I went last night, was a nice mix of people. Was a VERY Indie crowd tho.
Limited selection in beer and wine, no harder liquore and limited seating. Is a good "Starter bar" someplace you go to socialze before going to your destination for the night.

Not my scene, probley wont go back. Me and my friend that went wernt really fitting in at all. ALTHOUGH $1 sakie shots kept me entertained.

Just very Scenie and Indie if that makes any since to anyone.


edit: In responce to River, the staff was more then accomidating to me and my friend and we didnt fit, actually did sakie shots with them. You might have come off as rude although it is a very young staff so Im sure they are still learning on bar serving

(Yes Im chasing river on this lol)

Would you people get some skinny jeans already?!?!?

Seriously...I converted to skinny jeans about 1 year ago and the world has been a much kinder place for me.  Things definitely have been better...it's all in the skinny jeans, it is the secret ingredient!

The Sinclair which is the old Voodoo Lounge is located on Forsyth. It is under new ownership and has added many more events to it's calendar since. Karaoke by DJ Randall is held on Tuesday's and will soon become one of the best karaoke nights in Jax. Wednesday is Open Stage and it is a great platform for many types of artists. Musician's can come jam, poets can recite, artist's can display, and comedians can humor us all, among others. Thursday's, Friday's, and Saturday's are usually reserved for live music, and it has not been short in talent. From out of town bands to local anomalies, you ears will never be bored. They offer great drink specials, from cheap draft and bottle beers to their specialty drinks, such as the Chocotini,and the Cupcake and Cotton Candy shots which are all extremely tasty. The atmosphere is top notch, and the patrons always make it a great time. You can check their monthly calender at Sinclairjax.com, or stop in any night and talk to the owners, Aj and Jason Wilson. You will not be disappointed!

Welcome Whiteaspen!  Do you have a Happy Hour?  If so what are the specials? :)

I know these are older posts, but the Sinclair is under new ownership and the enviroment has vastly changed. There are a lot more events happening and they are open for more than 3 days now. 3 different types of Bold City on tap, as well as Yeungling, Miller lite and others. There are fabulous specialty drinks like the Chocotini, Cotton Candy and Cupcake Shots, as well as a great selection of bottled beer, wine and great homemade Sangria. They also offer an amazing pulled pork sandwhich special that comes with the sandwhich, a $3 draft, aand a bag of chips for $8, and it is top notch. The Music is always amazing and it's always different. They don't care what you look like, they welcome you like family. AJ and Jason Wilson are the new owners with Chris Stanton as the bartender,and these 3 guys are awesome friends of mine. They take care of you as best they can. Tuesday is Karaoke with DJ Randall, and it's a stellar time. Wednesday is Open Stage and it's for musicians as well as poets, artists, comedians, etc. Any one is welcome to participate. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays usually offer amazing live bands, from out of town favorites to killer locals. Cover prices rarely go above $5 and it's well worth it. This is an amazing place to be and is only getting better!

Bridgetroll. Thanks!

They usually offer 2 for one Saki, Cupcake, or Cotton Candy Shots. It just depends on the day, but they are pretty reasonable in their pricing to begin with.

There are 3 great bands playing tonight. You should def check them out. Cover is $3 and it is also the owner(AJ)'s wife's birthday, so it will be a good time to be had by all!

When will they have Tough Junkie on stage?
Mike Hogan Destruction Eruption!

Chris Stanton is in charge of entertainment, so find him on facebook or the Sinclair facebook page and ask him! If you can get in contact with anyone from that band, that would be better too. He needs someone to correspond with. They are always looking for great new bands! I believe they are talking of doing a show with Marion Crane, Shawn Fisher, and The Embraced coming soon....That should be epic!
