Tinsel, Taps and 'Tinis | A new initiative to explore Downtown Jacksonville

Downtown Vision has launched an initiative designed to introduce residents to the most festive bars, restaurants, and venues in the Downtown area, with exciting prizes available for those who visit each location.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This holiday season, keep your spirits lifted in Downtown Jacksonville.

Downtown Vision proudly announced the launch of “Tinsel, Taps and ‘Tinis,” aligning with the release of their 2025 holiday guide.

Between Saturday, Nov. 29, and Dec. 31, those aged 21 and over are invited to dive into the city’s vibrant core and earn rewards along the way.

A total of 10 venues are taking part in this event, earning their place on the Nice list:

  • Bold City Brewery (109 E. Bay St.)
  • Dos Gatos (123 E. Forsyth St.)
  • The Greenhouse & Bar (200 Riverside Ave. Unit 2)
  • Hardwicks Bar (100 E. Adams St.)

  • The Volstead (115 W. Adams St.)

At each participating bar and restaurant, visitors can pick up a holiday stamp card to collect stamps from the staff. For convenience, the card is also available for download online.

After collecting stamps from eight of the stops, you can trade them in for a $25 e-gift card. If you make it to all of them, those 10 stamps will earn you a DTJax swag bag.

A photo of your completed stamp card must be emailed to info@dtjax.com to receive a prize.


The beginning of the event coincides with the city’s first annual Holiday River Fest, which is happening within walking distance of many of the bars.
