Myrtle Avenue Brewing — Restaurant in Jacksonville

My absolute favorite brewery of all time. Seriously. The historic building is wonderful. The decor is eclectic, and a great vibe. They have kids’ toys inside and outside, and EVEN IN THE POTTIES while mom or dad go! Their beer is sooo good (even tried a cider there I loved, and I’m not a cider girlie). Their merch is 10/10 — my favorite brewery tshirt I own is MAB. They are inclusive and support all kinds of local charities. They also have live music every Thursday and usually other nights of the week too. They have a bar kitty named Myrtle. Dogs are allowed. The staff has always been super friendly. Their outdoor patio is so cozy and cute at the same time, and they have both covered and uncovered seating. The outdoor area is pretty shady during the daytime, which is nice in the Florida summers. They also have a food hut and two local gigs take turns providing the food vending during the week. When I tell you I LOVE this brewery, I LOVE...

Myrtle Ave Brewing was the perfect venue for our kids' birthday party this past Friday! The shaded outdoor area was great with plenty of tables, chairs, shade, and fans to keep everyone comfortable despite the summer heat. The kids had an absolute blast with the playground and toys.

A huge shoutout to Patrick, our awesome bartender, who kept a tab open for kids' juice behind the bar and took fantastic care of all the parents.

The delicious Filipino food truck on-site was a hit and made dinner a breeze.

We emailed in advance to reserve the space and chat logistics with Jodie and then all we had to do was show up with decorations and cupcakes....

I have been to MAB a few times since they opened during the daytime on the weekend and the evening after work. Every experience has been a delight! The bartenders are courteous and attentive. The beers are delicious, especially the refreshing Snakebite. The atmosphere indoor is relaxing. There is a TV for watching sports ball (if that's what you're into). The outdoor space is extremely kid friendly with comfortable lounge chairs for parents to monitor the little ones. Perfect combination of a family friendly and social environment....
