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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!
