I have been a patron of a trade Winds for 15 years. Recently the level of night service has changed dramatically. I would rate much higher for the afternoon and early evening customer service experience. We had a table of 8 ordering drinks, enjoying music and anticipating our favorite band Blister. When the late evening staff changed - not only was the women server rude but our table was literally ignored after we settled the tabs for the people who were leaving before Blister started their set. 4 of us remained at our table with NO contact or service. When I went to the bar to order for our table I might as well have been invisible! We literally did not receive any service at our table or at the bar during the set for Blister. Music was amazing - customer service horrible!!!

We stopped in to watch the live music, which was awesome! Both guys were great, we enjoyed their guitar riffing and improv.The first round of drinks was great! We had a buy one get one for the second round because we bought a pint glass and the waitress / bartender was rude when we ordered. When we got our drinks, there was NO alcohol in the margarita, it was just straight sour mix.Overall, great music, but bad service. (From one waitress, the other bartender and waitress seemed great and were friendly!)

The live band was awesome! The male bartender excellent. The female one was a nasty one. She made the wrong drink and then began using the F bomb on me. The male bartender was polite and apologized and fixed it. She then threw out my boyfriend’s drink when he went to the bathroom. I initially asked her very politely to pour him another drink and it was his birthday. Again, she got this attitude. I’m not sure why this place would hire a person like this who clearly doesn’t like her job. We go out to enjoy and have fun— not to be made feel bad when they make a drink wrong and then throw one out. All she had to do was be polite and fix it. WORST service ever in my life from a nasty bartender. If I was management, she would be FIRED. I would give this a five star rating for the band atmosphere and the male bartender but the nasty attitude bartender who clearly hates her job brings it down to a 1 star.

Staff was really rude from the moment we walked in. Bartender did not want to take our individual orders when there were only a few other people at the bar and was very dismissive. Other staff was very unwelcoming and confrontational for not tipping because the service was bad. Yelled at us to move when could have easily said excuse me. Will not be coming back due to the rude workers.

I don’t get the rave about this place. I took my wife to St Augustine and this was the first establishment we stopped in. As a Latina, she was the only non-white person in the whole place and it just felt a little weird. It’s crowded. You have to squeeze through the chairs to get through the room. The bathroom was two urinals right next to each other so close a guy almost peed on my shoes and the door opens and the whole place can see you standing there trying to urinate. Not very welcoming staff. After we left this venue and saw the rest of the town my wife said that truly is a bad representation of everything else that St Augustine has to offer.Kid-friendliness: Not kid-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Not so much. It’s very crowded.
Music and atmosphere is great, but the servers are extremely rude. The one with the dark hair looked like her head was going to explode when I just tried to order a drink. My wife and I go out to many bars and restaurants in St. Augustine, and I've never seen anything quite like it. Surely, you can find servers who know how to treat customers. Will not be back or recommend to anyone.

No food, no menus I don't understand. If you want to be a successful bar/ restaurant , please accommodate to the customers needs. Enjoyed the live music and customer service but no menus... No good.
