Decca Live, a New Concert Venue and Rooftop Bar, Coming Soon to Downtown

A brand new concert venue and rooftop bar concept called Decca Live is getting ready to debut later this year in downtown Jacksonville at 323 E. Bay St.

The new three-story venue and bar is set to open in a part of the historic Hutchinson–Suddath building, according to Jacksonville Business Journal . This is the latest project from Eric Fuller , an entertainment entrepreneur who owns the Miami-based Fuller Entertainment LLC and BLNK CNVS Presents . Fuller has opened several entertainment complexes, including Celine Orlando, Baby Jane in Miami, and now Decca Live, expected to open in late Fall 2024 .

This has been a longtime project for Fuller and his best friend, Evan Rajta , a partner in the project who proposed the idea to Fuller. The two thought this would be a perfect spot for a new venue, considering it sits right along the river, similar to what they’ve done in Tampa and Miami. The project got a boost after the Jacksonville City Council approved a $1.53 million incentives package to help finance Decca Live, which is structured as a forgivable loan. As a result, guests can expect a one-of-a-kind entertainment venue with a separate lounge/rooftop bar that offers a craft cocktail menu.

“For the last few years, my partners and I have been working on something really special for the city of Jacksonville,” Fuller said on his Instagram . “As a UNF grad, I’ve always wanted to bring something impactful back to the city and create something that has the opportunity to be a catalyst for positivity. Music & the arts have the ability to do that and so much more. Our goal is simple: to bring world-class talent to Jacksonville and provide our customers with the best possible experience. Much love to everyone that has had a hand in this project. It has truly been a team effort, can’t wait to hear those first tunes and feel that dance floor shake!”
