's A MUST to stop in at The Cavern on San Jose blvd, tucked in the corner of the shopping center near Outback. My wife and I like to finish off our date nights escaping the kiddos at The Cavern; trying new brews, chit chatting with familiar faces, and visiting with our favorite bartender, Gail! Tried out the new pool table too, it's a nice addition.

    BEST burgers in Jax!! Aaron is so fun and awesome! Went the extra mile to tend to every person in the bar! A local family owned bar that recently started serving food...all hand made and locally sorced!! Expect a bit of a wait to get your food, but it is WORTH THE WAIT!! SO SO GOOD!!

    They have updated the inside since I was there last. It was birght, clean, and had a lot of games and 2 dart boards. The owner was super nice and helpful. She helpede choose 2 ciders and both were really good. Do I remember the names? No...but they were delicious. My husband enjoyed a $1 something beer! If your in the area stop in for a drink!

    I am thoroughly impressed. The place has been upgraded since I visited last. Two bar areas, some tables and a sitting area to relax. Board games, a couple dart boards and TouchTunes to have some fun. But my favorite was the food and drinks. My tasty spike smoothie was made with the fruit available, blueberry and banana. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed this Spiked smoothie. I chose to have mine spiked with a Fruit Punch Beatbox and it was amazing. Heathy enough drink and a bit of a buzz to boot. So good. Also ordered the grilled cheese on ciabatta bread with tomato and bacon. I loved the flavor. Then to top off my night had a Raspberry Cider. This may be a small Pub, but has enough to rave loudly about and come back time and again. I really recommend trying The Cavern, so many tap beers and canned libations to choose from, even non-alcoholic. I'll probably go for the heathy buzz again next time and sip a smoothie that can be mixed with whatever spirit sold here. Service is amazing and totally accommodating to your reasonable wishes. Can't go wrong swinging by this laid back Pub.

    The cavern is probably the cleanest bar I've been to, and Gail was wonderful and welcoming.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Veterans United Craft Brewery. The beers were crisp, cold and nicely…read moredistinct in flavor. I love beer flights so I can taste several beers side by side. Veterans makes it easy with preset recommendations for different flights. (See my photo.) Great place. Attentive service. Lots of seating available. Nice relaxing tap room.

    Really charming spot with tasteful military-themed decor that clearly honors service members…read morewithout going over the top. It's tucked into a kind of sketchy-looking industrial park, but once you're inside, it feels cozy and welcoming. They've got a great variety of craft brews on tap -- lots of flavor options if you like trying new things. Service was fast and friendly. That said, the food situation is pretty minimal. Think bar snacks -- pre-packaged pretzels (we had the bacon-flavored ones, tasty but probably something you could grab at Publix). Would've loved some fresh food or food truck action. We came out specifically to support a local cat rescue event, which was awesome. Major props to the brewery for partnering with the volunteers and even offering to help promote adoption efforts to their regulars. You can tell they care about their community. There's also a side area with extra seating and a bunch of board games -- most are donated, some missing pieces, but still a fun, low-key vibe. Makes a nice third space to hang with friends and kill a few hours.

    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.

Good food. Couple of gotchas but nothing much. Definitely will be back....
