Bottlenose Brewing

Bottlenose Brewing absolutely rocks! Came in on a Friday and the atmosphere was fantastic. And guess what goes great with their awesome beer selection? Dessert! They were offering half-price Zeppole tonight, and let me tell you, it was a must-try. I paired it with their "Unholy Confection" (love the name!) and even strategically saved room by only eating half my burger. Speaking of food, the fried pickles were out of this world – seriously addictive. The staff was friendly, the beer was cold and delicious, and that Zeppole was the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. #HappyFriday indeed! Bottlenose Brewing is doing it right. Highly recommend checking them out, especially if they have that Zeppole on the menu!

The new food menu is exceptional! So far in the new limited time pizza options, I have LOVED the Trademark Infringement. Flavor was fantastic. The bar staff is always super sweet and very attentive. This place is counter service style where you have to walk up to the bar to get served. The staff is really great about going around to the tables to make sure you’re doing good or need another beer and even asking how your food was. Every Saturday is LIVE MUSIC with a variety of different music from bands to solo acts that typically begin at 8pm. Through the week they have great deals on beer and food. This a great place to check out Tuesday through Sunday but I hear they’re opening on Mondays soon! They have a variety of in house brewed beers. Honestly, it seems like there’s something for everyone. This place is also FAMILY friendly AND dog friendly. Games for kids, treats and water bowls for pups. 🖤

Driving through looking for a brewery near by and came across this place. Place was pretty empty. Music/TVs weren’t overly loud. Ended up getting the Thai pizza which was great! However, customer service was lacking. Tried to make small talk w/bartender, he gave short answers and didn’t seem all that interested. I could see directly into the part of the kitchen where the ready food was to be given to the customers. My pizza sat under the heat lamp for 10 minutes as workers walked by it.

This establishment took over when world of beer left many moons ago. They’ve got great food and their house beer is decent as well. I tried the chicken club on brioche with aioli. Highly recommend this and the house brewed Helles Lager to accompany it.

Love my bar. Best food, best beer..atmosphere is great and people are awesome!! 👏 Favorite place to work. Owners are the best and care about their employees and customers! Bottlenose has come very far very quick! I 10/10 recommend!!! Plus the bartenders are awesome!! The cook is on point every time! Just do it!!! Goooo 🫶

Jesse and Abby are just amazing bartenders! They both go above and beyond the call of duty in their job description!! Couldn’t ask for better bartenders locally either! Jesse has a very charismatic personality and Abby has a spunk to her that’s very genuine! The food is fabulous too! Thank you Kevin for making everyone’s food by yourself! You’re absolutely incredible Kevin!! This is a great place for families to come early and perfect for adult night life!

Met the new ownership & they’re so nice! We already enjoyed coming here for a beer & board games but will be back even more often now. Recommend the Golden, Sour patch Sour, OJ Golden & Peanut flavored Stout.

There must be a magician in the kitchen, the fried pickles and Oklahoma smash burger were absolutely to die for! Nicole was incredibly helpful on assisting us in selecting the beers in our flights. 10/10 will be back soon for more fried pickles

Super nice brewery in a great location! We loved this place and the atmosphere. Their staff were incredible and the beers were damn good! Would definitely go back to this place for sure!

This isn't my favorite brewery in town but I still really like it here. They always have a good selection and variety of beers on tap so there's a little bit of something for everyone. I have a diverse group of beer drinking friends and everyone can find something they like here. They have a good amount of IPAs, stouts, sours, and some easy to drink beers. If you're a fan of coffee beers like me, make sure you try their current coffee flavored brew on tap because they rotate it frequently but have never disappointed me. They're suddenly carrying quite a few non-alcoholic brews on tap too so if you're looking for something like that this is a good place. I would definitely suggest getting a flight (they are reasonably priced too) to start if you're not sure of what to drink. It's a nice place to just go and chill with friends. Perfect for catching up and having a pseudo-early night. They have board games available and a pinball machine. Service is pretty good. The staff is friendly but they usually don't have many bartenders staffed (even on weekends) and they can sometimes get pretty slammed so bring your patience. A nice touch is that you're allowed to bring in outside food the hours that their kitchen is closed. So, during that time, you can grab some Mellow or even something from the fast food restaurants nearby to enjoy with your beer! Overall, a nice quiet brewery. If you haven't been here at least once, you really need to give it a try.

