Legacy Ale Works

My second visit. The first time was much better. This visit was disappointing especially with the staff. Not friendly or engaging at all. My husband had to wait and wait for someone to take his order even though the staff was just standing there. The burgers were very good. But I liked the sliders better.

My fiancé and I hosted our engagement party and it could not have gone any better. From the feel being cozy and exactly how we envisioned it (rustic, nature-y, dim ambiance) to the food being fresh and delicious: my fiancé and myself along with our guests were so happy and impressed. He is also a N/A drinker so having great options for him and other guests that don't drink or were dry this month was such a plus. We can't wait to book the room again in the future! Thank you so much Liz and Legacy's crew!

I had 2 flights & Beer Mac & Cheese ($33 before taxes & tip), amazing collection of beers. Disorder was delicious Hazy beer, also Caspers Pale Ale with Chili. I'm definitely going back to try the darker beers, I was at the bar so the service was good but I saw a huge line in the rush hour but a older gentleman helped out the beer tender, so expect some waiting for your next beer if you have a table. Staff is very friendly and the room behind has a couch seems very cozy.

Really enjoyed the Friday night Shop and Sip/Makers Market this past week. They were busy but spread out over the beautiful courtyard with live music playing and vendors selling unique goods. Got the homemade peanut butter with jelly that I can’t stop eating off of and of course my new favorite seasonings from Summa Salts (also a locally owned and operated salt artist). Can definitely recommend the Yoga pants & Mini Van brew… so so tasty! Will be back and will add mire photos!

Great beer Great cider! Great food! Try the pretzel and beer cheese! They make the beer cheese in house with their own beer!! The charcuterie board is now my gotta have it every time, it comes with the aforementioned giant pretzel, beer cheese, mustard, and a selection of grapes, nuts, sliced meats, and cheeses! So good! And just as importantly the owners make you feel like friends and family!

We stopped in to try this brewery. A friendly barmaid was working and answered all our questions as the selection was impressive, and we ordered a couple of flights. All the beers were good or very good. One was exceptional, the Czech Pilsner. We then ordered a few more and enjoyed our visit, because we liked the beers and our barmaid made us feel so welcome there.

Fantastic!!! Every beer I tried was on point. Best wings in Jacksonville, especially the Garlic Smoke. 🤯. Then the bartender was so pleasing. Definitely coming back!

Went here for the first time last night, 8/16/25. It was extrememly loud in the back room. We had to bus our own table for a place to sit. I understand its Friday, get more staff if you cannot keep up. In addition, I ordered a patty melt. I waited atleast 30 min, everyone at our table had their food and was half finished when I went to ask about it. I was told the grill was full and it would be 10 minutes. I received the patty melt 5 minutes later, flavorless, barely warm, cold mushrooms and onions with undercooked and luke warm tatertots. It's a bar, but some of the worst service and food I have had.

Legacy has quickly become one of my go-to spots in Jax, mostly because I'm a sucker for a good trivia night. Think "Cheers" but with fewer wood-paneled walls and way better beer! Everybody really does know your name after a few visits (and they'll also know your team name if you win trivia often enough). The staff is consistently awesome. Genuinely friendly, not the forced "I'm smiling because my boss told me to" kind of nice. They look like they enjoy being there as much as we do, which makes the vibe easy and welcoming. Food-wise, you're not getting Michelin stars (and honestly, who wants a foamed-duck-reduction during trivia anyway?). It's solid, well-done bar fare, exactly what you want alongside a flight of beers. Speaking of... I haven't had a bad one yet. My current crush is Summer in France, though I've dabbled in plenty of their others (and even their non-beer drinks hold their own). Bonus points for theme nights, which keep things fresh and fun. Legacy is the kind of place you can wander into on a random Tuesday and leave feeling like you spent the night with friends. Definitely one of those spots I'll keep coming back to; partly for the beer, partly for trivia glory!

We came here for lunch time, the food was good. The flatbread was a little overcooked. The pumpkin beer was fantastic and the beer pairings for the food tray was also excellent! Much better when eaten together, amazing! I would recommend this place.

