Ponte Vedra Beach, by the ember glow
Rum & Thatch is a free social club for the tiki, rum, and cigar crowd in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Our Ember Nights — a slow evening at a great cigar lounge, once a month — are made for rooms like the ones out here, and the beach itself hosts our golden-hour Driftwood Socials. Free to join, strictly 21+.
Ponte Vedra sits square between our Jacksonville and St. Augustine gatherings, so members here get the whole Northeast Florida calendar: tiki-bar Mixers to the north and south, sand underfoot at home.
Ember Nights country
Low light, leather chairs, and conversation that outlasts the ash: that's an Ember Night. Ponte Vedra Beach lounges like Island Girl Cigar Bar are exactly the kind of room the format was designed around. No cigar required — plenty of members come for the rum on the shelf and the company.
Trop rock, boat drinks, and the beach
Parrot Heads and Jimmy Buffett fans: a Driftwood Social is a beach hang at golden hour with exotica and island music on the speaker and zero agenda. It is, functionally, your natural habitat. We're not affiliated with any Parrot Head club — we just share a compass heading.
The rest of the calendar
The same free membership covers every gathering in the chapter: monthly Mixers at true tiki bars in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Socials on the sand, and Ember Nights close to home. One community, several cities.
Rooms we’re building the scene around
A working shortlist, not a directory (and not an endorsement deal): the Ponte Vedra Beach rooms we love. See the full Northeast Florida tiki bar guide.