Pretty solid brewery that is also a sports bar. Great beer selection, most brewed on premises. Our female bartender was great. Very helpful & friendly. The prices are what you'd expect in a brewery & the food is typical pub food, decent but not what you'd come for. Lots of TVs if you're here to watch sports.

One of the best experience we had from the moment we arrived the welcoming and friendly staff was beautiful. The owner and brewer are there to guide you and help you in your journey of beer selection. I only had and appetizer but the food looks fantastic. New place to have some fun.

Bottlenose Brewery is always a blast! Jacksonville Engineering Societies Together (JEST) has had our Annual Pumpkin Carving and Costume Contest the past three years and bottlenose never disappoints. Charlie and Sean were great to us as they accomodated for about 40 Engineers in the Jacksonville Civil Engineering Community. The burgers and drink selection were A1 Steak Sauce plus we had the Jags Games on all the big screen TVs. Great time & Ambience, We'll be back again next year!

This place NOSE their beer! HUGE selection of beers in tap that were brewed on premise! Food menu is decent, with some delicious amped-up pub food items. Amazing beer selection with creative recipes and its hard to believe they brew most all of it themselves. CHOCOLATE MINT STOUT - this was on point. Its a higher ABV so be careful. Rich chocolate flavor with mint backdrop. GRAPEFRUIT IPA - I would drink this all the time if I lived in Jacksonville. Perfect balance of flavors and refreshing. It is also a good food pairing beer. PINA COLADA GOLDEN ALE - Coconut explosion I'm your mouth. I like the first few sips but then bece overwhelmed with coconut. I think it could be better balanced. Food menu isn't large but more extensive than some pubs and certainly more amped up. SWAP FRIES - OMG, don't miss out on the swamp fries. Fries topped with roasted pork, bacon, beer cheese, BBQ sauce and bottlenose sauce. You can upgrade normal fries that come with your entree to these, which is what we did. Just don't tell your doctor about what you ate. FRIED GREEN. BEANS - Table next to us ordered them and theyoomed really good. I'd try them next time. JALAPENO CRUNCH BURGER - Good burgers. Jalapeno crunch was superb. I loved the fried onion texture. The jalapenos are hot! BAD MOTHER CLUCKER - Buffalo chicken sandwich. Wife ordered this and loved it (She is a buffalo chicken fanatic),

I had a really great time here a couple weeks ago! I probably tried 5 beers (dont worry I had a DD), and one beer blew me away! It sounds crazy but their pina colada beer is SO DELICIOUS! I'm writing this review today because I can't wait to go back & have it again- may even take some to go. Bartenders were quick & attentive, and it was a great space for a big group of friends. We enjoyed the sports on the tvs and playing jenga on the patio.

I came here last night for an American Outlaws World Cup watch party and I really liked the vibe of the place when I first walked in. There's a real comfortable feeling and the staff were super friendly to me and to everyone else too. I liked how many regulars there were coming around and saying hi to everyone all night, the sense of community was really refreshing and relaxed. Now let me say that I'm not a beer guy, so I was afraid that I'd be stuck drinking Coca Colas all night, but the bartender directed me toward the Triple Jam cider and man, it hit the spot! So much so that I ended up having three of them! That may not be a lot for many people, but that represents the amount of cider/beer I drink in a year. As for the food, I got the Jalapeño Crunch burger. I ordered it with no jalapeños because they are pickled (not my thing, I prefer fresh) and my burger cooked rare. It came out with no jalapeños, but well done (no pink at all!) I decided to be a sport and try it, and surprisingly it wasn't dry or like shoe leather, so I didn't raise a stink. In fact I ate the whole darned thing and enjoyed it. Was it the best burger in my life? No. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this place has a pretty limited kitchen and probably isn't using fresh beef either. But with the sauces and toppings I enjoyed it just the same. The fries were also good and I liked the skin on potatoes for that extra earthy flavor. I am excited to come back and watch more soccer and enjoy more beverages with some really great people I was able to meet.

