What people are saying
“Bogus $4 drinks”
Mar 2020
The Rum drink they advertised for $4 would have been better IF they had put any Rum in it. The bartender poured a glass full of pink liquid into 99% of the glass. Then "waved" a bottle of dark rum over the top of the glass. Perhaps a few ml of rum was added. SO DISAPPOINTING. The entertainment was some guy who stopped between songs to light up a smoke and blow it into the microphone - great guitarist, voice like old sandpaper. I finished half of my fruit juice and left to save my sanity. Fool me once...
“THE BEST for local music”
Nov 2019
Come for the music! Stay for the music! Dance to the music! Everyone's a 'local' at Trade Winds! The booze is decently priced. Check out the web site to see who is playing when!

Smoking establishments I thought were no longer in existence! I know, they don't serve food so by law....blah blah blah.
Saw many folks turning away to leave.
Music was fun, nice to find a place with live music, locals and decent prices.

Awesome local bar
Mar 2019 • Couples
We have been coming to trade winds for years. The staff is always a lot of fun and make it worth the stop. They always have great live music. This stop was a young lady playing guitar. (I wish I remember her name, but we had too much fun if you get my drift). Anyway, I highly recommend trade
winds to pass some time, listen to some great music, and have a few drinks.

Every town needs a Trade Wind
Jul 2016 • Couples
We arrived late into St Augustine and went exploring the quiet streets. The quiet was being interrupted by the sound of a grinding guitar. We found at the end of this The Trade Wind Tropical Lounge, and we were very pleased.
The band this evening was a trio lead by a maniac on the lead guitar. We have seen a number of acts on our travels but with group is top 10 or even 5 overall.
I think the word to describe the bar atmosphere is eclectic. More accurately would be rough around the edges, or perfection in my mind. It's all about fun here, drink, dance, smoke, sing whatever you idea of fun is. Staff are great, quick efficient without the illusion they are anything more or less. It's nice to be in a place that knows it's purpose and does it very well. Thank you Trade Winds Tropical Lounge for being you.

I don't love this bar
Aug 2016 • Friends
Should be called Smoker's Honkey Dive. I can't remember the last time I saw so many people smoking at once, in the middle of the day. It was so dark and smokey I thought I had stepped back in time. The guy playing guitar was good, but we could only make it through one beer and when we left we wreaked of cigarettes. I only wanted a public bathroom, bought drinks because we used the restrooms. I would never go back, can't actually believe it's popular enough to remain open but hey if you are a smoker and like darkness and music, this is your spot.

Good Drinks at a Great Price
Jul 2019 • Couples
When you are not too snooty to dive in the diveiest of dive bars Trade Winds is your place. They have great margaritas for $4 bucks and the singers sing songs you can sing along to, all in a dark bar that makes you wonder if the walls could talk what stories they would tell. We had a great time and we will be back...it sure beat some of the high dollar bars in town that was for sure.

Great music bar with some really good acts.
Drinks are reasonably priced and service from the girls on the floor is quick and friendly
You can smoke.
If you’re part of the anti smoke police please stay away.

RACISTS!
Mar 2017 • Friends
We went there and they would not let us in because we had Puerto Rico Drivers License and mind you that PR is the US. They completely made a scene and beyond embarrassing it was insulting!

Smoking inside decent dive bar in st Augustine
Jul 2016 • Couples
Live music and lively late night crowd. My friends had beers and I was the DD. I don't like smelling like an ashtray so I was not enjoying this bar.
