The male server was attentive and competent but my craft beer was poured as a low abv sour and not my Swamphead IPA hazy request, which was switched out quickly. My Prohibition Burger & Egg was seasoned perfectly and the boiled cajun peanuts had a nice unexpected spicy kick. Aside from the tasty eats, the beautiful 1920's themed bar is notably a mixologists dream. Maybe add a true Speak Easy to the place which would be a cool addition. There was a walk thru to a pricey steakhouse, but not hidden so not really a Speak Easy concept if that was the intent.

This means long wait times to sit down at restaurants and long lines if you choose to grab a bite to go. We luckily ended up here while we waited to be called at other places where we had been told the wait times were 1.5-2 hrs. We divided our group of 16 into smaller groups and we were all able to sit down right away. There was live music which went great with the ambience of this place. The service was great. We all tried different dishes and one suggestion would be to include a side with the dishes that don't include it. Recommendations to give a try would be the burger and the buffalo boneless wings. As far as parking goes, we parked in the main garage by the visitor's center and walked the whole day. This place must have been about a 10 min walk from the garage. Keep in mind, this is not a fancy restaurant, but it's good for a quick bite or drink during the day.

And if you're not comfortable with being grabbed by your arm by one of "The Girls!" to be moved out of an obviously overcrowded aisle, DONT GO! Also you will get comforted, dismissed and talked down by what I'm only to assume, was the the owner; lates 50s white woman with white tank and an old cowboy hat & her overly buff older dude! The kicker, I was told, " I must not be from the "area" because folks here are ok with being touched and displaced by "The Girls!". So we left and will never return; told my finance that spot was definitely off our bar crawl for the wedding! Just upsetting that folks still act so pretentious and rude to people they don't even know! I felt targeted both racially and because of my sexual orientation. IT A LOCALS ONLY HANG OUT PERIOD!

There is a good selection of food choices as well as beverage selections throughout the venue! Our seats were in the Pit Area which were a bit tight and not very comfortable but gave great site lines to the stage. The to and from the satellite parking lots went pretty smooth and was a nice way to get to the show. Overall, I would rate the overall experience as a 4.5 stars! Fun place to see a show and will definitely come back from St. Simons Island to see another show! Thanks for a fun evening!

One of my favorite venues that I have EVER been too and I have been to quite a few with my Husband…read more Everyone here is always so darn happy and very quick with getting my answers to the questions that I have when I come here! One thing I love about this venue is their free shuttle system that takes you to your car (which is free parking) during the concerts. The venue is on the smaller side so it feels more intimate for the artists. There are a few areas where seating is obstructed but they do mention that when buying tickets. One tough thing about this venue is the merch line usually tends to get MASSIVE and I have seen people miss a handful of songs while waiting in it if an artist takes the stage. Bathrooms are usually clean but they are scattered around so you may need to hunt for them. Drink prices are pretty reasonable and they usually have a drink of the night that is slightly discounted. They also have a reusable cup that you can bring throughout the night for a couple dollars off refills!

A live band was playing, people were dancing, and there was this great mix of energy that made the whole experience feel effortless and genuine. We kept things simple with drinks. Susan ordered a Jameson Orange, and we went with a Blackberry Jack Daniel's. Both were smooth, refreshing, and perfect for winding down the night. What stood out most was the atmosphere. This is not a polished, trendy bar, it is a true local lounge with personality. The kind of place where people are there to enjoy themselves, not just be seen. Service was quick and friendly, pricing felt fair, and the overall vibe made it easy to stay longer than we planned. We did not try the food this time, but we will be back for it. Between live music, themed nights, and the energy we experienced, Arnold's made a strong impression. If you enjoy live music, dancing, and authentic local spots, this is a great place to check out.

They had a good sized dance floor unfortunately none of us could use it because there was a gentleman there that apparently is a regular, taking up the entire dance floor with his antics and reeked to high heaven. This man's body odor was so bad we had to move tables away from the band. This was my first experience at Arnold's and although I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the waitress, the food and drinks, if this "Kramer" guy is a regular I can't imagine going back. * I don't see how to reply to the owner's response to my review, but the reason is because this is apparently an ongoing problem that management has yet to address. In addition to the smell he takes up the entire dance floor with his antics and jumps at people, which is very uncomfortable And speaking with other patrons at your establishment I am not the only one who feels this way. I gave the review based on my overall experience. As a business owner, I would think this is something you would like to be aware of.

First of all, if you love craft beer, video games/pinball - this place is for you! BUT also.... Grilled Cheese!!!! WOW, literally the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Walking in, the place was packed and you can tell that people loved to hang out there. The bar was easy to access and we were able to get beers pretty quickly. The bartender was super nice and friendly. We got our beers and explored the games. We played a little bit of pinball and basketball. We came back to the bar and were able to sit and order a couple more beers, and of course - try one of their grilled cheeses. They had SO many different combinations. They had an option to create your own but there was no way I'd be able to create something that they hadn't already. We landed on the Philly Grilly..... it was FANTASTIC!!!! The next day when we came back... we just had to order it again lol!! It's on sourdough and it was nice and soft, plenty of meat and cheese inside... and it comes with a bag of potato chips. Just amazing... a MUST place to go if you're in town! Definitely will be back and try some other grilled cheese when we are back in town!

Our highlights include: - The ability to create customized grilled cheese sandwiches with tons of options to choose from.

No excuses. - Many gaming options in multiple rooms. - Being open late enough for us to return for a second visit after an evening concert at the ampitheatre.

This has officially become our go-to hangout every time we're in town. The live music scene here is unbeatable--whether it's a full band, a solo singer, or anything in between, they are always bringing the energy. It honestly feels like the music hub of Old Town St. Augustine. They keep it simple with beer and wine only, but as a wine girl, I was SO happy to see they serve Decoy Cabernet No cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel wine here--thank you!! The atmosphere is what really makes this place special though. The staff is consistently welcoming, and we absolutely adore the bartender Rose--she's the best and makes every visit feel like you're among friends. And speaking of friends... somehow this last trip we ended up chatting with a total stranger who knew a bunch of our friends back home. Small world moment for sure and just adds to that fun, connected vibe this place has. Great music, great people, great wine--what more could you want? We'll be back every single time!

It was on our walk heading to another bar so we popped in to check it out. You have to go up to the bar setup to order, which is fine, but it can be a bit of a wait depending on the crowd. I had a glass of wine and it was a HUGE pour, which is always appreciated for the price when you're downtown here.
