Hooligans, Jacksonville

Very shady place. Drugs, guns etc. We were pepper sprayed last night by a 300 lb bouncer out in the parking lot. I am talking about two women here. Did nothing to provoke it. Were heading to our awaiting ride. 300 lb bouncer and he pepper sprayed us. Big bad ass. NOT! You'll have yours coming.... Stay away from this place. I hope the base puts it off limits. The incident will be reported.

All you need to do is read the comment that I left on cartel40a's review to know how much I love this place. It has such a great atmosphere, and very nice people. I always feel safe when I'm there, and I've never had to worry about drugs or anything like that. If it were as bad as cartel40a desribes it, I would never have taken my daughter there countless times. My daughter is now 19 and we have gone there since she was about 14 I believe. We have been to countless concerts, and have enjoyed great service on each visit. Neither one of us drink, but I don't think that there is any other bar that either of us would ever go to in this town even if we did drink. My daughter seems to enjoy going more than I do, sometimes she goes with her friends for concerts without me when I have a late shift at work, or an early shift the next day. Never once has she ever said that she had a bad experience without me there. So take it from a daughter and a mother. We love this place and most people will too. As you can see from what I've said, this place is people friendly whether you drink or not. Never had a bad time there, and I don't forsee ever having one in the future.

I love hooligans, and I love the new nights they have added. It's great to open a place for everyone. I don't think they have had incidents with guns or violence there in a long time. But it's a night club I guess its bound to happen sometime. It's definitely better then Alexander's.

Stopped going because of the multiple incidents of guns, bullets and shootings.

LOVE IT!! I enjoy going there. There isn't any other bar I rather go to than Hooligans. Its just such a diverse crowd and scene. I love Dueling Pianos on tuesdays then going out dancing on thursday and saturday nights for their Top 40 dance. The security guys are another great thing. They walked to me to my car one night when they realized I was being stalked and hollered at every step I took. Just the whole staff in general is wonderful! If you are looking for a place to shoot pool and listen to music, have a few beers or whatever Hooligans is defitntely the place to be!

They bring awesome concerts here which you can't find any concert within a 3 hour drive. The bartenders are the best around, Rob & Nick you guys rock! The bouncers keep all the punks looking to fight under control or out of the place. If you're a female and you are walking out alone when it is dark you can ask any of the bouncers of the manager to walk you to your vehicle that is if they don't ask you first. They have a great dance floor and fun events all week long including beer pong night, karaoke night and just a great staff and crowd of people. It's basically the only place I will hang out in Jacksonville since I feel safe there and it's a great crowd of people. The only downside I can think of is on Fridays and Saturdays there can be a LONG line (probably because its a great place!) However once you're a regular and have gotten to know the staff you are treated like a VIP! I LOVE this place. Check out my myspace at www.myspace.com/dustymcbroom and you will find them in my top friends and can take a look at it for yourself!

I must say, I love Hooligan's And I'll repeat: I LOVE HOOLIGAN'S. They have of bringing great rock and metal bands, (both popular and relatively unknown) to 'lil ole Jacksonville, and for an affordable price at that. I have been there several times (I am even recognized as a regular there now)... and I will go again and again. If you're into the rock and metal scene, check out Hooligan's.

The prior business at the current location was nothing to write home about, however, The transformation was much waited for. The live music choices are Impressive with choises including chart toppers like Buck Cherry! The setup is spacious. The Bar is large. Pool tables, and video games. The bartender was quick to greet with a smile and a kind greeting, Though quite busy. And was suprisingly fast to complete our transaction. I did not experiance there menu but, there will be a next time. For a good time, avarage prices, Superior service drop by. you will not be dissapointed!

Love it. The food is awesome and the atmosphere is too. You can play pool, or just hang on the bar side, or go out to the dance floor. This place is a must try in Jacksonville!
