Stopped here on a whim on the way to downtown St. Augustine to get some cheap food. The chicken tender sandwich was your basic sandwich but it hit the spot. The bar itself was chill, not many people at all. There were a couple slot machines, dart boards, and karaoke on certain nights. Dive bars are my favorite so this was definitely my style.

I just wanted to say this place has the most unfriendly staff I have ever seen. The old guy who was the bar tender almost CUT MY ID BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE WHEN IM 26 and got the id from the DMV you need to manage ur staff better because bar rescue will back in there before you know it or yall will be closed people like yalls staff have no manners and don't care about nobody but their self. If I could give yall tip it is to fire all your employees and start over never had an experience like this in my life

Thought I'd try this place after Bar Rescue had their shot. Well, it looks like the rescue failed miserably. Let's start with being asked to put a credit card on file before ordering anything. Really?? Next, we were informed that only their "fried menu" was available. I wasn't prepared to harden my arteries any more than they were already so my party of four aborted this gamble never to return. What a shame. Great location, lots of history, but substance: ZERO.Reply is laughable! Food hours??? It's a bar/restaurant. Nothing posted about certain hours you served food. And that still doesn't answer why you're the only restaurant that requires people to pre-post a credit card.

I have passed this place for what seems all my life. I grew up in Jacksonville and as a kid traveling US1 to St Augustine I remember passing Arnold's. Well today I went in and was stepped back in time. This bar still has a 1960's feel. This place has a large bar numerous tables and a stage. It was mid afternoon so the crowd was light and the bartender friendly. I learned the building is 52 years old. What a treat to stop in have a cold beer! Thanks for the hospitality!

First time in St. Augustine and we decided to do a local visit to Arnold's. The average price of a meal around town seems to be $20 we found out Arnold's has a Ribeye steak dinner with corn, green beans and a baked potato for $14.99. We made out way in and sat at the bar. The place was pretty full and several people were just drinking and chatting. There was only a couple of people that could serve and it was still great service. We ordered our drinks and we ordered our steak and met some pretty awesome people while waiting on our food. We never have met so many friendly people in our lives. Once our steaks arrived we both were extremely surprised with the size and the flavor of the Ribeyes. We didn't need any sauce and the temp was perfect. Our drinks were always kept full and the company was awesome. This is a local joint and the atmosphere is laid back and fun.

Fantastic place and had a wonderful time. Great Food and Drinks. Friendly service. Waiter named Wolfe was very friendly and attentive. Definitely one of the best places to hangout over the weekend. I would definitely go back.

I have been coming to this establishment since the early 80's . I have had great times. I must say that since the bar sold recently, they had had some "bumps" in the road! I am very disappointed in the recent changes. Curtains...in a bar, well my take on them were extremely drab!! The Gator & bench... too touristy. Home town people have been carrying this place for years! Your bartender on Tuesday 12/26 completely ignored the bar that is nearest to the men's restroom. A friend & myself sat for over 15 minutes NO acknowledgment, not even a look in our direction as I raised my hand to try & get his attention. However, to no prevail.I get that you "the new owners" are trying to bring it up to date, but my oh so HUMBLE opinion is... a bar should have people with personality behind the bar. What was once a fun-loving place is now a hum drum place that customers do not feel welcome. Or at least my friend & I didn't. I won't say I will not be back, but hopefully, the atmosphere will be more welcoming. The face lift you just had done was just that a face-lift. To me, the employees haven't changed nor did they step up their skills! I have been a bartender, and being personable with your customers makes a huge difference in your gratuity.

We couldn't get waited on. 1PM Thursday afternoon. We sat at a high top right in the center. We could hear the bartender saying "I'm only one person". There were maybe 12-15 people at the bar, no tables except us. "One person" should be able to handle that. Better get Bar Rescue back. We won't be back.

Visiting friends and wanted to catch some karaoke. Arnold's has a steak night with karaoke going on every Thursday (regular menu not available that night). I don't eat beef, so I was excited to find out I could order chicken wings. They were quite possibly the best wings I've ever had. They were cooked to perfection and the flavors were on point. I got five mild and five garlic parmesan. One of my friends also opted for wings and got ten lemon pepper. His wings were just as good. Our other meal mates had a steak and a burger, respectively. The ribeye was juicy and tasty. The burger was good, only complaint was toppings were a bit much (thick tomato and lettuce) and there is only one off-brand chardonnay available. The fries were good, as were the other sides. We were very impressed with our server Lauren as well. She was kind and accommodating. We'll be back.

Went here one time when the old owner ran it. The stage was awesome and there was a guy named Fre running the Open Mic. He followed the sign up list and the musicians from the area who showed up were nice and welcoming to a new performer. The food was actually pretty good and drink prices were cheap. Then it was a decent 4 star establishment!Enter NEW OWNER - Cheaped out on everything, cancelled Open Mic, and raised drink prices. This time, which was our last time, there were several creepy drunk young guys fighting each other in front of the front door outside of the establishment, where people go out to smoke. Felt like a totally different crowd goes here now. If you like how I described the changes here and its your idea of fun, then have at it...
