Mill Top Tavern and Listening Room

First time in… didn’t have any food but the drinks were amazing and cheap! Super friendly bartender… super cool AC… live music … great indoor and outdoor seating that looks right over the street. Will definitely revisit!

We were wandering around after arriving in St Augustine looking for somewhere to eat before we could check in to our room. Suddenly we heard some really nice music and followed it to Mill Top Tavern. We climbed the steps to find this almost hidden gem. We came because of the music (Jim Lamb) but the food was excellent. I got the Special, southwest eggrolls and my husband got the kielbasa sandwich with fries. Wow! Everything was so good. I don't know what they do to the fries but they're amazing. We both got the margaritas and they were just right. Jack, the gentleman who served us was kind and attentive. What a perfect introduction to St Augustine!

The music is great, but unfortunately, my experience was pretty disappointing. I went on a Friday around 6 PM, and the place was a bit empty—maybe because of the time—but I sat there for over 10 minutes waiting for the waitress to even acknowledge me. She was the only one working and was completely glued to her phone. I eventually just left since no one even bothered to ask if I wanted anything. Before heading out, I asked for her name at the bar: Alisa. Good luck, girl—you really need to do better."

We were hot and tired after stopping at the Castillo. We stumbled from the sun into this Tavern and everyone’s mood improved. The kids ate ten dollar chicken fingers and fries. The grownups a mojito and burger. The fries were delicious (think Checkers but fresh cut). Server was quick and helpful. Bathrooms fun rustic theme but nice and clean. Live music even at 3pm on a Tuesday!
