12 Best Pubs in St. Augustine

“Love this place! Even though I’m not a smoker, they have an awesome cigar selection — and every alcohol drink you can think of! Anytime I’m in downtown St. Augustine, I have to stop in. The outdoor patio is super chill, sometimes with live music, and the staff is always so friendly. Definitely one of my go-to spots in town!“

“Always ask your server where they go after work! This place was the perfect suggestion. We are traveling with a puppy and were welcomed on their patio. The atmosphere was very relaxing and made sense as a local haunt without snubbing the weary tourist. Irish coffee at 11:00 pm? Yes and thank you. Thumbs up to Barley Republic.“

“Went here the first weekend they opened and for lunch to go. The beer selection is good, especially for international beers most places do not have. You HAVE to have the Bavarian Pretzel w/ beer cheese! It is Delicious! Their Hamburgers and fries are also delicious! Next try the fish and chips! I will make this a local haunt.“

“Thanks for having me. I've been to St Augustine a few times and didn't notice this place. Great selection of beers including Belgian Quads!“

“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!“

“My wife and I did our rehearsal dinner at the taberna and they were phenomenal.The food was sneaky good, I would definitely recommend the plantains, the beans, and most importantly the short rib. The bacon wrapped scallops rocked too!Autumn and her team took tremendous care of our whole group. I can’t say thank you enough.“

“Loved! This place. I will return when I come back to Florida next month!“

“We stayed at Market 8 Hotel right next to the restaurant, all in a great location on the west side of the Bridge of Lions. We planned to get takeout from here the first night, and then had reservations to another place the next night. I ordered the wings in mild sauce, and they were addicting. It's been two weeks and I've been craving them since. Crispy, with delicious sauce, and their blue cheese dressing was fantastic. Idk what they add to it, but it was slightly pink. Delicious.
The next night, we didnt feel like getting dressed and going out, so I canceled our reservation, and decided to get Candlelight again. We tried to order online, but there is no way to customize. My husband doesn't eat cheese, so he just wanted a burger with no cheese, but there's no way I found to make that happen. Solution? Call the order in, right? I called in and told the woman who answered that I wanted to place a pickup order, and she asked if I could hold. Sure, I can hold. I held on for a little over 20 minutes. I hung up and tried to call back about 5 times, only getting a busy signal. Only one line?? Idk. So, back to online where we both ordered things we didn't really want. I got the Cobb salad. Large salad, but with small ingredients other than the lettuce. They also put a weird, warm chicken with a melted cheese mix to go on top of the cold salad, packaged separately. It was very strange. Also, for a salad that size, they only give one little container of dressing. So after knowing how their dressing size is, I ordered another 4 dressings for an additional $3 over the price of the salad. If they're selling a large salad, why do I have to pay extra just to get enough dressing to cover it?? I would not order this again. I should have just ordered wings again.
We're going back in September, and I'll stick to the wings, and will bite the bullet and pay for enough dressing, again. But, I won't expect to order over the phone for any of it, especially because it was a Tuesday, which should be an off night. How busy could they have been to forget i was on hold?“
