- So B1 contributionIncredible. The host was on fire and super professional and funny. Every comedian blew my mind. I didn’t know Jacksonville had quality comedy lol but they do!!!! It was a nice surprise. Really cool, intimate venue. Love what they’re doing, and looking forward to what they become.Written September 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ash MariePembroke Pines, FL8 contributionsHighly recommend Sidecar bar and V's Pizza. Good menu, drink selections, pricing and in walking distance to the Hilton hotels -if you're staying in the area. Their wings and pizza are fantastic! One of my "go to" spots while travelling in downtown Jax.Written February 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PaulaLaLaBFayetteville, GA122 contributionsMy sis and I went to HM's for a fun night out. We had a blast. We had Ludi as our server and he was adorable. I love LUdi!!! He was very attentive and tried so hard to keep up with the crowd.
We were there for Naughty Bingo and we just had so much fun. We ordered two drinks each and they were strong and tasty!!!
We ordered nachos just as an appetizer because previous reviews said beware of food and we listened, thank goodness. They were horrible! They were cold and just yuck. I don't think without alcohol I could've stomached them. How do you screw up nachos you ask? I have no clue. Thought we were safe with nachos. Do not recommend. Eat before and drink there and have fun otherwise!
We won prizes for our bingo win. The announcer was dressed super cute and was so funny. I would definitely recommend this and would totally do it again. Just don't order food and also they aren't very good with keeping up with the food orders and the amount of people and servers. People were getting food at the end of the bingo that had ordered early and were disappointed because it came so late. The kitchen couldn't keep up I guess.Written March 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This visit was much better compared to the past and we enjoyed Ed Bassmaster quite a lot. The Em-cee Bob, not so much; his repertoire consisted mostly of “dick and balls” jokes that got old quick.
As far as service: Our server, Michelle, was friendly, prompt, and attentive. Our food came out very quickly, was hot and tasted great. Drinks were delivered quickly as well.
My only negative feedback is we were seated at a table to the side of stage and speakers and could not hear well. I’d recommend the establishment add side facing speakers.
Overall, it was a good experience.Written April 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hulcote1Milton Keynes, UK106 contributionsI'm not sure what got my wife into this place except that she had had a few wines before at another place. We had been talking about Winston Churchill and you cant talk about him without mentioning cigars. Anyway we dropped in here and both had a cigar! neither of us are smokers although I used to be years ago. The staff were helpful in helping us choose the right cigar and the drinks we had were nice too. The cigar i had was good - Tatiana Waking Dream. Smooth and mellow. Diet coke which accompanied (we were both well oiled by now) was, well, Diet Coke.Written March 20, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ari_intheairSt. Marys, GA113 contributionsStopped off for dinner with a girlfriend before a local performance. The meat was outstanding! I had the brisket sandwich with mac n cheese and she had the smoked wings with collard greens and fries. The brisket was juicy and flavorful, but the mac n cheese left a lot to be desired - good taste but the texture was off. The wings were smoked perfectly, the greens were well-seasoned and the fries were fries. I would definitely return just for the brisket. Overall, I liked the atmosphere but it had just opened so there weren't many people inside.Written May 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark ReyesGuam, Mariana Islands14 contributionsI highly recommend this pool hall:
1. Clean non-smoking environment
(Has a walled off lounge for smokers. )
2. Mixed crowd of singles and couples.
3. Great regulation size tables in good shape.
4. Nice waitresses who ensure you get your drinks in a timely manner.Written May 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Service is always on point and the prices are reasonable. Their burgers are literally the best in town .. hands down… come in and see for yourself!

- StaugregSt. Augustine, FL278 contributionsSo I love this place. A little dark, great music overhead and a great drink selection. Now for the happy hour kick, order a drink and get a 25cent taco. I mean a real stuffed taco for 25cents. You should go!!Written March 12, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daiv SJacksonville Fl USA170 contributionsHaven’t been here in a few years and I am thrilled to report the food is still on point. Myself and partner both ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and were not disappointed.At $21.00 we were skeptical but the sandwiches were superior… huge size, steak done perfectly. It was a real steak , not chopped or shaved and was seasoned perfectly on a toasted Cuban roll. The appetizer we had was pretzel bites and they were piping hot , plentiful and delicious at only $ 8.00 . Great bar food. The ordering process was hit and miss as it’s not clear if you order at the bar or not as there was a server. All in all a great visit!Written January 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- dianaSt. Augustine, FL44 contributionsNot impressed. Don’t understand the “secrecy” - first you almost missed the place because is called Pagoda. Second nobody cares for the “password”. Third you have to be on the “list/reservation” but they make you wait about 15 minutes to get settled. Drinks were 5/10, ones too sweet others felt like drinking jet fuel. Food was the worst part, some overcooked, some too salty. I gave 2 because the poor waiter was struggling with all the clients (the only waiter) but certainly I will not be back or recommend!Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoyfulmusingMaggie Valley, NC92 contributionsThis is fun bar located in downtown Jacksonville. You will easily walk past it if you don't pay attention. They serve good drinks and we had a relaxing evening.Written December 11, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BfmcmDenny, UK544 contributionsThis was a lucky find for us as a hotel receptionist directed us to the Five Points area for food and we found this place. It has an amazing selection of craft ales to purchase or drink on site. It has great staff who are very knowledgeable about the beers. The bar is a really good size with plenty seating. Definitely worth a visit if you are into craft beers.Written September 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
