History
In 1965, the community of St. Augustine came together to transform the historical roots of the city as a form of celebrating the city’s 400th Anniversary. They renovated the City Gate and Cathedral Basilica, with the dream of building monuments to make sure the city was celebrated for years to come.
Within those dreams came the St. Augustine Amphitheater! This world-class music venue holds over 4,100 people, a large plaza, four concession stands, and a beautiful botanical garden with walking trails.

History
The building’s history goes way back. It used to be a gristmill in the 1880s! Then, in the 1950s, the place was transformed into a bar. The owners eventually rebuilt the tavern, expanding the rare tree house interior, and ended up turning it into one of the top places to experience live music in St. Augustine. Now, it is considered a historic landmark. The 300-year-old Pecky Cypress wood panels from the original building are now part of the renovated Militop!
