Review from Hilary L.

Sneakers is big. There are a lot of tables. A lot of tvs [for all that sports watching, of course]. A lot of Jerseys donning the walls as far as the eye can see. Lots and lots of beer and wings and fries and nachos and chicken fingers [to provide sustenance during all of that intense sports game watching]. And a lot of sports fans.
This is not your average, slightly dive-ish sports bar. It's bright and shiny and clean! It's a nice place, if you can imagine it. A sports bar that's nice? That seems like an oxymoron. But it's true.
I am not a huge sports far, but I do enjoy the occasional game. And if you are in the mood to enjoy an occasional [or frequent] game, then this is a great place to go. It's a little like Disney's brand of sports bars, but it's clean and fun and energetic and pretty much as good as a sports bar can get. -

Food was decent, service was HORRIBLE!! Host complained about seating us and that set the tone. Lots of tvs, but football was the only thing playing. No baseball, no NASCAR. VERY loud.

Love the wing sauce selection.
If you like watching football and racing then this is a good place to hang.
Full bar-drink specials
Well lit,and roomy-can get packed and run out of tables at times still though.
A lot of staff.
Decent grub and value.
I am not a fan because I do not care for sports or sport bars but not bashing the place at all.
Could be slightly less $$$ though for value and portions. -

A great sports bar!! Huge and spacious with TVs accessible to every table and booth. There were multiple huge screens too, at least 4.
We arrived 1 hr before the NFL games (go E-A-G-L-E-S) started so we just missed the lunch ordering rush which was a huge plus! Our server was Manny and might possibly be one of the best servers I have had this year. I'm sure waiting tables can b annoying - that's why I never opted to take that as a job - so anytime I run into a server that is naturally friendly, I love it!! Also, even though a server may be really good at their job, doesn't always mean they are friendly. Manny made this visit a great experience. He joked around, gave us suggestions on what to get and was just genuinely hilarious; And anyone that can make me laugh, earns mega points.
Being from Philly it is hard to please me with anything with the title "Philly" in the title at a restaurant because I KNOW "Philly" style food. However, I always have to try it and judge! ha! So, we got the Philly steak nachos to start and the cut of the Philly steak was amazing. They were not an overwhelming portion either so that is good. I would have rather real cheddar instead of nacho cheese but it was still really yummy!
Also, this bar won me over because they had Woodchuck Cider on tap, FOR THE WIN!
For lunch I chose the fajita quesadillas and they were pretty good. Again, the portion was a good size, but the filling was minimal too and could have used a bit more chicken and cheese.
Overall, pretty good sports bar experience and I was very pelase!Listed in: Cider

SUPERSIZE ME! Thats what I feel like yelling when I walk into this place. It's absolutely huge with a giant bar in the middle. Lots of tv's around which play various football, hockey, etc. If you're trying to watch a less popular sport like lacrosse or motorsports racing and it's crowded you're probably gonna have a hard time getting them to switch over. God forbid someone might miss out on the golf channel....
All the waitresses dress up in these little cheer leading outfits which suits some more then others. Little more refined then hooters but not by much.
As far as the food goes its pretty standard sport bar. I tend to think it's a little over priced for jacksonville. It's 9.99 for a burger, 9.99 for a big thing of nachos. swea tea was only 1.85 which is fine sine it has unlimited refills.
Honestly, you don't come to this place for the food. You come here to get your drink on, fantasize about where else you might find women wearing the same outfits, and if you're sober enough catch something athletic on the big screen. nuf said -

Ah, I forgot about the best sports bars in Jax. How could I, when I always talk about how good their nachos and wings are?
I've been many times to watch major sporting events in a fun atmosphere. My only problem is that they don't have enough TV screens. For example, if I look straight down at the floor, I can't see a TV. If you look anywhere else though, you get a great picture.
I think their wings are really good. They are about twice the size of Hooter's or Winghouse and the sauce choices are good too. I already mentioned the nachos. The fried gator tail? Not so much.
They have 3 locations I know of. One is on Baymeadows and 9a (newest), one is at Jax Beach and the other is on Atlantic (never been). -

