After being recommended as a local favorite in the Jacksonville area, I decided to check out Lemon Bar for lunch. Parking is limited, but I was lucky to snag a spot out front. The spots are metered, and the area is adorable, filled with little shops, though I can see how parking could get congested during peak season. Lemon Bar sits right on Neptune Beach, with a boardwalk that provides easy access to the beach, something I definitely took advantage of! My server, Kaitlyn, was fantastic and walked me through some of the popular menu items. I ordered the Orange Dream frozen cocktail, boom boom shrimp tacos, and fries. Everything arrived fresh and hot, and the flavors did not disappoint. read more

We stopped in for a visit on a cool November day after exploring the area. My initial impression is that this open-air bar/restaurant must be absolutely hopping during the warmer months! For our visit, we enjoyed a couple of yummy drinks before continuing our exploration. The atmosphere is very casual, making it a great hang-out spot for both locals and tourists alike. read more

Very very busy but if you are able to make it passed the people to the bar. Drinks are amazing and the view is even better!

I knew we were in for a good 4th of July when I walked into Lemon Bar and saw an Olympic Russell Westbrook Jersey, an NC State Dennis Smith Jr. Jersey, and a back tattoo that read "Never Forget Family." Can it get more patriotic? We were fighting for one of the picnic benches under one of the 20+ white Truly umbrellas in the open air space, but ended up sitting on a high bench towards the back as it was damn near standing room only. I got us the first round of drinks, a bucket of 5 high noons that was $25. Coming from NYC, I felt like I had just robbed a bank. That's $50 in the city... I didn't realize until I came back that our bench directly bordered the beach. You could see and smell the ocean. I don't know why that tripped me out so much, but I really started appreciating life: Does it get better than being at a casual, borderline trashy, beach bar with the wind blowing lightly on your skin surrounded by people you love while a mediocre DJ mix plays in the background? It was at this point my Big Sis asked if I wanted a Zyn. I'd never had one before, but my nickname in high school was "Mr. I'll Try Anything Once," so I popped a 6mg pouch in. I realistically probably wouldn't have, but I saw Tucker Carlson talking about how he takes them when he interviews people and I love this arc he's been on lately. Say what you want about ole Tucky but he's a good interviewer, and interviewing Putin is crrraaaaazzzzyyyyyyyyy. I packed the Zyn high and tight and I totally get the hype tbh. I was LOCKED in right away and felt great. However, after about a minute, my Big Sis was like "Dang 6mg for your first time is a lot lowkey..." 10 seconds after she said that I began to get a little nauseous and lose control of the wheel. I guarantee if she hadn't have told me that I would have been 100% fine. The power of the human mind is so crazy. Choose wisely. I ended up being okay, but was RIGHT on that line of falling off the deep end. You ever just go too far and feel like you are in a Hunter S. Thompson novel? Yeah, I was looking right at that line. I don't even remember why, but I hit 22 push ups because somebody said I couldn't. DOUBT ME NOW! That helped work the nausea off too. We then ordered some food that consisted of Mozzarella sticks, Chicken Tenders, Fried Banana Pepper Rings, and some fries. This meal saved us. We were collectively starting to go downhill as a group, and it was the perfect bar food to bring us back to life. They should bundle this and have it on the menu as "The Phoenix." I loved my time here at Lemon Bar and will romanticize it to the day I die, idgaf. Jax beach in general reminds me so much of Hermosa Beach when I was growing up in LA. So much grit, so much character. In closing, no matter what you do, no matter where you go, no matter who you become: Never Forget Family. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

I'd heard so many people rave about this place so I was super excited to try it. The drinks were great, but the food was definitely subpar. I had the Beaches Lemonade and the Blackberry Margarita; both were good. Nice, heavy pours. I ordered the tacos and they all just came out bland, and drenched in heavy sauces. I did enjoy the ambience here, the the servers were all great, and the location is good. I could see myself coming back for drinks after doing some activities nearby. But I definitely won't be back for a meal. read more

We went early so we definitely beat the crowds. Went over a holiday weekend so they had a limited menu(understandable). Food was delicious either way! Had a Cesar wrap and fries. Our server was kind and attentive. I was craving a banana daiquiri and they made the most delicious one I have ever had! Good drink menu variety and decent prices. read more

The Lemon Bar has ambiance that cannot be beat. One of the few places right on the water that has a casual chill atmosphere. The menu includes burgers, tacos, great tropical cocktails. But it doesn't even matter what you order because nothing brings down the vibe. Come in right off the sand if you want. It doesn't just feel like you're at the beach, it feels like you're in the islands read more

