St George Tavern

Packed with wall to wall people on a Friday night  it contained a mixed crowd. Some dudes were hogging the jukebox all evening and playing a combination of ganster rap, booty music and some Jimi Hendrix?!?!
I found it impossible to get to the bar and get a drink but somehow my friend knew how to.
It is a bit smoky but if you are lucky you can get a table to relax with your drinks.
An interesting stop on a night on the St. Augustine town.

This is definitely a local bar. They have friendly staff and a very casual feel. Love that the owners are Redskins fans! They so allow smoking in the bar and it is small so it can be irritating, but I love it here!

Since my favorite local sports bar decided to replace the sports with a terrible DJ, I had to venture out to find a new drinking establishment in St. Augustine. There are plenty of great spots to drink in town, and it usually depends on my mood as to where I'd like to go, and since I was in the mood for cheap beer and good tunes, St. George Tavern was the destination.
This place has been around for a WHILE, and although it's on St. George Street, which many locals refuse to visit, it has a great local vibe to it. I had a great time here, as did everyone else
My big positives- cheap beer and great bartenders, who really took care of everyone in the place. Lots of big screen TV's were playing a lot of different sporting events, although the volume was turned off in favor of a jukebox- awesome choice. Don't know who it was, but someone was playing some great tunes. Even though I don't smoke, I respect the fact that this place lets you smoke inside- I believe that should be a stable in good drinking establishments, people should be able to relax and enjoy themselves.
My big negatives- not much space in here, especially on a busy night. Only a few tables and a few barstools are available, and the walkway to get to the restrooms / jukebox / video games is not very wide. Be prepared to have to push people out of the way to get anywhere, and be prepared to be pushed, because if you can't get a seat, there's not a lot of standing room available either.
Overall- had a great time in the Tavern. Lots of locals enjoying themselves, cheap beer, great drinks, good music, and good folks. Wouldn't put it near the top of my favorite drinking places in town, but it certainly is a great place to stop and have a few. Will definitely be back.
