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.

- noon–2amFri
Sherwood'sFriday lemon drop shots
Flavoured lemon drop shots at $6 to start the weekend. No other Friday discount is published, and the price is not tied to a stated window.
- 3–6pmMon–Fri
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”.
- 3–6pmSun & Tue–Sat
Posting HouseDaily happy hour
The bar publishes the window — “Happy Hour daily, 3-6pm” — and not much else. The one clue to what moves is the House Club membership, which is sold partly on “Happy Hour on house drafts all day every day”, so the house taps are the line that comes down. Off the standard list, draft beer runs $7 to $8 and the tap wines $8 to $9, with glasses of champagne and sparkling from $8.
- 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 & Tue–Sat
Gemma Fish + OysterHappy hour
Half-price wines by the glass, $1 off draft beer and a selection of cocktails at $8, with a short bar menu running alongside: Lil’ Tempura $6, Truffle Fries $7, Fried Fish Bites $8, Jerk Chicken Skewers $10, a Tuna Poke Bowl $12 and a chef’s-choice dozen of raw oysters at market price. It runs every day the restaurant opens except Monday.
- 4–6pmSun & Tue–Sat
TavernaDaily happy hour
Taverna runs happy hour every day it opens, which is Tuesday through Sunday, from 4 to 6pm. It is one of the nine menus the restaurant publishes separately, sitting alongside the cheese and salumi list and Kiley Efron’s wine-by-the-glass list, and the kitchen also offers it to go.
- 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.