The Lemon Bar - Frozen Bahama Mam - American Near Me - Neptune Beach, Florida

This is the best local beach bar experience for a sunny day since it's all outdoors and right next to the beach. It's in walking distance to many cute shops, bars, and other restaurants too! Make sure you try the frozen lemon bar drink. On the menu it just says vodka and ice cream as the ingredients but it has a ton of different citrus juices and a little cranberry so it has a really nice flavor and consistency. read more

This was a total unplanned find for us. We spent 2 weeks in Ponte Vedra exploring the area and stumbled onto this beachside restaurant (and hotel I guess). Since there really are not many places to eat outside next to or on the beach in this part of Florida we were happy to find this. And then stunned by the reasonable prices. $5 for a "glass" of wine? (everything is plastic which we came to learn is common in the region but the amount of plastic waste bothers us). $6 for a shrimp or fish taco? ON the beach? Score! My husband got the blackened mahi taco and I got the shrimp - both were very good. (the shrimp could use a little less gooey sauce but it was still very good) We also got some chips and salsa. My only comment here is $8 for chips when the taco is $6 seems a bit steep (another $3 for queso) in comparison to their whole menu. Seems to me tortilla chips are much cheaper to make than fish/shrimp tacos! No matter, in just 10 days we ate here 3 times!! There are SO few places to eat along the beach that this was a no brainer with these prices! When we returned on a Tuesday I was shocked at our bill. The $5 "glass" of wine was somehow only $4, the $6 taco became 2 tacos for $8. What? Maybe it was Taco Tuesday? No clue. Menu didn't mention anything nor did the server. Could NOT believe this value...again ON the beach!! Unbeatable. We spend a lot of time in SoCal (after living there 20 years) and you can barely get a side of fries for $6 and a glass of wine for under $10-15 is a bargain happy hour price in LA - forget being near the beach! Servers were pleasant. It's casual, they let us sit where we wanted, the only unusual thing is they as for a card to start a tab like a cocktail bar rather than a restaurant. Maybe they have a lot of dine and dashers? Total score on this place! Can't beat it. read more

Great spot on Jax beach. Close to the water and had plenty of tables to sit at. You're better off ordering from the bar because service at the tables can be very slow. Fish tacos were good and a decent size, we ordered two. And the drink menu is extensive and the frozen drinks great for a hot day. read more

Ambiance is great, beach side open concept outdoor bar. With a small stage for shows outdoors. Despite multiple staff and hardly any customers the service was almost non existent. We were looked at and ignored and had to initiate contact. The drinks are fantastic. The food was dry and barely edible. read more

Fun outdoor beach bar! We had a beer (blue moon) and lemon drop drink. Husband said his beer was "cold and wet" my lemon drop drink was good not too sweet. My go to drink is a lemon drop martini but they can't make martinis so this wasn't a bad substitute. Service was good but when I asked for an ice water I was pointed to the igloo cooler that had been out in the sun. Went to bar and asked for an ice water and bartender there (Kelsey) was more than happy to serve me an ice water. It was a fun oceanfront bar and we'll be back. read more

If you've never been to the Lemon Bar, you should definitely try it. I have been coming here since forever. It's been a tradition to kick off the warm weather and usher in the sunshine with a drink at this iconic beach bar. If you love frozen drinks, they have a few and the Lemon Bar Freeze has been the signature drink as far back as I can recall. Their signature cocktails are also worth a try. If you prefer drinks that are not sweet and more refreshing, I highly suggest the melon squeezer (I don't add the simple syrup) or the Ocean Cucumber. Not in the mood for a mixed drink? They have wine, beer (draft/can) and a variety of seltzers available. Unfortunately, zero photos of the food--was in the moment with some loved ones. But we threw down. We had blackened fish bites, grilled chicken tenders, blackened shrimp, onion rings, corn nuggets -- it was all good and service was quick. It's typical bar bites, but they're the perfect nomnoms to have with a few drinks. Drink service was great -- love how any server can assist you. The live music is always jammin. And it's such a unique bar being that it's tucked right behind the sand dunes -- just steps from the beach. BTW - the bar is outdoors. Parking in this area can be a challenge. If you're able to bike, there are plenty of racks. If you decide to drive, there are several parking lots and street parking scattered throughout the beaches town center area and across a few blocks, but it's pay for parking by license plate. Make sure to download the Flowbird app ahead of time to pay. If not. there are meters in each zone. read more

Lemon Bar is a staple in Neptune Beach. It's the perfect beach bar with refreshing drinks and the ideal food menu for a day by the beach. The wings are always great, no matter the sauce flavor you choose. The sandwiches are delicious as well, and they're a sleeper for one of the best cheeseburgers around. The coconut shrimp is great as well, but a pretty small portion for the price. Definitely one of the best places to go on a cool day to relax and chill read more