Great place to grab a beer!! Our Beertender was very knowledgeable! Recommend some great brews!! The grapefruit IPA was delicious!! He really took care of us. The bar was nice and big, great place to watch a game. Don't forget the Swamp Fries!!

Chicken tenders were on point. Stand fare food options with an extensive beer list. Beers were good, white peach and pina colada ales were light and refreshing. Service was proficient and the location is a nice size that can accommodate large groups.

Excellent beer with a huge selection. The head brewer was there to talk about all the different types. Food came out quickly and was delicious. This was a great place to spend some time on our vacation.

This is my first visit to Bottlenose. I stopped in not realizing they were having a private event. The owner, Matt, welcomed me in anyway and talked beer with me for a bit. Though a pretty small batch type brewery, Matt has at least (20) of his brews on tap. Pretty amazing for a smaller brewery. I went out of order and started with a No Moon At Midnight which can be described as a coffee stout. I was pleasantly surprised! This is a stout i would keep in my fridge. Anyone that knows me knows that i am not into sours...however, Matt gave me a sample of a orange creamsicle sour....I cant believe i am saying this but i would keep it in my fridge!! Casual damage, a NEIPA has the perfect balance of fruit up front and bitter on the back. Hazy (as it should be) this is a solid New England!! There is nothing better than a small batch brewery with the passion Matt has. This is a hidden treasure and DEFINITLY worth stopping in.

I love this little brewery. Chill vibes, great brew and close to home - what more can I ask for? Awesome options for brews. They have all my favorites - sours, golden ales, stouts. Hubby loved the Belgian Tripel called "Very Sneaky, Sir" as well as the Irish red ale. We wanted a little appetizer so we decided to order the swamp fires. These were great! Fries were cooked well. Pulled pork was super tasty. The slaw was spicy and delicious. The beer cheese adds an extra creaminess and balance to the dish. The burgers looked amazing.. next time I want to try one!

I had a pleasant experience at Bottlenose Brewing. Anthony was very friendly and accommodating! He greeted me the moment I sat at the bar and was very helpful. I explained to him that don't drink beer much and he seemed to read my mind. He brought me tiny sample of a beer that I really liked so that's what ordered. I can't remember the name but it had tangerine in it and it was very good. I also had the cheeseburger which was delicious. Definitely a great experience and I will return soon.

The staff he was great I get a few taster, a flint and a full beer. We only had a pretzel but that was very good. They have a bunch of beers so you will find something you like. My only complaint is that the maxing to fill the growler broken.

This place is always a good time. It's laid back and friendly. Great to stop in alone or with a group. Go for one of the trivia nights or to watch a game. Great selection on tap with a pub style menu. Some of the items have disappeared since COVID but it's still tasty.

Service... walked in, no one waited on us after seating ourselves. The plan was to have dinner, but since nobody bothered to take our order or even leave the bar to see what we wanted to drink, we left. Thanks for not caring. We had a delicious dinner at Culhane's nextdoor. We won't be going to Bottlenose Brewing again. They obviously didn't care enough to acknowledge our presence so I can only encourage people to go where they'll get delicious food and service at Culhanes!

We have been here a few times and they have a great selection of beer but the food needs help. I think the menu options are good for this type of establishment but the food was pretty "blah" and needs a lot more flavor.

This is a really small, clean, and friendly Brewery. They have a lot of selections from light to Hoppy to malty to belgian to sour. They also offer a few Taps from their sister Tap Room called Green Room. They are very friendly and will let you try multiple beers. I tried the Pina Colada golden ale, the Belgian tripel, and their sister beer fruit on the bottom mango. I also tried their pumpkin ale. Even though the fruit on the bottom mango sour is very popular, I did not like it so much. But that could be because I had it after I tasted the triple. My standouts are the Pina Colada golden ale and the Belgian tripel which comes in at a whopping 10.3%. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and the patio is covered which is great for trying to social distance. It's a great Vibe, very low-key and friendly for all ages. I will definitely be coming back!

