If you're looking for a place that's beyond the mundane beyond the dinner as usual and your taste buds are craving something that's like an alarm clock because it wakes them, the food is scrumptious delicious tender mouth watering be careful with those fingers you might just bite one of them. Such a pleasant inviting environment the staff are gracious and very helpful patient very very courteous and smile so lots of smiles this is a very clean place I normally wouldn't say anything about bathrooms some of the cleanest I've ever seen it's a very charming place it will take you away it's worth the visit it is worth your time your stomach and soul will thank you.

Stopped into Volstead Speakeasy on a Wednesday night as a walk-in and had no trouble grabbing a…read moreseat at the bar. The aesthetic is unique with a relaxed atmosphere. I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

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.

There was also a stage and patio bar, but it was not in operation on Saturday afternoon. Cool spot to kill an hour or two.
