    Margarita and a Draft
    Dave O.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Loved this divey little bar! Heather is a great bartender. The drinks are strong and inexpensive. Would definitely be coming back when I'm in town.

    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!!!

    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.

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

When I arrived with my pregnant wife and my service dog, he asked somewhat curtly if it was a service dog. After I confirmed and thanked him, he rudely placed the menu on the table, turned around without saying another word or showing any basic courtesy, and just walked away with his back to us. It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.
