Had an extremely unpleasant interaction with one of the bartenders. Being a bartender myself, I understand the stress that comes with of high volume crowds and how it can be annoying at times when customers ask silly no brainer questions. However, a group of my friends and I were looking for a place to get carbombs and decided to see if the White Lion had them.
When i approached the bar and asked the bartender if they could make carbombs she responded in a condescending tone saying “I guess I could make a car bomb”. The lack of confidence in her response gave me the impression she wasn’t exactly sure and I asked if they had Guinness. The bartender gave me a look pf disgust and yelled at me and said
“obviously we have Guinness if I just told you we can make a car bomb” and rolled her eyes. I told her I was sorry for my obvious question and explained that I only asked because she seemed unsure. Both of the other bartenders saw this interaction and apologized on her behalf and one of them stepped in to take over. Both of the other bartenders were super friendly and were doing an awesome job with speedy and great service.
My group and I also observed that she approached the next few customers with the same horrible attitude.
“What do you want” in a sour tone.
She also walked over to a group on the other Side of the bar and was mocking me to them and laughing.
Based on the look of her coworkers faces throughout this entire interaction, it seems to be typical behavior for her that they also have to put up with.
It’s extremely rare that I write reviews, especially negative ones- however, it’s a great shame that such a vibrant fun establishment has to be tarnished with a rotten person representing them.
Regardless, I appreciated the other bartenders and their compassion and tipped them %35 for the round of drinks I bought. It’s unfortunate that the tips are pooled because she didn’t deserve a single penny of my tip.
I can imagine there’s plenty of bartenders that would love to hired at the White Lion for its fun atmosphere and i genuinely hope she gets replaced with someone who deserves the role instead.
Customer service can be extremely aggravating at times, but if your reaction of receiving a silly question is to explode on a customer then this isn’t the profession for you.
Otherwise, the drinks were good, the atmosphere was great, games were fun, and vibes were high.

Went 10/13 on Monday for Monday night football with my gf. JJ was awesome attentive and kind. Went back 10:15pm on 10/14 a Tuesday was greeted and IDed by a kind man and then went in to the bathroom while my gf was going to order drinks. 7 minutes went by she was never approached the bartender was just chatting with people, she then also went to the bathroom after a while we both came out at about 10:25 and the female bartender was just texting on the end of the bar still ignoring us so we ended up leaving. Absolutely horrible behavior men’s bathroom was clean tho.

I don’t recommend this place.
We went there to have some drinks, we had one and was enough…
the bartender was so rude.
I put $2 tip on the bill but I think they didn’t like that because they still added $4 to my bill. That’s just ridiculous. If you don’t offer a good service you need to understand it’s not mandatory.
Don’t go there!!!!

BEWARE!! THEY WILL CHANGE THE TIP ON YOUR TAB!! They charged an extra 45.00 dollar tip on my card. I had a $10.07 tab, I put a $5 dollar tip, WHICH IS GENEROUS CONSIDERING THE TAB WAS $10.07. I check my bank account later on and I’m being charged $55.07. Very trashy, ungrateful, and extremely inappropriate of the establishment.

Don’t know who gave this establishment less then 5 stars but shame on them. Its a classy joint, yummy food, try the wings. Fantastic specials 1/2 price wings and 1.50 drinks on Tuesdays. Not far off the water, great stop for the college drunk crowd or family types coming off the pontoon boat. Jeff Morrison %100 diggs the white Lion.

I’m a little older so I wouldn’t generally hang out there on the weekend at night. However, it’s a great place and the staff is awesome. Also, if you’re 20 or 30 something, it’s a great spot to meet people.

1st time in St. Augustine, this place was recommended. Very slow service. Took forever to get 3 beers out. Appetizer came out after food. Our waitress seemed to have more important things to do. Food was average at best. Will not be returning
