    We enjoyed their happy hour wings (extra crispy), House Cabernet, and friendly attentive service! The rustic woodwork and details in this restaurant lend perfectly to the Historic district's vibe. While very tourist friendly, Barley Republic is a great place to be a local regular as well! Very chill, in the best way.

    Food was great! Service was even better! I got my Ruben with sour dough.. not a fan of rye and they easily accommodated! Super yummy and in a great area!

    We were in St Augustine for the weekend and looking for somewhere to get Happy Hour. We found Barley Republic and their specials sounded good so we decided to check it out. Their HH is til 7pm, $5 smash burgers and wings as well as various drink specials. We both got smash burgers, added fries ($2) and cheese ($1.50) + fried pickles. Our server was pretty absent, we had to flag her down many times and were left waiting around looking for her. My SO got the bacon washed Old Fashioned and it was the smallest OF we've ever seen. His glass wasn't even filled 2 fingers full and thats with a big ice cube in it. It was pretty pitiful and he said it was just ok tasting. Our server dropped our food and said she'd bring us silverware and napkins and after waiting for at least five minutes I went to the server station and got them myself. This was a repeating pattern with her, she'd say she'd get us something and then never followed through. Our burgers were good, as were the fries, especially for the price. We also ordered the fried pickles which were spears cut into small pieces that were breaded and fried. They were good as well! The food definitely saved our overall experience but i'm not sure we'll be returning anytime soon.

    This was my first time here, but a lot in our group had been here before and said it was a "must stop" on our adult evening in St Augustine. We were able to get a table upstairs for 8-10 people. It was cozy up there, and they had a large projector screen to watch college football. They had a good holiday cocktail list- the peppermint espresso martini was amazing! Just the right hint of peppermint but not overpowering. The other popular choice in our group was the Xmas Old Fashioned. Food wise- we got some chicken tenders and curry pub fries. Just wanted some things to snack on, and they hit the spot. Service was pretty quick also with it being St Augustine during Nights of Lights season. I will definitely go back in the future- glad our friends recommended it

    Late night dinner in old st Augustine on a Saturday night. This was one of only a few places open after 10pm. Apparently this town sleeps in early; even on a Saturday night. Go figure. We sat outside since the weather was nice and cool. Service was good. Fish and chips were very good. The lamb burger was perfectly cooked and tasty. I recommend.

    This pub is just a standard st aug pub, nothing noteworthy. Beer was cold, glass was clean, a/c was blasting. If it wasn't the dead of summer it could be fun to sit out front with your dog.

    Fried Haddock sandwich

    I'm not sure now why I chose Barley Republic for dinner, aside from their dog-friendly patio, but that was a good enough reason. I'd called ahead to double-check that we could bring Gilligan, since Nights of Lights was ongoing, and I also wanted to see if we could get on the waitlist. Yes for dogs; no for a reservation or call-ahead list. But I was assured the wait on a table for four around 6pm on the first Saturday of December wouldn't be more than about 45 minutes. Our wait was at least that long, though we were able to get drinks & hang out on the open side patio for most of our wait. Unfortunately, it started raining before we were seated, and there wasn't much of any covered wait area. We relocated near the entrance to get out of the rain, and I think we ended up getting a table quicker because our small group was kind of in the way of the main entrance. Their covered porch wasn't large but, as I mentioned, it's dog-friendly. We were seated in the corner, with mostly bench seating, so our 15lb chiweenie could sit with us instead of on the ground. After he had a few bites, he was able to lay down & snooze, too, in spite of all the noise from both the street & restaurant. I ordered Baked Mac & Cheese and added the fried chicken thigh. It was very tasty! Hubs enjoyed the Reuben sandwich, which had a lot of corned beef. My son liked his BYOB Burger, and my DIL also enjoyed the Fried Haddock sandwich with a side of cole slaw. And we all loved the fries! Service was good throughout. We really appreciated the open waiting area on the side porch. Until it started raining, this was an ideal spot with a ledge for drinks and bar stools. We'll definitely return on a future St Augustine visit.

    Fun vibe and good bar food!! Props to this place for being open late! This was one of the place suggested by a local in town and it was what we needed late night -- chicken tenders and Mac n cheese were pretty awesome!

    Bailey was an outstanding server!! Food was amazing!! Try the lamb burger!!! The wedge salad was so huge and flavorful. I suggest you add the shaved ribeye! This pub is legit. The place was hopping and the bar was full. Ambiance was adorable!

    Chicken fingers - nice people, trash kitchen

    Hostes was sweet - food is trash. The guys working in the back need to be let go I expected more from the reviews. Don't be fooled - do not eat here.

    Nice that it is open late - Reuben was great! Poutine was pretty good but hardly had any cheese in it at all. Cool building and nice patio.

We got a table for a party of 5, and thankfully did not have to wait a long time. The service was fine and we did not have to wait for our server to come check on us between other tables. She was nice and on top of what we were ordering. My main issues: two of the drinks we ordered had flies/bugs in them. I'm talking 3-4 bugs in each drink. I'm not sure if they landed on the orange garnish that got put in our drinks or what, but it was not ideal. We swapped for another beverage and didn't have an issue. The other issue was the food itself. Thankfully everything came out really hot and pretty fast, but it was just super mediocre. The shepherd's pie was a bit lackluster and my husband said it was not seasoned/kind of tasteless. I'm sure it's just because of the busyness, but still disappointing. The party outside seemed super fun and everyone who was just drinking and standing for the music were happy. I would give it another chance, but absolutely not on a holiday adventure.

The environment is energetic - it seems they run a lot of daily specials and special activities including bingo, wing nights, etc. during our visit, the bar area was quite full even around 5 pm, and the dining room was filling up in anticipation of bingo. We left before bingo, but I'm sure my wife will be back to enjoy a bingo night in the future. With good food, amazing service, and reasonable pricing, Donovan's is a great option in the area.

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it.

Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.
