The St. Augustine Distillery was on my list to try out their first batch of Florida Double Cast Bourbon since Prohibition. I did the tour and sampled all their spirits... Not bad at all. But after you get herded into the gift shop to buy overpriced liquor and trinkets.. At the end of the hall, the stairs lead to a bar. The Ice Plant Bar. I don't think they're part of the distillery but it's kinda cool that this old ice plant has been repurposed as a bad ass cocktail bar. Yeah yeah blah blah... Less talky, more drinky.
The innards of the St. Augustine Distillery like it says on the wall.
Double fisting cocks... Old Fashioned and Gypsy Tumbler during happy cocktail hour. And many more after that...
Smoked Local Fish Dip, chips, pickled okra. Got have some grub to absorb the booze guzzling. Now, this is how a fish dip plate should look like... Not a scoop of dried out fish flakes with a bag of chips. An ostrich egg size of spreadable smoked salmon with a ton of house made chips and pickled okra, pickles, peppers, garlic. A nice plate of munchies while getting hammered.
The glory hole... The space ain't large but it can fit a decent amount of tipplers.
The place is cool and cozy even with the high ass ceilings and warehouse like space. They got a pretty good cocktail program here and the food menu is not bad either... It reminds me of mini Kimball House a little bit but without the sick ass oyster program.
