21 Best Cocktail Bars in St. Augustine

“We walked in with a hungry, screaming, crying child who was determined to let the whole of St. Augustine know they were unhappy. As a godparent, it’s that 'sweating through your shirt' kind of stress, and we were prepared to apologize and leave immediately.

Instead, the staff at Treylor Park were absolute legends. They didn’t just tolerate the chaos they fixed it. They saw we were struggling, immediately turned on Bluey for the little one, lowered the music, and chilled out the entire environment. It turned a high-stress meltdown into a calm, quiet, and actually enjoyable dinner.

The food came out at lightning speed (which was much appreciated), and the service was some of the best we’ve had. It’s rare to find a place that genuinely has your back when things get loud. Brutally honest: they saved our night. We’ll be back!“

“We had a great time the drinks decor and staff made it so fun !!! We will do this fun evening again !!“

“This place appears child friendly but I went last night with my hubby for a date. Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had in my life. Ceviche app was also chef’s kiss. My husband had the Chicken and Hoecakes dish. Again, 🤯! The desert was okay but everything else including staff were phenomenal. Atmosphere was nice, dim lighting surrounds you in raw architecture with an intimate feel. Drinks were also incredibly good. If you’re on the fence, get off it and go!“

“Reuben waited on me. I tried fajitas, rice, beans, & mojitos. It’s was amazing. 10/10. Clean, stylish, outstanding foods and drinks!!!!“

“Our favorite spot to end the day when visiting St. Augustine! The drinks are great and fairly priced. When you go, make sure to ask to sit in Will’s area. Will has always been our server when there over the past couple of years and actually remembered us a year later after our 1st week there. Maybe we spent a little too many evenings here… Nah!“

“When days are rough and the road is long, take solace in the fact that somewhere far away in st.Augustine Katie is serving drinks to weary souls at trade winds lounge. her drinks are sweet and so is her heart. we felt safe and welcomed with open arms with Katie at trade winds lounge.“

“I have eaten at Piesano's twice, and each time it was awesome! The food is absolutely wonderful - today, my party and I enjoyed a cheese calzone, shrimp scampi, and gorgonzola salad with shrimp. All were excellent. And the service and ambiance are exceptional. It is very quiet and comfortable, and the wait staff are patient and kind and don't mind if you take your time. Not many restaurants are quiet and relaxing these days. The prices are fair, as well, especially considering the high quality of the dishes. Highly recommended!“

“Very nice experience overall. I’m putting 4 stars and not 5 because for such an expensive place, the food should be a little more refined. For example, everything was very salty and the plating was slightly sloppy. Everything tasted good, though. Service was amazing, but the music was terrible. They were playing two kinds of music from different areas and hearing both was a little irritating. Easy fixes.“

“My wife and I came here for our 31st anniversary. A highly rated restaurant. My meal, steak bowl, was very tasty. The steak was tuff. Over cooked I think. My wife had a fish meal. I forget which. She was very disappointed in the taste and quality of her meal. I have NEVER see my wife complain about a meal before. When our waitress (she was great!) Asked how the meal was my wife told her. Later a woman, not a lady, came to our table concerning our dissatisfaction. She seemed to be insulted and left in a huff. Normally a dissatisfied customer is given a discount or a free dessert. Something. Nothing was offered. What should have been an enjoyable dining experience for Saint Augustine residents celebrating their anniversary was left lacking. 🤢“

“The bartender and our server were the highlight of the night! Both extremely knowledgeable, approachable and available. The food was excellent and portions generous. Crispy fries perfectly salted, mussels cooked the right way and all meals hot and quick. We will be back.“

“Great spot for food and then go outside to the back patio and enjoy great music and atmosphere“

“Beautiful sunset views! The tuna was excellent! great atmosphere The bartender was very knowledgeable about wines and had visited the vineyard of the wine choice we made. Good price points on the wine as well as the food. Definitely, will be back. Smiles, D“

“Fantastic food and specialty drinks. We visited as part of our trip to St. Augustine' s, Night of Lights.
Boat Drinks is a bit off the beaten path, but we'll worth going to. Fantastic service, (shout out to Alex).
Char-broiled oysters were delicious. The sauce was exquisite. Peppered Shrimp and Datil Shrimp Sliders were winners.“

“Always a fun and nice time here no matter what time of day or night. Yins rock! 🤘🏻🖤“

“Such a lovely afternoon! My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary this week. We found that The Chatsworth has an afternoon tea, which we always look for on our anniversary trips. We were not disappointed! From the warm welcome, to the lovely room with all types of tea china displayed, we were delighted. We had the afternoon tea, with a delicious assortment of teas and a 3-tiered serving dish. Everything was so thoughtfully set out -- such lovely sandwiches and desserts. We were able to enjoy our time there, without being rushed and just enough attention to what we needed. All the while, the music from "Bridgerton" was playing softly in the background. We highly recommend that you spend an afternoon and indulge!“

“Delicious Every Time! One of our Favorite Places to eat!“

“We always make sure to swing by for a meal when we are in St. Augustine. Food is always great! This time we did almost leave after getting some attitude from the person seating us and it wasn't off to a great start. Glad we stayed because the server we had was awesome and more than made up for it. We will be back!“

“We tried to go into downtown St Augustine, but alas, the traffic was terrific! We decided to head back to our hotel. Along the way just over the bridge we found a great place on the St Augustine marina! Beaches had a very laid back vibe, the staff is very friendly and the service is great, even when under staffed!“

“Great atmosphere, and good breakfast.“
