White Lion

Nestled in the heart of historic St. Augustine, White Lion is much more than just a bar – it’s a vibrant social hub that perfectly blends a trendy atmosphere with welcoming charm. Located at 20 Cuna St, this establishment has carved out a niche as a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike seeking a lively yet approachable place to unwind.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an energetic vibe filled with upbeat music and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you’re hopping in after a day on the water or meeting friends for a casual night out, White Lion serves as a magnetic gathering place. As Jeff Morrison enthusiastically states, it’s a "classy joint" with “fantastic specials” that make it hard to resist – especially on Tuesdays when wings are half-price and drinks like the crisp Whiskey and Coke or refreshing Mojito go for just $1.50.

The menu offers an impressive array of bar favorites that are as satisfying as they are crave-worthy. Imagine biting into their signature Giant Fried Fish Sandwich with its perfectly crispy exterior contrasted by tender, flaky fish inside, paired with a side of seasoned fries smothered in cheese. The Chicken Nachos and Blackened Chicken Nacho Supreme deliver bold flavors layered over crunchy chips, while the Fried Mac & Cheese Balls provide irresistible comfort in every gooey bite. For seafood fans, the Baja Tacos with fried shrimp or the zesty Aguachile offer fresh, vibrant flavors that elevate the classic bar menu.

What truly distinguishes White Lion is its ability to bridge different crowds seamlessly. As David White notes, while the weekend nightlife leans toward a younger crowd eager to socialize, the atmosphere remains friendly and inclusive – making it a suitable hangout for different age groups at various times. The bar’s mix of lively energy during peak hours and a laid-back vibe at other times creates a balanced space where you can either dive into a spirited night out or savor casual conversation over a Cosmopolitan or a cold Stella Artois.

Craig Craft sums it up beautifully: it’s a "very nice place," combining a trendy setting with a welcoming atmosphere and “amazing staff” who really elevate the entire experience. Located just a stone’s throw from the water, White Lion is a perfect stop for anyone in St. Augustine looking for delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a place that feels like a natural extension of the city’s rich social tapestry.

Whether you’re a college student celebrating after class, a local family enjoying a casual evening, or just passing through, White Lion promises a dynamic experience where great food, friendly faces, and spirited fun come together effortlessly.
