Breezy Jazz Club will open on the block where Pink Salt Restaurant and Wine Bar will relocate from Brierwood. Breezy Jazz Club, now Downtown at 119 W. Adams St., is moving across the St. Johns River into San Marco where Zeus Pizza vacated. “We really outgrew our current location,” said Thea Jeffers, who founded and owns Breezy, which she established Downtown four years ago. The existing 2,892-squarefoot site seats 100 people and the new 4,450-square-foot location at 1402 San Marco Blvd. will accommodate 155 patrons. Jeffers doesn’t see the move as leaving Downtown, but as growth. Now on the Downtown Northbank, the club will move to the San Marco location near the Southbank. “We are very much vested in Downtown Jax,” she said. “I put a lot of energy into building that.” Her targeted move date is midNovember. The San Marco location has 50 spaces in a parking lot and Breezy will offer valet service. Patrons also can opt for street parking. “What I am bringing is an upscale high-end jazz club and cigar lounge,” she said.
