Ice Plant Bar

It is such a neat place to enjoy a farm to table meal! The food was incredible, the service was exceptional, and the drinks were handcrafted. If you have kids, don't let that discourage you from going. We were able to leave our stroller downstairs, and they had a high chair and kids menu available. There is also an outdoor patio. We tried the burger and the Caesar salad, with watermelon lemonade and lavender lemonade to wash it down. 5/5!

No reservations required.Tried the crab beignet, pimento cheese & bread, burger , fish of the day. Everything was well seasoned and delicious made from scratch. Cocktails were great and balanced. Service was attentive. Love the historical aspects of the industrial building. Really enjoy that it’s off the beaten path. If in St. Augustine I recommended this restaurant.

Gina was our Server and she was phenomenal! She explained everything thoroughly and made recommendations that ended up being incredible! It was such a lovely day and the craft cocktails are the most unique cocktails I’ve ever seen.

Finally made it here after several friends recommended it. Loved it! We had smoked fish dip, mushroom bisque, and shrimp aguachille. Oh... and several cocktails! Everything was delicious! We were looking forward to entrees but ended up so full. We will definitely be back!

The best dinning experience in Florida. We stopped in St. Augustine when moving out of Florida and happened to discover this gem. What an experience! The ambiance is calm and relaxed. The space has an industrial look that has been left intact and just minimal touches have been added. Tables are spacious even for two and have plenty of room in between them. Food (which is farm to table) was amazing and drink were great. Service was impeccable. Sarah, our waitress, was absolutely fenomenal. Do not miss this spot if you are in the area!!!!

Service was amazing, I think the food menu need more description . Food flavor and texture was adequate for the price range , you are paying for a limited menu in a historic site (it is so pretty by the way) if you go early enough do the destilería tour. The drink was flavor forward and not spirit forward. The expresso martini was flavorful and the mule was 69% ginger beer 25% ice then the alcohol (not measure mathematics lol) If you have that in mind this is a pretty place to have an afternoon with friends.

Celebrated our 24th anniversary with Sarah as our waitress. She was fantastic. Everything was perfect. The food was sooo good.

I don’t know that I have ever given a restaurant a full 5 stars but hands down this place was amazing. The food exceeded my expectations. The service was beyond outstanding. Everything is made from scratch farm to table. Looking forward to many more lunches and dinners here.

Everything is great there but nothing turns me off to a place more than when a server takes your bill at the table and puts the tip option as 30/35/40. Won't go back.

I've had several "oh no's" to this review.. not quite sure why. The only thing I can think of is that people didn't like the fact that I ENJOYED the fact that the bartenders and severs had a GREAT time working together. I stand by my review. If you see people enjoying their job AND providing AMAZING service and have a problem with that, that's weird. Unless I'm missing something because I'm not local. But for me, we had a great time!

We had brunch here and it was fantastic! The interior is nice with plenty of seating. We started with Bloody Mary and a cider for my husband. They have an array of different cocktails to choose from, nice bar area too! For the main entrees, we both enjoyed our orders. House made pappardelle pasta and Braised Beef Cheek Sugo was the standout! Rich, savory, and perfectly al dente. The Half Pound Ice Plant Burger was equally impressive, it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. However, it would be even better if they accepted reservations, as our group of ten friends often dines out together.

Incredible craft cocktails and AMAZING fare. The best part? The authenticity of their ingredients, devotion to curating the perfect meal and pure consistency. Every.Single.Time. Major kudos to the team there for creating such an incredible experience.

I went to the Ice Plant last weekend and it did not disappoint! It's great to see that even a year later they have remained consistent! The food was delicious, service was amazing, and the ambiance is great as always. My group had the crab beignets which is one of my favorites! It was still delicious and full of crab meat! We also tried the truffle Parmesan fries and they were delicious! On my last visit I had the fried chicken but this time I tried the gochujang pork chop which was a new item and it was out of this world! It was packed with flavor and spicy which I liked, it paired well with the potatoes. The portion size was big so I had leftovers. The rest of my group had the fried chicken and the local fish which was the Cobia. They all enjoyed their meals. I had a cocktail which was refreshing.

