The perfect venue for the 21-and-over crowd to unwind watching a ball game, playing pool and enjoying their favorite beverages. Equipped with billiard tables, multiple flat screen televisions, extensive beer and wine lists and residential-style furniture, Eight has a laid back atmosphere and the warm welcoming of a neighborhood pub. Direct TV satellite ensures access to all major sporting events in every season.
The bar's name is a nod to Amelia Island's history as the Isle of Eight Flags, the only place in the country to have been under the rule of eight different regimes since its discovery by the Spanish in 1562. Of course, the number eight has a storied legacy in the world of sports and games as well; it serves as the pivotal target in Eight Ball and has been worn by legendary baseball players Yogi Berra, Carl Yastrzemski, Willie Stargelll and Cal Ripken, Jr.
Eight's menu features classic sports fare, including: burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, chicken wings and nachos. Its signature cocktail, the Eight martini combines eight delicious ingredients.
Eight is open Monday through Friday from 4:00 p.m. to Midnight, and Saturday and Sunday from Noon to Midnight. When games last later, the bar will remain open.
