Downtown Jacksonville Before and After the Game

Pick a stadium-side bite, a Downtown dinner, a cocktail by the Florida Theatre, or a live show at The Albatross.

For food by the arena and ballpark, start with That Bar at the Arena. It sits across A. Philip Randolph Boulevard, so a meal here fits around either venue.

Going to EverBank Stadium? Allow a longer walk through the sports complex and use the Jaguars current construction and arrival guidance.

Make dinner a separate part of the outing

Cowford Chophouse is farther west in Downtown for a sit-down meal. Its location is not next door to the stadium. Dos Gatos is a cocktail stop by the Florida Theatre; neither is presented here as a confirmed TV watch spot.

Catch a show at The Albatross on Bay Street

The Albatross is the former Underbelly room at 113 E Bay St. The stage stayed, the name changed, and the new owners gave Downtown a darker place for bands, goth nights, cult movies, street food, and a drink after midnight. Read the story behind the rebrand, then check the venue's current calendar before going.

Keep watching in Springfield

Strings Sports Brewery Springfield publishes big-screen sports viewing alongside its scratch kitchen and house beer. Plan a drive from the sports complex.

Sports & Game Day connects the pro venues and college campuses to more food, drinks, and TV stops.
