    The District is one of my favorite spots in Jacksonville! They have a great happy hour with great deals. Great cocktails. Their French onion soup and charcuterie are the perfect apps!

    The District is one of my favorite to go places for solo date night or with good company. There is something for everyone and they serve dishes that you cannot find anywhere else! They also have great weekly specials for food and drinks. My go to dish is the Beef Wellington which is rich in flavor and delicious!

    The District is a must visit for their amazing outdoor dining, delicious food, and perfect happy hours! My favorite is their bottomless mimosas they serve from 11am-3pm. I also really love their cheese board and deviled eggs. It is a mix of the perfect atmosphere with the most much watering food and drinks!

    When I lived in jax and friends came to visit, this was a must-stop to show them! The outdoor dining is one of my favs in Jax + their cocktails always hit the spot. I recommend reserving one of the yurts, it's an experience you don't want to miss out on.

    This spot is perfect for any celebration! Reserve one of their Yurts and partake in their delicious menu. I recommend starting with the Cheese Board and then enjoying the Shepherd’s Pie for the main course. Pair it with a Virgin Pina Colada or the Strawberry Gin Smash for a sweet balance.

    If you are looking for a spot to grab a drink any night of the week, this is the spot! Not only do they have yurts you can rent for big groups, but they have specials every night! They also have AMAZING food options. If you love espresso martinis like me, visit on a martini monday for one of their specials! 🍸