I love Legacy Ale Works! We come a few times a month for the events or to watch sports. They have such a great selection of beer and the staff are friendly and always happy to help you make a selection. The food is good with the pretzel and burgers being my favorite! I highly recommend checking out Legacy's social media and going to the next event they have as it is never a dull moment at their events!

Legacy Ale Works was such a cool spot! Hubby and I stopped in on a Friday evening before our nearby dinner plans. After seeing the menu, we almost changed our plans. So many delicious looking items! I ordered a flight and hubby had a couple Ambers. My favorites were the brown ale and the guava sour. The outdoor courtyard area was shaded and perfect for a breezy evening. Legit swag, awesome beers, tasty looking menu, friendly bartenders! Definitely worth giving them a try! We will be back soon.

I stumbled into this place while waiting for my daughter's dance class to end and now, instead of dreading the wait, I've got a great place to relax and enjoy some great brews. Tried the Downtown Eric's Brown and met some of the locals. Had a great chat with random folks on the couch...played some cards...it's a great spot! Servers were friendly and swift. Seems like the kind of local hangout that brings back regulars looking for a place to socialize and relax.

Nice spot to hang out, lots oh tvs games and seating. Service is at the bar but jr was really easy and quick. Pretty solid food selection at good prices. Definitely a nice hang out location

We don't get this way often but love to stop in when in the area. Folks are nice and welcoming. Good brews and tastey bbq tacos. The mac n cheese could use a bit of flavoring but likely geared toward the kiddos

This place is such a wonderful gem in the community!! The staff is incredibly kind and personable. The beer is constantly on rotation with new homebrews having their debuts. And the food is awesome. They have a smoker and with my full confidence, they have the best wings in Jax hands down. Love that the staff is constantly trying new things to shake up the menu and beer list! They also have introduced wine and slushies to the menu which diversified the brewery for friends who might not be big beer fans! The outdoor space and games make this place super family friendly. Can't say enough about how much I love this spot!

We visited on Monday, the drinks were great. Our daughter loved the food and popsicle that we ordered. They had games and an outside area. Super happy with space to let my toddler run around without disturbing people. Great spot!

My husband and I stopped here because we love breweries and we were up that way from St. Augustine. It's a great place, very family friendly. The bar tenders were so friendly and attentive. I do not typically like craft beer, but my husband does so we are always looking for local breweries. I found a number of drinks that I really enjoyed! We also ordered the pretzel and Buffalo flatbread. Both were really good! The only reason for the 4 stars is the price. I am all about paying for high quality, but the drink prices were higher than most breweries. Aside from that we really enjoyed our time there.

Easy spot to bring the kids and sit in the courtyard for dinner and to listen to some music. The beer was great and service was extremely helpful. We liked the process of ordering at the front then waiting for your food vs having a server. The menu had many kid friendly options to choose from.

Great fathers day gathering. Was under staffed but team tried hard. Kicked the red ale keg, but it happens, smashburger was good.

Nice brewery with a good selection of beers. Very airy and nice inside. The bartender was really nice and helpful when deciding on what beer to drink. I can't comment on the food as we did not eat here. But if you're looking for a good spot with a nice selection of beers, definitely hit this brewery up.

Had a great holiday TapRoom TakeOver for my group. We hired an awesome 3-piece band from St Augustine. Taproom was tastefully decorated for the season. The service provided was excellent! The cider and beer plentiful along with wine! Will definitely be back again. Food was brought in from local Mexican joint nearby. Setup was good.

Really nice beer selection. Surprised by the French Country Ale; very rips and refreshing. Good that they've added food. Overall a really nice spot to have some fresh brews.

Great selection of beers on tap. Service was great and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about their products and their flavors profiles. The pretzel was really good too. Was our first time there but we will definitely be back.

