Be seen making a scene downtown at the July Pool Splash Parties! On Thursday, July 31 there’s a Rooftop Pool Deck party - a pool party without the splash, because swimming in the pool is not allowed. Yes, I know, that sounds a bit odd, but think about this. It’s a party at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel rooftop pool deck, so you can see the whole city from here. That is pretty cool. And admission is free.

Food Specials $1
-Ahi tuna sliders, wasabi truffle Aioli, arugula and tomato
