A1A Ale Works Restaurant & Taproom

The beer menu is amazing! So many choices, each put nicely in a category that makes it easy to choice what you like. Food was ok, the sesame tuna we ordered was not really what I was expecting. I think maybe it was a bit over cooked. The pretzel bread sticks are great with the cheese sauce. The service was great, ready to get another beer at any moment.

Burger and tacos great. Soft-shelled crab a bit small. Sides were good. Key Lime cheesecake dry. Nice view of A1A and the water. Would I come back here? Probably not.

Stopped in here on Friday night, the server was fantastic and fast. We had the calamari and fried shrimp appetizers and they were great. The calamari was tender, the shrimp was crispy and delicious. We went back the next night for drinks and to watch the entertainment and were very happy.

This place was recommended to us by a couple of really cool guys working at an old throw-back style service station on our way in to town for lunch. We loved sitting out on the second floor terrace, overlooking the busy intersection below. The decor fit perfectly, and gave us a warm and welcoming feeling of the old south. Our sever followed up on the theme with his gracious hospitality. We decided to order the dishes that were recommended by our friends at the garage, and we were not disappointed. Overall, it was a winning start to a great day in St Augustine.
