To me, I don't see what the big deal is about Lemon Bar. Maybe it's just me, but it just seems to be another outdoor bar that just so happens to be sitting right next to the beach! Yeah drinks are pretty cheap here, but the few times i've been here I never  once thought the drinks were strong.
Review Source:Lemon bar is a great location, it's a bar on the beach. To be completely honest there isn't much to say. It's a bar, its on the beach, and that's about it.
 2 stars because it is average, the only thing it has going for it is the location. we had 3 mixed drinks 2 beers and 1 shot $35.00 and my mixed drinks were not good at all. I know they have to be light on the liquor but dang I don't think mine had any. SO we will not be going back. 2 drink on the rocks just to make sure the first one was just a fluke but nope second one was just the same.
My luck to find the perfect lemon colored stationary swivel chair only to sit butt smack in a puddle of post torrential downpour. Â It left me wet and I had no choice but to kick off my leather loafers and dig bare foot into the sand beneath me. Â It was Thursday and the chalkboard signage read Happy Hour all day...Close till? Gotta love that!
Draft beer was $2 but I was thirsting for something less belchy and super cold. I asked the bartender for a recommendation and she told me I looked like a Spicy Sailor Colada. I had no clue what that was but totally agreed. Â She was awfully nice.
It was a tasty colada and that dark rum floater really hit the spot. I enjoyed a couple rounds, made small talk and played catch up. Man I loved that gentle breeze and enjoyed the sounds of jovial passersby frolicking along the beach nearby.
The perfect ending to a 12 hour work day.
My favorite bar at the beach! Â Overlooking the ocean and attached to a no-frills hotel, the Lemon Bar is a meeting place for locals and a must-visit for tourists. Â My favorite frozen drink is the Lemon Bar Freeze which is made with ice cream mix. Â The bartenders work hard and are friendly. Â The food is decent (but who goes there for the food). Â Stop here after a hot day at the beach.

I think I've listed the essentials. This place may have slow service but guess what, they are BUSY and serve ice cold drinks....
Ahh, Lemon Bar. I can smell the sunscreen and taste the Lemon Freezes just thinking about it. While the other reviewers are right that the staff can be a little, er, bristly, and the crowd is usually thick, I still find myself returning year after year to this Neptune Beach staple. You can hang out in various stages of undress, from your Friday night cocktail dress to your teeny tiny Brazilian-cut bikini, which naturally makes for unparalleled people watching. On special days like Dancing In The Streets, they expand the party out onto the lawn of the Seahorse Motel and add an additional bar, DJ booth, and cornhole. Fun! Wish they did that more often. Although it's usually a battle royale to snag a table, once you do the service is efficient and you won't have to get up to order from the bar. Despite it's downfalls, Lemon Bar is one of the most famous bars in Jacksonville with good reason. One tiny suggestion that would make it even better... live music!!
Review Source:I totally agree with one of the other Yelpers on the rude doorman. Â We had a horrible experience here last weekend. Â It's a bummer that they have jerk-offs working here because their space is incredible right along the beach. Â We will never come back which sort of breaks my heart but I will not patronize a place who treats their customers the way we were treated.
Review Source:The Lemon Bar is ALL about location. One of the very few beachfront bars in the Beaches area. A great place to enjoy a cocktail and the ocean breeze. I personally enjoy it more during the "off" season when it's not so crowded. I have mostly always had horrible service here - but of course keep going back because of - once again - LOCATION.
Review Source:Don't expect to get a lot of people in here that are remotely drunk. Â My wedding party got turned down by an arrogant, rude doorman in the back, when we all had 14 rooms there! Â First off it was to dark to even see the people coming in to notice having red eyes..... and after I made myself known as the groom and knowing workers there to get some credibility he started to reject people to rub it in. Â Thee worst experience, ever. Â Grandparents, aunts, uncles, we had 30 folks there and they couldn't let everyone in. Â And we weren't even drunk because we were only at a 2 hour happy hour beforehand. Â Some of these rejected friends then tried the front brightly lit door by the policeman and doorman and were let it, proving the back doorman just wanted to be a ?$!!@...
This is why we stayed at this hotel, convenience/the bar and was disgraced. Â I have been going here for 8 years, know the bartenders very well, some good friends, and the managers, but never plan on stepping foot back in there again.
Astonishing. Â An experience I'll never forget.
This was the slowest, most disorganized food service I've ever experienced. Â I understand that this place is known as a bar. Â But don't offer a food menu if you can't serve it!
We had about 18 people sitting together at hightops, outside enjoying the evening air. Â It was a slow Tuesday night, less than half full. Â We all ordered food, along with drink reorders, on one pass by the waitress, Â Sounds good, right? Â The drinks came, and then, over the course of about AN HOUR AND A QUARTER, food arrived, one, two, or three at a time. Â Five to ten minute gaps between servings. Â No one could believe it. Â One of the guys ordered four servings of chips for the group. Â They arrived last, after all the food. Â When he enquired part way through, he was told that they were "ordered last" therefore they'll be brought out last.
This was not complicated - burgers, coconut shrimp, fries, simple food. Â It's beyond me how a well-established bar/restaurant can screw this up so bad.
By the way, the food was good.
I love Lemon bar! Â Located right on the beach, this has to be one of the best beach hangouts for drinks that I know of. Â I've only been during the day but they are primarily a bar. Â They don't sell food and let you bring in your own, or order from near by.
