Wow, what an amazing location right down town on the water. Too bad the amazing (or even enjoyable) part of the visit ended right there. We opted to sit in the less formal pub area that is run down, a bit musty and almost no one here on a Saturday afternoon. I imagined with this location it would be crowded. They had five or so house brews available to try. Rumor has it they only brew beer about once every three months. I guess the demand is very low. But that means some of this light weight (not meant to be aged) beer I’m trying is more than a year old. The quality of the beer confirms it as the beer had no aroma, very tired yeast and various off flavors (when there actually was flavor to be sensed). I don’t think I’ll come back here for any reason.

Visited with ibrew2or3. WARNING!!! avoid this dump. They have a huge building right by the waterfront which could be an amazing beer garten. Unfortunately, this place is falling apart, at least that’s the impression I got after walking in. Looks nice and spacious until you are rerouted to the side bar which looks like the crummy area and makes you feel like an untouchable. Waiter looked passionately bored and almost insisted on sharing his boredom, The place had this old mid 80’s feel with tap handles that reminded me of smoked out mom and pop bars in Europe. Beer selection had some of the RCBC beers served in wonderful cheap plastic cups that definitely helped enhance the below average beers. Sadly for a brewery, they sell the disgusting BMC beers which really doesn’t make a lot of sense. Lucky for us, the beer samples were free. Most of the beers were either stale, flavorless, boring at best. Leading us to believe that they either brew once every blue moon or that they don’t clean the lines and keep the beers for months before brewing new batches. This was later confirmed to us by outside sources. Food was nothing exceptional. It’s sad because they have a prime location that could easily be an amazing beer spot, instead you have a rundown restaurant that is trying to look "in".

Nice building downtown on the waterfront. Big patio outside, boring non descriipt decor inside. Five house brews on tap. Lots of BMC. Seems like a destination top spot with beer as the side show. Not recommended.

A splendid riverside setting wasted on a depressing brewpub. The scenery does make up for the corporate monstrosity that this is but the plastic cup samples of horrible brews put it right back in the gutter.

I have had dinner about 3 times here. The beer selection is ok. I guess I have been spoiled by Penn Brewery in Pittsburgh.

Right on the water - great location. Big place was pretty empty on a cold rainy night and felt completely dead. It was cold as hell in there, too. Worst, though, was the beer. The porter was actually pretty good but three of the five beers were full of diacetyl and completely undrinkable. It was a quick exit.

The positives....the food was basically tasty and the location is nice. Visited last month. Their pub brews are literally the worst I’ve ever had. The porter is an absolute joke. The dominant characteristic among all the beers is a total lack of any distinguishing flavors. It was amazing.....didn’t think a brew pub like this could actually (in good conscience) sell beer this poor. There is NO reason to visit this place....avoid at all costs. I was there with Brock that day. He’s being too nice. The beer completely sucks. I sent every beer I tried back.

Visited in March. Nice brewpub literally on the water in downtown Jacksonville. The menu options were more high-end than typical brewpub fare, but prices (at least at lunch) were not exorbitantly high. Sampled two of their beers and was not overly impressed with either. Definitely a nice place to eat in the area, but dont make a special trip for the beer.

Their ambiance is awesome. A bit dressy for brewing. Their beers were not the best, their food was good, but not much to write home about.

Very cool place right on the water. They had a buffet going for Sunday and it was very good. Waitress was very nice as was the bartender.As a palce to hang it is very cool, but the beer is just barely drinkable.