Bottlenose is a sister brewery to Green Room brewery at the beach. There are tons of in house brewed beers that they offer and they also have Green Room brews on tap like Count Shakula (oatmeal stout). I enjoy the Oktoberfest beer - seasonal and their IPA's. There are so many to try that I haven't picked a favorite yet. Typically it is the bartenders who also prepare the food here. We've actually gotten free food here before because customers didn't want to wait long enough to stick around for it. Because of that I would not come here on an empty stomach. I've actually never ordered food before but hear it is good if you are willing to put up with the wait. I enjoyed the flatbreads that were gifted to us. There is a ladies night Wednesday- half off beer and wine There's also a run group on Thursdays at 6:30 and Trivia starts Thursdays at 7. They have many community board games that you can play and have tv's with some sports games on. It's a really nice chill place to have at the town center with lots of different craft brews to try.

Solid brewery with solid beer and food choices. I appreciate them having games available for all age ranges - even if I did have to explain some cards from "What Do You Meme" to my grade schoolers. We did get the Swamp Fries and they were what you would expect. We also got mozzarella sticks and a couple kids meals. I would go again and I would take some out of town guests here if they were looking to try some local brews. Give them a try!

Nice place! Our bartender was super sweet and we got passports to complete the Jax ale trail! We will be back :)

Housemate seltzers we're unlike seltzers I've tasted before. We had the mango and the strawberry fraught seltzers while we sat on their deck and played board games. Super fun, low-key date night :)

Bottlenose has been open for about two years. They have a large selection of beer, both their own and other local & national taps. I had a flight if their house brews: Driftwood Brown, Robust Porter, General Porpoise First Coast IPA, and Pina Colada Golden Ale. All drink smooth and easy. The Pina Colada was a surprise; I don't like "fruity" beers but it was a great hot weather refreshing brew. Bottlenose has a good menu as well of flatbread pizzas, appetizers, and sandwiches. We had the kielbasa & cheese pierogis and the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. The kielbasa was well cooked and very tasty. The burger was perfectly done. The BBQ sauce was tangy and came with cole slaw (not a fan of any slaw). Burger was cooked at medium perfectly, juicy and tasty with thick cut bacon. Fries were slightly seasoned and crispy while still soft inside. Wednesdays are Ladies Nights, 1/2 off house drafts and house wine 7pm-10pm. If you're at Tinseltown to see a movie, this is a great dinner/beer place to visit.

Its Saturday evening and this place is humming with energy. People laughing..Sound offs for the football games and people doing cheers to their friendships. With lots of seating offered almost all were taken, we were fortunate and located one of the last seats at the bar. It is Oktoberfest season so they we offering a special for a Oktoberfest mug for $10 filled and in Oct refills half priced so we took 3. With mugs in hand filled up with our beers and ciders we decided to order some items from their in house menu. I chose the swamp fries which offered pork.. bacon and beer cheese. They didn't last long. Mmmmmmm I love sitting at the bar when ever its available because great conversations happen with your neighbors and it makes the visit even better. It makes your visit a PaRtY.. yep I like this place..its a winner!

Great environment, but the food is just "ok" Beers are good and the location is convenient

First visit and will definitely be back. Matt and staff are down to earth and make you feel like family.

We went to Bottlenose specifically for the chicken...the hot chicken. On a Friday night, the crowd was casual and spirited, but modest in terms of the size. We looked at the menu briefly, went up to the bar to order, paid at the counter, and took a seat outside. We both got chicken but mine had the hot sauce on the side. It was served with corn cakes and pickles. For $8, the portion size was decent. The four chicken strips were fried to a nice brown and they were crispy. There was a hint of a burnt flavor to them that was a little off putting but not enough so that I couldn't eat them. The corn cakes were a great idea to absorb the sauce and grease from the chicken. These were surprisingly tasty. Our soft pretzel sticks were really good warm with the beer cheese and mustard. If you're looking for a nice spot for a few bites and drinks, this place may do the trick. Just don't expect much in terms of ambiance or service.

