Like it’s name implies, Bold City Brewery is named after the one and only Bold City. With two locations in Jacksonville, one on Rosselle street and one located on East Bay Street in downtown Jacksonville, there’s multiple chances to try out their delicious brews! What first began with home brewing in 2002, Bold City Brewery is now one of the most iconic and certainly one of the best breweries in Jacksonville.

Legacy Ale Works

The next time you find yourself driving down Old St. Augustine Road, stop in for a delicious brew at Legacy Ale Works! Family-owned and operated, the owners have traveled from Key West to California studying dozens of breweries in order to produce great beer. They also offer food, wine, events, parties, and more. We recommend the Iz Mah Birfday Stout and not only because the name is awesome but because it’s treated with raspberry and chocolate. Can you say yum?

Veterans United Craft Brewery

Veterans United Craft Brewery is a local brewery, home to some of the most delicious beer, laid-back vibes, and great bites. We couldn’t choose just one beer, so we each ordered a flight and we found so many new favorite drinks! We also ordered some of the pretzel bites with the made in house beer cheese and we have just one word… YUM. Not only is this a great spot to hang out, but they also offer tours of their taproom, so you can get a taste of what this brewery is like behind the scenes. Offering up growlers to-go and being pet-friendly, it’s no wonder this is one of the best breweries in Jacksonville!
