On the corner of 1st Street and Lemon Street, one block from the waves and directly across the street from Neptune Beach City Hall, you’ll find an unassuming one-story building that always looks like it needs some small amount of repair, with an old fashioned neon outline sign hanging over the door displaying the simple moniker, “Pete’s Bar”. A self-proclaimed “Five Star Dive Bar”, this is the place to be when you want to get a sense of what old-school bars can offer. Dark enough to drink, bubbly enough to hold a conversation, this family heirloom has been handed down and remained in the family that keeps “Pete’s Bar” running like a bar ought to.

Our Thoughts on the Pete’s Bar
When we stepped inside, there was a moment of trepidation that we were intruding on a private affair, the bar had been there for so long, and the atmosphere was one of familiar camaraderie, would we belong? Would we be accepted by the locals? The moment the door closed behind us, we knew we needed not worry. The bartender cheerily asked us what we’d have and once that firs beer was poured, we were “Pete’s” regulars.
Happy bar patrons and lively action around the neighborhood, this is everything you want in a community bar, even if you’re from across town. Holidays and events are often celebrated at Pete’s either as the starting point of the festivities, or where everyone ends up hanging out after the day ends. The pool tables are cheap and the jukebox is upgraded, so order up the drinks and pull up a stool, Pete’s Bar maintains the look and feel of the old wooden floor bar while making each and every patron feel welcomed.
