Are you actually going to the game?

IF you are just going to the surrounding area The Landing is one of the best places to watch it

Wackos and Best Bet have always been my two must-sees.

It was busy 2-3 days a year, you were there for one of them.. owners kept the rent too high for any retailers to last and the city was not willing to keep dumping money into it.

There’s a Longhorn and a Red Lobster on Atlantic Blvd. You’d love those.

No one cares dude. It was already discussed before your unwanted and unnecessary comment.

You rub me the wrong way all the time. Which is the only reason I responded to you. You come off as a smug bitch

We went a few years ago. We staid near Jax Beach Thursday night and went to Jax beach on Friday. There were a lot of cool places to eat there and it was nice. We staid on Amelia Island Fri/Sat and went down to downtown Jax on Saturday and parked at the convention center. We couldn't find any real entertainment/bar district downtown and just tailgated at our car. I'm sure there are some cool places in the greater Jax area but couldn't find anything downtown. There are a lot of good places to eat on Amelia island.

We’ve stayed in Amelia for 20+.

Decided we will go back next two years and just vaca and skip Benz and Tampa.

Walking to the stadium I always enjoyed the smell coming from the Maxwell House roasting plant.

It was a ghetto shithole.

IMO, the best bar in Jax to watch a game is Hoptinger in Five Points. Plenty of TVs, pretty good food, and a great beer selection. It's also relatively close to the stadium.

If you're going to Jax Beach, Sneakers is hands down the best sports bar. There is not a close second.

Jacksonville has the most bandwagon bums. The team that you're for is the team that they're for. Some of them know the cheers and will bark for a dollar and everything. Amazing.
