Place was packed we had 5 people saw a table open and grabbed it - had a snide remark by bartender/waitress because table wasn't cleaned yet, we told her we had 3 more people and 3 times she insisted we give her a drink order - then the rest of the party shows up and she never comes back to the table we took the 2 beers that she made us order left them on the bar untouched and walked out! Don't get nasty with your customers bad business read more

When we arrived at St. George Tavern it was packed. We got lucky as when we got there one of the tables opened up so we ran to grab it. The server kindly requested we wait while she buses/cleans the table. It seemed like that server (Heather, I think?) was the busser, server, and bartender for the whole restaurant. I saw only one other person working there, which I believe was the cook. With a packed restaurant, Heather was still able to provide us good service. Unfortunately, the place needs a deep cleaning as exhibited by the insanely dusty chandelier pictured. My burger was pretty good, but the queso con carne was essentially super-greasy chili with cheese on top. There are plenty of other bars/restaurants to choose from, this one wasn't it for me. read more

St George Tavern - Dusty chandelier - Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I crossed the threshold of this bar out of the bright sunshine into this almost dark alley like setting, as my eyes adjusted I could see a few empty bar stools on the left across from the almost empty row of booths. We opted for the bar near the back of this narrow venue, the bar top was sticky but was quickly wiped down after we were seated. I'd love to see the interior fully lit but I doubt that would ever happen the darkness conceals things I probably wouldn't want to see anyway - it's seems there's a lifetime of clutter behind the bar with a narrow space for the bartenders to maneuver. The bartender wasn't overly friendly but somewhat efficient in her routine, I'm sure she's seen it all and was somewhat robotic in her greeting and drink recommendations, we ordered a margarita and a draft. The beer was served in a warm glass stacked on the bar back so the end result was a little disappointing - the margarita salt was adhered to the rim with some kind of unidentifiable syrupy substance that was gross and unappealing. Despite all of the disappointment this is a very nostalgic bar and people flock here for that apparently, it's definitely one you should visit if you're doing the St. George Street bar crawl but I'd stick to a shot of whiskey or tequila if I were to do it again. We ran into a couple we met at an earlier establishment and they were chowing on melts, their theory was the food was delicious but you need to over look some of the good housekeeping practices I guess hot grease and alcohol are somewhat preventative sanitary measures. Hey it is what it is and it was something I wanted to experience so they get a reluctant thumps up from me - I'm sure if you come here with a few friends to party and are less observant it may be a completely different experience so by no means is it a place to avoid... read more

St. George Tavern is touted.as "the oldest pub in the oldest city (in the U.S.). Don't imagine Spanish settlers sitting down here for pitchers of sangria or glasses of wine. It's not really that old. It was established in 1941. Still, it's a cool dive bar to drop into and get a cold beer at a reasonable price. Keep in mind, it is a bar where smoking is allowed but the service is friendly and fairly quick. A cool place to visit if you're into dive bars. read more

We had an amazing time visit Saint Augustine's historic District. We walked into St. George's Tavern, And found ourselves very welcomed on our mother daughter trip. We were given recommendations to other local places. We met get people and had amazing service and delicious drink drinks! read more

The smash burger was fantastic. Cool little bar. Highly recommend. Didn't bother me at all but the bartender had a heavy pour

Just popped in for a few beers while we were visiting the area. The Tavern is an old-school staple of St Augustine, and it just felt like an old worn coat. It was seasoned, but provided the tavern basics you would expect. What it lacked in modernity, it more than made up for in that vibe great old taverns put out. Great crowd and a fun time. read more

So St George Tavern appears to be that spot for locals and tourist. I love this kinda place. It is old and it is seedy and my heart beats at the very thought of this kinda bar. Today we were one and done but we will see you again! Thanks for the air condition and an ice cold brew. See you soon! read more

All of Saint Agustin is great was down for the Billy Strings concert this pub was gret

