theLOFT, Jacksonville FL

Cool atmosphere but can get way overcrowded. Decent DJ and drinks. Bartenders are polite.

It was a great experience up until the bouncer decided to get upset that there was banging on the bathroom door by SEVERAL people who were concerned someone might have been passed out in the bathroom he was in or they really had to use the bathroom. He came out with aggression about the banging and I said it was my partner and I because we were one of the several. He then proceeded to get in my face and my boyfriend of course did not like that so he stepped to him and got pushed. The bouncer told him to go outside with him and then he disappeared without reasoning or a chance to explain what actually happened just for us to be told my boyfriend was kicked out and not the both of us. Just ridiculous!

Dj playing just 50 songs in two hours is out dated that’s some 90s style. It’s 2021 UPGRADE!

I have not gone to any of these clubs as of yet, but I like to read the reviews before I do. I like what I read and the only problem seems to be that it's not enough room to move around. Great post and I can't wait to try it for myself now. Thanks!

If an item of yours is stolen or lost, security does nothing about it especially if you know who stole it

Went out Saturday night with my cousin for her birthday and we started at park place (amazing place) then we moved to the loft, Which dont get me wrong to each person their own bar, but man for a packed place they sure do try to take advantage.

To clarify, I was the only one to order drinks out of our group, and I ordered a LIT, which the lady bartender goes to make. Now, anyone who knows a LIT, got quite a few liquors or a premixed with all liquors in one. Well, this was lemonade sugar water and not only that she tries to charge me for 2! I quickly notice, not even leaving the bar, I waved down what looked like to be the manager or owner and he quickly rectified the situation and boy that drink was good! So good, I order one more before leaving!

Let's fast forward to today Wednesday 08-14-19 5 days later and a $20 charge for the first set of drinks appears on my banking statement, which I only got 1, and a $10 for the last one. Park place charged me instantly, same night, no lag, tip included in the transaction. Dafuq guys?

Just want to say be careful. Not only that, 2 Iranian dude 30-40 years of age was trying to rub up on girls in that place as well. Warned the security guy close to us and he kept an eye out.

It gets overly crowded in there. You cant walk with out touching someone. The music is sometimes good. To get a drink your best bet is to go to the back bar. Or have some drinks before you go. Make sure you get 2 drinks though at the main bar so you don't have to go back and wait.
