Wonderful evening delicious food and drinks amazing service wonderful night out with friends

the best Cuban sandwich!! Great service and ambiance difference but super nice. happy hour is fantastic

We had a reservation for Friday night and had dinner inside the speakeasy. The ambiance was perfect. It was quiet with only a few other tables occupied, so it felt intimate and relaxed. Even getting inside was part of the fun since you enter through a hidden bookcase. One of my favorite parts was the drinks. There isn't a cocktail menu in the speakeasy. Instead, the mixologist comes over, asks you a few questions about what you like and don't like, and then makes something specifically for you. We had four drinks between us and every one was completely different. It actually became a little game trying to guess what was in each drink before they told us. The food was great too. They brought out pork rinds to start and those were AMAZING. For tapas we ordered the tequeños, tuna tostada, wings, and Media Noches Bites. Calling the Media Noches "bites" is almost funny because they were HUGE! We definitely ordered more food than we needed and couldn't even finish everything, but we enjoyed all of it. Between the hidden entrance, quiet atmosphere, food, and having drinks made specifically around our tastes, this ended up being one of our favorite experiences in St. Augustine. It wasn't just going somewhere for dinner and drinks. The whole experience was fun from beginning to end and I'd absolutely do it again. read more

Place was amazing! The regular bar area was an eclectic vibe filled with locals. The host and bartenders were all amazing. Now the true experience begins in the speakeasy. Make reservations then enjoy the experience. The decor and vibe was perfect for a sexy date night. The mixologist was on point with his expertise in making the drink selections. Now for the food.....the Latin mixed platter was amazing for two and was a great thing to share on a night out. read more

Odd Birds Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge - Complimentary drink and app - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I was with a group of friends visiting St. Augustine, FL for a week in June. I had heard of Odd Birds from a friend who lives in the area and wanted to check out their speakeasy, Charlotte 33. We made a reservation for a Thursday evening and had a wonderful time. Our mixologist was named Talon; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He started by asking us what we usually like to drink (spirits and flavor profiles). Once we gave him the information he needed, Talon proceeded to make us some amazing cocktails. I absolutely loved mine and could have drank them all night. I tried some of my friends' drinks and they were all excellent as well. We ordered several appetizers to share (guacamole, wings, empanadas, and mojo chicharrones) plus beignets for dessert. Everything was very tasty! Talon came back over to ask us what options we'd like for our second round or drinks, so we all went with something different than the first order. Every cocktail he served us was really good and based on our individual tastes and preferences. I wish I lived in the area because I would go to Odd Birds regularly. The night we were there, they had a secret disco going on in the main dining area which sounded like a fun idea. I loved everything from the drinks, food, and interior decor. The Charlotte 33 Speakeasy area has a pretty atmosphere as well. read more

Absolutely loved the decor and the vibe. This place maybe great for cocktails, but we came here for a late lunch and we found our food to be quite odd. I had the pork tacos. I liked them, but I did not love them. There was just something missing. My side dish was the sweet plantains, and they were so very odd...black, hard, a little crunchy on some edges which I liked, topped with balsamic glaze and crumbly white (cotija?) cheese...a very odd combination. My friends had the shrimp tacos (they were okay), and the Arepa. The Arepa chicken was dry and lacked flavor and the cheese was hard. Nothing was terrible, but also nothing was anything we'd try again. The entrees were just too m "crafty." The service was great, and again, the decor and vibe were super fun. Plenty of parking as well. read more

Odd Birds Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge - Espresso Martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Odd birds was ok. I really liked the funky artsy ambiance the most. The food, a pork arepa(ok), my husband's order, and a tuna tostada I liked it much better than I thought i would and the prior pics did not do justice of the size. Service is just ok. Hard to connect with the server. They have their own parking lot here which is convenient since it's in St Augustine and we came right when they opened for dinner so it was not packed at all. I was excited about this restaurant but I went in circles on the menu & couldn't decide. I'm glad I did order what I did. I was ready to leave for whatever reason, but my husband had ordered before me. I think it was due to waiting for the server a while to get back so I can order. read more

Visiting from Tampa: this place is amazing! The decor is cute and is large. The food was amazing. Ana was so kind and her recommendations were great. I had the Espresso Martini, which the bartender made sure to make it sweeter for me as Ana said I could have them tweak it. The Bartender's Call was a great display. Ours came in a smoky treasure chest and was a play on the Old Fashion. We ordered the Mojo Chicharrones and it was perfect. I can't even explain it. We also ordered the Chicken Avocado Dip. The arepas were so crisp. read more

