Rack'em Up Sports Bar & Billiards — Restaurant in Jacksonville

Absolutely terrible experience!! Everyone should be also be cautioned that this place will call the police on you if you try to sleep it off in your vehicle like a responsible person instead of driving home drunk.

So, I'm a freelance documentary film maker doing some work in Jacksonville for about a month. I come into this place and drop a bunch of cash a few times. I sleep in my van because I have all my camera and audio stuff, and I'm always traveling.

I go into this place one night and have some drinks. This guy comes up to me and tells me that I shouldn't park my van in the lowes parking lot because somehow I'm "scaring the women". This was the stupidest thing that I've ever heard. I am well asleep long before the place even closes. Anyway, I basically told him that he should mind his own business.

Anyway, at 3am, the police are shinning lights in my van talking about I can't be here and how the manager said I'm banned from the bar, and I've been camping around the area. I guess the police are used to dealing with a bunch of intellectually challenged meth heads at that hour, because they tried that good ole boy "throwing their weigh around crap". They even said they would tow my car away with me in it lol

I quickly corrected these officers by telling them that I'm well aware of my rights, and if they tow me away while I'm in it, there will be severe kegal consequences. I also told them that I'm a member of the 24 hour gym and if I want to be on that property 24 hours a day, I'm legally entitled to do so. The result was that I ended up staying there for the rest of the night.

In closing, I would be very cautious of a bar that behaves this way against patrons who spend money. I'm considering asking my producer if we could conduct a social experiment by sending in 20 year olds with hidden cameras to buy alcohol. I'm sure that would make...

I have autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder so finding a place where I can be social and still feel safe and comfortable can be difficult. Rack is that place for me. Lexie, Jordyn, Kalei, Bella, Whitney, Mark, Bambi, Cyrus, and other great people there that truly make my day better when I am able to go out.

The service is very good. I have never found myself waiting an unreasonable amount of time for service. They always provide service with a positive attitude.

The food is actually quite good. Personally, I recommend the wings. Good size, cooked well, plenty of sauce options and very fairly priced.

There are plenty of beverage options and they are made quite well.

My favorite night of the week is Sunday when DJ Randall hosts karaoke night. There is quite a lot of talent that comes out and it is enjoyable to listen to and sometimes participate myself.

I would recommend checking out their Facebook page as well as their Instagram to see what all is going on, as they do have events that are weekly and...

We went on a Friday night. When we got in it seemed fine. The atmosphere was lively with a live DJ. The DJ was pretty basic, didn't take any risks, which is fine. That's pretty much the bottom line about this place, no risks. Can't fault them for that.

However, what we can fault them for is the very slow service times. And expensive pool table fees. Getting a drink would take upwards of 10 minutes with the bar empty and 5 bar tenders. They were too busy running games instead of serving more customers. Bar tenders would look at you, see you dont have a drink infront of you, then go back to talking to each other.

As for thw expensive pool table fees, its 11 an hour which is pretty standard for STANDARD tables. They have multiple tables but they are "quarter" table size without the option to pay with quarters. If those tables actually accepted quarters you would probably pay at most 4 an hour.

I doubt I will...
