Green Room Brewing

I live in Kansas City a mecca of craft breweries. I grew up during the craft brewery boom so I'm not stranger to craft beer. So when I say the Green Room has great craft beer, I mean it. I'm in JAX two to three weeks a year for work and I take as many of my coworkers there as I can to chat over beer. My favorites:BeerwatchEvery HazyBlueberry HazyI love that you can buy any food you want on A1A and eat it in the Green Room. The owner encourages it. I recommend Beachside Seafood just down the street.By far my favorite thing about the green room aside from the beer is the regulars. It seems like the GR has a cult like following. I see the same people there on the regular. They all know each other, it's like Cheers. It's dog friendly so there are furry friends every time I visit. Trivia night is packed but outdoor seating is typically available.

Service was very friendly and attentive. It made me feel welcome. The ambiance was very friendly and upbeat.

I stopped in for the first time last week. I'm a sour fan so I was happy to see a Watermelon Cranberry fruit on the bottom listed on tap. The bartender was very friendly & sincerely apologized that they were having an issue with the taps that delayed her from waiting on me for a while. She served me my sour but I didn't taste it immediately since I was taking a few pics. Before I took my first sip, a man who I'm guessing is the owner came up to the bar and made a comment to the bartender that the wrong sour was posted. He updated the menu to indicate the sour was actually a Mango Pineapple. No apology was offered for the mistake and I wasn't asked if I still wanted the sour despite it not being what I offered. I had already paid so I went ahead and drank what I was served. I wasn't a fan but honestly there is no guarantee that I would have loved the sour I ordered. I found their nonchalant vibe about the situation off putting.

Really cool brewery that seemed to be hidden in what I consider a little strip mall. Lots of great options on top and plenty of regulars (always a good sign). The Head High IPA was exactly what I was looking for- hoppy and piney. Happy Haze was a solid NE IPA. The girl working was attentive and quick- impressed for a crowded brewery. I peeked around the corner and big open area with picnic tables and ping pong. Definitely my type of spot for vacation beer.

Came to this brewery right before closing time. It's a great spot to chill especially if you're a local. Came in and was greeted by the bartender. Everyone there was super nice. I didn't really explore the place much since I just went straight to the bar, but it seemed pretty big, a chill place to hang. I tried some of their beers and ended up getting their hefeweizen. I wasn't too impressed with their beer, but they did have a nice selection. Again, the place was pretty chill and appeared like a local dive bar. I don't know if I would return just because I wasn't a fan of the beer but if invited, I'd definitely show up to hang out. Also not 100 percent sure because I got there late but I don't think they have food either.

This open brewery is a great place for a beer with a wide selection of IPA's and other styles of craft beers. They are dog friendly and human friendly lol. There is plenty of space to sit and enjoy your beer flight or pint pour. They do host game day viewing for all the local sport fans. There isn't a ton of parking on site but there is a lot of street parking available and walking distance from a parking lot. The bartenders here are very nice and attentive to all your alcohol and nonalcoholic needs. They do have a kitchen here that I have not yet tired but the locals tell me the food is great here.

Sweet little brewery within walking distance of our hotel. There was only one lady working, but she was holding it down like a champ. We were surprised to see that we stumbled upon a trivia night going down and wish we had known to show up sooner to participate because we were unofficially doing extremely well. They had an Empire Strikes Back and Led Zepplin pinball machine, the biggest giant Connect Four we've ever seen out of all the giant ones we've seen, 2 dart boards, a shelf of quite a few board games and a ping pong table where some retired looking gentleman named Rooster was showing thr young pups how it's done. As it's my favorite kind of beer, I tried their sour, which unfortunately was a rotating flavor. It was good, but I don't like when a place has a rotating sour instead of making it permanent. My wife got the Boom Shaka Lager off the strength of the name, she said it was alright. We only had 1 each and then had to rush off to get dinner. All in all, it was definitely a spot we would hang out at if we lived in Jacksonville.

I always enjoy visiting Green Room, and honestly time always flies by when I am there. 1 drink turns into 4, I always run into someone I know, and the plethora of dogs hanging out is always a blast. It's true beach bar #nojudgementzone kinda vibe. Whether solo, on a date, grabbing a drink pre date, or hanging with a ton of friends green room is a perfect watering hole. Always a nice array of beers which the staff is knowledgeable about, and usually theres a food truck there too. My brewery pet peeves are glasses that arent clean, glasses that smell like a dishwasher, and beer that isn't chilled to the right temperature. Luckily Green Room knows what they are doing and their glassware & beer is always on point & oh so refreshing. After writing this review I think I'll head back there this weekend :-)

This would be my local hangout if I was a local. Great craft beer brewed on-site plus guest beers. Amazing beer garden. Food truck with rad menu (candied bacon...come on). Games. Did I mention tasty beer?LOCATION AND GAMES: Very close to beach. You just need to cross a busy street. Grab a pint to cool off and play some arcade games, fuse all, ping pong, monster connect four or darts.BEER: Impressed by their beer selection. As a microbrewery, their selection rotates. They also host guest beers so the selection was LARGE. On our visit, the Honey Blonde was my favorite. The Reggae Sour was also fantastic (for those who like sour beers like me). BEER GARDEN: They have a great beer garden out front where you can sit outside when not too hot. It's fake turf, nothing classy but great hangout with patio lounge furniture and bar height seating. A good trailer serves up some yummy treats...including candied bacon. I was so tempted but we were headed out for dinner afterwards.

This was one of the first Jacksonville breweries we tried when first moving to Jax- and it took a long time for us to return. John is the beer guy and I am usually the DD on those occasions because I have no taste for beer. BUT~ I do enjoy cider and I was in luck the last time we were in- they had a cider on tap and I was able to try a sample before buying. Another oddity- I can't seem to drink a pint of cider. Like ever. I can only do short pours. But they were very accommodating and of course- John thoroughly enjoyed his flight. Besides the obvious beer selection- they are very dog friendly, family friendly and just a casual place to hang out. They even have a food truck built in with a deck right out from. Plenty of games to play- oversized games, pool table and more. Beach vibe in spades here.
