It was a chilly afternoon in St Augustine. Needed a pint and a snack to warm up. Had a perfectly poured pint of Guinness and split a Pastrami sandwich with my best friend. Service was friendly and thoughtful. Lots of outside seating for a prettier day. Classic pub style on the inside. Drop in here for a pint. read more

What a fun Irish bar! Great ambience! Great service! Nice selection of sandwiches, including half sandwiches, and drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening experience and enjoyed meeting other patrons having a great time! read more

Not as good as I was expecting from the sandwich. I made my own roast beef and cheese. I think I went wrong with the aioli. I would stick to Mayo next time. Winner was the soup! Crowded little place but respectable food. read more

Great service! The servers were super friendly and helpful with recommendations on what to do nearby. I had a coupon from Night of Lights trolly tour (from the 3D glasses) for BOGO domestic draft beer. One of the bartenders warned that the food would take 30 minutes, so I got a cup of chicken chili to avoid waiting. It was actually pretty good. read more

Whatever you do, don't go on Trivia Night. The host demanded that we move to a different table because his table was "reserved". (There was no sign...) The employee then insisted that we move, so we walked out. The host and the employee were extremely rude. Very disappointing. read more

This review is based on a visit 8/9/20. Went solely for the Beef on Weck sandwich, which is only offered on Sundays. If you're not familiar with this sandwich, you are missing out! It is a regional sandwich which originated in Buffalo, NY and is pretty much a staple throughout NY state and other parts of the Northeast. It is a similar to a French Dip, but served on a round Kimmelweck roll, which is a good hearty roll split and topped with caraway seeds and kosher salt - lots of kosher salt (a very good thing!). The beef is a bit wet, which is why the Kimmelweck roll is so important, because it is sturdy enough to stand up to the luscious juices from the medium rare sliced beef. My bestie and I had the Beef on Weck during our fall road trip from Boston to Ithaca last October, and have been obsessed ever since. When we found out Ann O'Malley's had it on Sundays, we immediately made plans for a Sunday trip from Jacksonville to feast on our obsession. We checked their Yelp and Facebook pages to make sure they were open and doing dine-in before setting a date/time. We found the place easily, a quaint, eclectic little spot which had a mask master at the door ensuring entering patrons were aware of the mask policy before proceeding indoors ("Masks must be worn at all times when not seated at your table.) We were told to have a seat anywhere we liked, then greeted fairly promptly by a server in a mask. Unfortunately, when we tried to place our order for two Beef on Weck sandwiches, we learned they were not serving them at this time. Our server sites the reasons as supply chain issues due to COVID which prevents them from getting the Kimmelweck rolls (which are shipped from a NY state bakery) and the Beef they use (not sure if this also comes from NY state as they didn't say). So very disappointing! When there is a signature item that is ONLY served one day of the week, and this item is temporarily unavailable on the menu with no ETA of its return, I would expect that information to be prominently highlighted on your Facebook and/or Yelp pages somewhere, maybe even an updated picture of the menu with that item marked out with a red x or something. Alas, it was not. We settled for splitting the Marty sandwich and a Hog of a Dog with Chili with a side of cole slaw. When the food arrived, the dog was missing the chili. Our server seemed to have amnesia that we even ordered it with chili, as she repeated back that we had asked for the Hog of a Dog... to which we replied: ".. yes, Hog of A Dog, no onions, no jalapeños, add chili." She brought out a small cup of chili, which was very tasty, even if it had a few chunky veggies in it (my friend didn't mind, but I prefer my chili without chunks of veg). However, it was thinner and sweeter than a hot dog chili is typically, so after a spoonful added over top of the dog, it became a knife & fork kind of experience, and the chili was enjoyed as a soup side with a spoon. The hot dog was plump and beefy. It was served on a potato roll type bun, which was soft and yeasty. The Marty is essentially a Reuben with the sauerkraut swapped out for their homemade slaw, which our server explained is unique as it's made with a raspberry vinegar. We opted for it to be served on the side (sorry, no pic). The hot pastrami was a bit dry, but helped out by the addition of some mustard which we asked for after the first bite. My friend said she might order the Marty again, but for me it would be a pass (mainly since no place will ever touch the hot pastrami on rye from Carnegie Deli in NY). The homemade slaw didn't really scream "raspberry vinegar" - had we not been told, we would not have known it was any different than sla made with white vinegar. I actually thought the vinegar flavor and tang was a bit weak, so asked for a small side of it so that I could add more to the slaw myself. It was also not quite sweet enough, but I fixed that with the stevia drops I carry in my purse for just such occasions. Aside from the hot dog, maybe the best part of our visit were these lovely homemade cookies in varied and uncommon flavors. Our server explained they are baked by a teen with autism who comes up with the flavors and recipes himself, and uses the proceeds to fund his summer camp stay each year. He has a Facebook page called Kyle's Camp Cookies, and he does ship/deliver: https://www.facebook.com/Kyles-CAMP-Cookies-175288570051975/. I believe we had a Chocolate Chip, a Peanut Butter, & maybe a Blueberry Cheesecake (sorry no pics & can't recall the exact flavor of the third cookie, but it was delicious, and I know he does make a blueberry cheesecake because I remember our server mentioning it). Overall, a solid experience; docking a for not posting on the Facebook or Yelp pages about the Beef on Weck being temporarily unavailable for the time being. Will def return for a Beef on Weck once it is back on the menu! read more

