Tackle Box Tavern — Restaurant in Atlantic Beach

So there I was walking into the tacklebox. I had on my camo budweiser hat with a pbr in one hand and a marlboro red in the other. I immediately get the "hell yea brother" nod from earl and bubba sitting at the corner of the bar. We're about to get wild in this joint. It's about to be an all out honky tonk ! I walk over to the Jukebox to get the night started right - a little bit of Snoop so I can drop it like it's hot. Wait....what's This ? No snoop? I turn around and see the confusion in Bubbas eyes. What's this God fearing American doing comin in our bar with the hope of playing hip hop? I turn back to the juke box. Surely they have the wobble. Who in their right mind would get rid of the wobble in a bar , right ? Well I'll tell you who.....Janice at the tacklebox. Over the next 5 years or so when Bubba kicks the dirt and Earl is on probation and can't leave the trailer park, the tacklebox is gonna be stuck with my generation that like to listen to skynyrd one minute and then chase it with a shot of migos. So just a suggestion here - if y'all want to keep the tacklebox up and running it might be time to give up those dreams of the 1950s. We all use the same water fountain nowadays and want to get bad and boujee from...

Absolutely terrible service from what should be a great bar. Went in looking for an enjoyable scene and was met with nothing but a local distain that basically said if you aren't from here than you aren't welcome. Without provocation, was told to take my money and leave, and when I questioned the bartender who accused me, was told that it didn't matter if I was right to question what triggered their response, that I needed to leave. Even though patrons at the bar said that I said nothing deserving of the treatment I received, they were too afraid to say it directly to the bartender. So her rule was absolute and completely indifferent to reason and the truth. That sums up my experience with this bar. I even tried to listen to them and understand what they took offense to from me. But the reality is that it didn't matter, they just want to attack an outsider. Unfortunate for what could be such a great attribute for this area, but they seem to prefer to be a typical...

I asked for top shelf long Island ice Tea, the woman w dark curly hair bartender looked at me w wide eyes so I thought maybe she doesn't know how to build a real long Is.,so I said you know like build it not the premix, real rude made sure I knew it was cash but with infection I couldn't afford top shelf meanwhile I ordered it? The start of the day at the,beach with her being like this, anddd she didn't build it...... I think she poured me pre Mix anyways and still rude when I asked for a lemon Wedge. I'm a bartender and she's in for a surprise if she's already mean on a slow lunch this July. I wish I hadn't tipped at alll. The man working last night was very polite but I only got a vodka cran. So who knows if this bar is able to build a legitimate top shelf long Island ice tea? Goodness just wanted a nice drink since I make drinks for everyone too at the Casino, we're busy and I...
