ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. – Angie’s opened Thursday at 299 Atlantic Blvd. in Atlantic Beach, the Jacksonville Daily Record reported.
Like the original Angie’s Subs at 1436 Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville Beach, patrons will be surrounded by art, Beaches memorabilia and a few deer heads and other taxidermy.

Owner Ed Malin opened the Atlantic Beach Angie’s in the former T-Dub’s clothing store and speakeasy, a couple of doors down from the former Ragtime Tavern where he tended bar for 10 years.
Restaurant hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday and until midnight Saturday.
He is staying open later to make way for one big change —Angie’s will serve beer and wine.
The bar in the front room was formerly part of Ragtime’s Tap Room. He also pays homage to Ragtime by hanging a picture of the Tap Room the day before it opened in 1990.
The extra hours and the addition of beer and wine will help him pay the higher rent that is demanded for businesses in the area, he told JDR.
It also is why the new location is called Angie’s instead of Angie’s Subs. Malin didn’t think the name “Angie’s Subs” sounded like a place to have a beer.
Angie’s will have the same menu as the original with a few additions. One will be a yellow rice and black bean bowl topped with smoked brisket or chicken or pulled pork.
