Kicker’s, a country music-themed bar with a mechanical bull in the Pablo Station shopping center, is stepping forward.
The city issued a permit July 10 to build-out 7,044-square-feet space for the bar at a project cost of $450,000. The contractor is CE&M Contractors LLC.
The establishment is planned at 14333 Beach Blvd., No. 33. It is northwest of Beach Boulevard and San Pablo Road. The site was previously a LionShare Cowork facility. Big Lots anchors the center.
Plans show a 336-square-foot stage, a 1,340-square-foot dance floor and space for the mechanical bull and bleachers. There is no kitchen but there is a sandwich prep station.
The primary bar will be shaped like a cowboy boot and seat more than 50. There will be a second bar to serve customers inside and on the patio.
Design Cooperative of Jacksonville designed the interior.
Lowe Structure is the structural engineer.
The bar is owned by Robert Tilka, under Works of DIP LLC. Tilka is an experienced bar and entertainment space owner.
He is part of the ServStar Management Group of Jacksonville Beach, which owns and manages several entertainment locations including Pete’s Bar in Neptune Beach, Hoptinger, Surfer The Bar, The Shim Sham Room in Jacksonville Beach and Dos Gatos in Jacksonville, according to its website.
