Detailed itinerary

1

Ready to take your drink with a side of naval firepower? Welcome aboard the USS Orleck, a real-life warship turned museum docked right in Downtown Jax! This isn’t just a boat—it’s one of the most decorated destroyers in U.S. Navy history, with service in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War.

We won’t make you scrub the deck, but you will get a taste of military grit and grit-era stories that shaped the world. Snap a few photos on the deck, take in killer views of the riverfront, and toast to the sailors who braved it all.

Think of it as a bar stop with serious backbone—because nothing pairs better with a cold one than cold steel and real history.

(participation may vary depending on special events)

Time to trade the warship for a cold one! Welcome to Ruby Beach Brewing, a downtown Jax gem serving up small-batch craft beer with serious Florida flavor. Named after Jacksonville’s original beach (before it was called Jacksonville Beach), this spot is all about local pride, bold brews, and chill vibes.

From crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs and tropical sours, there’s something here for every tastebud—and yes, they rotate taps often, so there’s always something new to try. Sip inside the stylish taproom or kick back on the patio like a true Floridian.

It's the perfect spot to hydrate (with beer), make some new friends, and maybe play a round of corn hole before we hit the next stop.

Beer meets beach history—what more could you want?

3

Next up, we’re heading to the brewery that started it all—Bold City Brewery, a Jax original and proud pioneer of the city’s craft beer scene. Family-owned and boldly local, this is where Jacksonville's beer revolution took root.

They’re best known for crowd favorites like the Duke’s Cold Nose Brown Ale (named after the family dog—yes, really) and Mad Manatee IPA, but the tap list runs deep and delicious. Whether you're into smooth ambers, bold stouts, or seasonal surprises, this place delivers the goods.

The vibe? Unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character—just like the city itself. Raise a glass to local flavor, grab a few pics with their iconic logo, and enjoy a drink where Jax’s craft beer culture was born.

It’s bold. It’s local. It’s Jax through and through.

4

Ready to take this crawl to new heights? Welcome to Sips on the Roof, the rooftop oasis perched above Decca Live in the heart of Downtown Jax. This isn’t just a bar—it’s a whole vibe.

Here, you’ll sip craft cocktails and curated wines with panoramic skyline views that scream “Instagram this!” Whether the DJ is spinning or the city lights are glowing, Sips brings the perfect mix of energy and elegance.

Need a break from beer? This is your spot to try something a little fancy—maybe a handcrafted mojito, a rooftop mule, or one of their signature cocktails designed to match the mood. Dress it up or keep it chill—either way, the rooftop air just hits different.

Good drinks. Great views. Elevated everything.
