The Monk's Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Shop

One of our favorite stops in the city! The owner, Hank, is a great guy and definitely worth talking to. Fantastic selection of drinks, including mead. Cozy spot with good ambience.

My family used to love going to The Monk's Vineyard every time we were in St. Augustine. It had been years since I had been so on a recent trip to see the Christmas Lights of St. Augustine, I stopped by. The place looked completely uninviting and the owner was rude and snotty. He possibly was drunk but that is no excuse for treating people the way he did. Karma, buddy - it WILL catch up with you.

The owner is quick witted!

This hole in the wall wine shop and bar offered a huge variety of craft beer, mead, and wine. We spent over an hour with a couple bottles of mead and interesting conversation with Hank, the propritor/barman. It's a quiet cubby in the midst of a busy touristy pedestrian street that includes four bar stools at the bar and a separate table. If you find yourself looking for a reprieve from the busy tourist alleys, pop into The Monk's Vineyard and enjoy the environment and spirits.

While hundreds of people pass you by on st George street this is a great place to get out of the crowd and enjoy craft beer or top notch quality wines I’m a local to st augustine and I can assure you nothing compares to this quite calm quirky ora if you’ve been searching for that one beer you can’t seem to definitely give this place a try and enjoy the old town atmosphere

The Monk's Vinyard is my reason to go to St. Augustine. The owner, Hank, makes incredible drinks and always offers engaging conversation. Try the pirates grog.

Great drinks

Great beer and wine selection. Nice play to sit outside and people watch as it's right on the main pedestrian walkway in the heart of the historic district. The Sangria was also very nice.

This is a nice bar. If you're in St. Augustine, buy a drink here and enjoy.

No bathroom...place is rotting to the ground. Owner is a no it all grump. He is also the bartender who drinks from your cups...over charges u and waits on u when he feels like it. And if u get a buzz..look out he will pad that bill. Pass on this one

One of the oldest bars in St. Augustine with a great selection if wine and beer.

Bartender was pretty nasty looking, I'm not even sure he cleans the glasses.

Never a dull moment, with cordial clientele who apparently are old friends with the bartender. Sit and have a chat over a sangria or beer, and be part of the unpretentious and "untouristy" place that's probably noneexistent on St. Geroge. You'll probably understand very quickly why people are repeat customers (or completely turned off, probably). It was initidating at first (to us), because it wasn't like a "regular" bar, not a lot of tables, no "designer" decor, and strangely that the customers were the ones eagerly greeting us. We sat at the tiny bar with a sangria and grog, and had met lively people with intersting stories. I thought it was the most friendly, genuine and memorable experience out of my two day visit to St. Augustine. It saddens me to learn that it is being sold, and it probably won't be here much longer.

My fav place to go in chill out and talk to locals and visitors. Its not a perfectly cleaned up spot but wouldn't want it any other way. A bit haunted looking. Vibe is laid back. Owner is also. They sell wines and diff beers to go as well as sit back get off your feet and chill..

Even on the street you smell the funk, the owner has shamed his family and let the place go and expects tooo much money to purachase his roperties he drove into the ground.
