Ice Plant Bar, Bar and restaurant in St. Augustine, US
Ice Plant Bar is a restaurant and drinking establishment housed in a former industrial building where cocktails are made with house-pressed juices, specialized bitters, and crafted syrups. The interior retains metal fixtures and architectural elements from the building's original design, creating a setting that blends history with contemporary craft bartending.
The building was originally an ice manufacturing plant from 1927 that supplied ice blocks to the local fishing industry. The space has since transformed from industrial production to a venue focused on food and beverage culture.
The restaurant celebrates regional sourcing, incorporating ingredients from local producers including grass-fed beef, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables from nearby farms. This approach connects visitors to the food traditions and communities that define the area.
The bar opens daily from 11:30 AM with late-night service extending to 2:00 AM on weekends for those seeking evening or late drinks. Visitors can find the location easily along Ribiera Street near the downtown riverfront area.
The bar manufactures ice on-site using modern techniques, continuing the building's original purpose in a completely different way than a century ago. This connection between past production and present craft creates an unusual bridge between the location's two lives.