I'm happy we finally got to see experience this place as our friends said we would love it and that we did! I love that this place is farm to table so everything is fresh. Also, I love the ambiance of this place, it's really industrial but has low lighting for a romantic date night which I loved. When you first arrive, there are stairs that you walk up to lead you to the restaurant which it's very open and spacious-2 bars on each side of the restaurant with seating on both sides. The bar I liked because it wasn't too close to the main seating area so if you couldn't find an area at the bar there is lots of room to stand and not be in the way of others. As we waited, I got a drink-forgot the name but it was strong and good. They don't skimp on the liquor. Once we were seated, our friends recommended to get the blue crab beignets and we got the truffle fries, OMG both were delicious especially the beignets-I definitely want to go back just for those! As for my entree, I got the catch of the day which was the corbia and it was delicious. You can taste every bit of how fresh and seasoned the fish and all the components were! It was super filling too. My husband got the fried chicken and hoecakes and he absolutely LOVED his and couldn't finish it all. This is definitely a place worth trying and keeping in rotation every time we come to St. Augustine. We definitely will be back this place has good vibes, good drinks and bomb food!

Awesome atmosphere over St. Augustine distillery with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious food!

Wow. We haven't stepped foot in this place since it opened. We were in town for a concert so wanted to check it out for a cocktail. First of all this place is beautiful, I absolutely love the bathrooms and the waitress was incredible. I didn't know what drink to get so she walked through what she thought I might like. Even though they have a small menu I feel like they just do it right. We got the blue crab beignets and the pimento cheese with bread.... I mean they sound super simple right? How could I be head over heels for these two dishes? Well I am. I'll dream about them until I can eat it again!

After a fun tour downstairs of St. Augustine Distillery I was surprised to find this fantastic restaurant atop this old building. Kevin offered excellent service and suggestions, I enjoyed his recommendations from beverages to lunch. Mushroom soup is savory and delicious. The shrimp and grits with steak cubes is out of this world!! Creamy complex flavors, plenty of shrimp and steak cubes, herbs and tomato, capers all blended made this a must try entree. So yum!! Great atmosphere in the high ceilings and spaces they created dividing up the large upper floor. Well done! I'll be back again for more!!

We ordered the pimento cheese which was fantastic and set the bar high to start. Home made bread was great. My wife had the Dutch oven pbj pancake. She liked it but I was not a huge fan. It was more like a cake and very thick. I thought it would have more of the pbj flavor but the lemon was heavy. I ordered a burger medium with fries. Came out well done with peppers and potatoes and spring mix on it. I am not a fan of wilted spring mix or well done meat and expected fries. I swapped this out for a shrimp roll. I don't recall it saying this was cold... to me, pretty bland. Very unexciting. I wouldn't be a repeat customer with this menu. (Brunch menu) Pictures were after since I forgot to take before we ate except the pimento.

The Ice Plant was recommended to us as a popular spot for locals in St. Augustine. It was really cool to learn about the building's history, and I highly recommend going on the free self-guided distillery tour adjacent to the restaurant. I think it's so cool that it's a from scratch kitchen, including their ice! Our server was really kind and offered some great recs. We started off with the blue crab beignets which I thought were absolutely delicious! Packed with crab and they go really well with a squeeze of lemon. The datil remoulade was great (basically a tartar sauce). They are very rich, so we each only ate one. We also got the fried chicken with hoecakes and collard greens. I loved the collard greens which were flavored with a smokey bacon. The fried chicken was a bit dry and some parts of the breading tasted burnt. The hoecakes were also surprisingly dry though they had good flavor. The apricot butter was delicious, and I also enjoyed the gravy. Overall, I just wasn't blown away by the fried chicken dish which I thought would be a hit. I would have given this place a 4 easily, if not for that dish.

We chose this place for drinks and dinner based off other Yelp reviews; can't say enough about how delicious the drinks and food were. Also very cool atmosphere and wonderful service.