This is my go to place after closing the 11PM breweries in town on weekends. They have a great beer selection of about a dozen of their own beers and about a dozen guest taps, which are mostly Florida beers. They have bottles from other states as well. And they serve food almost til closing time (2AM)!! There's no wait staff, you have to order food from the bar and they will bring the food to your table. They also do flights, so you can try anything on their tap list. They are fairly quick with their food service, prices are reasonable and the food is great. I'm a big fan of their fries :)

I really enjoyed the happy hour experience here. Monday thru Friday 3-7pm, it's $1 off drafts and wine. Very casual and laid back with a large selection of taps and well done bar food. The hot chicken bites - as well as all their food - are made from scratch and this was evident since none of the chicken chunks came in "processed" sizes or shapes. I REALLY liked these a lot and would come back just for a couple of batches of these with some beers. We also had some pretzel sticks and onion rings which were all done very well. They do offer burgers, dogs, and other sandwiches which I will definitely have to try on future visits. If you're looking for a spot to grab some food before or after a movie and enjoy some beers, look no further than Bottlenose. They offer a decent sized bar dining area as well as outside patio seating.

This was my first time at Bottlenose and it was a pleasant experience. Some friends and I decided to try something new for a Saturday hangout. What drew us to this place was that they had TVs (wanted to watch the World Cup) and a good menu and most importantly... beer! The inside area was very spacious with lots of high top tables, a few booths and several mounted TVs. The outside patio was a cool area where they had a few games like Jenga and ping pong and on the plus side it was covered... which is good because it poured while we were there. Since it was our first time, my friend and I decided to go with flights so we could get a taste for some of their home brews. I actually enjoyed all of them except the Tangerine golden ale, it did not taste like tangerine at all to me. I was pretty impressed that they had 12 house beers they brew themselves with being fairly new. One complaint I do have is our little flight glasses weren't chilled so the beer was not cold for long and got warm very fast... and unless you're in Europe no one likes warm beer. We decided to get a few apps to try and share. One thing to note, you have to go up to the bar to order all beer and food. There are no servers. We ordered the hot chicken bites (mild) with a side of hot, soft pretzels with mustard and beer cheese and the beer cheese fries. I must say, they have the BEST beer cheese ever!! Omg it was sooooo good! I love trying beer cheese at places that have it and this is one of my new favorites! The hot chicken bites were good, not your average wing sauce. It seemed more of an oil base almost but still had good flavor. This is definitely a place worth checking out if you have a group or want to watch sports. Everything was very decently priced, most apps around $5-$7! We were there during the day so I cannot speak for how it is a night but overall I enjoyed it.

I usually go on Tuesdays for Trivia night. Great atmosphere every time. I also think it's awesome that they have an outdoor area that's pet friendly! I don't usually drink beer but I'd definitely come here to socialize and enjoy their food. I've had their appetizers and they serve huge portions of the swamp fries and loaded fries. They are very satisfying. Those swamp fries are no joke! Generous portions of BACON, pork butt bbq. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Did I mention bacon? Yum. Their fried pickles are pretty good too. Best part about this place is that it is always lively. I really wish they would expand trivia to include other themes besides pop culture. Not that they need it to draw in a crowd. It would just be a nice change!

Great location near Tinseltown Theatre and nice large patio area and open air restaurant. Happy hour and a large assortment of beer, with a nice menu of sandwiches, apps and hamburgers. On my first visit, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. It took about 30 minutes for our food to come out which meant we had to rush through our meal in order to make it to our movie. It appeared that the manager was aware of the kitchen being slow and was walking around apologizing for the wait. The chicken was cooked well and was not tough and was juicy, but lacked any real flavor, so it could use some seasoning or marinating during the cooking process. The onion rings had a good flavor. The pretzel appetizer is served with beer cheese sauce, and mustard, but they were nothing special as far as flavor. Trivia night, and many specials, so it seems like a good place for entertaining. Hopefully on our next trip the kitchen will be a little more on the ball.

