I love stopping at any Island Girl location in Jax when I happen to be in town. No liquor at this location was a let down, so I could only sit and keep my allergies in check while the boys enjoyed their cigars. I have a peeve about being reminded what time it is in relation to closing time. It makes me want to ask if they really want me there or not. Unsure if this was because some locals were smoking something better fitted for their living rooms, but we had no problems and our group quietly sat down at the bar hoping we'd get service. Had a fine time as always thanks to good company. Can't wait to go back, just sorry I got that "let me fucking close already" vibe from the staff.
Review Source:No liquor? Â That was my only complaint. Â Seriously, what cigar bar isn't going to serve up a mojito, Scotch or whiskey? Â Me and my boy Swan were drinking beers all night, so it wasn't a problem for us, but La Chica and her sister weren't, so they were left with nothing to drink except hopes and dreams. Â LOL
Besides that, the place was small, or quant rather. Â Unlike the Island Girl we visted last year in Ponte Verda, it was a lot more intimate, and that's not a problem. Â In fact, I might prefer this smaller locale to it's Ponte Verda counterpart, to be honest. Â
The cigar selection, also much smaller than the other location, had all of the essential offerings, including the Drew Estate JAVA line, which is one of my favorite "quick" smokes.
Service was friendly as well. Â Will definitely return the next time I'm in Atlantic Beach.
This place was great. They have a decent cigar selection in a humidor. They didn't have the one I wanted, but they had enough dependable cigars that I was able to find something. The bartender/waitress was very attentive and friendly. The drink prices were PHENOMENAL! We got 24 ozs of Stella for about $4. Can't beat it!
Review Source:Service was iffy but it was a Saturday night so it could be that they were just slammed. The cigar selection seemed decent and the alcohol selection was very good for a cigar joint. Decent layout, comfortable but as the night wore on it felt in some ways more a upscale sports bar than the type of place it was supposed to be. If I was in the area again, I would check it out but based on the pain in the ass parking, and the above observations , doubtful I'd go out of my way to visit again.
Review Source:Refined, relaxed and rarely crowded, Island Girl is a true hidden gem of the beaches! Although it's located in Neptune Beach proper, an area generally heavy with foot traffic, this cigar bar somehow manages to duck away from the maddening crowd. Named after the owners' sailboat, which they used to island hop the Bahamas, this little haven certainly transports it's patrons to island time! No bright paint or cheesy music here though, just dim lighting and a cool, clean, adult feel.
Walk in and you're instantly greeted with the fragant aroma of fine, fine cigars and polished wood. Plop down in a cushy, couchlike barstool and pick your poison. With 28 draft beers, a sizable wine selection, and thousands of cigar options from the Dominican, Nicaragua, and Honduras (Cubans are illegal), Island Girl's got something for everyone -- unless of course you want Purple Hooter Shooters or a Beyonce song, then you might need to locate the door, quick like!
Our bartender, Kristin, was beyond laid-back and very knowledgeable yesterday, coolly describing the flavor profiles of numerous beers as she sparked up my friends cigar like a pro. I surveyed the cozy, calm, lounge and decided it would be an enlightened idea to bring a chess set and wile away a lazy afternoon here some rainy day. Oh, so serene! If you're looking for a chilled out, grown-up hangout, I'd recommend Island Girl Cigar Bar without question.
Great selection of stogies...missing a few standards, but balanced that with some awesome special finds. Â They only serve beer and wine; I would have preferred a scotch with my RP DECADE Special Edition, but the selection of beers and wines is just as impressive as the cigars. Â A Great Place to relax and talk with your buddies or your honey.
Review Source:My absolute favorite place to get a drink in all of Jacksonville. No meatheads, no bums and rarely an idiot allowed inside. Â You'd be surprised at the beer selection, which is second only to Kickbacks and maybe Engine 15. Â Lots of standby beers joined by rotating selections from some great craft brewers like Cigar City, Southern Tier and Dogfish Head.
Just the kind of bar I like: quiet, relaxing and sophisticated.
A home away from home. Â Great beer selection and phenomenal cigar selection. Â I travel quite a bit and always looking for a good place to go and have a smoke and a drink, Â I've finally found it. Â Friendly and knowledgeable staff and and atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. Â No hard liquor and normally that is a prerequisite for a fine cigar establishment but that doesn't seem to matter in this case because of all the beers. The wine lovers will enjoy this place too. Live music on Fridays adds to the good times.
Review Source:Co-owner Rick serves up cigars, draft beer and wine in Neptune Beach. Â Prices are reasonable and the regulars are friendly to out of towners. Â
Comfortable leather chairs complement the typical bar set up. Â A great place to relax with new friends.
I visit NAS Mayport on business and when I am in town I have found a new cigar home away from home.
Highly recommended.
