Research What Jacksonville residents should know
The Volstead is the downtown Jacksonville cocktail bar at 115 West Adams Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 274-2832. This Stay Safe Jax page is The Volstead on Adams Street. It is not Black Sheep Restaurant in Five Points, not an Insetta restaurant page, and not Chew. Chew sat at 117 West Adams Street and closed in 2012. Residents looking for a closed restaurant next door should not treat this bar as that room. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists The Volstead at 4.6 from 960 reviews for the 115 West Adams Street listing, the same place ID stored here. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating and no independent news article with a public URL for this bar, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.6 from 960 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. Stay Safe Jax does not invent Beacon recaps or fake local stories to fill the article slot. Google currently lists hours Monday through Thursday 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., Friday 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., Saturday 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., and Sunday 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Hours change. Check Google the night you go downtown. Google Places also lists wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, restroom, and seating. Stay Safe Jax did not independently inspect the room. Call ahead if you need a specific accommodation. An earlier catalog flag on this listing is removed. There is no current sourced warning, lawsuit, or investigation in the facts Stay Safe Jax is using for this review. A downtown cocktail bar with a 4.6 Google snapshot is an ordinary nightlife listing, not a hit list. Stay Safe Jax leaves open flags at 0. The Volstead is a Downtown Jacksonville bar on Adams Street with posted late hours, a large Google review file, and Google accessibility tags. If you want the public Maps listing, use the Google source on this page. Stay Safe Jax does not add the company’s own website. Downtown Jacksonville nightlife listings get mixed together when rooms share a block. The Volstead is 115 West Adams Street. Chew was 117 West Adams Street and has been closed since 2012. Black Sheep was a Five Points restaurant, not an Adams Street cocktail bar. Stay Safe Jax removed an older warning flag because this review has no current sourced legal or safety case. A 4.6 Google snapshot from 960 reviews is a strong, ordinary downtown bar score. Check Google for hours the night you go, because late rooms change last call.
