Upstairs Lounge by bartaco is quickly becoming one of Jacksonville’s favorite spots to unwind. With twinkling string lights, comfortable lounge seating, and lush greenery, it’s the kind of place that feels like an escape—without ever leaving the 904. The elevated views of the St. Johns River and downtown skyline make it an ideal setting, especially at sunset.
What sets Upstairs Lounge apart? A completely new food and drink menu, created exclusively for the rooftop. Drawing inspiration from Peruvian and broader Latin American flavors, the dishes offer a fresh take that goes beyond traditional tacos. Pair that with inventive cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere, and you’ve got a rooftop experience that’s definitely worth planning for.