Came here after our tour of the distillery. They are located just upstairs and offer craft cocktails and food. We didn't get any of the food as we ate before starting the distillery tour but did get a round of drinks. The bartenders were friendly and the restaurant had some nice decor. Worth the stop for a drink if you are doing a tour.

This will be our fourth time there over the past ten years and we're never dissapointed. One of the most memorable things about the Ice Plant is the creativity behind the scenes to concoct some amazing dishes. From our first experience I'll never forget their Watermelon and Jalapeno salad. Who would think to combine these two main ingredients? Awesome. This visit we had the opportunity to enjoy a Shrimp & Carolina Gold Middlins dish which was buttery heaven. Smooth and silky grits, basically, but melt in your mouth perfect. Our second dish was the Duroc Pork Chop which was equally as great. The chop itself was moist and tender, accompanied by brussel sprouts drizzled by a black garlic balsami, next to some pickled fennel and roasted acorn squash. While waiting for our table we had the chance to watch two square blocks of ice get melted down to crystal clear orbs that cooled our bourbon. Delightful, I have to admit!! If you've never been there, treat yourself. You will not be dissapointed!

First time eating here and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. Best cesar salad I've ever had. The aquachile app was amazing too, and the shrimp and middlins were delicious! Will be back!

. This was our first visit to this place, and we were immediately impressed by the laid-back atmosphere. They had left the iron beams from the building's past as an ice plant intact, which added to the unique charm of the restaurant. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food was deliciously seasoned to perfection.

Always worth every penny. There have been different menu items every time we go which is nice. Seasonal, fresh , clean--NEVER disappointed. Great service.

The last time we were in town, we did not stop in here to have lunch after our distillery tour as we had other plans. So this go around we made it a point to stop for lunch. Our bartender Germaine was incredibly friendly, even sat down and wrote down out a list of places to check out in the area! Great customer service! He truly made our meal experience wonderful! we opted for the steak sandwich as well as the fried chicken with hoe cakes and collard greens. By far, these were amazing meals! We would definitely order them again. We also opted for their handcrafted sodas. I got the cherry cola, which was perfect not overly sweet and my husband opted for their ginger cola, which is absolutely amazing! Fresh ginger, lime was soda. can't get much fresher than that. Love the vibe and the ambience of this location definitely takes you back! We also love that even though it's a restaurant/bar they're super focused on their ice and giving you the highest quality ice. From the pebble ice to the gentleman cut ice some of the clearest ice we have ever seen. Truly does enhance your meal.

This place was AMAZING. 10/10 recommend to all friends if you're in St. Augustine. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better! Matteo was our server for brunch and he was superb. He had great suggestions, knowledge of the menu, and some history tidbits to share. Get the eggs Benedict because that sausage, egg, and kimchi mix was incomparable. The steak sandwich was also delish and cooked perfectly. If you're just there for drinks I highly recommend anything off their housemate menu as those are all made from scratch. The mule was my favorite and I typically am not a fan because of ginger beer, but with the house made ginger it was SO GOOD.

Checked this place out on a Friday at 1130. We were seated immediately. There were prob 4 people in there when we arrived and more like 20 when we left. We ordered the avocado toast, the Ban Me (not sure how to spell) sliders and the Parmesan truffle fries. Everything was full of flavor, came out the perfect temp and was good by the end of the meal. Casual to cocktail feel. Definitely a spot to check out for drinks! Good for groups or a fun date night!

