Bar Citra is at 3676 North Ponce de Leon Boulevard in St. Augustine, in the flagship unit of a restored mid-century complex at the gateway to Fort Mose. A September 2026 report described it as a coffee house by day and a natural-wine bar at night, so the best time to visit depends on the experience you want.
Choose between the daytime and evening formats
Visit during the day for the coffee-house format. Specific daytime offerings may change, so check the current menu before planning around a particular item.
At night, natural wine becomes the focus. The regular seasonal menu features sourdough pizza al taglio, Caesar salad and seasonal plates designed to complement the wine selection.
Build an evening order
For a meal, start with the sourdough pizza al taglio and add the Caesar salad or current seasonal plates. The menu is seasonal, making this a more reliable plan than arriving with one specific dish in mind.
An on-site bottle shop also offers the option to purchase wine to take home. Bar Citra was among four St. Augustine-area restaurants recognized in the 2026 MICHELIN Florida Guide.
Plan around happy hour or a tasting
Visit St. Augustine reports a daily happy hour from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and free wine tastings on Saturdays from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. These are separate from the regular seasonal food menu; confirm the current happy-hour offerings and Saturday tasting selections with the restaurant before visiting.
Bar Citra is reported open daily. Choose the afternoon for the coffee-house format or happy hour, or visit Saturday evening to combine the natural-wine-bar setting with the free tasting and a meal built around pizza, Caesar salad and seasonal plates.
