Mellow Mushroom Sept 12.
Welcome to Pie Town USA! Mellow Mushroom in Jacksonville Beach is the spot for awesome pizza, great beer and terrific local live music. At this popular watering hole smack in the middle of what's becoming known as Restaurant Row, there really is something for everyone. Ladies' night definitely draws a crowd every Thursday night, with $1 house wine and $3 Three Olives — for both genders. A huge crowd hangs there nearly every night; not surprisingly, Mellow Mushroom has a long list of happenings and events at all five locations. (New MMs are now open in Avondale and St. Augustine.) Poker nights, live music and beer clubs lure a diverse bunch. If you’re a football fan (and who isn't in Northeast Florida in the fall?), you're covered — tons of TVs and great sound let you catch all your SEC games and other conferences, too. Mellow Mushroom is the hub for beach peeps ready to cheer, party and dance all night.

Night Eye Folio Weekly /Raindogs.
No longer does a bibliophile have to ponder in agony: Do I stay home and read and drink beer alone, or do I venture out and read among the masses at a bar? Well, fellow imbibing bookworms, your search is over. Rain Dogs in Riverside has it all. Good drinks, good eats (menu available soon) and its own precious little library.
With a plethora of books and beers from which to choose, your night is sure to be fulfilling. Opened in July by local entrepreneurs in-the-know Christina Wagner, Ian Ranne and Will Greene, the bar in Historic Five Points draws a diverse crowd — much like the surrounding neighborhood denizens.
The space also serves as a venue for travelling musicians and artists; a recent show featured The Slaughter Daughters from Oregon, and St. Augustine artist Tony Rodrigues has several pieces on display. Displaying local art is an important part of Rain Dogs' appeal, and owners Wagner and Ranne are themselves performing musicians.
Some ongoing monthly events include DJ D.O.T.S. Dance Party every first Friday (soul, funk, rock n roll on all vinyl), Dialectable Beats $BIG BUCK$ Crew every first Saturday (hip hop, funk, soul), and Tambor (five-piece Latin jazz fusion) on the last Saturday of the month.
Night Eye Folio Weekly / Dos Gatos
Dos Gatos is the place to see and be seen in the Downtown Jacksonville scene. Directly across from The Florida Theatre on West Forsyth Street, 'Dos' is a not-so-hole-in-the-wall joint specializing in an array of cocktails. The low lights make it feel cozy and the giant couches complement the space by adding a relaxed vibe. If you're an avid imbiber, then this place is definitely for you — all the cocktails are specially made-to-order by the bartenders who ply their trade like artists. Some favorites include the Red Dawn made from seasonal berries, ginger and vodka; it's oh-so-smooth going down; El Verando is made from cucumber muddled with agave nectar, tequila and a splash of pineapple juice. The fun crowd is diverse, which makes it ideal for Trivia Night, held every Thursday.