Visiting St. Augustine is always a treat! We stopped in on a beautiful Tuesday morning to check out this quaint bar. it was one of the oldest bars in STA. Because it was so early in the morning, we only had club sodas, but we spied a fried bologna sandwich, and decided to order one to share. We took it with us and headed to the beach. By the time we got around to eating our sandwich, it was cold, but let me tell you it was absolutely delicious! I can only imagine what it would've been like had we eaten it right away. We definitely will be back, and this time it will be eaten hotttt! read more

Tony and I stopped at St George's Street Tavern in St Augustine Florida. This was our favorite dive bar in St Augustine. It was a little dark inside, cool from the heat and crowded, but nice. The bartender was friendly. Tony was happy because he finally found Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. I ordered Brewed Iced Tea which was very good!! Definitely would go back!!! read more

This is by far the worst bar ever. If you are not a local expect to be treated like crap. I was waiting in line at the service bar snd some local yelled passed me three times and got serve before I did. He then reached around me to grab menus as I wasn't moving. I finally got my drink and asked the bartender if I was invisible as I clearly have bene standing here waiting. She said no hes a regular and I want on them first... the bar was a mess with dirty glasses everywhere along with bottle of liquor so anyone could grab the bottle and leavem. I will never step foot back I. This place period... good luck w the locals read more

Google said open til 1 but kitchen was closed when we went at 11pm. VERY loud music. Good for the party crowd but not a late night meal.

My husband and I stop here all the time when we are downtown. The drinks are cheap and we always get a to go drink (the only place to get one on Dt. George street) before we leave. A "hole in the wall" place you don't want to pass up!! read more

Bartender and bar crowd was so rude. Could be a fun time..spot but maybe you can get the same (or better) experience somewhere is in Saint August read more

Very nice Local Pub vibe. Even as a tourist. Seriously a very strong locals/regulars feel. Simple as that. Apparently, I need to add more words. They had Sierra Nevada Celebration on tap. A major plus for me. read more

This was our favorite spot for drinks during our stay in St. Augustine. We stopped in everyday. Jill the Bartender was great! Strong pours, and very reasonably priced. We didn't have any food, which is served daily until 3pm, but our shuttle bus driver who frequents this spot said the food was delicious. Cannot wait to return to St. Augustine and the Tavern. read more

Best bar in downtown St. Augustine. Guinness on tap and the whiskey is served basically in doubles. Next time I'll get in earlier to try the burgers. Also very well priced, which is hard to find these days! Definitely the coolest dive bar in St. Augustine. read more

This is a dive bar of the highest degree. Nothing fancy here, just good times and tasty shots. It is the type of place that attracts the locals, and that is fine with me. The bartenders are old school, and I have to say that I have missed that attitude in 2020. I mean understandably people in the service industry haven't had much to smile about in 2020, but St. George's Tavern brings the fun in a big way. .. a few beers and a round of peanut butter shots, and I left this joint with a feeling that good times were just around the corner. read more

Amazing tavern great service thank you for the coffee!!!! The staff friendly and very clean facilities. Great spot for people watching and great ambiance read more

I've been here before. It's always pretty crowded. Sometimes-you can't get in or get a seat. I do like the place for a quick drink. You can tell their are some locals that come here in a regular basis. But, that's no problem. I've had interesting conversations with a few of them. The Bartenders are nice. read more

Seems like a local spot. The bartender was being called by name by groups of people. We stopped in for a drink. They had truly on tap which was a first for me I thought it tasted crisper and colder that way. The ambiance is fitting for St George street. Nothing stood out that would draw me back in but maybe that's the point since I am not a local read more

Best spot in town. Zero tolerance for drama or any bs. Great drinks and great people.

Great service, great drinks. Women's bathroom was really clean. Really good prices for the city!