When you get recommended a place by friends, you usually go in with high expectations--which, more often than not, aren't met. The Ice Plant not only met but exceeded them in every way. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was welcoming, and the drinks and food were top-notch. This is not just a bar--it's an experience. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted and served over custom-cut ice they prepare daily. A friend asked for a custom sangria, and the bartenders didn't hesitate to whip up something delicious. The bar team here knows their craft and is happy to create whatever you throw at them. Smoked Local Fish Dip - Served with Old Bay kettle chips and house-made pickles, this was an incredible start. The chips were crisp and well-seasoned, and the pickles were a perfect pairing. House-Made Pimento Cheese - Soft, garlicky toast paired with Guava-Datil jelly gave this dish an unexpected but amazing balance of sweet and savory. Local Fish Sandwich - A massive, perfectly cooked piece of fresh daily catch, lightly dressed so the true flavor of the fish shines through. Served with pickled green tomato, lil gems, and datil remoulade on a brioche bun. Simple, fresh, and flavorful. Fernandina Rock Shrimp Roll - A Maine-style roll with lemon, mayo, and chives on a buttery split-top brioche bun. The portion was generous, and the shrimp was fresh and tender. Skillet Fried Chicken & Hoecakes - Served with collard greens, sawmill gravy, and apricot butter, this was Southern comfort food at its finest. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. If you're in St. Augustine, The Ice Plant is a must-visit. Whether you're there for craft cocktails, fresh seafood, or an unbeatable atmosphere, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

This place doesn't need my review. It is a unique setting, and excellent restaurant and a fabulous bar with true mixologists. It is a pricey restaurant. The service is excellent, the food is tasty and the setting is unique, although the menu is pretty limited and not a particular value. The setting is inside an actual Ice Plant that operated since 1927 producing ice for the populace, businesses and shrimp boats. One side of the building is the Ice Plant Bar and Restaurant and the other is the St. Augustine Distillery. You feel like you're walking into an old factory building, greeted promptly and taken upstairs for seating. Pretty cool environment well worth checking. The bar is amazing. This is a fine place to come for drinks, special occasions, or to just hang out. Unique drinks, three different kinds of ice and house syrups and mixes are delicious, interesting and just plain fun. The food is good. Pricey . . . but good. I felt the choices were limited, but what was there was delicious. Servings are reasonable but not huge. I particularly like the smoked fish dip ($18) and loved the Blue Crab Beignets ($24). I could eat these two dishes all darn day, but I'm not sure my cardiologist would approve. The pappardelle and braised beef cheek sugo was delicious (although I thought a little small for $24), the arugula salad was fresh and tasty although for $18 I thought a little small as well. We tried several other menu items and everything was fresh, flavorful and brought to the table timely. Service was excellent, informative without being intrusive. We'd go back for a unique or special occasion or to hang at the bar. Overall, a fun experience.

Shockingly good breakfast! Got the two-egg special. The bacon is amazing. The service was quick and attentive. The big open space has been used imaginatively for a welcoming restaurant. (This may have been the first time I brought home leftovers from a breakfast order--it was THAT good and THAT plentiful).

Beautiful historical building fresh I innovative food. Excellent presentation off food and our server Jenna was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely return and recommend.

Had THE BEST fish sandwich of my life. Tried the Watermelon Sugar High drink, was delicious! Great service! It's also right above the Distillery so go take a tour and tasting and go eat some delicious food!

After the distillery tour, we decided to stop at the ice plant for a couple drinks. The place was very cool and spacious. Lots of seats, inside and out. The bartenders were very nice and offered different recommendations. We grabbed our drinks and a seat out on the balcony. The drinks were both very good and flavorful! They had food there too but we didn't eat this time (although it looked good!)

Stopped in with family for appetizers & cocktails. The food & beverages were delicious and wonderful presentation. The service was great too!

Favorite restaurant to visit when we come to St Augustine. This year, I got to bottle my own whiskey! Downstairs, there is a distillery you can tour and a gift shop. The restaurant is upstairs with plenty of air conditioned seating and a bar. Service is always quick and the menu is very succinct. I ordered the mule and the 1/2 lb ice plant burger . The mule is outstanding and the burger is cooked to request and seasoned well. After lunch, wife took me to the distillery to bottle my own bottle of 6 year old whiskey. They walk you through the entire process: filling the bottle, filling out the label and customizing with your info, and corking the bottle, It's not cheap, but definitely a cool experience!

