1904 Music Hall

1904 Music Hall was the live-music room at 19 Ocean Street in downtown Jacksonville’s Elbow district. Google Places still matches that name and address and marks the listing CLOSED_PERMANENTLY, with a historical snapshot of 4.6 from 782 reviews. This Stay Safe Jax page is that closed concert hall. It is not Underbelly / The Albatross on East Bay Street, not Spliff’s, and not The Circuit Arcade Bar that Downtown Jacksonville now lists at the same Ocean Street address. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Because the venue is permanently closed, Stay Safe Jax does not use the historical Google file as a headline. The score here is 0 from 0 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. Residents should not read 4.6 as a current club rating. First Coast News reported in 2023 that 1904 would close in August after more than a decade, citing rising operating costs and a model that only opened for ticketed shows. Owner Jason Hunnicutt said concerts would move to sister venue Underbelly on the same block, with existing tickets honored. WJCT News on July 14, 2023 and Jacksonville Today the same week placed the hall at 19 N. Ocean Street and said lack of ticket sales and costs drove the decision. The Jacksonville Business Journal also covered the shutdown after about a dozen years as a cornerstone of The Elbow. Hunnicutt told WJCT the Ocean Street room would later return as a food-and-drink concept. Downtown Jacksonville’s venue directory now lists The Circuit Arcade Bar at 19 North Ocean Street. That tenant is a different business. Stay Safe Jax does not attach Circuit’s reviews to the 1904 page. A closed music hall is not a warning case. There is no current sourced lawsuit or safety investigation in the facts used here. Stay Safe Jax leaves open flags at 0. The listing stays active so residents can see the sourced 2023 closing, the rejected idea that Underbelly’s rating belongs here, and the later tenant at the same door. Stay Safe Jax does not add a company website.