Stopped in for happy hour after a long day at work. They offer $1 off any of their in-house taps (not guest) beers, which pretty much all run $4 on happy hour. Overall, they feature about 50 different beers on draft and more on bottles. Varieties range from sours, to IPAs to lagers and stouts, everything has at least a couple variations. You can also order a $1.50 (usually) taster pour of any draft beer, so you can create your own flight of as many or as few as you like. My personal favorite was the in-house sour, light, refreshing, bright, and of course, sour. The bartender was informed of the beer variety and was willing to offer opinions on what to try. The environment is very laid back, with ceiling fans whirring about the very open air tasting room. T-shirt and shorts would be as welcome as an after work business suit.

Bottlenose is my favorite brewery in town! They have a good happy hour deal after work and the atmosphere is great. Thursday is busy with trivia at 7:00. All other days it is calm and not overly crowded. The staff are great and very attentive. 10/10 would recommend Bottlenose Brewing

Jumping into the Jacksonville craft beer scene has been fun. I can really say I've only dabbled since there are tons of breweries and so little time. I just heard the words local a lot, and found out that Intuition, Green Room and Bold City were just the tip of the iceberg. I'd later learn about Wicked Barley, Veterans United, Aardwolf. My friend Austin told me about a place that was right next to the Mellow Mushroom by my house with a great selection of brews: Bottlenose Brewing. The location is convenient - walking distance to the theater, if you wanna see a movie, nezt to Mellow, if you want some pizza, or easy to pair with sush if you had to Bento first. Yes, I said sush. Also, this isn't a downtown park headache or busy with the madness of Towncenter. You'll find a spot, easy peasy. Not Exactly a Brewhouse Strictly speaking, this isn't a brewery, it's a brewhouse. They serve local brews, but don't brew their own beer yet. The Bottlenose website says that the brewing equipment is on its way. One thing that sold me on the idea of this place, aside from the convenient Southside location, was that I heard they had some decently priced late night bites that were pretty tasty. (Thanks, Megan). I actually have yet to explore the food menu, but soon! Try ALL THE BEERS! There's enough flavors in the beer to be the equivalent of smorgasbord meal. Almost every time I've visited Bottlenose (maybe 4 or 5 times), the crowd is thin. Whether it be a Tuesday or Friday. But I like this. It's comfortable, not too noisy and an inviting venue. There's a nice long tap list, a few wines and no liquor. In the corner, you can find a stack of board games and also giant jenga. The bartenders are friendly, helpful, and never give you that, "oh I'm too busy to let you sample a sour or a wheat beer tonite." Sure they might wonder why I want to try a lager and a chocolate stout before committing, but they don't seem to mind. The place also has space for live music, which spices up the atmosphere and can bring a little life to your weekend. The brew list features some MIA beers, which is fun to see as I got to visit that brewery this April. Worth the Drive? We've dragged our Riverside friends out, and I think they noticed that it didn't have the hustle and bustle and luster of a beach bar or Birdies. But the Arlington folk and beer fans have a different opinion - it's worth the drive and then some. It's an excellent post-long-day-of-work, catch-up-with-a-friend spot. Tommy might shake his locks and mention the beach. Chris might give a shout out to Green Room. Joey might want to join your sing-along sesh if the live music starts to get close to karaoke level. Because Nice Bartenders Also, with all the beer opinions and education, ok snobbery, that exist out there, some bartenders become all too practiced in asking, ok what kinda beer do you like. They ask with a sneer waiting to hear some response about what's the lightest, sweetest, darkest, ok, fine try this bitter IPA answer. At Bottlenose, everyone is accommodating. Joey even poured new drafts when Mandy and I had concerns about the kegs and carbonation of her beer. The place does have a ladies night with a steal of $1 wine or something unheard of. The deal does have a deadline though, so don't even try to sneak in a 3rd glass at 9:03.