The service was exceptional, from the hostess Manessa (sp.) to the server, Tiffany, to the kitchen staff and management. The food was out of this world, I'm obsessed with the fried chicken and hoecakes, and the focaccia bread was to die for. Still unsure which dipping sauce was the best, but leaning towards pistachio pesto. My cocktail was also amazing, a thoughtful flavor explosion that was fully appreciated. So glad we took a recommendation from a random stranger on the street who heard us talking about where to eat; it was perfection. Thank you for making my sisters birthday extra special!

So here is a place that makes everything from scratch. The food is made from scratch. The sauces are made from scratch the seltzers the mixers the ice is all made from scratch amazing the menu was very small. I don't know how many items eight or 10 everything was awesome service was awesome. We had a girl named diamond a girl's best friend.

We went here late, one of few places in downtown St Augustine opened past 9pm We had a couple of drinks & apps, the shrimp toast & the pork belly sliders. Bartender was very friendly. I was disappointed they didn't have shrimp & grits on their menu as it showed it on Yelp

6.5 Stars!!! Fantastic in every regards! Me and my gf stopped by one night after not being able to get a table at St. Augustine Fish Camp. I am so glad we did too because I literally had the best app of my entire life here. We ordered: - CIGAR CITY JAI ALAI IPA for me (Tasty) - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO for her (Delish) - BLUE CRAB BEIGNETS (HANDS DOWN THE BEST APP IN AMERICA) - HOUSE MADE PIMENTO CHEESE (Very Good) I had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a reason. I can't say enough about this place because everything about it screams five stars. The interior is romantic and beautiful. It has a great little bar, plus the outside patio area is great. The building itself welcomes you from afar. I cannot wait to return and try more of their food and drinks. I love this place! Enjoy :D

Fantastic drinks.... They make amazing combinations and concoctions! Great ambience for a date!

Perfect spot for a bite to eat when in Saint Augustine. Freshly made sodas and spirits . Really nice ambiance and decor. We will come back for dinner with large group.

Why did I not know about this place!? I have to credit seeing this listed on the 2025 Top 25 Places to Eat list for Jax. When I arrived, I came just in time for happy hour which starts at 2:30pm and ends at 5pm. Per the Yelp reviews, I knew I needed to try the blue crab beignets. I also glanced over the happy hour cocktail menu and ordered the champagne cocktail. As the beignets came out, immediately I was shook! These were huge and as you cut into them, wow! The beignets were filled with fresh blue crab meat, the dough itself wasn't undercooked at all. It was very soft with that crispy exterior. I couldn't even eat both of them because they were huge and also I wanted to save room for my lunch. I ordered the grilled octopus and chorizo tacos, which my server said was a great choice. I was thrilled when they came out. The grilled octopus had the perfect chewy texture and seasoning. The chorizo had a little bit of a kick and was an interesting pairing with the grilled octopus and sweet pineapples. The plantains were soft on the inside with a perfect crisp on the ends. Overall, the Ice Plant was amazing. From the awesome atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food, I will be returning when I make another day trip to St. Augustine.

It's been a minute since I have been. Let me tell you we were not disappointed! My friend and I started at the upstairs bar as we waited for the remaining party to arrive. Luckily we found 2 seats at the bar and the magic began. As we reviewed the menu we had made our decision. Me= Saltburn. It got me at Tequila and jalapeño. The drink was smooth with a small bite. Although I had hoped for spicer there was no disappointment My Friend = Lolita. A delicious concoction of Vodka,elderflower and Grapefruit. It was beautifully pink! Friends arrived and the drinks kept flowing. We tried Rhinestone Cowboy and some Vodka Martinis. Time for a late lunch. The choices being past Brunch were minimal but oh so satisfying. 2 orders of skillet fried chicken and hoecakes an Ice Plant Burger and a Bistro Steak Sandwich. The food was amazing and the peach butter was Devine but the star was Sarah our waitress. We missed pics of the food as we were deep in conversation when it arrived. If you have not experienced Ice Plant please put it at the top of your list

Ash was so fun and creative with her bartending. We tried 6 different drinks and they all were fantastic. Def recommend.

