Surfer The Bar

We had a super fun time here on a Friday evening - happy hour runs until 8pm and the drinks were awesome (and affordable!). We went upstairs where the DJ was and it took a while for any dancing to really get going, but once it did, it was a good crowd. Mix of hip hop and techno (we sat out for the techno). Would have loved more 90s/2000s rap. Seemed like the crowd felt the same about the techno (blah) - just play the "classics" and people will dance! A really cool place though - we will be back!

I love when this place is open during the day, it's a good place to chill and drink. Nice upstairs. it, it's a bar.

Let an underage person in the bar, then blamed the entirety of the party that had been spending money, on the mistake of the establishment. Incredibly low class and quite frankly embarrassing.

Paul (the bartender) was AMAZING! such a cute spot and the drinks were awesome! def a place to check out if you're in jacksonville beach!

Whoever the manager is on MLK day was a complete condescending and rude individual. I would not like someone like him representing my restaurant!!!2pm: we saw the large screen on and checked in to see if they would be showing the Eagles vs Bucs playoff game with sound. Given they are usually closed Monday and Tuesday we wanted to make sure this would be the spot to watch the game. We were assured they would be showing the game with sound by the day time bartender. 8pm: Came back for the game. Maybe 20 people in the bar. Sweetest and nicest female bartender- looks like a Barbie doll- asks the manager twice to put the game and sound on. Manager tells her to tell us wait a bit until the place clears out. We wait for the first quarter... mind you half the patrons in the bar are watching the game and the rest don't give AF what's happening. We ask the manager directly for sound on the game and explain we asked earlier and were told they would have the game and sound on. Manager tells us "oh you made the mistake thinking you were In charge" and "oh so you're gonna give me an ultimatum"? No- we just politely explained why we had the expectation we could have sound and the game given our interaction with the bartender earlier in the day and because we just left Brix sports bar around the corner who had way more TV's and sound. So Why would we stay somewhere that isn't a true sport bar catering to sports fans during the NFL playoff if that truly wasn't their intention. I even asked if we could ask the other patrons if they minded if we had the sound on- he responded "they are here for MLK day" not NFL. Hello- it's a Monday night in January! And a holiday! Ain't nobody trying to be at the club! We want to watch Football! Playoff Football!! Only place In Town with a theatre screen but doesn't cater the sports patrons. SMH! No wonder why Brix is packed and y'all barely got 20 people... If you're the owner of Surfers- it really doesn't hurt to be pleasant to your holiday patrons and oblige their simple request of sound for an NFL playoff game. If it's not something y'all do, no biggie, but clearly it's been done given the response by your bartenders. Won't be back. Def hit up Brix. More TV's and sound for your sports needs. Bartenders may not be as friendly but they get the job done with no complaints. Oh and your bartender is moving to Nashville she told us cause she can't stand working there either ‍

I enjoy it a lot more during the day! Less crowds, get to enjoy being close to the ocean! It definitely has a huge night life scene but I recommend going during the afternoon for a more relaxing low key experience!

Whit is the MAN. He is SMECKSY and fun and the best bartender, if you don't give him all your money you are just silly.

Drinks were cheap and it had lots of space but the music was TRASH. No one was dancing just hopping around like idiots. They played no Latin, rap/hip-hop, rock, pop like come onnnWouldn't go back

Staff indicated families and children not welcome. restaurant was extremely dirty from my own observation. Based on my own observation, not a place I would not bring anyone here to eat.

Food is absolutely awful, terrible service. Worth mentioning the bouncers at night decided to flirt with my girlfriend and kick me out. Pretty sad they need to be mid 30s working at a bar to meet a young lady.
