A gluten-free bakery on San Marco Avenue whose baked goods are organic, dairy-free and naturally sweetened, with coffee, wellness lattes and toast alongside. Every purchase sends a donation to organizations fighting hunger in the city, and seating is a few tables, so plan on taking it with you.
St. Augustine's oldest Irish pub by its own count, open since 1992 in an 1878 family home by the Old City Gate. Owner Kelli Meacham spent 16 years as a county deputy before buying it, the porch is where the regulars people-watch, and it goes 21 and over after 7 p.m.
Go early. It turns into a late-night spot later in the evening.
Argentine live-fire cooking from husband and wife Nick and Christie Carrera, on the San Sebastian River where the shrimp boats dock, MICHELIN Recommended in 2026. This is the original room; a second Asado Life has since opened in Jacksonville.
A self-serve tap house and sports bar just south of the City Gate on St. George Street. Its Instagram bio says 13 TVs to watch your fav teams, and recent posts promote college football game days.

A Lincolnville brewery since October 2017, brewing German-style hefeweizen and maibock alongside fruited sours and West Coast IPA. The taproom runs 5,000 square feet with a maple bar, shuffleboard and darts, and with A1A Ale Works and Ancient City Brewing both closed, it is one of the few working breweries near downtown.
Jack's has barbecue in the name and on the menu, but locals know it better as a beach bar than a barbecue destination. It is one of the cheaper places to drink near the ocean. The current Visit St. Augustine listing says the kitchen closes at 9 PM while the bar stays open until 2 AM, which tells you which side owns the late shift. The unofficial Jack's rule is simple: if you are still there late, the night has probably done its job. Let somebody else handle the ride home. It has no official website, so the profile remains marked for re-checking.
