    Ancient City has definitely been around for awhile - an awkward space with the longest bar in town? Beer was good - went with the Amber Ale which I guzzled down Service was good with it being a 1 woman operation at the time of our visit on a Sunday afternoon. A bit dark and maybe a little musty for my liking which resulted in 4/5 score.

    Had a nice stop at Ancient City Brewing's downtown taproom. The location is right in the heart of downtown St Augustine making it easy to pop in for a beer before dinner. Bartender was friendly and quick and a pleasure to be around. Love that the Jaguar theming is still up from their 1st and Gold release, the official Jags beer for the 30th season. Also really liked their collaboration with First Magnitude for their Helles Bock. There is a smaller selection of beers than their brewery but still some interesting choices. Only negatives were that beers were a dollar or two more than I would have expected and they didn't have a large selection of six packs to go. Also the bathrooms were out of order. Still if you are in the area and want a nice local beer I recommend.

    Hubby and I decided to spend the day in St. Augustine and wanted to check out some of the local breweries/bars. Our first stop was Ancient City Brewing Taproom. We've walked by at least a dozen times and I don't know why it took us this long to try them out. The ambiance is very chill. We walked in, ordered a couple brews, then hung out and chatted by the front window. I loved the Castillo Coconut Porter and the Galleon's Golden Ale. Hubby really liked the Matanzas River Red Ale and the Augustine's Orange Amber. They didn't have a huge menu but they had a good variety of beer styles. There's really something for everyone. For sure worth checking out Ancient City Brewing Taphouse while in St. Augustine!

    Quaint brewery stop in St Augustine. We stopped on our way in from traveling and a great spot to kill time before checking in. Service is extremely friendly and personable. Drinks only no food. Great spot and has a great selection of local brews to drink from.

    Love the old school vibe.

    We were strolling the mean streets of St. Augustine when what should appear before us? Why, a local brewery of course! Bonus points that they were showing the Seahawks game too. (Well, they WERE playing against local Jacksonville, after all.) This historical-looking little spot is pretty much what a craft brewery should be. Small, open, sporting lots of local character, and dog-friendly. The beer was delish, too - I started with a Matanzas red ale and finished with a coconut porter. Both were rich, complex, and delish. There wasn't food here, but the grilled cheese joint next door looked tempting. Go 'Hawks!

    I love love love Breweries and their affiliated Tap Rooms. But.... When you enter an establishment and it smells like poo it makes one skeptical. We pushed our self forward order beer and made comments about the smell. We got our beers and no acknowledgment of the poo smell. We nestled ourselves near the door and the smell wained. Until we had to pee then we forced our way through the pungent odor to take care of our business. While sitting close to the door away from the odor we saw more than 8 people open the door walk in and leave. While the bar was full of the bartenders friends how can she not know that her bar and establishment smells like poo. Check your video no one came in no one left just her friends.. Asheville would've ashamed.

    Every time we go downtown we start our afternoon/evening with a stop at the ACB Taproom. Not only do they have all of ACB's beers of the season on tap but they also offer ciders and soft drinks as well. Well behaved children are welcome with their parents. Hungry and want a beer? They have you covered. You can bring food in or order from one of the businesses right there such as the amazing Greek restaurant and the gourmet grilled cheese restaurant directly next door. They have ACB merchandise like very cool pint coozies and ACB metal signs for your bar or man cave at home! Super friendly staff and a very relaxed atmosphere!!

    Excellent beer, found while walking around St Augustine. Support local. I am very impressed and highly recommend.

    Great beer friendly staff, but the atmosphere is leaving you wanting

    Delicious beer, friendly staff, but the atmosphere leaves you wanting... Unexplored potential here

    My birthday surprise weekend took us to St. Augustine and though Ben was trying to make it all about just me but I "twisted his arm" into going to a brewery! The brewery is small and quaint and of course in an old building in St. Augustine's main tourist area. Most of the seats were taken with a good mix of locals and tourist alike. The flight had Augustine's Orange Amber Ale, Watermelon Wheat Ale, Anastasia Island IPA, and Honey IPA.

    This was a good bar... definitely not my favorite out of the 3 I went too. The staff was "get your drink and leave you alone" kind never asked if I wanted another. They had a Anastasia drink but can only and didn't say anything about it.. I would have been interested in buying a van but she never asked.

    Phenomenal service, great location, awesome beer. I really appreciate breweries that have just one of each type of beer, and this place was one of those gems. Tried 5 beers, and all were awesome. Definitely recommend! No food is served here, but they are next to a grilled cheese place, and near many restaurants.

    Very chill tap room. The bartender was super friendly. They have a really good selection of brews. I really enjoyed the mocha mallow stout.

    Took a brewery and history tour and this was the second stop! The OCD was excellent! Beer with the notes of a dreamcicle popsicle.

    Just an okay place...beers were average. I did a flight and the red ale was the best. Might have a different vibe at night.

    Can't say enough about this hidden gem in St Augustine. Just a short walk off of St George Street,…read moreyou can get the best priced food I got my entire trip. The wings were amazing, burgers were good, and the Nacho Fries were so good they were gone before I could take a picture. Waiter was an absolute beast, constant supply of Ice Cold Michelob's. The atmosphere was also really good, not like the trailer parks back home.

    Treylor Park was such a fun find in St. Augustine! The vibe alone makes it worth the visit--think…read morequirky, creative décor with an RV-inspired interior that gives it a laid-back, offbeat charm. It got pretty busy while we were there, but impressively, they were running with just one server--and he absolutely held it down. Despite the crowd, he stayed attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly, which really stood out. The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.