On a hot summer day their frozen drinks and beer are the best. Â Get there early if you want to secure a table but 2pm they are really packed. Â REALLY PACKED. Â
I think this is a great place to meet friends and just catch up and hang out in the sun. Â Bring sun screen and enjoy!
I found it harder to find the first time around...it's located in the back of the pink hotel on Atlantic. Â There is nearby parking but, again, come early for that to be optimal. Â Frozen drinks run about $7 to $8 but on a super hot, humid Florida afternoon a few is totally worth the price.
I love this little spot on the beach! They always have different drinks for their happy hour. It can get packed randomly so be sure to grab a table asap. My friends and I enjoy playing cards at the table while having a few drinks. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. There's always a range of people here. Douchebag frat guys, tatted up people, old folks, tourists, people just getting off from work, etc. It's interesting.
I do not recommend the fish tacos. Wow... very bland.
The Lemon Bar is the best way to enjoy the beach and a good cocktail at the same time. Part of the bar is resting on the edge of the dunes, which does seem wrong. The frozen cocktails are a little on the weak side, but they are very inventive concoctions. On Thursdays, they have $2 drafts; I had the Sweetwater Blue. The best time to go is at twilight since it is not too hot and the view is amazing. At night, it has a really mixed crowd of young and middle-aged patrons. I find it disappointing at night since the view is gone.
Review Source:Ok, so my view might be skewed due to the fact that I've been to some awesome beach bars on the west coast. Â Lemon Bar is a hip place to have a drink with an "almost" view of the water. Â
The crowd can be from 21-80, but more of a young crowd with Tattoos galore! Â It's the place to be seen in Jax/Neptune beach. Â The signature lemon drink is a fun way to start your weekend boozing session. Â
They do have cornhole set's if you are interested.
In an recent trip, they didn't let me bring in my Starbucks drink. I was only halfway done drinking it. The bouncer said they had a policy about outside beverages. I didn't ask about food - so you might want to ask before buying something to bring there. At least the bouncer was apologetic and not rude about it.
Review Source:great little place
still one of the beaches HIDDEN treasures I guess
On the beach so breezy and nice
open air seating
circle bar so easy get a spot
inside hotel patio area so can stumble into your room and not drive home if needed be.
Decent priced drinks and sometimes free cozies
Night time light torches sometimes
Pool light up at night
I like it
Yea, we like this place. Â What's not to like being on the beach with the wind blowing through your hair and a stiff drink in your hand??! Â It is attached to the Seahorse Inn. Â Which, thank god, has come a long way baby. Â When we roamed the beach as teenagers the Seahorse was known as the place people could rent a room by the hour, if you know what I mean?!
The crowd is mixed in ages and all laid back. Â The drinks are strong and reasonably priced.
The Lemon Bar is the best place to drink at the beach. It's location right on the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean makes it prime for anyone walking, sunning, or swimming at the beach to come on in for a drink. Of course because of this most bar goers are in beach attire (yay!)
Lemon bar is totally outdoors so prepare for that. You can burn pretty easily when drinking outdoors. You can always spot a few drunken lobsters in the crowd. Wear sunblock!
The crowd skews younger, though some older folks do come out. Very laid back crowd.
The drinks are strong. Good for most, bad for some.
The Lemon Bar is the quintessential beach bar of the Jacksonville Beaches. Well, other than the ever so swanky Ponte Vedra Club, which requires loads of cash to get into [or a wonderful friend or relative who has a membership and will take you with them!] But if you aren't able to afford a yearly membership to the PV Club, then this is the place to get a cold cocktail by the water on a hot summer [or winter] day.
The Lemon Bar is attached to The Seahorse Inn, another quintessential Jacksonville Beaches spot... notorious for its pink exterior and kitschy decor [actual seahorses, seashells, etc etc etc] and it's prime location in Neptune Beach.
But, you don't have to be a guest at this gem of an Inn to check out The Lemon Bar. All are welcome!
This place is an great place to stop in at after a few hours in the hot sun and the hot hot sand. In this scenario, I always opt for the frozen lemonade ice cream concoction [&7 - I can't remember its exact name, but if you spout off those descriptive phrases they will know what you mean]. It is soft, cold, sort of like an icee, sort of like a milkshake, sort of like some lemonade, and definitely tipsy approved. Â
The Lemon Bar is also a great place to check out at night, though, as well. It's only open 'til 12am, so don't make this your last stop of the night. They make any great drink you can imagine [pretty much, although don't let your mind run wild]. They also have a temporary bar at the back of the patio if you are looking to avoid the lines [although there are never really terrible lines].
You can enjoy this place in nothing but a bikini, or in a short minidress and a pair of heels. It's awesome. It's on the beach. Enough said.
Best place to drink in Jax. I don't think you can legally drink any closer to the beach in NE Florida than LB.
Watched the space shuttle launch from Canaveral one night while hanging out with friends. It was one of those "life is damn good" moments; drinking with great friends outside with great weather, the smell and sound of the ocean, America doing what we do in other frontiers, and every patron proudly snapping pics and sending to their friends and family.
They have some cheap cornhole boards if you want a little activity. They close earlier than most bars due to the hotel up front needing to limit noise for their guests. Also, closed during the winter.
Lemon bar is a great location, it's a bar on the beach. Full of young and old alike. To be completely honest there isn't much to say. It's a bar, its on the beach, and that's about it. Great location but a beer is a beer.
 2 stars because it is average, the only thing it has going for it is the location. If you don't need to have you XX on the beach, then skip.
