The Monk's Vineyard

The owner was super friendly and seemed to know his stuff when dealing with others. He let me strum his guitar from Brazil which seems random but stuck with me. Maybe it's the extremely personal feel of the shop, but it felt so homey. Like this is a personal bar with trinkets he likes and can randomly open it to the public. It just felt comforting. I hope to be back soon. It seemed to be the most authentic spot on St George St. It wasn't a bar with a crew of employees, but a bar that this guy wants to own and operate just because he can. It's easily one of the highlights of my trip.

A must stop when visiting Saint Augustine. You can buy a selection of beer here. They also offer grog, sangria, and wine. You can purchase package beer to go as well. A great place to come and watch the activity on St George Street. Unfortunately, I believe this business has been sold and will be undergoing an extensive renovation into a rum bar. I wish all the best to the previous and incoming owners.

Great house-made sangria and world-class service! Great selection of beers and wines. If you want good sangria (that isn't diluted with juices and sugar) in St. Augustine this is the spot!

Quirky and fun. Very small but drinks you can't get in other bars. The owner/ bartender is a character! We loved popping in and having grog and vikings blood.

I found the man behind the bar to be nasty human being. I asked for simple price on a bottle of wine that I was going to purchase until he acted like he was doing me a favor by answering the question. He was rude and pretty much an jerk. He seems to think very highly of himself as he talks down to you and acts as though him providing service is somehow doing you a favor. Seemed drunk as well. It is nice shop with some great items but if your owner is a jerk then it is a waste of time.
