Mardi Gras Sport Bars

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I have to say, I've been wanting to stop in and hang at Mardi Gras for quite a while. The many times I've driven past the location downtown, it's been busy, ESPECIALLY during UFC fight nights. I've also heard many horror stories from people who have been here- noting there are more fights inside the building and in the parking lot than on the TV. My experience couldn't have been better, although I attended on a college football night.
  There was actually parking available- big plus. Although I noticed a large parking lot directly across the street at a hotel that offers close parking for free. There are two main areas to Mardi Gras- inside and out. You can sit outside at a bar which offers up 3 big screen TV's and enjoy cool fall Florida nights. Full bar available with a few draft beers and lots of bottled choices. Hungry? Grab food from the AWESOME "Luvin Grub" trailer in front of Mardi Gras- good food at cheap prices, and unbelievably great service.
  My favorite- go hang inside. There is a large bar in the center of the building, and also a few different rooms spread throughout the place, all with comfortable chairs, couches, tables, a VERY relaxed atmosphere. Big screen TV's all over the place show your favorite sporting events, and the best part- boxing and UFC fights. There's also a pool room in the back if you feel like having a few drinks and shooting some 8-ball. Bathrooms were clean and easy to get to, and service was all around great.
  Overall- this is one of my new favorite stops in St. Augustine. There are quite a few sports bars spread throughout the town, but this one is by far the biggest and most comfortable, offering up great deals and service, and is one of the best places to watch sporting events. Just be warned- the crowd can get PACKED and ROWDY during fight night, but overall a great time and a lot of fun.
