The MUSE Bourbon Bar & Grill Review
Stepping into The MUSE Bourbon Bar & Grill feels like discovering a well-kept local secret — the kind of place that balances a lively, music-driven atmosphere with surprisingly thoughtful food and drink choices. Located on San Jose Boulevard in Jacksonville, the MUSE immediately strikes you as a gathering spot for friends, date nights, and small celebrations; the website lists the address and contact details clearly, and it’s easy to see they welcome reservations, events, and group bookings.

The interior blends exposed-brick comfort with playful, art-forward touches — murals, pop art, and eclectic decor that give the room personality without feeling kitschy. A prominent bar anchors the space, surrounded by high-top seating and an open floor plan that makes it easy to catch the live music without feeling cramped. During my visit the sound was lively but not overpowering, and the staff managed the ebb and flow of the crowd with friendly efficiency. The site’s photo gallery and atmosphere descriptions paint a consistent picture of a venue built around music and good times. (musebourbonbar.com)
Where The MUSE really shines is in the combination of comfort-driven dishes and a drinks program that leans toward cocktails and bourbons but keeps things approachable. Menu highlights include hearty sandwiches, well-executed burgers, and shareable plates; the wings are a local favorite and appear prominently in weekend specials, which makes the bar a go-to for casual weekend outings. Cocktails arrive balanced and visually appealing, and the bourbon selection — as you’d expect from a place with “Bourbon Bar” in its name — offers a range for both newcomers and enthusiasts. The website’s menu section and gallery give a solid preview of what to expect on the plate and in the glass. (musebourbonbar.com)
Events are a core part of the MUSE experience: the calendar is packed with weekly recurring nights (karaoke, trivia, poker), themed specials like “Boots & Bourbon” line dancing, and frequent live bands and tribute acts. They also host monthlies and special holiday events — the web listings include ticketed New Year’s celebrations and previews of upcoming acts — which makes the bar a versatile spot for both intimate nights and bigger celebrations. For anyone planning a private party or group event, their events and catering packages are promoted as turnkey, which is great for stress-free planning. Reservations and tickets can be handled through the site. (musebourbonbar.com)
In short, The MUSE Bourbon Bar & Grill is a reliably fun destination in Jacksonville: warm and energetic, with solid comfort food, thoughtful cocktails, and a steady rotation of live entertainment that keeps returning visits interesting. If you’re looking for a friendly local bar with personality, live music, and menu options that satisfy a crowd, it’s well worth a stop — whether for wing specials on the weekend, a themed weekly night, or a special event with friends.