I loved this place! From the parking lot to the bar area. The bar is beautiful space and the bartender was really nice! I looked on their instagram and I asked the bartender for a pretty drink and she did not dissapoint! I asked for the bartenders choice so I don't remeber what the name of the drink was but it was so refreshing and delious. I got the chefs tacos with chicken which was really good! I would highly recommend! I would love to go back and get another beautiful drink! read more

Cool spot, nice ambiance, good food and good drinks. I was there for a tequila tasting event, held in the speakeasy, which was pretty neat. It's behind the big bookshelves. I had the chicken avocado dip and really enjoyed it. I also had a drink that was very good, took a pic of, but can't recall the name! The bartender may have made it up. The service at the bar was good, and our food came out pretty fast. Overall, cool vibe. read more

We dined in on a reservation. The restaurant was not very busy. We started with the cachapa and guacamole as they were out of tequenos. The cachapa was underwhelming in that it wasn't very crisp though the cheese was melty and delicious. The guacamole was chunky with lots of onion and tomato. Two party members split the parilla grill which was generously sized and all the meat was cooked beautifully. The arepa (with pork) was large and the meat was tender as well as well seasoned. The brussel sprouts were spicy and saucier than they appear on the website. One party member got a tweeting which she said was ginger forward but tasted good. read more

4.25 Yummy food and a great vibe. Only thing to change is that it was pretty warm inside. Inside vibe- great. Clean bathrooms. Service- Wonderful, hostess to server very helpful and friendly. Drinks- very good. Beer, French 75, and two bartenders picks (smoked old fashioned and a gin choice) Food- Started with the Taqueno (warm and cheesy, delicious). Two of us had the stuffed gnocchi (one with chicken and one with shrimp)- both tasty, chicken was super juicy. Curry chicken sandwich- good but honestly not great. A bit dry without the sauce from the bun. Cuban- very very good. Dessert were churros and beignets- warm, soft with a crispiness, served with caramel and chocolate sauce. Will be back, definitely a great and unique experience! read more

Finally made it to Odd Birds after having it saved on Instagram forever! It happened to be a slow night which was a bit of a bummer since we were on a girl's beach weekend and were hoping for more of a lively vibe. Still, I'm so glad we finally got to check this gem out! The decor is just as cute and quirky as it looks online, but the real star of the night was the drinks. We all opted for the bartender's choice, and he absolutely nailed it! Four unique and delicious cocktails, each perfectly crafted to our individual preferences. It was such a fun and personalized experience! Can't wait to come back, hopefully on a busier night to soak in the full vibe! read more

Oddbirds hosted an Edgar Allan Poe event that was so much fun! Traveling actors did a wonderful job of performing 4 different pieces of his works as well as bus and serve 4 different craft cocktails! Each cocktail was a representation of the prose recited and all were wonderful! I did not take pictures of the drinks as the lighting was dark but each was a unique experience! Definitely recommend seeing these performers. Their next stop is Ybor city in Tampa! read more

Honestly it wasn't my favorite. I wanted to like it but for the price the portions could have been better, it seemed like every dish was lacking just one thing to make it great. May give it another try, but I feel it would be only because of the cute decor than the food or drink read more

Creepy vibe. Bad food. It gives a pretentious vibe of trying to be cool but seriously is so not.

Odd birds is one of those spots you need to go to. Their cocktails are so unique and the food is amazing. It's the cutest decor and the service is really good. The appetizer chicharrones and tequenos are absolute fire. We also got the cheesy elote gnocchi and wow just so good. We will be back. read more

Food was good but priced too high. Our friends received their food 5 minutes after we were done eating. The ambience is cool. read more

Really unique place. Outside kind of covered and indoor seating. Very well stocked bar. Menu is small but lots of interesting things to choose from. Started off with a beer. Nothing on draft but plenty of small batch brewery selections to choose from. Appetizer was empanadas. Very good and dipping sauce was really good. Candyce did the odd burger which was loaded with bacon and double patties. Side was black beans and rice. I had the Cuban with the plantains side. Glad I chose that side. Very good and different. Brought the check in a book with past people writing in it. Very unique. Make sure you get a picture in giant bird cage at the entrance. read more

Starting with the food. I ordered the Cachapa, elote gnocchis with chicken and the birria enchiladas. The gnocchis were absolutely amazing -- they were stuffed in the middle, which gave them such a unique and unexpected flavor. The dish overall was insanely good and easily my favorite. Highly recommend it. The Cachapa was tasty but expensive for what it was. But nonetheless still a good item. The barria was a little dry, but aside from that, everything was great. Service was also very fast, which we appreciated. Overall, a really solid spot with standout food. Seating both inside, outside and a bar read more