The last 3-4 trips to St. Augustine, we have been here almost every night. We like to sit, drink, and smoke at the same time so this is the place to do that. The drinks are probably the most reasonably priced in the area that I found. The 2 downsides in my opinion, is the place gets packed once people in the biz come in, which is around 11pm. The other is the staff does NOT mess around at closing time. They are kind of rude and I get that. They are used to obnoxious intoxicated people. It does take a while to order drinks. read more

St George Tavern - Love it - Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Reasonably priced drinks and killer sandwiches. We tried the Club and the French Dip, both priced around $10. Small open kitchen right in front. Yeah it's a total dive bar but exceeds expectations. Our bartender was Jill who is a little sassy but in a good way. read more

Back open and better than ever.. great lunch and drinks in old st Augustine. Incredible sandwichs and drinks. Let's get back to it! read more

St George Tavern - Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The only bar in the area that wasnt closing its doors early on a Wednesday night (10pm). I dont 100% blame the other bars since it was a slow night due to the pandemic, but this bar was packed as a result. They werent enforcing social distancing or requiring pople to wear masks. This would have made me too uncomfortable to stay here but luckily, they offered drinks to go! Since this bar is on st george street it was nice to step outside and sit on an outdoor bench, or walk up and down the street. The drinks were nice and strong and the bartender was pretty friendly. We are in a hotel down the street so we will definitely be frequenting this bar during our stay here. read more

This is a cool, lowkey dive bar in the busy St. George Street area of town. It's a fun place to hang out, the bartenders are cool, there seem to be a lot of locals that hang out, and it's not overly loud. Really the only issue is that it gets crowded enough to where you can't always find a spot! There were two times we tried to go, but since it's smaller place there was just no where to sit and hang out and there's not really enough room for standing either so we had to leave. When we were lucky enough to score a spot, we definitely enjoyed our time here. read more

Great lunch - very unexpected. Had the Cuban and my wife had the burger w/grilled onions and cheese. It was very good.

Atmosphere is great, good for drinks. You order food and drink at the bar, no one checks on you at the table after your food arrives. I wasn't able to eat my patty melt and I wasn't going to take it up to the bar to complain. Wouldn't eat here again. read more

3:30 Pm Terrible experience. If I could give it less than 1 I would. I have brought many out of town guests thru the years. Never again. Bartender was an absolute train wreck.Possibly drunk, which is great if you're a local looking for heavy pours. Unfortunately, I was a guy bringing out of town guests...she immediately started claiming she felt threatened by how I looked at her. Seriously... I can't help how I look... Anyways, I walked up to her to try to make things right and she began to freak out & rally the local barfly's to tell me how I don't belong in there. Once I realized there was no salvaging the situation, We immediately left. What a shame!!! Thanks for a ridiculously unnecessary experience. St. George Tavern YOU SUCK!!! read more

I love dive bars so much but even more the ones that allow indoor smoking. Cheap drinks right in the heart of the Old City with the quirkiest characters around are the perfect recipe for a good time. Open late and a quick walk or a Uber ride away from both the beachside and downtown. Drinks are poured here at lightning speed and the service is incredibly quick despite the crowds they have. I met some cool locals here during a few drinks with the mister and we laughed all night over great conversation. The bathrooms are actually clean which is rare for a dive bar. Many locals gather here as it's the watering hole for many in the area in search of a stiff drink after a long hard day of work. I love bars like this and after a bunch of cheap beers and cigarettes, I hit the sack happy knowing I got my buzz on here and not some sterile bar instead. read more

We walked in because we were recommended by a local.. I can't stress enough that when people aren't sanitary and too close in contact without their masks standing by you while you're eating, is just unhygienic. The drinks were below average and over priced. $8 for a whiskey and ginger ale in a cheap small plastic cup?? The only good thing about this place is the cook can make a mean sandwich melt. read more

Just a classic dive bar, happened to be open late on a Sunday evening when we walked by so we decided to check it out since not much else was open. Good place to grab a table and chat with friends with a cheap well drink in your hand. Played good music!! read more

Nice small pub. The sandwiches were awesome. Fresh, tasty, large portion. Good value snd reasonable price.
