Whiskey first, jokes second. Burlock and Barrel is a working distillery that makes its own spirits and distills, barrels and bottles them on site. The company got its start in 2013 and set up in Brooklyn, the neighborhood between downtown and Riverside, inside the old Dealers Equipment warehouse. That complex is two masonry buildings from 1925 and 1939, with frontage on May and Magnolia streets.
The Show
The comedy series here is River City Comedy, a stand-up show that has been running on Friday nights with a rotating mix of local and touring comics and a fresh lineup each week. A typical bill runs the classic club order, with a host to open, a feature or a couple of guest sets in the middle, and a headliner to close. If that order is new to you, our guide to your first comedy club night explains who does what.
Before You Go
- The show is 21 and over. Bring an ID.
- The bar pours craft cocktails and the house whiskey.
- Parking is free.
- Lineups and nights can shift, so check your ticket for the night's rules.
Tickets
River City Comedy sells its own tickets online, show by show, so there is no ticket button on this page. The same producers run stand-up nights at other rooms around town, including Buchner's Bierhalle in Murray Hill, Ink Factory Brewing at the beach and Voo Swar in Atlantic Beach.
Good to Know
Brooklyn is a short drive from the downtown theaters, which makes a distillery set an easy add to a bigger night. The Florida Theatre and The Albatross are both a few minutes east. See everything nearby in Downtown Jacksonville.
