The talented mixologists here are not just bartenders; they are artists. With each sip, you'll discover a story, a philosophy, and unexpected flavors that elevate your cocktail experience. While I was blown away by signature concoctions and the playful presentations—like a smoky treasure chest for the Bartender's Call—it's clear that their commitment to creativity extends to the dishes as well.
The menu proudly showcases standout items such as the Birria Enchiladas, featuring shredded birria wrapped in homemade corn tortillas, topped with a creamy green sauce. Each bite is a delightful celebration of flavors that transport you straight to culinary heaven. Then there’s the Tuna Tostada, an exquisite combination of sushi-grade yellowfin tuna and house poke sauce, meticulously plated with mango pico and guacamole. It's a melody of freshness and taste that simply cannot be missed.
The Cheesy Elote Gnocchi is yet another must-try dish. A fusion of creamy goodness and addictive textures, this dish will leave you craving more. Pair your meal with delectable sides like Yuca Frita, which are crispy on the outside but tender inside—simply irresistible.
And let's not forget about dessert. The Beignets here are light, airy pastries sprinkled generously with powdered sugar, a perfect sweet conclusion to an indulgent meal. Or opt for Grandma's Tres Leches, a rich sponge cake soaked in a luscious blend of three milks that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

“ Very hip and cool. Definitely a must stop even just for a special cocktail. They make amazingly creative cocktail. Either on drink menu but I'd slip that to telling these amazingly talented mixologist to make you your own special cocktail. Tell them what you like ,they will suggest and mix you ,your own never the same twice fancy and get your phone ready to video tape some of these drinks. I'm glad I don't live here because I'd be broke trying all the magic. My cocktail 2 day stop each different cocktail came with a show. The mixologist s are very happy to talk about their secrets put into very cool old lil droppers and bottles. Will let you try a taste with the history or story of the liquor or mix. A must stop !!! ”
“ OMG! Nick was absolutely amazing. I would’ve had no idea that he had barely started by how good he gave me recommendations. I really appreciate his honesty and his knowledge of the menu. It means a lot I’m a fine dining server so I definitely have more questions than the normal patron . He was also extremely kind to me and my dog which means so much And that’s why I will definitely be coming back the next time that I’m in Saint Augustine and I will definitely be requesting Nick. ”
“ Absolutely great bartender ask for Brady. Thank you Brady for making me a special drink definitely hit beautifully. My husband and I definitely recommend this place will be visiting again shortly. If you are unsure of a drink, he will definitely make you one. ”
“ Visiting from Tampa: this place is amazing! The decor is cute and is large. The food was amazing. Ana was so kind and her recommendations were great. I had the Espresso Martini, which the bartender made sure to make it sweeter for me as Ana said I could have them tweak it. The Bartender’s Call was a great display. Ours came in a smoky treasure chest and was a play on the Old Fashion. We ordered the Mojo Chicharrones and it was perfect. I can’t even explain it. We also ordered the Chicken Avocado Dip. The arepas were so crisp. ”
“ Host your private event in the speakeasy! The cocktails, the food (the food!), the decor: Everything was perfect and so easy! Everyone we worked with was friendly and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better venue, service or experience. The photos I’m including are of the space prior to adding our personal touches. It’s such a fun venue! They do private events perfectly! ”
“ The most incredible cocktail bar and lounge experience I have had yet! From the atmosphere to the service and drinks/food, everything makes me want to keep coming back. This place is highly enjoyable and welcoming not to mention clean and delicious. Ask for Shelby when you come to this must go to bar. They, make such fun and thoughtful art (drinks). I’ve been three times and Shelby has taken amazing care of me every time. Highly recommend the Bar Tenders Call and just let them know what spirits you do/don’t like. Shelby is so knowledgeable and has a passion for spirits and mixology and it shows with their delightful creations! Perfect place to finish the day off on our 5 year anniversary and went back the next couple weekends after! Unfortunately, is a couple hours away but worth the drive. If your in town don’t miss out. For food I only tried the empanadas and they were absolutely fantastic! Thank you Shelby for the recommendation. ”
“ This place has great food that is not what you find elsewhere. It has a younger LA type vibe. I got their gnocchi which was stuffed with cheese and was Elote (Mexican street corn) inspired. I would highly recommend. ”
“ Came in for a bite after the parade, I forgot to take any pictures but so delicious, great atmosphere, we sat at the bar and watched the bartender work his magic! Everything was delicious, we shared the Curry Chicken Sando with fresh cut french fries and the Cachapa with pork, OMG it all was a wonderful, if you haven't been here, the inside bar is so cool great vibes, great food, they are invested in their business, making it a unique experience. Highly recommend for lots of innovative flavors and glassware too. There is a drink in that panda!! ”