I'm giving this place 5 My friend and I took a walk on Neptune beach then to the lemon bar for lunch . We sat ourselves at the last high top table . Immediately a server came to take our drink order. While waiting for our drinks another server came over and took our food order. We both ordered the burger and fries. While waiting for our meal we looked around at the crowd. Every table was full, everyone seemed happy - the sun was shining what is there to be mad about on a gorgeous day ? Our meal arrived and was appealing to the eye and more appealing after the 1st bite. Another server came to ask how everything was. By the end of the meal 8 separate servers asked if we needed anything else. Talk about attentive this is a great place to go with family or friends for a Sunday funday !! read more

Outdoor bar right off of Neptune beach. Great cocktails and frozen drinks. Jags game on a projector during home games. Great service.

We are here visiting from California and what a disappointment. The drinks were so watered down. You could not taste the alcohol at all. My friend sent her drink back and other customers were disappointed. The bartender making the drinks had an attitude. The food was great. read more

This place is a joke. Drinks are always watered down, flavorless. The works are rude and unprofessional. Been twice to give it a second try but will be my last. Always dirty, rude/nasty works. Great location but that's probably the only thing about this place. Don't see what all the hype was about this location. read more

I've been a fan of the Lemon Bar since moving to Jacksonville five years ago. This is one of my favorite places to take out of town visitors. I love the relaxed vibe and atmosphere that they offer. I also love that you can find all walks of life there. It's not just a bar for 21 year olds. It can be tough to find seating but if you are able to find seating I love how easy it is to order. The waitstaff float around and aren't assigned to specific tables so you can usually grab anyone you see come by. The Gatorade is my favorite to get there but they have a great assortment of frozen classics (daiquiri, pina colada, mudslide etc) too. They also serve food and I love ordering their grilled chicken tenders. They are also perfectly cooked and very juicy. They also will have live music which I love! read more

What a fun "beachside" spot. They have only outdoor seating so be prepared for that. They have tons of drinks, and delicious frozen ones too! The seating area is not THAT large so it could probably get busy here. I had a great time and the servers were very attentive! read more

The Lemon Bar is where the young twenty-somethings hang out. You'll see a few thirty-somethings but unless they bring their parents, not many older. It's a mostly outdoor place with live, rather loud, band entertainment. It's a full bar with seating table service, albeit excessively slow service. There is a whole list of specialty drinks like Ocean Cucumber with Stolichnaya Vodka or Hendrick's Gin and fresh cucumbers, Bahama Mama, etc. Also, wines and beers but with the mixed drinks being so weak, you're best off just drinking beer. As for food, its basically bar food like tacos, burgers, chicken wings, and the like. All OK, but nothing outstanding. I had a Bacardi and soda which seemed near alcohol-free, setting me to wonder how some people managed to get drunk, but they rather obviously did. I also had their Beach Burger which I found to be singularly unremarkable. read more

Lemon Bar is a great little beach spot to hang out. Super casual atmosphere with seat yourself picnic tables and high tops. Service lagged a little but to be fair, it was very busy when we visited. They have a big list of fun beachy dinks as well as a decent beer selection. We ordered a few appetizers to share and everything was tasty! They recently added more umbrellas for their tables which is a lifesaver because it is HOT! I can't imagine sitting at one of those tables without some sort of shade. If you're looking for a casual beachy spot to relax and have some fun drinks, check out Lemon Bar. read more

The best location for sure as it is n Neptune Beach. Customer service: Amazing, as they were friendly and always ensured you were taken care of. Food: The chips and queso were good. Chicken fingers were okay, nothing great if I'm being honest, but very bar foodie Shrimp Tacos were also fine. Drinks: Excellent, dreamsicle one was my favorite by far. Al the drinks were made perfect and tasted good. Overall: It wasn't super busy for a Friday night. We left and returned and still got good seats--a beautiful view of the beach, an incredible place. I highly recommend it. read more

What a cute little spot! Service is great because all the servers share tips so everyone seems like they are willing to help. Decor is very beachy and vibrant. We had to try the frozen drinks because well why not? We were on vacation and rarely drink frozen drinks. I will say they were very yummy but nothing you can drink on all night. They were running great specials even though it was somewhat late in the afternoon. We were lucky that it wasn't too busy as it was about to rain. We stayed for about two hours sipping on cocktails and had a few small bites. It was just very chill and perfect. Will come back next time we are in town! read more

I've probably reviewed this place in the past, but I will review it again. I love this place due to the party vibe. I like to sit, stare at the ocean, and have a beer. The music is usually really good here and this day was no exception. If you like to people watch, this is the place to do it. The crowd is usually a mix of young and old with everyone looking to cut loose. Food is ok, but that is not the primary draw. read more
