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!“

“Had an amazing experience here listening to live music, Sean was my bartender and I cannot say enough great things about his service. The live music with Mark Hunt was so much fun. Would recommend to everyone I know! Local red ale was fantastic!“

“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!“

“Catch 27 was a fantastic experience in St. Augustine. Great vibes from the moment we walked in, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The seafood was absolutely fresh and full of flavor, and you could taste the quality in every bite. Drinks were on point and crafted perfectly. Overall, an excellent dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re in town and looking for great food, great people, and a memorable atmosphere.“

“Had a great afternoon of drinks with the bartender, Curtis, more of a mixologist than bartender. Craft drinks from the menu and off the menu cocktails were exceptional. Food was amazing also, but the cocktails were the best we experienced in St. Augustine. 100% will be back on our next trip. Thanks Curtis and Forgotten Tonic!“

“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. 🤢“

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

“Me and my family really enjoyed this restaurant the vibes were great ! good food & drinks extremely accommodating due to it being cold and us having a infant tag along Plays (the manager) & Issac made sure we were comfortable Zane the man on the drink super good 10/10 highly recommend“

“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!“

“We had such a fun evening at Boat Drinks. We came for the vibe and stayed for the exceptional menu (BEST raw bar in st Augustine with selections from Maine: 3 dozen oysters didnt feel like enough but at a certain point we had to switch gears and get the equally amazing crab Rangoon special and the saucy shrimp with Cuban toast—wow, delicious) ; the exceptional service (friendly, funny, cool bartenders who recommended some other spots to check out) ; and the exceptionally yummy drinks. Joel knows how to rock a spicy marg and a mojito.“

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

“Nice place with delicious food and good drinks, plus amazing view!“

“Great atmosphere, and good breakfast.“

“We were visiting Vilano for the weekend and wanted to eat somewhere local and decided to try this place out. Unfortunately, it had rained quite a bit before we arrived so outdoor seating was not available and that made the inside a little more crowded and noisy. Our wait was not long compared to other places we have visited. I had the fried shrimp basket and my husband had the ribeye steak. My shrimp were good although they seasoning tasted a little like blackened seasoning, which I am not a fan of. The ribeye my husband ordered was cooked to perfection and was a huge steak for the price. I had a Shipwreck drink and it was very good. Good view of the pier and the docks. Inside noisy was a little much but I understand with everyone getting out of the rain this will happen.“