Great beer and food. I drank a Guinness Draft 20 Oz and I ate a Turkey Club on wheat bread. The sandwiches was delicious and beer was great! I sat at the bar inside the restaurant; so, service was quick. read more

This place was not on my extensive St. Augustine list of things to do but we decided to stop in after dinner on St. Patrick's Day. I mean how could you not visit an Irish bar on this day? We walked up and there were many people sitting outside. Hubby grabbed a table outside while I went inside to order beers. There was live music and even large speakers outside. I stood at the bar by the front door for over 5 minutes before being acknowledged. I asked for 2 Innis & Gunn. The bartender looked at me like I had 8 heads. I said you have a banner outside advertising it for St. Patrick's Day. He says oh that was outside and we ran out. Okay. Now I have to go out and get a different request from hubby. I go back to the same spot and wait again. And wait. And wait. Mind you, it was not packed and I was the only one waiting at the bar for a drink. I finally get to order and one of the taps was super slow and spitting mostly foam. Again I wait. He asks if I want to keep an open tab and I said yes so he asks for a credit card. I give it to him and he doesn't come back. Okay now I have to assume they hold on to it. Some places just swipe the card and give it back. Anyway, I sit outside with hubby and drink our beverages while admiring the ambiance. The building looked older than most businesses. The place is rather small but spacious enough for 100 people combined for outside and inside. Now for the finale...it was getting close to midnight and this is when I celebrate my birthday because everyone is hungover on my birthday every year so I started to celebrate at midnight on St. Patrick's Day. I wanted to go somewhere else that we knew would stay open late. Once again, I go in and wait at the same spot at the bar to close out. The bartender saw me and did not acknowledge me. After 5 minutes, he says I'll be right with you sweetie. Um okay. He then proceeds to serve someone a beer, have a 5 minute conversation with someone else at the end of the bar, then actually leave the bar (all at the rate of speed of a slug). Thankfully there was someone else working but i don't think he was as a bartender. He approached me as soon as he was done and I asked to close out. It seriously took him less than 2 minutes. If I ever come here again, if I see that lazy bartender, I definitely will not stay. read more

