Stopped in to check this place out. The bar is large so we found a few seats and were quickly greeted by a bartender. The beers were cold and service was fast. It seems this is a local gathering hole which is cool.Pool table in the back. The tunes were great. I am sure we will be back!

The Pub is a go to dive bar in my area. I may start at a restaurant up to the street but you may possibly find me here with my friends at the end of the night. Warning, if you do not like smoke do not come here as it can get pretty smoky when it is busy. On the positive side they have a full bar and some menu items. I have never eaten here but the drinks have always been on point. If you like to play games while you drink you are in luck. The have pool tables and darts for your entertainment. The bar is pretty big and there are a few tables as well. My last trip here was on New Years Eve. The bartender served me and my friend a shot (that we shared and I don't remember the name of the liquor because it was NYE:) that he told us most bartenders drink after they get off work and go to another bar. It was high in alcohol content. That story was to show you the customer service is pretty good which is why I rated a four star!

This was a quick in and out for some miniatures to conceal and add to the pop I planned to order at the concession stand at the movie theater. And a couple of .99 cent vodka miniatures didn't really need me to ask for help in my selection I figured if the movie was a dud at least I can say the slow sipping in the dark would make up for the pending possibilities. As I approached there was a tatted young woman with closely shaven hair on the sides and higher volume on top with a little kiss curl to boot. She was puffing on a cigarette outside as I was approaching with a speed that meant I was in a hurry and as we locked eyes she knew I was headed to her establishment to buy some hooch. So she took a long drag, flocked it to the asphalt, blew the smoke away from me and her but the wind had other plans and shifted to waif it back in her face and I caught just the smell and partial dissipating cloud of menthol. At least she was courteous and had a sense of urgency when she saw potential business approaching. Sorry I interrupted her smoke break as the only person womaning the liquor shop at that time. Inside was cluttered but one was able to navigate. The atmosphere smelled of a slight mustiness and dampness; but not overpowering the senses. As far as a corner of the strip mall liquor store goes it met my expectations. I wasn't in Total Wine per se, but who am I to be picky as I was only in because I spotted it from the highway a few blocks from the theater and I was looking for quick spirits to conceal in my covert actions I had yet to pull off successfully. I actually chose a vodka I wasn't aware of and asked the lady about it. She recommended it and told me why to my pleasing. She was courteous and helpful and I was pleased all the way around with my visit. I'll probably stop in again if I'm ever back near the beach and need an emergency hooch run.

Great atmosphere- typical of what you would expect for a pub. However the old fashioned was horrible. It wasn't served in the right glass, the entire process and final product was all wrong. It was a shame. We walked in with high hopes.

My favorite pub/ bar in jacksonville . All of the bartenders ( some Better than others ) are so kind and attentive and always make you feel at home in this bar. They have plenty of space for multiple games of pool and darts etc. They also have this really fun electronic jukebox that you can pick and play any song on or even download the app and play from your phone! The prices are always the best here as well! I came to this pub once and never really liked going to others afterwards because you get treated with great service and respect in here - as almost everyone is a regular . Bathrooms are well kept however late nights sometimes parking can be limited.

I love the Pub. It's a bar located next door to the drive-thru and open-til-2am-everyday liquor store, Celebration Liquors. It's quaint and definitely a spot for neighborhood regulars. The bartenders are always friendly, hilarious, and not stingy with the pour, and don't doubt that they'll remember you and what you like to drink. Very reminiscent of Cheers. The drink prices are very reasonable. A few pool tables, a couple arcade games, two dart boards, and seating areas with old school overstuffed leather chairs top it all off. Negatives: Yes, this place can get super smoky, mainly on the weekends. Actually, at times this place can achieve a smokiness level that far surpasses any where else I've been. I'm not a cig fiend, though I can deal with the smoke, but I know it can really irritate a lot of people. Also on the con side, this often receives the excess riff raff stumbling home from Jax Beach crawls, so "excitement" is possible to ensue upon a visit. But is this fact unlike the situations at other bars? Not by any means. Good thing Denny's is right across the street if you're needing a meal to soak up the alcohol.Random positives: spacious and never-nasty bathrooms with cool little chalkboard section. Good quality darts. Quirky old-fashioned touches everywhere, like you're in Grandpa's study.

We were there playing pool there for several hours on the "main table". Mind you it's 6:45 on a Sunday. It's not "league or tournament night". A random guy walks in and talks to the bartender named Doug. Next thing we know, "Doug" walks over and begins to explain to us that the table we are playing on is the "champions table" and that when "certain people" come in and request that table, they get it. Meanwhile there are two other pool tables completely open. We had more than $5 in quarters sitting on the edge of the table and hap planned to spend a few more hours playing. We also spend quite a bit of money in that place. We were so disgusted that we left all of the quarters sitting on the table. "Doug" told us he would take care of our tab as a courtesy to make up for the inconvenience. We don't want anything for free. That was purely an insult. We make plenty of money. All we want is to go to a place and be able to play pool and drink in piece. We threw $20 on the bar for our tab and will now never go to The Pub again because of some stupid bullshit. I sincerely hope that this random guy is worth losing our continuous business. Fuck the Pub :)
