What time do bars close in St. Augustine?

Last call in St. Johns County is generally 2 a.m., and most downtown bars serve until then on Friday and Saturday. Many close earlier on weeknights, and brewery taprooms often close between 9 and 11 p.m. Beach bars vary by season. Check hours the day you go, since some places shift schedules between summer and winter.

How many breweries are in St. Augustine and St. Johns County?

Roughly a dozen breweries operate across the county, with the biggest cluster in and near downtown St. Augustine and along US 1, plus taprooms on Anastasia Island, in Palencia, near World Golf Village and in the north county around CR 210 and Nocatee. The number changes as new ones open. Our listings are the current set.

Are St. Augustine breweries kid and dog friendly?

Most taprooms welcome kids and leashed dogs, at least on the patio, during the day and early evening. Some switch to 21 and up after 8 or 9 p.m. or on event nights. Florida rules on dogs apply mainly to places serving food, so policies differ. Call or check the brewery's page before bringing the whole family.

How much does a beer cost in St. Augustine?

A pint of house beer at a local brewery runs about 7 to 9 dollars in 2026, and a flight of four tasters is 12 to 18. Domestic drafts at sports bars are 4 to 6, craft drafts 7 to 9, and cocktails downtown 12 to 16. Rooftop and bayfront bars charge a premium.

Where are the best bars with a view in St. Augustine?

The bayfront along Avenida Menendez has several bars with Matanzas Bay views, a few downtown hotels have rooftop bars with views of the fort and the Bridge of Lions, and Vilano Beach, St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach have oceanfront and Intracoastal bars along A1A. Sunset is the rush, so arrive 45 minutes early or plan on standing.

Can breweries in Florida sell beer to go?

Yes. Florida breweries can fill growlers in 32, 64 and 128 ounce sizes and sell cans and crowlers to go from the taproom. Prices run about 12 to 22 for a 64-ounce growler fill and 5 to 7 per 16-ounce can. Most places will fill a clean growler from another brewery as long as it is the right size and labeled properly.

Bars & Breweries in Northeast Florida

St. Johns County has a real craft beer scene for a county its size, with breweries downtown, along US 1, on Anastasia Island and in the north county plazas, plus a distillery district on the edge of downtown St. Augustine. The bar scene downtown is concentrated around St. George, Hypolita, Spanish and Charlotte Streets, with rooftop and bayfront spots for sunset. Beach bars line A1A at St. Augustine Beach, Vilano and Crescent Beach. The north county, including Nocatee, Julington Creek and Ponte Vedra, leans toward taprooms, sports bars and restaurant bars that close earlier. Bars in St. Johns County generally stop serving at 2 a.m. and many close earlier on weeknights. Rideshare is the safe plan downtown, and parking enforcement does not take the night off.

How to choose a bar & brewery in Northeast Florida

Pick the kind of night
A brewery taproom at 5 p.m. with a food truck and kids running around is a different place from a Hypolita Street bar at midnight. Decide on the crowd and the closing time you want first.
Check the food situation
Many taprooms have no kitchen and rely on food trucks or let you bring food in. Others run full menus. If dinner matters, look at the week's truck schedule or pick a brewpub.
Look at the event calendar
Trivia, bingo, live music, run clubs and release nights change the crowd and the noise. Breweries post weekly schedules on social media. A Tuesday trivia night can be busier than a Friday.
Plan the ride home
Downtown St. Augustine and the beach bars are a rideshare situation after a couple of drinks, and the county enforces DUI hard. Budget 15 to 30 dollars each way from downtown to the north county.
Ask about flights and happy hour
Most breweries pour 4 to 5 ounce flights so you can try several beers for 12 to 18 dollars. Restaurant bars run weekday happy hours from about 3 to 6 p.m. Taprooms often do not, but have cheaper pints to begin with.
