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.
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.
Named for Catherine Usina, whose oyster roast for Henry Flagler's party in 1900 started a family tradition on the Tolomato River. The Usinas opened Aunt Kate's under the live oaks in 2009, boaters can tie up at the floating dock, and the steamed oysters and pilau are the family recipes.
St. Augustine's only Irish gastropub by its own description, on Spanish Street since 2011 and open until 2 a.m. every night, with a late-night menu and a weekend brunch for late risers.

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.
A cocktail bar in the 1927 ice plant building, with the original crane still on its rails over the bar and a 300-pound block of ice behind it. Fresh-pressed juices and house syrups at the bar, grass-fed burgers and local seafood from the kitchen, no reservations, and open until 2 a.m. on weekends.
Founded by 20 local families in the 1907 FP&L ice plant, the first in Florida to make commercial block ice, where the old ice-can numbers are still visible on the rails during the tour. Bourbon, rum, gin and vodka, with tours and tastings seven days a week.