We found a great beer place .. and food is awesome!! Amazing selection of beers (they are celebrating Oktoberfest now so have a nice selection of seasonal beer.) Cynthia, the bartender, was really helpful and well informed of the many beers on tap. Lots of tvs with sports on (with sound)Def worth the visit :)

We have been coming to Legacy Ale Works for awhile now so I'm surprised it took this this long to write a review. They are for sure our location brewery that we have been coming to and that's because they are making some amazing beers and always have so many options as well as a number of next options too. My normal go to is the Trippy Devil which is as Belgium Triple. It for sure worth trying, a lot of flavor without the heaviness of an IPA. This time though they had a new Scotch Ale called the Wee Shankly and it was great. Probably one of if not the best Scotch Ale's I have had. Now this was a new beer so I'm not sure if it's for a limited time or will be on the menu permanently but just incase you should come to Legacy and get one. I also tried some food for the first time at Legacy as well and was very impressed. We head already eaten dinner but needed something to snack on with our beers so we of course went with the Pretzel and Beer Cheese. The Pretzel was cooked perfectly. Soft and fluff with each bite and not at all over cooked which seems to happen too much with other large pretzels. The Beer Cheese also had a lot of flavor. We will for sure continue to come to Legacy Ale Works for beers but next time we might come for dinner too because after looking over their food menu more there is a lot to try.

TLDR Overall Scores: Beer: 8.1/10 Venue: 8.4/10 Worth a visit? Absolutely, but can get busy and loud during peak times. Check hours before making a lunch trip, as they open at 3PM most weekdays. My number of visits: 10+ (2023-2024) The Beer: You're going to find a style that you enjoy on tap. 20+ taps with IPAs, seasonals, Belgians, pub ales, lagers, sours, etc. Take advantage of their beer flights in order to get an idea of their distinctive style and flavors. I've been here several times, and I've never had a bad beer. The staple is probably Hibbidy Dibbity (hazy IPA), and you can usually find it on tap. Do yourself a favor and look over the beer list carefully before ordering, though...as you may find some real gems hiding there. Don't be afraid to take a chance. For example, I get burned out on Scottish Ales easily, and I never want a full pint of a Wee Heavy. I took a chance on theirs, and I was blown away. The Venue: It's a little tucked away in the corner of a shopping center just off of Route 1, but it's worth the trip. Parking shouldn't be an issue, but the lot is oddly designed, and every time I go there someone steps out from between some parked cars or blows through an unexpected stop. It's Florida, so keep your head on a swivel. That being said, over the last 18 months that I've been going here, the location has undergone significant improvements. They are constantly upgrading and improving, and you can tell that management/owners really want to create a welcoming space. I think that is where Legacy really shines - the owner/brewer (veteran owned and operated, btw) and manager are both clearly customer-focused, knowledgeable, and friendly. The other detail of note is that they are heavily event-focused. There is always something going on, which may throw you off if you're looking for a quiet spot for dinner and a pint. One corner is going to be the 'loud locals', plus they're really family friendly, and so you may be entertained by a screaming toddler streaking through the room. Then there is the event space, which may have an open mic night. It can be sensory overload. Family friendly? Yes, absolutely. Pet friendly? Yes, absolutely. Open courtyard with lots of tables. Cans / Crowlers? No cans, but you can take home crowlers of your favorites. Brewery on site? Yes, and the brewer is engaged and friendly. The freshest beer only has to travel a few feet. Some nice merch available, too. Food availability? Burgers, flatbreads, etc. Vegetarian options. Quality is good and not overcomplicated. Reservations? No, but they do private events with a nice connected event space. Events: They do a ton of creative and fun events, with something going on pretty much every week. Check it out on their website. Me (why my reviews are possibly relevant): 20+ years beer experience in brewing, beer judging (BJCP), brewing instruction, and bar / restaurant service.

Came here on drag night, place was packed. This review is about the location, not the event. Ordered 2 drinks as soon as I arrived because I knew it would be difficult to reorder. I wanted to get a flight of 4 beers, but the only menu was on a pedestal that everyone in the queue had to try & look at and order- not the best system. Also the beers available that day were not the beers i had seen online earlier that day. Beers were ok, neither wowed me. Seats were pretty uncomfortable. Also atm they don't have food. Lastly there is a kids area that reminds me of a pediatrician office.

