Aardwolf Brewing Company
A taproom inside a former ice plant on Hendricks. The building does a lot of the work here, and a beer list has no way of saying so.
Over 50 Jax: San Marco
Mediterranean Revival storefronts around San Marco Square, the lions at the fountain, and a walkable restaurant row that has been the city's dinner destination for decades.
Hard Pressed
Smashburgers that outgrew a food truck. The San Marco storefront on Hendricks took over the space Good Dough used, which makes it one of the few rooms in the city where the origin story is shorter than the lease.
Jack Rabbits
A 300-capacity club on Hendricks, across from the Balis Community Center, that has been booking original bands for more than twenty-five years. Beer and wine only, and all ages, which is part of why it has lasted.
This is a music venue. It is loud when a show is on.
Rue Saint-Marc
Scott and Gabrielle Alters run a dinner-only French room at the entrance to San Marco Square, with an open kitchen, a la carte and tasting menus, and a published list of the local farms they buy from. MICHELIN Recommended it in 2026, in the guide's first statewide Florida selection.
The Bearded Pig
Opened at 1224 Kings Ave and moved four blocks down to a purpose-built room in 2021. The backyard is as much of the draw as the tray, which is the sort of thing a menu never tells you.
