The St. Augustine Pub Crawl

St. Augustine’s Favourite Walking Pub Tour!

 

The St. Augustine Pub Crawl isn’t your average ‘pub crawl’, but it is a historical walking pub tour visiting 5 of St. Augustine’s most unique, authentic pubs and taverns. One may experience a slice of the local St. Augustine culture whilst enjoying  tales of St. Augustine’s history along with traditional ‘Pub Lore’ of times gone by, around the world. The tour ticket includes a beverage at each pub stop (premium beer/ales/cider, soda or coffee).

This tour is a unique mix of local colour and the traditions of ‘Public Houses’ throughout time, historical St. Augustine, and the world. The average tour participant is between the ages of 29-65 (quite the range!), and the tour itself is more high-brow than perhaps a college pub crawl. Please note that the only ‘spirits’ on THIS tour are IN the pint glasses!

Old Drug Store in St. Augustine, Florida

The Authentic Old Drugstore takes you back to the early days when St. Augustine was but a Spanish hamlet.

It was built by Antonio Gomaas in 1739. He built it as a place of revelry, within the the jurisdiction of the city, for protection, but away from the actual settlement. They sold liquor, tobacco, medicine and Indian remedies.

 

They also sold their own medical concoctions. T.W. Speissegger, a pharmacist, bought the building from Gomaas decendant. In 1880 he moved the building to 46 1/2 Bay Street and then the moved it to 31 Orange Street during the fire of April 1887. The firm was registered August 1, 1875 in the Centennial Autographic Register and the National Directory. This Book was deposited in the archives of The Smithsonian in Washinton, D.C. The building went through many owner changes and many renovations. It was purchased in the late 1980′s by and is still owned by the Harris Foundation. They made many repairs and opened this facinating Museum free of charge to the public. The Authentic Old Drugstore is maintained and supported by the sales in the gift shop. The gift shop is contained in the area that was once a courtyard and has made no impact on the original historic building.