We loved this place! We booked a 4 p.m. reservation on a Saturday for lunch, but the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, so reservations may not be necessary for lunchtime. The service was incredibly quick. We were seated immediately, and our server came by right away to take our order. Our drinks arrived in under five minutes, and our food followed about 15 minutes later. The staff was fast, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The ambiance was another highlight. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with charming Christmas accents sprinkled throughout. There was so much to look at that our eyes kept wandering around the room. The only downside was that it felt a bit warm and humid inside. We had walked about half a mile to get there in the middle of the day, so it took a while to cool off, and the fans didn't seem to help much. The drinks were fantastic! The drinks we ordered had unique flavors that really captured the essence of Florida. They were tropical, bright, and had a delicious coconut-forward profile. For our meal, we ordered the Parilla for Two for $55, and everything on the platter was so good. We loved every component, with the only minor complaint being that the chorizo was a bit too greasy. Other than that, the portion was generous, flavorful, and definitely enough to satisfy two people. We wanted to try more items from the menu, but the platter filled us up completely. We truly enjoyed everything we tried at Odd Birds and would love to return. They also have a speakeasy, which we plan to check out on our next visit! read more

This was such a cool and vibey speakeasy! After dinner we went here and I loved it, such chill vibes and great way to relax after dinner. Not many people in the speakeasy because I think everyone was outside of it at the bar and dancing but that's okay! The vibes were great and our server-Bob was awesome! He was familiar with Gainesville and said he knows the owners of blue Highway pizza in tioga so that was cool to hear. Bob did his thing with the mixing and curating of my drinks. First one was an expresso martini and my second one was lychee martini and BOTH were great! I definitely enjoyed the experience and I definitely want to come back! So fun to actually get drinks curated based on what you like or what you're feeling-very cool experience! Highly recommend this place! My friend made reservations so good to know if you want to check out the speakeasy part! read more

Odd birds was decked out Christmas decorations and nice ambient lighting. I love the outside patio area, perfect to sit in in this Florida weather. The inside was a nice speakeasy atmosphere, with a dimmer lighting and pretty lights. I really enjoyed my chi chi cocktail, I ordered 2! The espresso martini was good as well. I ordered the beef empanadas and Yuka frittas, and they filled me up. I will say the empanadas were pretty juicy/oily, but still delicious. The service was very friendly but at a busier time of night where we had to wait a bit for our food and drinks to come out; we didn't mind since we were there to take our time anyway. I'd definitely come here again! read more

The good: The check books were old books that people were writing messages in which was adorable and the food was pretty good! The bad: I would not recommend coming here if you're NOT planning on drinking. The restaurant was quirky inside and half empty, yet it still took us 50 minutes to get our meals and our server forgot our appetizer(?). She claimed another server grabbed it from the window thinking it was for her table (yes i know this happens sometimes), but our server said the kitchen didn't tell her until our food was ready 50 minutes later? I don't know what kind of server just doesn't check on food for their table, especially when the restaurant is not busy and their food is taking a while. She also forgot to bring out drink refills after she noticed and offered to bring out another coke. The water pitcher also sat empty for a while as she was no where to be seen for periods of time. Very disappointing as some people at the table were only drinking water and one bottle was only enough to fill all of our TINY glasses once. And that's not even the best part!!! (sarcasm) The ceiling fan BROKE during our time there! Yes, you read that right. An arm of the ceiling fan broke off and smacked into the table it was above. Thankfully, the guests who were sitting there had left minutes before and no one was hurt but I feel like that could've seriously injured someone and not really sure how that even happened? Probably not the restaurants fault (maybe bad construction or cutting corners or just a complete defect), but that was definitely the cherry on top of the experience here. read more

Love the location on Anastasia. The food is always top notch. They staff is always super nice and helpful, we had reservations one time and we running late and they were kind enough to hold them for us. They are also pet friendly and have a nice covered patio if you are dinning with your dog, which we have also done. The birria quesadilla and tequenos are my favorite dishes. The speakeasy in the back also has a very cool vibe and the bartenders will surprise you with drinks based on your alcohol preferences. We recently visited and did the valentines cocktail class. The only negative about this experience was that our class was delayed by 30 minutes because the prior class ran over. We also didn't realize we wouldn't get a choice on the food and that it was a prearranged 5 course meal, but the food was still amazing and we enjoyed it. Our bartender was super nice and entertaining. All of his drinks were excellent. It was also neat to go behind the bar and make our own cocktails. read more
