World of Beer in Southpoint has closed its doors again, just a year after reopening. This isn’t just about one gastropub—Jacksonville has seen a wave of beloved breweries and bars shut down recently, from Ragtime Tavern to Seven Bridges. Rising costs, tough locations, and changing habits are making it harder for local spots to survive. For many of us, these places were more than just bars—they were where we gathered with friends and neighbors. What do you think is driving this trend, and can anything be done to save our local favorites? #Food #Jacksonville #CraftBeer
