Although the drinks are a bit on the pricey side ($12.00 for a regular gin martini), the seating and view is worth it. One of the best views of the harbor that you can get, nice front patio seating and at night the lit torches add a wonderful romantic ambiance to your cocktail. Take a date there for sure for great views and great conversation!

Drinking cocktails in the sun, while overlooking the bay? OH YES! You want it. No, let me rephrase: you NEED it!
Day one of our Florida roadtrippin' galore and we decided to explore St. Augustine. After all, it's known as "the Ancient City" and "the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement and port". Nothing wrong with a little touristy quote now and then ;-). We parked our car and Tip from Flip: Parking along the Avenida Menendez is FREE on Sunday's!
The Tini Martini is a hotel / cocktailbar (with live jazz music at night to get you in the Great Gatsby mode) and for the decor alone is this a must see! The whole interior just breathes southern decadence. But in a good way! And the cocktails... oh my friends let me tell you about the fabulous martinis: pear & pineapple is my new favourite combination and for a midday cocktail I would like to suggest: The coffee martini. Sitting on a warm day, overlooking the bay & blue ocean, you feel like drinking an iced coffee. It melts on your tongue, the coffee keeps you awake before the vodka kicks in.
The staff is just beautiful: super friendly and they know their liquors... They don't pour your glass completely full, so you can walk safely outside to the terrace without spilling your drink. And, they give you the mini cocktailshaker so you can fill up your glass yourself and have an extra sip. Drinking cocktails here was the BEST way to start our trip!
