Bars & Nightlife in St. Augustine
When darkness falls on the Oldest City, the colonial lanes glow with lamplight — bayfront martini bars, taverns that have poured for generations, and live music drifting from under ancient oaks.
Know Before You Go
A few ground rules will keep your night in the Oldest City running smoothly — including one big difference from other historic Southern cities you may have visited.
Bayfront Icon · Martinis With a View
The Tini Martini Bar
24 Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, FL 32084 · at the Casablanca Inn
The essential St. Augustine bar — a porch full of martini drinkers watching the bayfront glide by, with the shaker left at your table for the extra pours. Lines form early on weekends and during Nights of Lights; the view is worth every minute of the wait.
HoursDaily, morning until 11pm or later
Craft Cocktails · 1927 Ice Plant
Ice Plant Bar
110 Riberia Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
Serious craft cocktails built with hand-cut ice in a stunning restored 1927 ice plant — industrial bones, vintage glassware, and a kitchen good enough to make it dinner. Sharing the building with a working distillery, it's the cocktail destination of the city.
HoursDaily, lunch until midnight; later on weekends
Pub in a Historic House · Famously Haunted
Scarlett O'Hara's
70 Hypolita Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
A sprawling pub in an 1879 wooden house with porches, multiple bars, and one of the city's best-known hauntings: the upstairs "Ghost Bar" is said to be home to the original owner, who legend says drowned in his own bathtub on the spot. Drinks until 2am, spirits of both kinds.
TipHead upstairs to the Ghost Bar and ask the bartender about the resident
The Oldest Lounge in the Oldest City · Live Music Nightly
Trade Winds Lounge
124 Charlotte Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
A gloriously unpolished institution pouring since the 1960s, with live bands every single night, free popcorn, cheap drinks, and a dance floor that fills with locals and visitors alike. The genuine article — no velvet ropes, just rock and roll until 2am.
HoursDaily, 11am–2am
Gastropub · Live Music · St. George Street
Prohibition Kitchen
119 St. George Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
A big, buzzing speakeasy-styled gastropub right on the pedestrian quarter — craft cocktails, an excellent burger, famous deviled eggs, and live music most nights. The easiest great night out in the heart of the old city, open until 1am on weekends.
HoursDaily from 11am; until 1am Fri–Sat
Irish Pub · Bayfront Views
Meehan's Irish Pub
20 Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, FL 32084
Two floors of proper Irish pub on the bayfront — Guinness on draft, house-made Irish cream, shepherd's pie, and water views from the upstairs windows and outdoor bar. Lively without being rowdy, and a perfect rainy-evening refuge.
HoursDaily from 11am; until 12:30am Fri–Sat
Craft Brewery · Lincolnville
Dog Rose Brewing Co.
77 Bridge Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
Lincolnville's neighborhood brewery — house-brewed lagers, IPAs, and seasonals in a big, airy taproom with a beer garden, food truck, games, and regular live music. A relaxed local counterpoint to the downtown bustle, a short walk south of King Street.
HoursDaily from noon; until midnight Fri–Sat
Craft Cocktails · Latin Kitchen · Anastasia
Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen
200 Anastasia Boulevard, St. Augustine, FL 32080
An eclectic cocktail lounge just over the Bridge of Lions, where the bartenders build custom drinks to your taste and the kitchen turns out cachapas, arepas, and one of the best burgers in town. Late hours, big personality, and a hidden speakeasy room for private events.
HoursNightly until midnight; later Fri–Sat
Colonial Oak Music Park
21 St. George Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084
An open-air stage tucked beneath a massive live oak in the heart of the colonial quarter, with two bars and frequent free shows — tribute bands, country, rock, and everything between. Easy to miss, impossible to forget once you've spent an evening under that canopy.
The St. Augustine Amphitheatre
1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL 32080
One of Florida's best concert venues — a beautiful open-air amphitheatre beneath the oaks on Anastasia Island, drawing national touring acts year-round, plus a free Saturday farmers market with live music. Check the calendar before your trip; a show here is worth planning around.
