TradeWinds Lounge

St Augustine


Tiny bathrooms and big hairdos rule this nautical-themed dive. Smelling sweetly of stale beer, this classic dive bar has survived two locations and six decades. Crowds tumble out the door during happy hour, and there's live music – mostly Southern rock or ’80s – nightly. Smoky (for the moment), fun and old school.