Great atmosphere, fun setting The burger was made with short ribs and beef brisket. Super moist and flavorful. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Great service Jasmine was an excellent server. Very attentive

The ice plant is a really cool designed restaurant and bar. They also have a distillery and you can tour the distillery while you wait for the rest of your party or whenever you're finished. We went for brunch and everything was great! Our waitress was very sweet and provided great recommendations and suggestions. I ended up with the avocado toast with freshly squeezed orange juice...it was delicious! It's slightly in the more expensive end, $19 for avocado toast but it was

We stopped in for a drink and stayed for a few more! Our "mixologists" were incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service. The beverage Menu seems to change frequently, so absolutely worth the repeat business!

It's "all right place" I had a burger cooked well done, instead of medium. The famous lemonades is too sweet. Service is alright too

Wish I took more photos! This place was amazing 7 years ago when I lived here and my first time back in a long time and it's just as I remember. Got the fish dip -- hasn't changed im so glad because it's my favorite. I got the fish dinner which was flounder and it had a Devine curry sauce. I highly recommend checking it out

The food here was great. I loved that we could put our name in and then do the distillery tour. They ended up contacting us before we were done with the tour so they let us finish and put our name back on top when we were ready. The fish and chicken and burger we ordered were great. The drinks also were yummy. I wish more of the drinks were made with the alcohol at the distillery. It is pricey but thought it was worth it.

The Ice Plant is about 1/2 mile from downtown St Augustine and a great place to have lunch or drinks with friends. I sat at the bar and had the octopus and pineapple tacos - a delicious blend of flavors I had never had before. Service was efficient and friendly. A great place slightly off the beaten path.

Nice little gem in the historic St Augustine area. What makes this place special is the unique industrial architecture that makes for a really cool ambiance for drinks/dinner. When you enter the dimly lit building, you're lead upstairs to the dining area on their 2nd story with a back drop of a swanky rustic bar as the center piece of the room. Shortly after we were seated, we were greeted by our server and placed our drink order. This was hands down one of the best espresso martini's I've ever had - Flavor wise & topped with the most perfect foam. For a stater, we shared 2 blue crap beignets and immediately after taking my 1st bite, I knew I had messed up by not ordering the larger portion. Delicious is an understatement - They are light, perfectly fried pillows of crab flawlessness that are light & airy and melt in your mouth. I will undoubtedly be dreaming about these in my sleep for a while. For our entrees, my boyfriend had the burger (which he enjoyed but didn't seem blown away by) and I ordered the truffle pasta. I was so excited for this dish as truffle is one of my favorite things on this planet, but I was disappointed by this dish sadly. Very lacking in flavor and the truffle was pretty much non existent. I don't know if it was a fluke, since previous reviews I read raved about this dish, but I wasn't impressed. It wasn't inedible by any means, but the truffle flavor it promised was missing. Other than not being a fan of my main course, I really enjoyed my experience here overall and would return if I'm ever in the St Augustine area in the future.

don't walk : run to the ice plant and order the bahn mi sliders!! grilled lemongrass sausage, pickled daikon and carrot slaw, gochujang aioli, house-made brioche! i had these when visiting and haven't stopped talking about them! wow! i can't wait to visit again and order them with my husband!

This restaurant exceeded expectations with quick service and generous portion sizes. The steak sandwich was bursting with flavor, and the massive pancake was absolutely delicious. A 10/10 experience--I highly recommend it!

My mom and I were in st. Augustine last weekend and wanted to get cocktails before dinner. We walked in and were able to get seats at the back bar. The host and bartender were so friendly and made sure we felt welcome. Drinks were fabulous I had the watermelon tequila drink and my mom ordered a spicy margarita off the menu with jalapeño infused tequila. We wished we had time to stay for appetizers but we had other reservations. Definitely would come back!

Phenomenal handcrafted cocktails. Farm-to-table dining. Possibly haunted. Count me in! Service was stellar! Thank you for an enjoyable brunch.