A friend and I killed some time here one afternoon when I was visiting Jacksonville, and really enjoyed it! They have a good variety on both the beer and food menus. For beer, I tried an IPA and a fruit ale, and enjoyed both. My friend loves Gose beers and was excited they had one as a guest tap. We got some snacks as a bread layer so as to not be drunk on a Saturday afternoon, and can vouch for both the pretzels (which come with an awesome cheese sauce) and the onion rings. If I lived in the neighborhood I could see myself being a regular.

Great little pit stop here before dinner. Our server was knowledgeable and super attentive. She even put a cup in the freezer to make it colder for me. We tried several my favorite was the island IPA and hubs was the tangerine IPA. Great kombucha too we tried the apricot one. Definitely a good spot worthwhile checking out!

I am so happy to have a good brewery near where I live! I love that Bottlenose has so many selections on tap with a very wide range of their own brews, a few guest brews, and some more common IPAs. They have a large indoor and outdoor area, and have games readily available for you to place with your friends. When I went, we got a nice corner high top and played scategories all night long! Of course we got some snacks as well. We tried the swamp fries, pierogi and kielbasa, and the pretzel sticks. My favorite was the swamp fries. This was a cheesy, meaty pile of delicious. Drenched in beer cheese and loaded with pork on pork on pork, it was the perfect compliment to some great beer!!! Note: there is no table service and you have to order all your food and drinks at the bar.

Overall pretty good! Only would say pretty good bc I prefer a larger selection of ciders! The pretzels weren't bad either! Cheese was a little weird, but the chicken nugget bites were delicious! The Thai Chile and ranch was oddly delicious lol

A few gals and I stumbled upon BB, which is the old World of Beer location. It's definitely nice to have a brewery in this area, especially by the movie theater. Their food menu has plenty of options from salted pretzels, pierogis, and sandwiches. We each had a flight so we got to taste 12 of the BB beers. My personal favorite were the IPA, Double IPA, and Lazy Days. The IPAS both have wonderful hoppy flavor with an extra kick in the Double. Lazy Days is a perfect beer for a hot summer day. I also enjoyed the oatmeal stout, however it is so heavy that this taste was plenty for my palate. I could handle a full glass of that. Overall, I liked the beers and would be interested in trying the other brewers that distribute to Bottlenose. PLUS, their flight price is extremely reasonable at $5 for any beers brewed by Bottlenose. That's a killer deal!!

Im not a drinker so I cannot comment on the beer but I will say it is a large selection. We did partake in some apps and burgers though. The fried pickles were a nice thick cut and well-breaded (not too thin a batter but not too heavy either). We devoured the Swap Fries so fast it would make your head spin. They were truly addicting! The fries were nice a crispy with a tasty seasoning with a hint of spice. Then they were topped with roasted pork, spicy slaw, bbq sauce, bacon and beer cheese. Since these fries were so good I decided to take it a step further and get the Swamp Burger. The burger had all the goodies from the fries. The burger was cooked to my liking a medium rare but the bun was just a tad too thin to hold all that burger goodness in. I didnt let a thin bun stop me from enjoying every bite. And one final note their kitchen is lightening fast. It wasnt pack but man either way they got that food out to you asap.

As a local, we like the beer and burgers at Bottlenose Brewing. They brew their own tasty beer and you can even buy a jug to take home which makes us very happy. The burgers are smaller that what seems to be the norm these days, but quite frankly, I think the size is perfect. (You hate to overeat when you're out trying to drink a bunch of beer.) The buns are potato rolls and they melt in your mouth. We had a strange day yesterday and we ended up eating/drinking here for lunch and dinner!