Legacy ale Works has really stepped it up since they first opened! I haven't been since we went to their grand opening party. Their beer is much better to me! Yesterday I had the banana wheat beer, the Belgian ale, and one of the sours with lactose. All three of them were equally amazing! They definitely have stepped up their brewing game in Jacksonville!! They have a little kid friendly area which is a great idea for family time. We loved our time at Legacy ale Works! Emily was our bartender and she was fantastic! She ran that bar solo and did an amazing job!!

Great place with an abundance of beers to choose from. Place has a great ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and always great at recommending a beer to your likings. Allows small samples to try first. Tv and music with games to play. Definitely a cool place to chill, enjoy a beer and atmosphere.

Awwww I love Legacy! It's become like my little secret spot for a chill night out! Sooooo grateful they are super kid friendly, me and a friend love to come up with our kiddos, grab a few drinks you can order food from all the businesses around it and they will bring you food out to you! Sit out on the patio and let the kids play, it's great! They also have lots of events, I have been to their last 2 Dining in the Dark events where they bring in a chef and she makes a menu and they pair a beer with each course! Awesome!!

This place keeps getting better and better. Their beer is always been top-notch and they've added/brought back some of their best beers. You have Belgian triples, lagers IPAs, ciders, they also have a selection of wine and nonalcoholic drinks for those who do not want beer, pretty much everything . The atmosphere is awesome. They have a nice sized event room if you wanna rent it out for private parties or work events. The thing that has grown and gotten better and better with each time we get there is their food. They have burgers, flatbreads, giant pretzels, pretty much something for everyone, I could go on and on. My wife and I love it every single time we go, which is at least pretty much at least once a week lol. The staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. They make you feel like family there. It's very family friendly, they have lots of games to keep the kiddos entertained or adults entertained. We would highly recommend it .

I LOVED Legacy Ale Works! There was ample seating and I liked the ability to pick my own table. There was a decent selection of beer and wine. I tried a cider, beer, and red wine. All were unique and delicious. I have a dairy allergy and the staff made sure to accommodate with vegan cheese and even double checked to make sure I didn't have any other allergies. This establishment was not packed for a Saturday and I loved every second of my time here. I will be back!

I have seen Legacy Ale Works from the posts of my fellow Yelpers, but it's only recently that we visited the place. Well, well , well, did not realize this was such a fun place to hang out! It's not just for adults, it's actually for an entire family! Came here on a Sunday and it was packed! Apparently, European football is playing and fans of Liverpool were in full support! Lol it was very entertaining watching them react to every goal. They also had a bingo game for kids, and a cute little girly actually hosted it. We ordered the flight, basically 2 IPA's, a brown ale and 1 cider. I would definitely go back for the New Disorder IPA, it was that good! For food, their kitchen is still closed but they have the menu of Casa Maria, which is their restaurant neighbor. We ordered our food and drinks at the bar and they will take care of everything! Overall, great place to relax, watch football on their tv screens, play games or just plain drink beer!

I have previous experience with Legacy Ale Works from a different perspective! I ran an event there years ago and that is my favorite thing about them- the have great space! Inside and outside. The courtyard is great for fun outdoor events. They have a great relationship with Casa Maria for food delivered right to the brewery- the staff calls in the order for you and everything. I even had a cider- lol, this is funny because I don't like beer. All brewery stops are for my other half. In this case we were going back to several breweries to finish up the Ale Trail Passport and get our stamps. The young lady working the bar was great! We chatted tons about her upcoming vacation and gave her tips for Boston and maybe a side trip to Salem ;) #chattyCrystal Cheers!

Great ambient! Nice staff! Good beer! And kids are welcome!!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hosted an appreciation night out for our Volunteers at Legacy Ale Works and it was a huge success. The entire process was smooth and the owner was wonderful to work with. They helped us to decide what space rental option was best for our group, and made recommendations on food options. We were encouraged to come in and view the space and they made sure the rooms would be set up to meet our needs, as many of our guests are wheelchair users. The staff were all very friendly and engaging. Lets not forget the beer, everyone enjoyed the variety of options and the fact that they had non-alcoholic options for our underage guests'. I felt fully supported through the entire planning and execution of our event, and would definitely use them again.

