Oh The LOFT...so much I could say, one of them being this will be the source of MANY good nights to come, if you love to dance, greet yourself with a shot of Vodka and have at it. Very comfortable cheers-esque environment where everyone knows everyone, expect to see normally the same crowd with the exception of handful of curious sightseers. Always a fun-filled experience, never a disappointing night. The only thing one could say would be better would be drink specials. Expect to spend a couple bucks if you are looking to get the most out of your night. Other than that small oversight , different days have different events, such as Thursdays your drink FREE PBR from 9p-10p if you are on the list; $3 otherwise, Saturdays are usually when you can expect to see large crowds with long lines, bring BETTER entertainment. you will more than often see migrates from The Pearl located here, if you knew of the myth once called The Pearl then you know the outstanding chaos you are up against. Enough said, come one come all! 5/5

This could go as a bar/small club. Love the decor in this place, and the big screen plays some awesome remix videos to the live DJ music. They also have two TVs over the bar that plays movies on repeat. Thursdays are good nights to go if you want to have fun and people watch. Expect to show up around 10:30-11 for when it starts to get going. So many different walks of life come here. Mainly a hipster venue (due to the area its in), but youll get anyone and everyone in this place. Great music, and drinks are slightly over priced in my opinion. They have a small separate intimate bar in the back to the left that serves some good beer. They have an outside smoking area for all of you smokers which is great for us non-smokers inside. Guys this is a great place to get some girls as well. I would certainly and plan to take any of my out of town friends here to have fun. Ive had so many good nights here, and many more to come in the future!

I have always loved going here with friends due to the great atmosphere, music and cliental. Hands down one of the best spots in Riverside for nightlife. It is really sad that after I gave my debit card for payment that I received it back burnt as if someone took a lighter to it and I was no longer able to buy a second drink. Never in my life have I ever had my plastic card around a flame. I am honestly blown away and speechless as to how this happened. I am more than willing to give them a second chance but management needs to address this situation as this is more than a huge hassle towards the consumer. That being said, I understand mistakes happen. I truly hope I am the only one that experiences this because most patrons will not be as forgiving as myself.

Was in JAX for a short vacation with a family member and a friend who had relatives in the area. We were in the market for some night life and the other reviews for this place were really good. One thing mentioned by all the other reviews was how crowded the LOFT gets--they werent joking!!! The inside bar isnt very big and because its so popular people are wall to wall. If you can make it to the bar, you wont be disappointed though. The bartenders are fast and the drinks are good for a night club. All the staff were friendly and the place was surprisingly clean (Im used to college bars in Tallahassee). The best part was the mix of music. It attracted a diverse crowd from mid 20s to early 40s.

It always smells funny in here! But if youre looking for a club rather than a bar in Riverside this is the place for you. They play popular dance music and have old school videos playing on projectors on the wall. I love the layout and atmosphere of this place. Theres several parts to this club which is nice if your with a group and want a little space you dont have to be in the crowded main area.

The dancefloor is way too small. If they didnt plop the bar smack dab in the middle of the place, thered be a lot more space to dance and get around! Furthermore, the sewer will sometimes back up and cause a pungent smell of feces to permeate the greater bathroom area. To my dismay, the LOFT seems to be the go-to option in Riverside for "clubbing." I sure do miss the West Coast scene!

It was a fun nightclub. Really crowded and the mens bathroom toilet was disgusting (but what else would you expect at a nigtclub on a Saturday nighy). I like the old TV shows on the big screens. DJs are good, as well as the drinks. Id recommend this place if youre looking for a good Riverside bar.

The place gets packed. Expect staying in line for a few minutes during the peak hours on Friday and Saturday nights as the bouncers only let people in as others leave because they reach capacity. Friendly and quick staff. Love the atmosphere.

Looking for a dance venue to shake off the day? Well look no further than the popular riverside destination. 2 internal bars and a fantastic DJ on Thursday nights. Weekend be warned its packed out to the street.

Average drinks, and atmosphere. Kicked me out since they consufused me with another person. Would never come back given the hostel way I was treated for being in the wrong time at the wrong place.

Angie Villavicencio

Pretty cool spot, good music . But honestly the music doesnt get real good until about 11:30 or so. I went on a Friday night! It gets packed and at times there was a long line to get in !

Larry Hutchinson

Great atmosphere Kool people the only problem I can say there is that you cant go every weekend because if your like me youll notice they play the same songs every weekend

A chill spot but one of the security guys there tried to kick a friend of mine out because he was talking to a girl he wanted but she didnt want his cock blocking a**.

If looking for EDM you will be EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LOFT. Jacksonville dance clubs as a whole are a grave cry from electrifying and stimulating.

Rey Recolaso

Long lines to get in and it gets way to packed inside. You cant even dance!!!! Its like volunteering to be packed in a sardine cann in person.

Brandon Berry

They let us out to smoke a cigarette and then told us we had to wait in the entire line to get back in. HORRIBLE. Customer service.

Shannon Williams

Karaoke was bumpin last night. Drinks were a little weak, but the bartender was nice and the atmosphere was killer!

Joshua Engle

Overrated. Gets way too crowded. Drinks arent badly priced. Only place thats like a "club" on King St.

Jeimy R

Great place to dance without a cover charge. The "loft" part is closed off and the bathroom is tiny.

D Jacobs

Cool mixed crowd. Laid back environment. Great drinks and people there looking to have fun.
