Hardwicks

​I stopped by this spot on a Wednesday night right after the Arts Market, and it was the perfect way to wind down. The atmosphere is incredible—the decor gives off a very cool, industrial Brooklyn DUMBO vibe that feels unique for the area. The music was spot on and the overall vibe was super chill. I loved that they had a pizza food trailer parked outside to quell my hunger; the fact that they rotate food trucks weekly is a huge plus for variety. This place is a hidden gem, and I will definitely be becoming a regular here!

I've been going here a lot lately. Everyone is so nice! Including the security team. The bar tenders make me feel so welcomed! Super sweet. Takes care of you. I love them so much. Thank you for making me feel accepted! ❤️

This ended up being our NYE after spot. We made it just in time to catch the last few acts of the drag show🎉 staff friendly, vibes high, entertainment 10. Highly recommend if your open minded and don't judge others for their life choices. 💫

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hardwick’s is truly a gem in downtown Jacksonville. This all-inclusive bar has become one of my absolute favorite places to spend the weekend. The space is gorgeous, the vibe is always welcoming, and it’s clear how much intention goes into creating a safe, uplifting environment for the LGBTQIA community and allies alike. With two full bars, you’re never waiting long for a drink, and the craft cocktails, wines, and beer selections are always top-notch. The energy is unbeatable—there are always great DJs, fun themed nights, and live performances that keep the place buzzing. What I love most is how Hardwick’s has genuinely enhanced the lives of so many people, mine included. It’s a place where you can relax, dance, connect, and truly feel at home. If you’re looking for a fun, inclusive spot with great drinks and even better people, Hardwick’s is the place to be.

Really nice bar and great service! I didn’t even realize it was a gay bar when I first walked in. So as a straight guy i felt very comfortable. On second thought, maybe that is why everyone was so nice. Either way highly recommend!

I’ve made a few visits before I gave this place a review. Drinks are slightly over priced but in this economy. Makes sense. In the comparative sense. It’s better than the other locations I’ve been to. Cover charge applies to Friday and Saturday nights 10 pm. No charge before than. I like the themed events.

It was my second time here. Super friendly staff. Well-appointed lighting and really nice touches to make this cozy and comfortable establishment welcoming to all. Music at the right ✅️ 🎶 level to enjoy and still be able to chat. Nice drink menu with a yummy non-alcoholic selection to enjoy. Definitely will be back at a place that obviously puts quality and their clients in first place.
