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.

This is my favorite cocktail spot in DTJAX! Right across the street from the Florida Theater it has…read morean intimate lounge vibe and has TV's! Once you walk past the bar there is a huge seating area in the back, weekends (i think) they have a DJ. Jazz the bartender was amazing! This is the perfect place to watch a Jags away game, grab a drink before the show or wind down after work. My go to is the medium spiced margarita, the Edinburgh scotch cocktail and a PBR & shot of fernet. Apparently the stuffed bear is real

This place, like Volstead, is great and shows off the Mixology in downtown during this awesome era. The art is risqué and the drinks are strong. We will definitely be back. I really enjoyed the larger bar area and acoustics of this place and look forward to staying here longer.

We'd never been to this restaurant in downtown JAX. Let's face it, good food downtown is not a…read morecharacteristic of JAX. So thank goodness for Dorothy's Downtown as they go against the grain. We dined in the AC controlled patio. Our server was excellent. Friendly but not overly so. Competent to the max and prompt. We ordered from the happy hour menu where I got a smashed burger with fries and my hubby got the chicken sandwich. They use thighs for the sandwich so the meat was moist while the coating wonderfully seasoned and crisp. My burger was not as moist as I'd hoped but still a great meal. The bacon and pickles were excellent on my burger. No scrimping there. The fries were great. Salty, garlicky and peppery. And crisped to perfection. We also ordered from the bar and the lemon drops were excellent. No sugar rim so that's a little odd to me but very tasty. I'm pretty sure if I am downtown for a performance or just for a great meal Dorothy's will be my top choice for fine dining. Can't wait to try their full menu!

I was so excited to read that a new spot had opened in downtown Jax. As someone that loves an…read moreIrish Bar the suspense was killing me. Only open a week and fully understanding many kinks need to be corrected however the experience was confusing and underwhelming! I met a friend before a concert. Upon entering the space has minimal furniture. Definitely now warm, cozy as you would expect in an Irish Pub. Our server was adorable but just as confused as we were. 2 menus in the table. A very sparse large menu which included Fish and Chips and a postcard size menu with a few shareable bites. The server had no idea what the full menu was presented advising us the kitchen was not yet built out. We ordered some beer and with them came the large menu again. She explained that they were serving the large menu. Moments later a manager came and took the menus away (again). Wew.... Communication between staff was definitively lacking. We ordered Rueben Errol's and a Scotch Egg. They were served in takeout boats with a plastic spork! The apps filled our belly nothing special. I am putting Keane's in timeout for now and hoping in the coming weeks and months the experience will change! 3 stars due to just opening!
