Where timeslows& taps flow

A family-friendly taproom & kitchen in Arlington, Jacksonville — 20 rotating craft taps, a scratch kitchen, and a play corner for the kids.

The Vibe

Come for a pint, stay for the afternoon

  • For the grown-ups

    20 rotating taps, a tidy wine list, and Tuesday trivia. Settle in — the good stuff keeps changing.

  • For the kids

    A dedicated play corner with toys and games, soda floats, and a kids’ menu. Bring the whole crew.

  • Game on

    A loaded board-game shelf and an N64 hooked up and ready. Loser buys the next round.

  • On the screens

    Jags games, the World Cup, college football — the big matches are always on somewhere in the room.

20 Rotating Taps

On Tap

Twenty lines that never sit still. Owner Patrick spent years with Huss Brewing out in Arizona, and he brought that palate home — West Coast beers you don’t usually find in Jacksonville, poured right next to the best of Florida’s local scene.

Hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, a proper Oktoberfest, ciders and seltzers for the non-beer crowd — the board turns over constantly, so there’s always a reason to come back.

Est. 2025 · Arlington

A spot Arlington had been waiting for

Before the taps, there was the grocery business — 21 years of it. Then came a stretch out in Arizona with Huss Brewing Co., where owner Patrick Mulloy fell for the West Coast taproom: unpretentious, family-friendly, the kind of place where a good beer and a great burger pull the whole neighborhood together.

Where time slows & taps flow.

He kept wishing a place like that existed back home. So in 2025 he built one — The Lazy Manatee, in Arlington’s Gazebo Shopping Center. A laid-back taproom and scratch kitchen for the neighborhood he loves, with room at the table for everyone, kids included.