Legacy Ale Works is a great place to hang out, even if you're not into beer! There's a quieter room with comfortable couches and a fireplace which is a great place to catch up with friends. The food is great for a brewery... the beer cheese is amazing! I'm not into beer, but I did find my new favorite pineapple hard seltzer here! Great service for food and drink and I will definitely be back.

Really good beer but almost $20 for 32oz of canned beer is a bit excessive. Had I known beforehand, I wouldn't have ordered. You sure as heck can bet that we drank every lost drop of the two 32oz cans.

Awesome spot that hosts Liverpool games. Staff is very friendly and eager to help with recommendations. It's very clean and organized. And they have a great selection with lots of variety for beer enthusiasts

Went here to watch some World Cup football matches with some friends. I'm not a drinker but those in my party said the beer was good and they also have non alcoholic choices. It was nice to see a place for soccer fans came together to cheer on their team. Not bad.

A nice neighborhood craft beer brewery that has games for the kids too! Outside is a court yard that is shared by several establishments if you wanted to be outside. I understand about once a month they gave vendors selling their unique, crafted items too. Coming up soon they are having a popcorn pairing event with a beer; already signed up!

We finally had the opportunity to visit Legacy Ale Works and it exceeded my expectations! Legacy is located in the corner of a shopping center just off Phillips Highway/US1 near I95 in the Bayard area of southernmost Duval County, Jacksonville. There were tables and chairs in the courtyard outside. Even though the weather was mild we opted for indoors. The inside was roomy with several tables & chairs, around 8 chairs at the bar, a sofa and 3-4 two seat high top tables. Inside was clean, pleasant smelling, no smoke of course. The lavatory was clean. The bartender was nice and patient and answered all our questions. There is a good variety of their own brews and a few guest brews. All were tasty, some quite adventurous and unquestionably fresh. I recommend the flight of four that peak your interest and then a half pour/pour of your favorite. Food can be ordered from adjacent businesses. We opted for chips and guacamole from a neighboring Mexican restaurant and it was excellent. Parking is abundant and free, of course, in the large parking lot. Unlike some Jacksonville breweries that are in somewhat dangerous areas, Legacy is in a safe, business area. All in all a great visit and we'll return for sure!

Grand Opening Day. Legacy Ale Works is a new brewery located in the Bartram area of Jacksonville. Off of Old St Augustine in the same plaza as Roma's Italian & Pizza, Casa Maria & two doors down from Mizu Sushi Bar & Grill Legacy Ale Works had 5 of their own brews on tap, flight was $8 for four 5oz tasters. $6 for a pint. They also had 8-9 guest taps available. Beachweizen - (Hefeweizen) - smooth, good The Ex - (English Bitter) - good Kitchen Sink - (Pale Ale) - good Sweet Stout Without - (Stout) - good Red Run - (Red IPA) - their best one imo, reminds me of Pinglehead Imperial Red. Had one of their IPA, the one that replaced the english bitter, forgot to ask which (name) one it was. They're not forgettable by any means but not gonna blow your mind either. There's room for improvement. The bar area is kinda small but the staff was quite efficient greeting and serving guests. There are plenty of seats/tables/high tops inside and there's plenty of seating outside (front). They do have a spot that I've never seen in a brewery, a KIDS PLAY AREA. This place is nice! Clean and organized. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and plenty of windows so the place is bright in the daytime. Like most breweries, Legacy Ale Works doesn't sell food (they do sell potato chips) but there are quite a few restaurants very close by. Feel free to bring your own food and snacks with you.The ample space in the parking lot allows for easy parking. Overall, I'm excited to see what they have brewing for the future and looking forward to tasting them. Most of all, another local Jacksonville establishment and that's always cool :) 3.5 but rounding up for potential :p