Ann O'Malley's - The Big Boy PB&J. It had pepper jelly and bacon. - Irish Pub Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Like an old Irish Pound, there were two sides to my Ann O'Malley's experience. On one side was the food. On the other side, was the experience. The food and general cleanliness: We had high hopes for the food. We like Irish pubs and Irish food. But, like a Scott Norwood field goal that sails just right of the upright in the final seconds, the food was a huge let down. Admittedly our selections of the nachos and the submarine sandwich were probably more like a Vince Ferragamo/Joe Cribbs backfield than Jim Kelley and Thurman Thomas (which from the other reviews appears to be the Reuben and Beef on Weck (but on Sundays only)). Regardless, that doesn't excuse the nearly inedible beef on the nachos and the lack of vegetation on the sub. I'm expecting shredded iceberg, more onion, and thin slices of tomato. When asked about a simple sub sauce, I was given packets of Italian dressing. There was plenty of decent meat on the sub. Overall, the wife said the nachos were reminiscent of something you'd get at a convenience store. She left more than half on the plate. The beer selection was decent, but the beer tasted like it was coming from dirty lines. I switched to the cider, which was fine. The general disorganization, leaking HVAC vent right over a bar stool, and an overall dirty feel to the place, did nothing to dissuade from that sense of a lack of attention to details. The overall experience: Ann O'Malley's is good at providing that "small Irish Pub feel". The small space makes it easy to become fast friends with those around you, and it was that way for us. Like a precision touchdown strike from Jim Kelly to Andre Reed, the service from the staff was nearly flawless. The bartenders were very friendly, very accommodating, and very attentive. Further enhancing the atmosphere and overall experience, I gotta give props to the evening's version of a Whitney Houston rendition of the National Anthem...Miss Gina's Trivia was the real reason we were there, and she didn't disappoint. The summary on Ann O'Malley's is simple. If you're looking for a super-friendly, fairly authentic, small Irish Pub experience (like winning the AFC Championship), you will want to stop in when touring our beautiful St. Augustine. If you're expecting the entire Irish Pub experience (you know, winning that Super Bowl Ring), this isn't the place. My recommendation is that you don't plan to eat here. For that, I suggest a short drive over to Dan Murphy's. read more

Do not go here. We ordered our food and started to wait. Sandwiches came out 1 at a time. They were only sandwiches, nothing complicated-made with cold cuts. Server dropped one sandwich basket which was caught by our grandson before it hit his lap. I could have made triple amount of sandwiches in the 40+ mins it took to get them. I would give them a -1 if it was available. Bill was expensive-a small plastic container with 5 pieces of avocado no bigger than 1.5 inches was an additional $1.50. This is a small neighborhood bar which is trying to market itself as a place to eat in a busy tourist area. read more

Terrible service, it took over an hour for our food to arrive, waiter knocked food into the lap of a customer. Would not recommend

What can we say - Donovan and Joe made us feel at home, and gave credit to the expression " a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet". Encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted, never a rush, always a smile or a fun word, and of course amazing food /libations. They are incredible guys, go there just to meet them. Sit outside when they have the live music. It's wonderful. read more

Great sandwiches and drinks! Great service! Very welcoming and relaxed spot. Definitely recommend anyone stop in for a bite and drink.

Based on Yelp reviews, we opted to stop by Ann O`Malley`s instead of our usual, Scarlett O`Hara`s. This turned out to be a big mistake. We ordered our food, and were told the wait time would be 30 minutes (only sandwiches were ordered) We did not get food until 1 hour and 15 minutes later! The waiter appeared to be lost! We ordered more drinks and he forgot to get them, only remembering when he brought appetizers to another table. My grandson (25 years old) ordered the ultimate PB&J and was brought a kids PB&J instead. Four sandwiches were served and we had to ask for the final sandwich, which apparently had also been forgotten. I do realize that help is hard to come by, but its time to do your job with some enthusiasm. No, we won`t be going back when we return to St Augustine- probably go back to Scarlett O. read more

1st of all It's a bar not really a restaurant the food is good but there will be a wait.

