Unfortunately they stopped brewing their own beer, but you can still enjoy the great food they've always had. I love the bar downstairs, the counter is made with copper from the fermentation kettles.

Really liked this place. It is a little more expensive that what I was expecting, but it's a great value for what you get. Really good food and service. A great spot to check out when you're downtown!

Right on the corner by the lion bridge, lots to-see, drink , & eat ! A real fun place with loads of character. Ask your server what "oddities" are in the earth floor under the establishment !!!

The salmon florentine special was amazing. Great atmosphere and service. They stopped brewing their own root beer, but they serve IBC in a bottle, and it's good.

Had some decent cocktails and the Mahi sandwich with fries. Try the crab dip and fried alligator if on the menu as apps. Note: they no longer brew their own beer due to lease restrictions

Good spot to bring visitors from out of town, especially if you can sit upstairs outside. Decent drink menu and lots of good food. For appetizers get the nachos, quesadilla, or risotto tots.

This place has a great selection of their own craft beers. The food was good as well. I know downtown St. Augustine is a busy place but it felt very loud and congested.

Great brewpub in historic St. Augustine! Try the Porpoise Point IPA if you like beers with citrusy hops, or else look to see what seasonal beers are on tap. Read more

Downstairs bar was really busy but upstairs had some available seating. Great selection of their own brews plus some domestics. Really good prices for a microbrewery!

Skip the beer and cheese soup and order the blue crab dip and Kobe sliders for a tasty, filling meal. Also fried custard FTW !

The view from the upstairs porch is worth it alone, but the food is always great. They also have a good bar.

The lobster and shrimp tacos were tasty and zesty. The blue crab cheese dip was an explosion in your mouth😃😃
Dulcinea Cuellar KimreyApril 21, 2013
Order the blue cheese homemade potato chips. They also add bacon and scallions which makes the dish even more awesome.

Sat at the bar - food drinks and we had the Blue crab and Artichoke dip - delicious!
Allison Richter FreilichJune 23, 2011
Excellent blue crab dip and lobster/shrimp tacos! Specialty drinks ate $5 during happy hour- the sangria margarita and Bellini martini were both really good

Crab an shrimp spring rolls are amazing, as is the Kobe beef burger! Great views too!
Peter RoeMarch 29, 2010
Blue crab dip tastes kind of like a yummy tuna melt. Ale cheese soup and goat cheese spinach salad are great. Awesome bread pudding too (feeds two people easily). Red Brick Ale is the best beer.
David LubinMay 7, 2017
Good beers; nice seafood choices...loved the spicy jambalaya and risotto tots
Jenna CunninghamJune 1, 2013
The cheese soup is a must have!!! And try the sample of all of the beers...great deal for the money.
Matt PolowykFebruary 24, 2013
Try the saison, srange stout, and the brown ale ale are all awesome
Justeen KellerJune 14, 2013
Try the crab BLT with the spicy slaw. Super good! Will definitely try this place again.
Josh RichardJuly 6, 2010
Try the Bread Pudding or the Key Lime Cheesecake!! The bread pudding is the best I've ever come across, and the cheesecake is to DIE for!! All at a very reasonable price!

The fried salmon wasn't bad. I've never had it fried before. Nice waterfront views
