Ann O'Malley's has been a fixture on the St. Augustine scene for over a decade and it's easy to see why. A husband-wife team own the quaint little spot, and the wife part of the team is a witty, wonderful, lovely Dublin, Ireland-born lass. Her husband plans the menu, which features an outstanding selection of sandwiches, soups, salads, and other fare. The atmosphere is as great as the food. It is a very "locals" kind of place, bringing together people from all walks of life and all age groups. Ann O'Malley's has genuine "character" -- something in short supply today. Moreover, it is PERFECTLY located in lovely, touristy St. Augustine--right across the street from the majestic Castillo de San Marcos Fort and at the very entrance to fabled and fabulous St. George Street. Needless to say, O'Malley's has a wonderful selection of beers and ales (Irish and otherwise) on tap. Stop in and cool your heels at O'Malley's (23 Orange Street) while spending a day with the family visiting the sights and sounds of America's Oldest City. Or, make a trip for their annual St. Patrick's Day and Halloween parties. It's a welcoming, friendly, and very CLEAN little spot. In fact, it's legendary on Florida's First Coast and beyond...I'm writing from California!
