Jack's is better known for the bar than the barbecue
Jack's BBQ has barbecue in the name and on the menu, but locals know it better as a beach bar. It is one of the cheaper places to drink near the ocean, with a full bar and Bootlegger Beach Brewing beside it.
The current Visit St. Augustine listing says the kitchen closes at 9 PM while the bar stays open until 2 AM. That tells you which side owns the late shift. The unofficial Jack's rule is simple: if you are still there late, the night has probably done its job. Let somebody else handle the ride home.
What to know before you go to Jack's BBQ
Jack's does not publish an official website. The current Visit St. Augustine listing still gives the beach address and daily hours, and 2026 city material identifies the owner at that location. Open the venue profile before a special trip because the public record still needs a direct official page.
