Jacksonville / St. Augustine
Northeast Florida
Northeast Florida is our first chapter and the only one currently running. One free membership covers Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, and St. Augustine: Mixers rotate through the tiki and tropical rooms below, Driftwood Socials run up and down the beaches at golden hour, and Ember Nights settle into the cigar lounges out toward Ponte Vedra.
This is the market that is running right now. Gatherings are free, monthly, and 21+, and the rooms below are where they happen or where we want them to happen next.
