I came here with my boyfriend and the doorman flat-out refused to let him in for no reason, no explanation. He just said "no." Then he let other people in right after us without saying a word. It was humiliating and completely unacceptable. It’s 2025 and this kind of behavior shouldn’t exist anywhere. If this is the kind of people they choose to hire, I wouldn’t spend a single dollar here. Also they cops that were there was sad excuses of cops. They acted like they couldn’t do anything. Felt like I was back in a liberal start where there no freedom.

All the bartenders are super friendly and attentive, even with a large bar. I rarely have to wait for a drink or flag down a bartender to get their attention. Lots of great TVs, perfect for watching sports. Some decent table games like pool.

This spot was the our second stop that night and our last. It was awesome in there! Everyone was dancing it was great. No issues with no one and the DJ had a good mix that night. Wish he played some house, then again... I did arrive a little late 😎

I loved the good strong drinks they make, the atmosphere was clean/welcoming/and over just. The dj kept everyone vibing the entire time. It was a great experience and I love the fact they are open until 2pm and I will be going back if ever in Jacksonville Beach area.

What an Awesome place! It seems any time of the day, this is the place to enjoy your favorite cocktail or just grab an ice cold beer. We came over the weekend on Aug 30th to enjoy some collage football and it was such a good time. TVs with all the games, the sound on for the Top games of the weekend. How it should be! The girls working behind the bar were on top of it and so impressive. There was never less then a 100 people inside there it seemed these woman handle their business. It was impressive! Every drink no matter what we ordered was perfect… and we ordered all of them! True bartenders in a world of beer pourers is nice to see. They were polite, courteous and efficient. Top Notch! We will be back and look forward to more collage and pro games to enjoy here for years to come. 10/10 will recommend to everyone.

Horrible place, the music was terrible. Service so bad. Got kicked out because I was speaking to someone over the fence….what kind of bar does that. Would not return. That other bar Lynch’s much better, just down the road. Definitely make your way over there rather than this shit place.

I have been going to the Ritz for 5 years and the last few, I have had the best bartenders Skye and Liv. Skye always makes sure my drinks are perfect. I love seeing them on Tuesdays!
