Downtown Cigar Lounge
Location in the heart of downtown Jacksonville in a 101 year-old historic building. We are home to a diverse selection of premium hand-rolled cigars from various regions and a variety of wines, beers and specialty drinks . DCL is not only about cigars we are also a gallery displaying the artwork of local artists.

Underbelly
Located in the heart of Downtown, in Jacksonville's "Elbow District", Underbelly isn't just a building and a stage where people come to enjoy music. It's much bigger than that. It's not the paint on the walls. It's not the brick, wood, and nails that hold it all together. It's not the lights or the electricity that define it. Underbelly is a garden. A place for people, regardless of who you are or what you do, to just leave it all at the door for a small while. It's a place for humans. People wanting to be just that. Surrounded by others that feel the same to come together for however long it may be, to be here and now - no more, no less. It's a place where the best musicians unite to create moments that exist nowhere else. Isn't that what it is all about? Finding those moments of magic that will stay with you forever? Well, that's what we sell. We sell magic in all sizes. So come with many, come with none, it doesn't matter. Because when you're here, you're home.

Located along the south central City boundary with Chesapeake, Stumpy Lake Natural Area consists of a 278-acre lake with a raised ADA compliant overlook, 174-acre golf course, with approximately 970+ acres of undeveloped, forested land surrounding the lake and 1.65 miles of soft shared-use trails. As a valuable aesthetic resource, the area offers opportunity for passive recreational uses, such as hiking, fishing, bird watching, nature observation and photography. The 1,422-acre property was acquired in 2001 from the City of Norfolk. A canoe/kayak launch is located just after the causeway from Indian River Road near the entrance to the Stumpy Lake Golf Course. Designed for non-motorized vessels, the launch is also fully ADA compliant. There is a small picnic shelter nearby. Parking spaces are available for 12 cars and two trailers.

O'Connor Brewing Co.
The brewery is located at 211 W. 24th Street in the new Railroad district of Norfolk, situated next to the historic Ghent neighborshood and just a mile or two from Downtown. The Tasting Room and Production facility share a 35,000 sq. foot mid-century modern historic building. Free parking is available in their private lot or street parking is free along 24th and 23rd street. O’Connor beer drinkers come from all walks of life, but what brings them together is a love of the small, simple joys in life. The pleasure of being outdoors, relaxing on the beach with friends, having dinner with family after a day of hard work, and of course, enjoying a fresh, flavorful beer. Customers appreciate the O’Connor brand for its approachability and authenticity. They value its independent spirit, that it remains family owned and operated, and its support of the local community. And their loyalty has established it as a mainstay brand with 10 years of sustained success.
