Great place to get your game-day on! The bartending staff is awesome! They have a decent selection of beers (though not much for craft, which is more my style). You really cant beat their happy hour, half-off appetizers. Though it's a lot of fried bar-food, it isn't half bad. I would maybe steer away from the fried broccoli; they're not the usual broccoli bites one might think of.
During rugby season, you'll see fans and Axemen team members alike sharing a great time, post-game. This place will get packed and stay that way til closing. Definitely a fun place to have a good time, have a good view of the game and drink a lot of cheap beer!
This place is over the ditch, and I've still been known to cross over on a rainy afternoon for a few drinks and snacks with my buds.
I could have sworn I had previously reviewed this place, but i guess not. First time, loved it. second through about fourth time, it was fun. Then on about the fifth time ..... there was the jalepeno popper incident. It's not like I'm expecting great food at this place, but we are talking about jalepeno poppers. Â The waitress at the bar said they were very popular, so I got an order. Â They looked suprisingly like the jalapeno poppers you can buy frozen, especially at costoc..... but I really like costco poppers. Â So we're enjoying the game, drinking their cheap drinks, and then the poppers come. Â I take one bite and something is wrong. Â I tell me wife, but maybe it's me and not the poppers. Â I somehow stomach the entire popper when I finally realize that they've gone bad. Â The cheese inside must have spoiled. Â (Who knew it was real cheese?!?). Â I tell the waitress that the poppers are bad, and her response.... "no one has ever complained about the poppers." Â She doesn't take them away. Â I tell her I'm done, and that I'm not eating them. Â She doesn't offer to get something else, and they charge we for them.
Now, I know we're talking about probably around $7 so why am I complaining???? Â It's not the cash, but must not care about my business, so I won't give it to them. Â I'm not going to buy drinks there anymore and I will never recommend this place to friends. Â
I know a lot of people go here to watch games and after sporting events. Â The only positives I can think of: there is a lot of room and drinks are cheap. Â But.... do NOT order food and get your beer in a bottle.
This is the official after party spot for the Jacksonville Axemen Rugby Team! Â
The Axemen's season is in full swing, so I recommend getting a schedule and if not able to attend a match, be sure to hit the after party here at Time Out! Â
The food is pretty good and the beer is cheap! Â Not to mention during the after party here it can get pretty raucous indeed with all of the local (and non local) rugby players celebrating their win, recounting the losses and just overall experiencing the camaraderie that encompasses this gentlemen's sport.
Sometimes Time Out also rebroadcasts the Axemen's match on the big screen so those folks who missed the match can watch it again, cold beer in hand. Â Parking here during this kind of event can be a pain as the lot doesn't accommodate the large crowd that hits this bar after the Axemen matches, so carpooling to the after party may not be such a bad idea!
Even when this bar is packed during these after parties, the service here is still amazing as well!
I'm not a sports bar kinda gal, but this place is pretty rocking. Of course you have the beer specials. $3.53 gets you a full pitcher of Long Island Ice Tea, by the way. No, I'm not kidding. A PITCHER of Long Island Ice Tea is only $3.53. Hahaha. A pitcher of beer was about the same price, as well. I ordered a girly drink, but it came out to $6 or $7. Bah Humbug! Lol. (And it wasn't a pitcher.. drat!)
The people here are friendly, and really easy to get along with. Even the waitress was really sweet. I ran into a few old friends here, as well. One of them seemed a bit tipsy, though. Haha.
This is a great place to go if you don't' want to come out smelling like a chimney. There is no smoking indoors and the cover is FREE. You just have to be over 21.
If you get tired of drinking (or you just have crappy tolerance and don't feel like getting sick Lol), they have food. We got nachos for about $6 or so.
If you're done with your drink and your food, they aren't done with you yet. Oh no, you can watch the game on many of the TVs all around the place. You can even play some pool for $1 a game, or test your strength on the punching machine thing.
...And then order another drink, because you know you play better when you drink. Lol.
