As someone who only recently started exploring craft cocktails, this has likely been my favorite bar discovery to date. This is a V Pizza establishment, and in their tradition of opening a bar of some sort in conjunction with the pizza, Flask & Cannon is a rum-focused, tiki-themed experience. The food is standard V Pizza fare, so enjoy their wood-fire grilled wings before ordering yourself some of their delicious pizza (also cooked in their signature wood-fire ovens).
Of course, if you're looking at Flask & Cannon, you're probably in it for the drinks. If you want a party drink that will vanish before you realize it, the Banana Republic is decadent yet light, modeled after a Painkiller #2 (aka: a refined piña colada) but the main rum is a banana-flavored rum that rides the wave of coconut and dominates this drink's flavor profile. If you'd like a taste of the classics, they also serve delectable takes on the Three Dots and a Dash and the Zombie.
Make sure to check out their social media, as they frequently post events and/or specialty drinks on the regular.

What made this place special was the tiki-esque decor, the bowl of liquor I saw served to a table behind us and the badass octopus mural on the side of the building, geniusly lit up by black lights so it looked like it glowed in the dark.
With the friendly service and cool vibes, I won't hesitate to come back here for a date night or gno, better prepared to order off the...
Read moreI am appalled at the pure disrespect of the staff, especially the manager. I was excited to bring my old college friend to Flask and Cannon for her first time in Jax beach to celebrate her recent engagement. To my astonishment, they refused to serve her due to the fact she “looked too young”. My friend is 26 years old and petite with a very real and legal ID. Refusal to serve her was honestly embarrassing for the manager and staff because of their lack of education on how to properly identify an ID. I hope this review encourages the staff to educate themselves and treat their customers with respect and kindness in the future. Not only was it a horrible experience, the manager was extremely rude about...