This is a cute little bar right in the heart of St Augustine If you're looking for a relaxed bar to have a few drinks and mingle with your friends this is the spot. They also have TVs for sports and a area to sit down other than the bar if you would like to enjoy some food else where. read more

4.5 actually, but service was really nice so better 5 than 4: cozy, friendly, small, intimate, fun, relaxed. Two dogs with sauerkraut were good -better sauerkraut would be welcomed. Tuna salad and egg sandwich on toasted whole wheat was heavenly. A bottle of quite decent moscato for $20 does not break the bank. Also makes heart happy and spirits rise. No headache the next day. Loved the place. read more

Ho hum service. The only dude working was both bartender and waiter. We were greeted at the door, told to sit anywhere. We found a table (which wasn't too hard considering there were only a handful of customers there besides my wife and I. It took some time (probably 10-ish minutes) before the bartender came over to get our drink order. We ordered our drinks, and when we decided that we were not going to order food, the bartender actually belted out a sigh of relief by saying "even better" (as in, he didn't want to have to cook anything). You could tell that the folks that were tended to more were "insiders" to this place. The decor was so-so, nothing that made me feel at home like a traditional Irish pub/bar. Didn't get a good vibe at all here. read more

Stopped here for the first time on Sunday specifically for the Beef on Weck. We have been to other places that claimed to have Beef on Weck that turned out to be dried out chewy roast beef on a hamburger bun, so we did not get our hopes up. It was outstanding! It is tender roast beef server on a real kimmelweck roll with ground horseradish. Even got to wash it down with a Molson Canadian. If you are not from Buffalo you can't appreciate that this is not possible outside of western NY. As a bonus it was Sunday and the Bills were playing. Turns out this is the home of the Bills Backer's too! Great food and a friendly owner. We are huge fans of Ann O'Malley's and will be back the next time we are in St. Augustine. read more

Food was OK, nice little Irish pub in St Augustine off of St George Street. The guy that was waiting on us was also the bartender, so, he was struggling to keep up. I'm sure it's a great place to sit and have a few pints with friends, but, when you have the Columbia restaurant in mind, it's kinda hard for this place to fill in for them. read more

They close early on some days, and we happened to only have time for a quick beer and couldn't eat because it was closing. It was pretty early (about 5PM) and we had just finished wandering around the cemetary that was right in front and figured that an Irish Pub would have some great grub. I guess the service was a reflection of the fact that they really wanted to get out of there. I can't say I was impressed, but I might have just hit them on a bad day? read more

First off, the only reason I stopped at 4 stars is because the food selection is pretty minimal. Don't go in expecting a "dinner" type meal. We had the loaded nachos and then I had the corn beef rueben and both were great. Definitely a fun place to hang out. If you are out walking around old St. Augustine you deinately need to stop in. A parking hint. If you go late enough in the evening, you can park in the train tour lot right next door. read more

We went for the adult bingo on Sunday night with a group of 11 and had an absolute blast! I would describe it as an more of an interactive comedy show than bingo. Karrissa is hysterical.

The owners and bartenders were welcoming and so much fun! read more

This place is a Bills Backers bar. Beef on Weck was just like home. Points for having Genny Cream Ale as well. Only knock on this place was the space. Until some space opened up, we awkwardly stood behind the small bar while the staff was trying to get around. Only about 5 tables and a small bar inside, a few tables on the front patio is nice too.

Fun Irish pub. Mary keeps things moving. Enjoued Guinness. Harp and Irish coffee. We liked talking to the locals.

The food, that they remembered to bring part of, was subpar! Super rude staff! I'm sure both their names were Dick!! Such condescending attitudes! Don't go there! Maybe the clue would have been, "Order at the bar because we don't wait tables." Evidently, sitting at the bar didn't help either! We've never been treated so rude in our lives, and the crappy bartender claimed to be the manager, and that tells you all you need to know about why it's a terrible place to go! Plus, they weren't even busy! Terrible!!!! If I could give them zero stars I would! read more
