Ice Plant

St Augustine


The hottest spot in St. Augustine – with nary a Spanish colonial morsel in sight – flaunts exposed concrete, raw brickwork and soaring windows surrounding a vintage, dual-facing centerpiece bar all carved out of a former ice factory. Here coolsters imbibe some of Florida's finest cocktails, mixed by overall-clad bartenders, and snack on farm-to-table bites.
