Steps away from the bayfront, the Milltop Tavern & Listening Room offers the city's best burgers, blues and breezes! (Actually the daily live local music features all genres and some of the best local musicians you can experience, something The Milltop has been providing for more than 50 years!) Originally built as a gristmill in the 1880s, the Milltop was transformed into a bar in the 1950s. After 20 years of successfully serving a loyal and ever-increasing customer base, the owners saw the potential to improve and expand the Milltop experience. They rebuilt and expanded the unique tree house-style interior and decks, and renamed it The Milltop Tavern & Listening Room. In 2016, the tavern’s building and site—which was granted historic landmark status—required a complete renovation. During construction, the owners reinstalled 300-year-old pecky cypress wood panels from the original Milltop interior to recreate its original warm character and the striking acoustics that this type of material provides. With the addition of a full-service kitchen, full bar, and outdoor balcony overlooking St. George Street, the new Milltop was born and remains a favorite for live music, drinks and delicious homemade food for local residents and visitors alike. The comfortable laid-back atmosphere is reminiscent of its centuries-old St. Augustine history.
