Happy hour
Every happy hour we can stand behind in Jacksonville, with what is actually cheaper rather than the words “drink specials”. Windows change without notice — the venue is the source of truth.

Mojo Bar-B-QueWeekday happy hour
A dollar off beer and wine, and that is the whole of it - the restaurant names no qualifying beers or wines, publishes no food discount and has no separate happy hour menu. Its FAQ puts it as “All hours spent at Mojo are happy ones, but the Happiest of Hours occur Monday-Friday from 3-6”.
- 3–7pmMon–Sat
V PizzaSidecar happy hour
V Pizza publishes the window for Sidecar, the cocktail bar inside its San Marco store, but not what comes off the price. Its bars page says only “Happy Hour Every day 3-7PM” against a list of house cocktails, microbrews and spirits, and tells drinkers to ask for the Cocktail of the Week. Sunday runs on a different, all-day window and is filed separately.
- 4–6pmSun–Thu
The Grape & Grain ExchangeSunday to Thursday happy hour
Draft beer opens at $3 for Dos Equis and $3.50 for Miller Lite, with Stella Artois at $4, Stiegl and Bell’s Two Hearted at $4.50, and Guinness and the boilermaker at $5. Wines by the glass start at $6 - Santa Julia Malbec, La Fiera Pinot Grigio, Line 39 Cabernet, Nicolas Chardonnay - then run up through $7 Vinho Verde and cava and $9 Cotes du Rhone to $13 for St. Hubert’s The Stag Cabernet and $14 for Lemelson Pinot Noir. No food specials are listed, which is consistent with a bar that runs charcuterie and snacks rather than a kitchen.
- 4.30–6.30pmMon–Fri
Matthew's RestaurantM Lounge happy hour
Two dollars off bar bites, beer, wine by the glass, craft cocktails and house spirits, plus a $10 price on Grey Goose and Buffalo Trace cocktails. It is lounge-only — the restaurant states “Monday-Friday 4:30pm-6:30pm | Only in the M Lounge” — and the lounge itself is open from 4.30pm to 10pm on weekdays. Dress is business casual and guests who do not meet it are seated in the lounge rather than the dining room.
- 4.30–10pmMon
Matthew's RestaurantHalf-price wine Mondays
“More than 200 of the wines in our cellar are half-priced every Monday,” by the bottle. Bottles left out of the offer are marked with an asterisk on the wine list, and it cannot be combined with any other promotion. This is separate from the lounge happy hour, which runs on the same evening.
- 5–9pmMon
Rue Saint-MarcBubbles & Pearls
Oysters at $3 each and cut prices on the house’s favourite bottles of Champagne and sparkling wine, across the whole of Monday dinner service at a MICHELIN-recommended bistro. The oysters are first come, first served, and the restaurant warns they sell out.
