The St. George Tavern was mine and my wife's favorite watering holes pre-coof. Afterwards, it became just another bar. It was fun to go in, talk to the locals and smoke a cigar while enjoying a well-made cocktail. But alas, someone had to mess up a good thing by putting up sneeze shields everywhere and banning smoking. Oh well.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I haven't been in there in a while so I'm not sure if they have taken that down yet

[@laurieking9544]

Made my first trip to St. Augustine in the late 70's........ Yes, it has changed quite a bit. I do miss Tom's shell shop out on the island....

[@laurieking9544]

As an aside, Gypsy Cab, O'Steens' and many other restaurants on St. George have been there for years!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

They tried to keep it around but the family didn't want to let the new owners have the name apparently

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

For sure! Gypsy is one of the best kept secrets in town

[@user-oz8sq6lu4m]

Thank you for sharing brother

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

No problem brother!

[@LovemyDrones]

I was the lead man on a restaurant at Aviles and King Street as an electrician. Started out as a nightmare because of the parking but then Covid hit. While a nightmare for businesses that were open, it was a blessing for me, parking became a breeze! Witnessed the removal of the monument in the plaza which now resides at a park along the river.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Yea I bet working downtown is tough with all the traffic. It's not like you can double park with ease either. Covid was a weird time. I remember going to downtown and nobody was out. Kinda surreal

[@judithfrazier7027]

the greatest little vacation/winter retreat on the planet. used to camp at stagecoach rv park, wonderful people, very accomidating and friendly. We stayed there for 15-16 yrs and I miss it dearly. Rich history all around. Lots of great memories of places and friends.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

That's awesome. Where are you from?

[@judithfrazier7027]

Pennsylvania, land of the cold winters!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@judithfrazier7027 lol I've remember. I lived in Central PA for a long time. Hbg Hershey

[@SuzyCain-os4tr]

Hi there nice videos…you mentioned my son in one Joey Pickles! What a hoot. We all live in NZ now. All the best!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

What!? That's insane that you stumbled on this. I hope Pickles is doing well! Tell him I remember him and riding his dirt bike up a tree as a kid 😆 What made you move to New Zealand?

[@ritawhittington48]

I love St. Augustine! Visited there twice and planning on going back in March.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

It's a great little city. What do you like most about it

[@ritawhittington48]

I love the ocean!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@ritawhittington48 do you have a favorite beach yet?

[@damoriginal]

We have the same problem in Myrtle Beach. It has gotten crazy here year round. Used to love the winter when we had the beach to ourselves.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

January through March is the best time to visit imo. Way less tourists

[@wkwright821]

Quaint DRINKING village with a fishing problem 👍

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I guess I messed that up huh?

[@D7Anout-qp5my]

Still Better Make fishing great again!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@D7Anout-qp5my I didn't know it wasnt?

Thanks Erin. Are you a local?

[@LowTideLowLife]

Got my wedding rings from American Indian store on Cuna street 30 years ago. And surfed Blow hole my whole life.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Do you currently live here? That's awesome man!

[@LowTideLowLife]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE ive been goin down there for 50yrs.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@LowTideLowLife love that park of the beaches area. A lil slower than the main drag. We just went to Salumeria up that way. Great food

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@LowTideLowLife apparently the surf is crazy rn because of the beach renourishment

[@flawlessent1ty]

Sarbez is sick we go there for the Mariokart

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Yes it is! Love Sarbez. I played space invaders with a beer and grilled cheese. What a night!

[@wally0073]

Loved the video, miss that place badly; my life goal at 65, live in st Augustine, will subscribe n follow big thx

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Where did you move to? I appreciate the feedback

[@brianfl33916]

I was just in St. Augustine. Love it. But if you think it’s gotten expensive there you should see how expensive it’s gotten here down in Naples. It’s ridiculous. The working locals are leaving because they are just priced out totally by the wealthy snowbirds buying their homes and some investment homes to keep them busy. Everything just costs more because it’s Naples. It will cost $200k more to build the same 2,000 square ft house on your lot as compared to an hour north. That same $50k swimming pool in Punta Gorda is $110k in Naples.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

It's all relative right? I know Naples has exploded since the pandemic, but to our standards here in NE FL it was always expensive. Coastal towns in FL are for the wealthy now

[@leahvalenzuela9779]

Thx you for video! Wondering if downtown closes if visiting after summer

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

No not at all. In fact I recommend visiting off peak times. Summer and winter could be a mad house comparatively. In September they have the Sing Out Loud Festival. Which had the black keys and Mumford and sons play. In February they have a jazz and blues festival. It's a great place year round. Us locals live for the off times

[@isara108]

I will recommend another restaurant well it's a bar but they have great food there Candlelight south I got their veggie burger there man the size was amazing portion-wise and it was delicious!

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Candlelight is a locals favorite! They have a blacken chicken sandwich that is great. Are you a local?

[@kellyclark7517]

Their wings are awesome!

[@bfree79]

The parking garage is $20 per car per day unless you’re a local who applied for the local discount.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Yea its expensive

[@VICSWEB1]

at 3:55, do you and your friends dance like that at the beach?

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

You can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. If your friends don't dance and if they don't dance well their no friends of mine. But no lol

[@user-wf7ki8bh4b]

😄

[@freddyvicente8167]

Where in the St Augustine area can I find indoor lap pools. Not outdoor. But indoor lap pools. Aquatic center or gym that offers that. I am a swimmer but need something indoors. Thank you.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

The YMCA on pope road has one I believe

[@freddyvicente8167]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE thank you!

[@wendyhamilton1234]

I've been looking...they don't exist. They are all outside.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@wendyhamilton1234 did you check the YMCA on pope road?

[@tyneanderson8830]

It’s an outdoor pool. St. Augustine doesn’t have an indoor lap pool.

[@franseawright8960]

Please check your spelling on the opening remarks. St. Augustine seems to be misspelled

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Ahh that sucks. Once it's posted I can't really make any adjustments. Thanks for letting me know

[@tyneanderson8830]

There’s definitely no beach parking at beach combers and it’s not on crescent beach.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Well there is public parking off a1a but you are right. I meant south beach grill. Got them switched up. Though it's not open any longer

[@kellyclark7517]

One of the most secretive stretches of beaches………not any more ty

Still hard to get to without 4wd

Not a "local". Probably live off 210.

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

What makes you say that?

[@tyneanderson8830]

100%! Haha. People in world golf act like they live in St. Aug!

[@robertguzman6117]

Dude chill with the effects every few seconds, so annoying

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

I'm working with a new editor so I'm figuring it out

[@patrick9685]

There is parking closer than the lightner museum and the garage that is 100% free but that’s a real secret

[@patrick9685]

Also the street parking at the beach is literally always open

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

You have to know where it is to be able to know you can park there. I covered those I believe in the parking section

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

Tell me your secrets. During nights of lights I feel like Lightner is your best bet

[@patrick9685]

@@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE🤫 and now your parking lot goes til 9

[@LIVINGINSTAUGUSTINE]

@@patrick9685 yea I'm mad they changed that. A huge L for locals
