Hello lushes! The Boozy Blondes are asking the Boozy Bros to fill their 6-packs with their favorite St. Augustine bars in this 6 Pack To-Go episode. Rainer and Phil have plenty of experience enjoying libations around their town and break down their favorites for you.
Rainer leads the episode through downtown St. Augustine and eventually moseys over the bridge. What do you think of his 6-Pack?
- Forgotten Tonic | upscale drinks and food with an intimate environment. Big fans of the owner John (listen to John’s interview from Season 1! It’s Episode 004) and love the holiday theming around Halloween and Christmas!
- Casa Reina | located right on the bay front downtown, great tequila drinks, upscale but relaxed atmosphere (if you like tequila drinks, listen to the most recent 6-pack episode with Jose of 4 Ever Acres Kitchen!)
- Barley Republic | Irish pub downtown with a great happy hour and live music. Bars upstairs and downstairs with music on both levels.
- Stogies | cigar bar with a great outdoor space. Big fans of the owner Jeff and love the amazing bands he brings in to play here! This is an OG and the group really appreciates how it’s remained a classic downtown for over 25 years!
- Tides Grill & Oyster Co (AKA Dunes Cracker!) | This bar is super nostalgic for Rainer from when he first lived on the beach across from here in the mid-2000s. Listen to Episode 023 | Pub Pedal: St. Augustine Beach Bars: Jack’s BBQ, Salt Life, Beachcombers, Sunset Grille, Mango Mango’s and More! for more details about Tides and other great beach bars!
- Conch House | Restaurant + bar + marina, this place is another classic. Between Reggae Sundays, killer painkillers and goombay smashes, tree house dining and crow’s nest bar space, Conch House always dishes out a great time.
Rainer throws in a “bonus beer” to his pack and gives Jack’s a honorable mention – a definite group favorite. You can hear more about this episode in the above mentioned Episode 023.
Phil takes the mic next and fills his 6-pack with any place that serves beer and food.

How do you rank his 6-Pack?
- Ice Plant | step back in time at the Ice Plant which shares a space with the St. Augustine Distillery. Enjoy amazing craft cocktails and delicious food in this swanky spot!
- Dog Rose Brewing Co | smack dab in the heart of Lincolnville, Phil loves the location full of bar games like shuffleboard and darts. Now hosting a permanent food truck, this place meets Phil’s criteria of must serve beer + food. Listen to Episode 062 | St. Augustine Craft Brewers’ Festival to hear an interview from Dog Rose owner Courtney Murr! The Boozy Blondes also dish about this spot in Episode 003 | Pub Pedal: St. Augustine Craft Breweries: Bog, Dog Rose, Ancient City and Old Coast Ales – jump in the way back machine to hear about these local haunts!
- Bog Brewing | The group agrees this brewery has the best logo in town – and also a great outdoor space, and of course, beer! You can hear more about Bog in the above mentioned Episode 003. Pro tip – order the torta from the permanent food truck on site, Taco My Blessing.
- It’s a match with Rainer! Conch House!
- It’s another match! Forgotten Tonic! Phil dares to say, Forgotten Tonic serves THE BEST cocktails in town! (The group agrees!)
- Old Coast Ales | Dog friendly and serving delicious brews, this brewery is at the top of Phil’s list. Order a “Christina!” It’s half kombucha, half light beer! The group loves Osprey Tacos next door too. Listen to Episode 003 to hear more about Old Coast and the infamous guac drop by the crew’s bestie, Elias!
