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.
Saturday11 places
- 11am–10pmSat
Al's PizzaAll-day Saturday happy hour
Al’s runs happy hour all day at the weekend, so the $3 draft beers and house wines hold from the doors opening at eleven until the kitchen closes at ten on Saturday.
- 11am–6pmSat
Restaurant OrsaySaturday cocktail hour
Saturday gets its own, much longer window: Orsay runs cocktail happy hour from 11am straight through to 6pm, opening the discount at the same moment the restaurant opens for brunch. Gulf coast oysters are $2 on the cocktail hour menu.
- 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.
- 3–7pmEvery day
The Casbah CafeDaily happy hour
Discounted beer, wine and wells, and discounted hookahs, every day of the week from 3 to 7. The Casbah publishes no prices for any of it. Hookah service is 21 and over, needs two forms of ID and requires a drink order - water counts if you are eating - and carries a $100 damage charge.
- 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.
- 3.30–6.30pmTue–Sat
Joseph's PizzaHappy hour
Three-dollar pizza slices, with toppings from 65 cents; $3 Bud Light, Yuengling, Michelob Ultra and Duval Light, on draft or in domestic bottles; and $5 house wine, the choice being Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, White Zinfandel or Chardonnay. It is dine-in only, though the restaurant notes that togo and curbside are available at ordinary prices.
- 4–7pmTue–Sat
Cowford ChophouseBar and rooftop happy hour
The steakhouse opens at four and dinner service does not start until five, and that hour-plus gap is the happy hour, taken at the bar or upstairs on the roof looking across to the Southbank. The restaurant’s own description of the rooftop is that it is where the “casual happy hour gatherings” happen. What comes down in price is not published: the menus page has gone and the only menus the site links now are the spring 2026 dinner and dessert PDFs.
- 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.
- 4–7pmMon–Sat
The GarageHappy hour
A dollar off draft beer, $1 glasses of wine and $3.75 for all 3 Olives vodka. That is the whole published list: no food deal, and nothing on the cocktails or on the rest of the wine.
- 5–7pmEvery day
The Fish CompanyDaily happy hour
Bud Light, Miller Lite and Yuengling drafts are $3.50, house wines $5, and house margaritas, house Bloody Marys and Skyy vodka martinis $5. The bar is a full one with an oyster bar alongside it; raw oysters, steamed oysters and steamed clams are $17 a dozen and an oyster shooter $5.25 off the regular menu, none of which is discounted.