This neighborhood brewery is a welcome addition in the Bartram area and bonus points for being kid and pet-friendly. There's tons of seating inside and outside along with an indoor play corner for smaller kiddos. The hubby kicked the keg last visit and got a free crowler with his brew of choice. How about that for a fun surprise?! Thanks, Legacy! If you're a novice to beer lingo (like me!), that just means getting the last of or emptying the keg. Along with beers, there's cider (my preference), beer slushy, and a sangria wine slushy available. I tried the beer one, it wasn't my fav but I'm sure the wine option was good - I'll tell when I try it next time! If you want to hang out longer and need a bite, there's now a cheese and charcuterie platter available. Yum! Otherwise, if you prefer to have grub delivered, there's tons of menus available at the register. My top pick would be Poke Works which is across the street. Sharing the same plaza as Legacy are Amaretti Desserts, Juice Tap, Casa Maria, The Pig, Mizu Sushi and an Italian place that just changed it's name. Pizza Hut and Whits are also just a hop skip away across Philips/US1. I'm sure you'll be seeing more check-ins from me (and more than likely my pup) at Legacy.

Pretty decent small brewery with a good selection of beers. I had the sour and brown beers which were very tasty. I also sampled the watermelon beer which was good with a hint of watermelon. We ordered the pretzel bites and spinach and artichoke dip for food. It was good, but a little expensive for what it was. Service was friendly and great! They took good care of us while we were there and made sure we were happy and taken care of the whole time. I would like to see Legacy build a kitchen and serve better food choices; and not charge so much for it. They have a lot of potential with high quality beers, but need to improve their food selection. Overall Legacy is a decent place to come to meet up with friends or neighbors for a few beers and conversation. Looking forward to going back and trying more beer selections.

BEST IPA IN JAX! Must get number 10! All the beers are great quality, lots of brown and red ales which is perfect for the season. The IPA is the real star though, it's unique from the other options and it's what a good IPA should taste like! Also the place is in a office complex but it's so cool! Inside is really cozy and has an electric fireplace and couches/comfy chairs! There's also games! We love this place!

Great beer - food was also decent. Happened to be there on a Sunday with Liverpool playing (not a fan but still fun)

Glad they're back open. We're so lucky to have this brewery here. It happens to have some of the best craft brew in jax. True artists. Great system for being safe too. Plenty of sanitizer stations. Required social distancing, but it's accomplished by spacing the tables so it's not in your face. Overall chill place to hang out with a good beer. Can't wait to try the new food also.

If it wasnt for the event they held..Oktoberfest I probably would not never have stopped by but as I located it in the plaza area I saw it was full of people enjoying theirselves and the beer varieties offered. The place has alot of seating in different areas and even a kids area. The servers were very busy this day but aimed to please everyone. They gave me assistance of beer choice but as I sat down I sipped and it was a bit sour for me. Saved by a experienced Elite Yelper and friend I was able to enjoy a pour more of my liking.The atmosphere here seems relaxed and good time oriented. Nice addition to this Bartram area.

This place is great. I'm enjoying my beers right now but wanted to register my 5-star homage. I'll be back with more, but let's just say it's highly recommended

One of my favorite places for beer,for the quality of beers, atmosphere, and service.

Great beer; great service and fun atmosphere! Live music and outdoor seating make it a fun date or family night! There's a good menu or several restaurant options are nearby.

Legacy ale works was my latest stop on the Jax ale trail. We visited yesterday and tried a few beers. I like that it was family friendly! They had tables set up for kids to do crafts while their adults watched games on the many tvs. The bartenders were knowledgeable and the hibbidy dibbidy was my favorite!

Went here alone - FaceTime drinking. Chill vibes and the beers were so good. Got my drinks right away and liked the music. 10/10 and I'll be back for sure

Love this place! It's a great atmosphere, clean and the owners are super nice! My favorite selection is the Mixed Berry Sour Ranger. It is located in a very convenient shopping center with several delicious restaurants near by to order from and bring in. Most of them will even deliver them to you! We have been loving their new addition of Thursday night BINGO. The caller, Jamie is hilarious and really adds to the great atmosphere. We are bummed they will be shut down for now, but encourage people to continue to support great businesses like this by getting growlers ToGo!

Great brews and inviting atmosphere. Good selection of strong ales, stouts, and IPAs. Love that they're constantly brewing new things but always have something for everyone and the fan favorites are always available