Yummy!
This place has a pretty decent beer selection, GREAT assortment of TVs of all sizes for game days, and the food is super yummy! The Philly Nachos are great! and the Pepper Jack Burger is perfectly spicy and cheesy!
You can't go wrong hitting up this place for a game!
PS - our waiter Manny was hilarious!! And so nice! -

Great place to see games. Go there to watch games and drink, they have a full bar. Don't expect anything special as far as beer goes (typical Jax).
While you're there, tolerate an appetizer to hold you over until you can go somewhere else when the game is over. I was there watching a game once while the seafood festival was going on nearby. I ducked out and snuck some seafood back in to eat!
Beware of obnoxious Gator fans! -

If you like cold beer - and appreciate the frosted glass - this is a great spot. If you're looking for a cool sports atmosphere - maybe to watch a game with some friends - this is a great spot. If you are a foodie - ahh, maybe you should look else where.

Good sports bar but not too friendly with motor sports enthusiasts. A group of 8 of us tried to watch F1 qualifying and were told they could not change the channel. What was on TV? Golf. Typical Jacksonville :-(
I got an Idea how about a each table vote with $$ as to what is shown on the big screen? -

Nice place to view the game. I'd suggest nearby Dick's Wings in Jax Beach as an alternative for better food.

This bar has a great location, and a good ambiance. Personally I prefer the large area of the outdoor bar. if you are there with a bunch of friends during the off-season or in between games the Trivia game they offer (broadcast on their TVs and played on wireless keypads) is a lot of fun.
However, all of the Sneakers locations are a little over priced when it comes to their drinks. Certainly not enough to keep me from ever going, but enough to keep it from becoming my regular watering hole.
If I have the itch to sit outside, near the beach, and drink alcohol this place is my first thought. Outside of that though there are better deals to be had elsewhere. -

It took about 20 minutes to get a menu and another 20 minutes to order.
Luckily it only took 15 more minutes to get our drinks.
The prime ribs I ordered were horrible. My colleague seem to think his quesadilla was decent. I must have ordered the wrong stuff.
Fortunately for me, the weather was awesome at the time. It was 75 degree with a slight sea breeze. I enjoyed the night regardless.
You are probably wondering how this place got 3 stars by now.
Well, it wasn't because of the waitresses in cheerchealer outfits.
It was the appetizers that didn't arrive until after I was done with the god awful prime ribs.
Those wings taste fresh out of the purdue package. There was 0 frozen taste to it. They were nice and tender. The waiter did suggest blackened wings, which left the skin crispy and delicious while the meat inside stayed soft, fresh and juicy. The wings alone deserves 3 stars. I will go back just for the wings. -

This place is HUGE!!! There are tons of TV's, tables, and staff. They have a full liquor bar, which is pretty convenient for those that like to drink. Their cheese fries are to die for, but let's not forget their steaks and garlic potatoes, omg... DELICIOUS! The only bad thing was that when they brought out the dishes, the plates were extremely hot and I burned my arm, but it wasn't worth getting upset over it, I was in vacation and didn't want to stress..lol This place is fun and they have great food!

Not impressed. The food was ok. When we 1st got there the waitress warned us she was the only one working and that she was "overwhelmed". That was an honest warning of what was to come.

Located in Jax beach, this place is a 12,000 square foot sports bar originally owned partially by the famed right guard of the Jaguars, Tony Boselli. One of the largest sports themed Jacksonville restaurants. It became an immediate Jacksonville Beach landmark when it opened in August, 2001. There's plenty of sports memorabilia, monster televisions, a large horseshoe bar in the middle, and another "open air" bar facing First St. The menu here is beer and, well, sports food. One local TV station broadcasts their Jaguars show from here during the season. Sneakers, no doubt, will be a major Super Bowl Destination for those of us without tickets!
Sneakers Sports Grille was voted number 2 on http://MSN.com city search for steaks, second only to Ruth Chris. http://MSN.com city search also named Sneakers Sports Grille the best sports bar in Jacksonville and one of the top ten sports bars in the country.
I come for the drinks and maybe something to munch on like their Cesar salad with blacken chicken or stacked nachos. -

They dont have the best food in the world. I had lots and lots of fun here. Would come here for everything Jaguar related. I remember when Tony Boseli had celebrity bar tending. Would come here then. I think they also did Monday Night Live here also. Lots of fun.
