Tavern On 1st Street

Very cheap drinks. Billiards, darts, pinball. This place is surprisingly always empty. Have read previous reviews with complaints about the bouncers, but have had no problems with them myself. Will continue to come here.

This is everything you could want in a beach bar: ocean front to 1st Street seating for great people watching, competitive drink prices, and friendly staff.

Your bartenders don't care about your guests' safety. Our Uber got there and I tried to go back in to get my friend at 1:30 AM and they said the bar was closed. I said okay I don't want to drink, I just want to get my friend, you can walk with me and get him. He said "you can call him." I said "I tried. He didn't answer. The Uber is here now & we won't spend any more time in your bar" the bouncer did not say a word just shut the door in my face. I went to the Wreck to see if I could get him that way. The bouncer asked me to describe my friend. I said "black man with big butt and checkered pants" he said that wasn't detailed enough and if I was where's my friend then I'd have to share more. Finally, my friend showed up in my view and I pointed "that's him right there in checkered pants!!!" And the bouncer said "I'm sorry, but I can't understand if you're yelling." I was completely sober. I yelled bc I was excited I found him. He was just using toxic masculinity to over power me.

Ok so Steve is seriously the man made us feel so welcomed and made our shots perfectly 10/10!

This is a fun place to go to when you are have already pregamed! I recommend not to buy a drink here since it is very expensive!! I won't blame you if you did tho because I usually buy a round for me and my friends and it will be about $90 for 5 people. The music is lame majority of the time. They play the exact songs over and over. I only been 4 times in a year span and it's the same thing. I can't get lit if the DJ isn't going play bangers. They singing along because they are drunk and trying to have fun with there friends.

Came in to Jacksonville from out of state. Typical bar atmosphere, music was decent, bartenders could be a little more attentive (from one bartender to another) but had a decent time....Banana Old Fashioned---amazing ! Love the twist on a traditional old fashioned ---chocolate bitters and banana liqueur. Wish you guys had large ice cubes though...regular ice waters down a great cocktail .

The do tonight was no bueno, usually this bar is fire but I'm tired of listening to the same 10 songs I heard freshman year of college

This place sucked. As soon as I walkwd in the bouncer was extremely rude and disrespectful. all the workers there struggle with customer service and feel entitled to treat everyone like sh**. I don't recommend going to this place and it needs to be shut down. THIS PLACE SUCKS!

Horrible service. Would not let LGBQT members inside. Turned away at the door even though we had proper identification. Can't believe how rude they were at the door

Lmaooo this place is great but the bartender we had was rude af. I was trying to order a drink and she keeps walking away while I was talking and was bothered that I wanted a second and third drink when she returned from making the first. She then follows by asking me if that was it because she wasn't going to go back and forth yet she wouldn't let me finish an order. When she brought me the third drink she slammed it down making no eye contact and walked away. Until my friend tried to order after me, two drinks and asked for a cup of water. Was told no on the water due to her not making money off a water. When we asked again for the water she completely shut down and wouldn't come back. We were all confused on why she just wouldn't make a water and wanted more details on the reason. While asking why she would make a water she became even more rude. When one of our friends try to check her and bas said "yo i do t know the problem or what we did but having an attitude isn't going to help you tonight. We just got here and trying ti have a good time and spend money but how you acting isn't it." Which lead to her hiding behind the bar and waving her had for the security to kick us out. All over a WATER! When I asked to speak to a manager the security would barley look at me or give any feedback. He finally pointed to a guy with a beard and said he was a manager. When I was talking to him he continued to try and walk away and not hear me out. I think wasn't he realize we had just got here and none of us where even intoxicated and we weren't trying to get back in he heard me out. We weren't trying to get back in you already lost our service. But I do think it's wrong that you have a bartender that is very disrespectful but thinks because she can kick who ever out she can treat people how ever. He told me he just kicks out he doesn't need a reason and would get me the bar manager. Who never came out side to chat about the bad service. I understand they will make more money off others but they won't from our group again. Getting kicked out over a water. Reallllyyy??!!??!? At least let us do something crazy first. The girl with short hair and tattoos good luck girl getting tips baby girl with that attitude you. I know people will laugh or your employees will share this review and not take it serious because we all know each weekend you will be packed af and others won't care about a rude bartender but we came to have a good time and spend money. All because a bartender didn't won't to work or hated her job for the night she ruined our fun at your business. I would love to speak to a manager still about the situation as I do not feel it was far by all means. I understand you're a bar so standards should be low but I would hope as a business you would want to do better.
