Dining and Nightlife

Much like the community itself, the Jacksonville restaurants scene is an eclectic hybrid of inspired casual elegance and classic southern comfort, infused with the unmistakable flavor of the coast and a dash of international flair. From local eateries and fish camps to four-diamond cuisine and urban hotspots, there is a restaurant for every taste.

End the evening with a colorful nightlife scene as varied as it is vibrant. With a diverse demographic, and the youngest average age of Florida's top metropolitan destinations, sundown in Jacksonville provides lively entertainment venues, salty seaside dive bars and trendy watering holes anchor the Jacksonville beaches. While in the city center, an urban revival draws the Downtown pioneers to the hip new offerings along the Bay Street strip. Neighboring San Marco and Avondale add a touch of sophistication to the evening entertainment, balanced by the funky coolness of live music and spoken-word performances found in Five Points.

Great dining and nightlife packages available here!

With our proximity to the ocean, one would think fresh seafood is our best seller. And it is, but Jacksonville offers so much more. From Southern-fried chicken to sushi, steak or barbecue, Jacksonville has a restaurant to satisfy every taste and every budget.  When the day's work or touring is done and the delicious meal has been enjoyed, it's time to be entertained. If you want live theater, feel like dancing or visiting one of our local watering holes, great nightlife can always be found in Jacksonville.
