Are Mondays "quiet" in Jacksonville?

braeburn · October 05, 2009, 06:40:32 PM

I missed the weekend crash trash and bash activities and have some free time tonight and tomorrow. I was wondering if there was any activity at any bars or clubs on Monday nights downtown or surounding areas.

So... anyone know where there's a good place to go for people that don't have their days off on the weekends?

Every nite is quiet in Jacksonville.

It's 3:45 AM and I have to say I thoroughly disagree with the last post

Back in my single days I always had something planned for nearly every night of the week. And I don't think it's as quiet as it used to be...there's a healthy amount of nightlife options in the core area compared to just 5 years ago.

It just depends on what age you want to be around when you go out. Mondays usually have the youngest crowd and it gets progressively older as the week goes on, heh, or at least that's how my theory goes.

Milk Bar was THE punk/rock concert venue in Downtown Jax in the 90s. They also had legendary old wave night every monday with cheap drinks and great 80s music in the main room and hip hop DJs in the "green room". and it was PACKED every week. I miss that place dearly.

The Milk Bar was the first night club/Bar I went to when I first moved to jax in '98 to attend UNF. What a great place it was. I saw a lot of good shows there back in the day; Unwritten Law, Blink 182, The Bosstones... That place was awesome. Did it close down because of fire code violations??

I'm not sure why exactly it closed down, but code violations wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I know they moved to 618 W. Forsyth St. where it was immediately dubbed "Milkdome" due to the building's previous inhabitant, a club called Paradome. It was a nice place to see a show, but lacked the hot, sweaty, basement-dwelling charm of the original Milkbar.

Shanty Town's "Metal Mondays" where they have cheap quarts...

OR

If your down at the bech and you like Newcastle (one of my favorites) than it's $2 Newcastle pints at Ritz. Use to be only $1 but they recently raised it to $2.

do they serve milk?

TREE4309 · October 07, 2009, 09:04:34 PM

maybe in a white russian or something?

Mondays are infamously loud in San Marco at Square One if that's your scene... they remind me a bit of some rap star music video.

Oh, the good days. I was at the Bosstones show. Hopefully downtown can attract some known names again soon. Just don't know which venue.
