Locals is the best bar on this beach, maybe even on this half of the continental USA. I have seen more awesome shenanigans go down at this bar than at every other place on Jax beach combined. Bartenders are chill and know their stuff for the most part. Smitty, the manager, is welcoming and level-headed. Beer pong tournament tuesdays are fun and worth going just for the beer deals. I think I will be going back to this place yearly for the rest of my life.
If you don’t know about Local’s, you’re definitely missing out. Whether or not you qualify as a true Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach local, you can absolutely count on being treated like one here! Incredibly well stocked bar, always a clean and positive environment, killer lay out and energy, and an absolutely exceptional outside area! Jonathan Lucas and staff are extraordinary, this is a definite “Don’t miss” when you’re in the area! Side note - the “attached” Sadler’s Ranch establishment - usually only open Friday and Saturday nights, proves itself as an absolutely exceptional music venue, with regular performances by well-known artists, in an incredibly intimate setting!
An awesome place to hang out and chill or play pool and party! Much love to Donald, Kristy and the crew! We had a blast watching yall have fun on pong night last week, loved the good energy! ...
Love Locals. Fantastic cocktails. Friendly service and the beat happy hour on the island!
One of my go-to spots on Friday and Saturday nights. It's almost always popping and the staff and bartenders are very accommodating. There are lots of pool tables in pretty good shape; it's 1 per rack. They have good drinks and good prices. There is also a nice outdoor area often with a live band. The outside area also has fires when it's cold out. There is usually a DJ inside but they can be hit or miss.
We have really enjoyed Locals. The bar has a great atmosphere. The drinks are mixed well. There is a great selection of beers and hard liquors. Rob is our favorite bartender. He's always friendly and conversational. Can't beat a happy hour that's 7 hours long - 1PM to 8PM. Good drinks, good service, all for a great price.
I had great customer service and friendly customer interaction. My bartenders Amber and Smitty did an amazing job on their Old Fashions. I had each of them make me one to see who’s scored best with me. I won’t share the overall winner but they both exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and bar crowd. Definitely comeback when I’m in town
Great locals pub. Excellent selection of beers. Very friendly staff. Cool ambiance and outdoor space too.
