Located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, The Ritz has established itself as a beloved bar with a vibrant atmosphere. Patrons frequently commend the welcoming nature of the staff, with reviews highlighting the friendly and respectful service that enhances the experience. Van Kranchick shares that the core group of regulars contributes to the bar's inviting vibe, making it the go-to spot even amidst the post-9 PM chaos. The bar has a great local flair, creating a social ambiance where visitors can unwind and enjoy their time. Bar snacks, particularly the boiled peanuts, are a notable mention, providing the perfect accompaniment to their cold drinks. Reviews from Justin Jackson and Dan Williams affirm that the drinks are both refreshing and affordably priced—ideal for a casual night out. Furthermore, the DJ's music selection adds a lively energy to the venue, as noted by One Simple Cuban, making dancing an integral part of the experience. Whether you're new in town or a local, The Ritz promises a fun escape with its old-school charm and dedicated staff. As Daniel Calcaterra points out, where else can you enjoy a 16oz draft beer for just $3? A visit to The Ritz is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great company and a lively setting.

Reviews For The Ritz

Great core group of people. They are super friendly, respectable, always welcome you with a smile and a greeting and very social when time allows. Even with the Insanity that ensues after 2100 to 2200, they still keep their composure and provide the same service. So long as you dont bring the drama, even security is friendly. I tested out a few of the bars in the area the first two weeks of football season and, while there was one that came close to me choosing it, because of those cool people and great vibes, I chose to spend the rest of the season there. I definitely recommend this spot!

This spot was the our second stop that night and our last. It was awesome in there! Everyone was dancing it was great. No issues with no one and the DJ had a good mix that night. Wish he played some house, then again... I did arrive a little late ...

Been there twice now (new in town). It's an old school bar (only snacks, no kitchen) with great prices. Staff has been very good, friendly and on top of things. Where else can you get a decent draft 16oz beer for 3 these days?

What I love about the Ritz is it reminds me a lot of my favorite college bar. Cheap drinks loud mid thousands hip-hop music a makeshift dance floor later on the night and just wall-to-wall packed if you or someone who is going out with your squad in your 20s to early 30s it is the place to go to. They also have food out front, they have billiards. I like to play pool and bumper ball and darts. They got a little bit of everything there in addition to some good old-fashioned beach bar vibes.

I went to meet some coworkers. They r half my age, so its not a place for me. But it was a fun Saturday night. Everyone was having a great night. So many people behind the bar n very helpful. They came by often to check on us. An they even carded me. I laughed cause I'm 62. they were so cute at the door.

Was an awesome place. They had free popcorn and I got introduced to their unique spicy boiled peanuts they had complimentary. I went from not liking them to being super impressed. Very cozy atmosphere and i had a super nice waitress.
