    I came for a YELP Elite event and was thrilled to try this place. I was surprised and pleased at how crowded it was on a Thursday night. I realized when we entered it was due to Trivia Night! Love it! They have a great Trivia company that they work with and the whole place was involved and having fun. I love their craft beer selections - great beer!

    So glad I decided to stop in! I was just in town for a little bit and had about an hour and a half to check out Ancient City Brewing. The location was very convenient to I-95 and the hotel I was staying in. It's a great brewery and the tasting room was perfect. The bartender was friendly and told me all about their different beers. I ordered a taster flight to start, and then ended up drinking a pint of their Key Lime beer, which tasted almost like a traditional Hefeweizen to me. I walked away with some merch as well. It was a good day!

    They had put on their website that there was a "trivia night" from 7-9pm that's why my friend and I went to this location instead but when we arrived there was no trivia/ anyone playing at all. No food ordering available and the beers were not good at all. Bartender though was friendly and personable. Put two stars in for the cat that was there lol.

    We meandered back through a business park to find Ancient City Brewing and the brightly colored mural on the outside. They have a wonderful patio with picnic tables and a garage-type seating area & inside you will find a reprieve from the heat in both a spacious, air-conditioned tasting room & cold beer. I let John pick the beer- a Coconut Porter (I had actually commented that if I did like beer I would try that one) and I had a bottle of water. I love the swing doors leading to the back with their logo on it and looked at their merchandise area. The young lady serving was very nice and had a few other customers at the bar and a couple playing darts while sipping their beers. The place had a very relaxed atmosphere and the patrons at the bar seemed to be regulars. It made me miss where we used to live before Jacksonville- we were regulars at a local brewery and the owners knew us by name. Reminiscing is a plus for any place new! I loved the laid back vibe and will put this on our list of places to stop anytime we are out on day trip. Being right off the interstate provides a welcome break. And of course- the downtown location is on our radar too for a cool place to dip in anytime we are downtown.

    Went to this brewery yesterday afternoon and was greeted by a friendly bartender and atmosphere. They have around 10-12 different beer options with varying tastes but I chose the Diamant IPA and it was very nice. We played a round of cricket on one of their 2 dartboards and just hung out with a couple friends to chat it up before catching some late lunch in St. Augustine. The furniture is very nice and the bathrooms were kept clean. I would definitely come back.

    This ain't bad

    Hey, things change and so does the beer board. The new nitro stout (name TBD) is phenomenal. Toasty, creamy and smooth...it's the best beer I've had here in a long time. Stop in for no other reason.

    Key points for visiting ACB..The door with the logo is the front door,If you wonder into the open garage door that's where the brewers chill .There's a cool cat named Galleon who wonders around relaxing and soaking up all love.There are plenty of board games to keep you entertained if the beer, music, people and cat bore you

    I don't know where to start! So since the trip up to St. Augustine takes us over 5 hours, we decide to stay at a cheaper hotel than where we have reservations the night before up there. We only stay at a certain inn in the historical district when we visit so we do this to save some money. This inn includes a social hour that has been featuring Ancient City beers the last couple times we were there. I said we have to go to the brewery and this trip we finally made it. This place is in the middle of an industrial area and I'm glad we drove instead of walking because it was a way away from where we were staying. There is a huge open area inside, which the giant gates were open to from the outside. There were tables and the tanks all around the perimeter. We finally figured the door to get inside lol. The bartender was there with her significant other and their dog, along with a couple who were customers. Any time I see dogs at a business, I'm immediately happy. I started with the coconut porter and hubby had IPA the whole night. It was really good and when I made a comment about not tasting the coconut, the bartender said they use coconut oils, not the actual fruit. I still liked it. I then had the watermelon ale. It was good but not super amazing. You can taste a hint of melon but not overpowering. I chose the bourbon barrel beer for my finale. OMG!!!! It was double the price as the other beers ($10) and higher %. I sipped it slowly but I still felt it a little after. It was one of the best beers I have had in a really long time. We brought a growler we had at home from another place in anticipation of purchasing their beer. We were planning to come back on our way back home so the beer would be fresh but they are closed on Mondays. The bartender referred us to their other location in town that is just the bar but were told they don't have all the beers the brewery does. We didn't have time to stop anyway. There were these workers that showed up around midnight who sat at another table outside and were cool. They helped the bartender with closing and carried the picnic tables inside at the end of the night. Another welcoming factor. Hubby helped them with the table we got up from. We purchased some koozies, a shirt, and a sweatshirt as well. The bartenders enrolled me in their rewards program, which I believe is for every 10 beers you buy, you get one free. Not bad! I really enjoyed everything about this place and I am already putting this on my itinerary for when we return for NYE.

    Great time with my wife.

    This is a fun spot to hang out and meet new friends. Ancient City has a large selections of beer, dart boards, and a few TVs for gMe days. The only downside was that the inside had a slight musty aroma. Other than that, it's a brew house, so drink up. But don't drive drunk!!

    Rocking out with beer!

    When visiting family in Saint Augustine we always make sure to visit Ancient City Brewing! They have the best craft beer in town! Besides crafting beer since 2014, it's also a great place to hang listening to local music and play pool. Sometimes they have food trucks as well. Love that it's five minutes from my in-laws. Next time you are in Saint Augustine, go where the locals drink!

    This place is awesome, but they also have a much more conveniently located brewing room downtown! Either way, staff was hella friendly and I did a flight: I tried the IPA, the Hefe, the Dunkel, and the Black Cherry Ale. I loved them all, and the Dunkel was my favorite. Black cherry ale was actually awesome too. I tried some of my friends flight, and he had the Coco Port, Coco Stout, Victory Amber, and an Orange Ale. The Coco stout was bomb AF. This place also had darts and lots of TVs, so def a chill day drinking spot. Pros: Flights Darts Ambiance Price Cons: Far away from the center of town

    Golden ale!

    This place is super low key and a bit away from everything else in saint Augustine. Went here with my boyfriend and really enjoyed some of the beers that were offered including a peach ale. Yum! The bartender was also really nice but there is a reason that this review is 3 stars. We came at around 2 on a weekend and we were there with just a couple other customers. A brewer came in and had made a comment very loudly where it could clearly be heard about how loud and obnoxious we were being and how it's supposed to be quiet during that time of day. The space is very small and with few people , anyone can hear anyone. We were not loud, not obnoxious. Just two people casually talking in a bar and ever communicating with the man a few seats down. Casual conversation. Because of this, my boyfriend says they have lost his business. It was just rude and Unnecessary.

    Ask the Community - Ancient City Brewing

    Is this the kind of brewhouse where we can bring our kids (ages 3.5-8) and they can run around and play outside while we sit at a nearby picnic table and enjoy a beer or two?

    Yes. There are picnic tables in a covered area of the brewery that is open to the parking area. There is a grassy area with picnic tables out in the open as well, also looking out on the parking area.

One of the coolest touches? A TV disguised as a piece of art that's actually a live stream of downtown St. Augustine. Such a fun, unique detail! Now let's talk food I ordered the shrimp and grits tacos, and WOW--they were packed with flavor. The grits added this unexpected crunch that worked so well with the shrimp. The textures blended perfectly and made every bite interesting. My husband went for the Miyagi beef tacos... and let's just say there were zero leftovers. He cleaned his plate, which says everything. Great vibes, creative food, and a memorable experience all around. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.

Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back.

We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates!