I am giving them the benefit of the 3.5 stars I would like to give them. The place is still pretty new. The staff is ok, not particularly friendly. You have to order at the bar it seems and then they bring out your food. Table service would be nice. They have a couple games like Jenga laying around, so that is a nice touch. There are a bunch of TVs in the place over the bar with various movies and shows on. The atmosphere is ok, not great, not terrible. The menu is pretty small. If you don't eat breaded chicken you are in for a burger. If you don't do gluten, well you are going to get a caesar salad. That is what I got. It was pretty good, served in a paper boat on a small pizza tin. I also saw the beer cheese and pretzel, which looked nice. The burgers look pretty decent. The selection of fried foods is decent. There is a good selection of micro brewed beers including some of their own and a pretty big selection of other local and florida brews. I tasted the home brewed pina colada beer. A bit sweet for my taste but it was good. I was disappointed to learn if you don't like beer you are pretty well stuck with soda or tea. A lot of places are now carrying hard water on tap or at least in a can, that might be a good option for this location. So while the visit was pleasant enough, it just was not special in any way and was just adequate. With the hundreds of choices within a 5 mile radius I will probably not come back. You should try it out yourself though and make your own call.

Stopped by on a Saturday night around 8:30 with two girlfriends to check out this "new" brewery in Tinseltown area. We were surprised to hear Bottlenose Brewing has been open since April 2017!! Where have we been??? Bottlenose was not busy and has a huge beer selection. We walked right up to the bar and sat down. We didn't partake in any of the food menu items, but each enjoyed a flight of 4 local Bottlenose beers for $5! Service was ok. We were surrounded by tons of big screen TVs. I definitely want to come back for a football game and maybe happy hour.

When we walked in, I scanned their humongous beer menu and knew that I was going to love this place after I saw that they had at-least 5 different ipa beers and a seasonal pumpkin ale on tap, plus a menu that screamed "I've got a buzz need yummy food". Their menu includes a slew of burgers, sandwiches, fried apps, and a whole lotta choices for loaded fries. I had the pumpkin ale and the hubs the ipa, and both of them were fantastic. We also had the American burger and the loaded baked potato fries and they too were amazing. Our food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The bar itself is laid back, clean, and stocked with plenty of games to play. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3-7 pm. If you have never been here, you are missing out!

Absolutely love this place and the indoor/outdoor theme. It's so nice you wouldn't even think you're in Jacksonville. Absolutely love it, and love the 50+ beers they have on tap! 6/14 update: I still absolutely love this place, BUT, they really need to add more staff. Tonight during happy hour there was only one bartender and one barback, and no-one was working the tables. The bar is completely full and there are 7 tables here in addition. Unfortunately, I've been here for an hour and a half and have had only one beer. 7/6: Cass was the bomb and is amazingly knowledgeable about her beers!

The last time I was here my wife and had great time, food was great and of course the beer was amazing. Unfortunately this time the food was definitely not. The beer, still amazing which is great for a brewery. If this review was for beer alone it would be five stars. Due to limited kitchen staff they had an equally limited menu, so only flatbreads, which is totally understandable. But the flatbreads were not good. Super chewy, sauce so fresh you could taste the can, and only enough kielbasa that, when combined from the whole flat bread, was barely enough for one piece. My son got the pizza flatbread which was the exact same thing except it had pepperoni. He's four and said it tasted like a lunchable, so he loved it. Only gave it three stars because I know when they had the staff the food was great, and you simply can't knock the beer

Came here around 5:30pm on a Friday night and this place just wasn't for us. The place has a really nice indoor/outdoor bar area, is seat yourself, order at the counter, and has a pretty good tap list. The problem was when we got there, there were only two people working the entire bar and the place was already pretty busy. We had to wait a bit to order food and drinks. We got the Fried Pickles, my wife got the Hot Chicken Bites, and I got the Swamp Burger. Food came out timely, but just wasn't good. The burger itself was okay, but the pork butt on it was meh, the Fried Pickles were bland, and the Hot Chicken Bites were terrible. The dry rub was caked on, had no spice at all, and had a similar texture to the Cinnamon Challenge. Again, when I went to pay our tab, I had quite the wait. To top it all off, the bill I got only had the total due and did not break down what we actually purchased. I had to think through each item we bought and add them up real quick to make sure it was right. Had I had a few beers, this would have been problematic. Overall, would not recommend and will not be back. If you do decide to go, go for the beer and skip the food.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Swamp fries were great! Pulled pork sandwich was good also! Fried pickles were good although they had a little too much seasoning for my liking. Will definitely eat here again!
